"Brazen" is the first in Queen-of-the-menage Maya Banks 'Brazen' series. Her sex scenes are very erotic and her characters are very tortured and normally I like that. But there was just something about this one that kept needling at me and kept me from enjoying it as much as her other books.
Brothers Seth and Zane are in the big city bar after a successful presentation for their ranch when they are approached by a very young woman offering one of them sex. After hustling More...

First in the Brazen erotic romance series set in Texas. The couple, er, threesome focus is on Jasmine Quinn and Zane and Seth Morgan on the Sweetwater Ranch.
<h2>My Take</h2>
This wasn't very good. It's more as if Banks was going through the motions and forgot that a love story should include a lot more emotion than was here. There were some lovely tense bits with Zane wanting Jaz and Seth thinking that made the two of them a couple and Jaz off-limits to him. Feeling out More...

To sum the story up: This is a story of one woman's campaign to win the hearts of the two men she loves. Jasmine left the Sweetwater Ranch and the Morgan brothers, no longer able to bear the painful dilemma of loving them both. After a year away, in which she gains new perspective, she returns home with one goal- to make Seth and Zane Morgan hers. Jaz may have left an innocent girl, but she's returned a beautiful, sensual woman. Seth and Zane aren't prepared for the full on assault she launches

I was surprised by how much I liked this book, and the main reason was Jasmine. I can see where she would end up being attracted to both guys and how that would throw her. I liked that in order to not hurt either one she was the one to leave.
Her time in Paris was eye opening. How funny it was that she found a friend that had the type of relationship that was just what she wanted and could show her that it could work.

It's not bad, just felt a little short on the emotional entanglement, it was very close though. The story explored all turmoils from Jasmine trying to break free of the image of an abandoned girl to a passionate-independent woman who have always loved Morgan brothers; overcoming her fears and resentments; the brothers accepting her love, coming to term loving and sharing her and facing reality. That said, there were sweet moments, sexy and achingly touching moments. I More...

While i would gladly move to the brother's ranch after reading this book i am not too thrilled with Jasmine. sure sometimes you need to push an twist things to how you'd like them, but this woman is taking manipulation and ultimatums to all new levels. in the end it seemed like no one had any choice or say in the matter other than jasmine. i also found it incredibly amusing that Carmen the nanny / housekeeper / mama bear for all parties in the house was perfectly ok with the girl she sees as

So clearly I have a thing for poly romances. This is my second one from Maya Banks in as many months. I read this in two days and enjoyed most of it. (Only rolled my eyes twice) For me the needy damsel in distress thing is a bit overdone in this one. I would have liked to see Jaz act more like a woman the way she protests to be. All in all, the pace was good and the sex, SUBLIME as usual for Banks. As a writer who mostly prefers a grittier take, this was a delicious piece of cotton candy, j

I enjoyed this story. I was able to really connect with Zane, Seth & Jaz and was emotional by the end. While not my favorite of Ms. Banks' books, I wasn't disappointed.
The one thing I found to be a bit of a clunker in the story was the addition of Jaz's brother. It seemed he was just there to stir up conflict, and after abandoning his sister for so long, I felt a bit cheated that I didn't get to see them work through their relationship. I think if we had seen that, and had more time More...

After a year away Jasmine Quinn decides to return home to the men she loves. Zane and Seth have always protected Jasmine, they found her as a teenage runaway and vowed never to let any harm come to her. When they see Jasmine they realize she has grown up, and Jasmine doesn't want them to see her as her protectors but as the woman she has become.
I loved this book, it was beautifully written and really went to great depths to showcase the fears Seth and Zane were feeling about sharin More...

Before reading this, I knew there were mixed reviews, but being a big fan of Maya Banks, especially her ménage stories, I decided to read it anyway and I’m glad that I did.
Jasmine Quinn was a 16-year-old runaway who propositioned brothers Seth and Zane Morgan in a Houston bar out of desperation and fear of reprisal from a dangerous pimp who threatened her life if she didn’t turn her first trick. Horrified, Seth and Zane rescu More...

I really enjoyed this book a lot...and was surprised that most of the reviews were rather luke warm. I read this in almost one sitting...it was a quick, sexy, easy to read book. Just all around enjoyable.
Brazen is an erotic alternative romance about a committed menage relationship...or at least the building of one. Brothers Seth and Zane Morgan were out of town one day six years earlier when 16 year-old Jasmine Quinn propositioned Seth. It wasn't someth More...

I enjoyed this one. It was unique because it was the female pursuing the two males, and not the other way around which was sort of a breath of fresh air for me. I really liked the main character Jaz even though she was slightly dramatic, but in the end I felt bad for her because all she wanted was for these two men to love her back!
Definitely not a bad book.

it was just so so. I suppose I need a little more realism in the books I read, and there was a lot that just seemed implausible to me in this one. I also thought that the heroine was TSTL at multiple points throughout the story. However, with all that said, the steamy scenes do not disappoint, and the HEA, although predictable, was very cute.

This book was ok but not what I expected it to be. I read better storyline than this one.I also did not like how the author would give a complete physical discription of how the characters in the book looks like. She only gave a small amount of description of the characters. If you want to read the book go ahead but take out the library or read as a used book.

An ok read ... felt like I've read this same plot before. Jasmine returns back home in Texas after a year in Paris ... "home" is with two guys who rescued her from the streets when she was 16.
Now she wants them both as lovers. Lots of angst, just one menage scene.

I really tried to enjoy this book because I love Maya's work. But the heroine, Jasmine drove me crazy with all her whining!! The story was good but I couldn't get past her neediness all the time.
