Is it wrong to be this Ravenous?

When Jennifer Finn was good, she was very good, and when she was bad…she got arrested for assault and indecent exposure. Now Jen’s back in school and determined to find her balance. But one man seems just as determined to destroy her equilibrium, and he knows all the right buttons to push.

What began as a favor for an old friend became something more the instant Trick Dunham laid eyes on Jen. Now he can’t resist inserting himself into her life, despite warnings from her family. Little Finn might be struggling to find her path but Trick knows exactly where she belongs. What she needs. He just has to get her and their third to agree.

Professor Declan Kelley has a weakness for his old lover, Trick. The bad boy ex-con has become a wickedly sensual man who comes whenever he pleases, but never stays. When he shows up again it’s to offer Declan one of his darkest desires to date—Jennifer Finn and Trick together on a three-way platter. But that would threaten the safe, uncomplicated life he’s built for himself, and Declan’s not doing that for anything.

Unless it’s forever…

Warning:  This book is a Jenga tower of sin. Explicit, graphic, shocking, teetering-on-the-edge-of-unbalanced, unapologetic sin. M/m, m/f, f watching m/m together and liking it so much that m grabs f and makes her a part of the dirtiest m/m/f ménage in history. That’s right, I said it. Role play—the hot-for-teacher kind, the sexy-thief-in-the-night kind AND…well sometimes you just have to ignore the warnings and dive right in.

 

It is not easy being the only girl in a family of big bad men, just ask Jennifer or as she is lovingly called, Little Finn. Ravenous by R.G. Alexander is Jen’s story. This is the fourth story in the Finn Factor and it is another winner.

One of the things I love about this series is the variety of loving couples R.G. Alexander has and is giving us. We have had some great mm and a mf but Ravenous takes us in another direction one society has not yet considered accepting, polyamorous or ménage is the term used more frequently. This is not the only taboo in this story either *grins* There is one more and I will bet I am not the only one who has had a fantasy or two about it.

I enjoyed the fact that Jen is now just coming in to her own. She is in her mid-twenties and after making a few mistakes she is now getting her life on track, professionally and personally. Now if only the rest of the family will accept it, life would be good. Unfortunately this is where a lot of us can identify with Jen. Everyone has dreams and hopes for her and feel the need to protect her and help guide her. Boy are they in for a surprise, or two.

I also love the family participation of this story. Even though each story has their own Finn for a main character and focuses on them, we get to see and learn more about the rest of the family as well. With a family the size of the Finns there are a lot of closets and as we are finding out each closet has its own skeleton. WOW! In Ravenous more than one closet has opened and the skeletons in those closets are going to cause Little Finn a whole bunch of trouble. It seems the past is repeating its self. If only High School History class was this exciting I would have done better *wink*

Now the good and the bad wrap up. I have not mentioned our sexy leading men Trick and Declan, like Jennifer you have to experience them all on your own. This story really needed to be extended. There was a big gap in time at the beginning and it would have been great to see what was happening. I also would have loved to see more about Trick and Declan’s past. Speaking of the past, the history lesson we get on the Finn Family will knock your socks off!!

So get comfy and enjoy Ravenous by R.G. Alexander. You may also want to keep an eye on her because in December we should be getting Finn Again, a Christmas anthology, with A Curious Wedding: An Owen and Jeremy quickie.
