Three short MMMM+ time traveling themed romance stories!
SHARED BY THE VIKINGS
Dave Swanson would never have considered himself as a lucky man. But a chance find on his first day as a metal detectorist sends him on a trajectory he could never have imagined in his wildest dreams.
His choice is simple. He can either go back to his own time, or he can accept the first stroke of luck fate has ever dealt him.
SHARED BY THE GLADIATORS
Zane is finally checking off the number one item at the top of his bucket to visit the Colosseum. And when a ridiculously handsome tour guide dressed like a gladiator offers him a private tour, he certainly can’t refuse. Especially not after the gladiator stirs unfamiliar, but very welcome, feelings.
And when the gladiator offers to introduce Zane to his friends, Zane realizes that all his new fantasies might just become a reality.
SHARED BY THE KNIGHTS
Twelve knights. One vessel. All of them aching to fill him.
Gareth didn't expect much from a budget Holy Grail tour—especially not to fall into a crypt, awaken a group of ridiculously hot knights, and be named their sacred vessel. Now, faced with the choice to leave or be worshipped, Gareth finds himself aching to stay… and to be filled.
No rating –ARC DNF, which I don't really like to do, but this was just not my style of erotica.
Three short erotica stories adding up to 109 pages. Vikings, Gladiators, and Knights, with some portal hopping madness. Definitely not to be taken seriously. I have read this author's snowman erotica (Caught by Jack Frost) and found it amusing and easier to handle, probably because it was under 20 pages.
I did have a couple laughs at some of the absurd stuff:
With my savings quickly dwindling, no job offers despite the many interviews I’d attended, and my empty, studio apartment all that was waiting for me when I got home, I decided to take up a hobby that would help me interact with people, and one which had the slightest chance of hitting gold. Metal detecting.
Could this golden cock really be an ancient find?
“You... speak English?” I asked. I felt my cheeks flush. What a ridiculously stupid question to ask the insanely handsome Viking who had just caught me jerking off as I watched two of his men fucking a bound man into ecstasy. The Viking rumbled a low, amused laugh. “Our bracelets bring men to us from all walks of life, from all times. Yes, I know your English.” “But... why? Why do you need magic cock bracelets?”
Didn't work for me, but you may enjoy it if you're into humorous straight guys first times with Vikings, Gladiators, and Knights. Cum-dumpster sharing style!
Taylor Wolfe’s brand of erotic time travel is gloriously unhinged—in the best possible way. Each of these stories features a man stumbling through space-time and right into the arms (and laps) of aggressively dominant, affectionate, and magically endowed men from history.
Do the stories rely on certain tropes to pull in the “straight guy turned slutty bottom” audience? Yeah. Are they hot as hell and surprisingly tender? Also yes.
Here’s the breakdown:
Shared by the Vikings
Dave Swanson, American in England, is fresh off a breakup and staring down possible unemployment. So obviously… metal detecting.
The golden bracelet he digs up is no ordinary find. It’s a *sæd sorðinn*—a glowing artifact that calls out to men who would make the perfect sacred, willing vessel for an entire village of gay Viking tops.
Dave time-slips into a world where his only job is to be ravished and revered by men who speak to him like this: “You will be treated like a king, if you can fuck like a slave.”
Wolfe’s creativity is on full display here—custom lore, cultural magic, sexy language (in more ways than one). The descriptive detail is rich, the action hot, and the tone perfectly balanced between cheeky and euphoric.
Dave chooses pleasure. And honestly? He earns it.
Shared by the Gladiators
Zane is in Rome on a work trip, finally visiting the Colosseum he’s obsessed over since childhood. A private tour with a gorgeous gladiator leads to unexpected feelings—and full gay awakening.
The gladiator, Ferox, is patient and affectionate—until it’s time to introduce Zane to the other warriors of the magnus. (Because of course, there’s a whole secret order of magical, time-warped gladiators with special collars, partners, and plans for Zane.)
Yes, it’s insta-love. But it’s also charming. And the sex? A lovely mix of lush detail and supernatural fun.
“There’s nowhere I’d rather be.”
Shared by the Knights
Gareth Black is bored of his desk job, bored of his ex, and very much not straight. He heads to England for a budget Holy Grail tour—because of course—and falls through a crypt into the arms of twelve awakened, aching Knights Templar.
This one leans more mythic. The sapphire ring. The spinning table. The truth about the Grail—and Gareth’s role in all of it.
There’s worship, instruction, variety, and deliciously written action sequences. Gareth is treated with reverence, even in his most submissive moments. The language is rich, and the story surprisingly wholesome by the end.
“You are ours now, little vessel. Ours to worship. Ours to cherish. Always.”
**Final verdict:** Campy? Yes. Over-the-top? Obviously. But also joyful, inventive, and full of heart.
Taylor Wolfe isn’t just writing sexually-explicit content—she’s building mini-mythologies that combine fantasy, kink, and self-acceptance into something way more moving than it has any right to be.
This is a collection of 3 deliciously smutty MM+ short reads. You could call them romances though as there is an element of connection and belonging in each between 2 of the males, as well as a group dynamic in play. Each documents a modern man who has tried to live what I suppose could be considered a traditional life and is finding himself unfulfilled, lost. Most have not exactly determined that they are gay until they are transported back in time (to the Viking era, Gladiator era and Knights of the Round Table era respectively)by a magical artifact, and find themselves witnessing MMM+ pleasure and finding their place. Each of the modern men are worshiped and treasured by all, but also find a special connection with one man.
Shared by the Vikings
This one was a deliciously filthy smutty short MMM+… read🥰🤗 but also with an undercurrent of found family, finding one’s place, one’s people, in time and space.
Shared by the Gladiators
This one is quite sweet, there is a main couple, a gladiator of old who has been freed and his new companion (“little one”🥰) that he has to himself most of the time but shared with the other gladiators sometimes too. The way Taylor portrayed the freed gladiator asking the younger man from the future if he would ‘choose’ to stay with him, a man until recently had nothing of his own, nothing to his to give, and the sweetness and closeness they share after was very touching.
Shared by the Knights
This one was slightly different in that when the modern young man is transported, he enters into the Knights pleasuring each other… And denying each other… for they are waiting for the vessel… And he will be thoroughly emptied… so he can be filled to overflowing…

Straights Get Shared Bundle by Taylor Wolf is a series of 3 very short stories involving supposedly straight men who are down on their luck and find magic talismans that transport them back in time to places they have always wondered about and to other men who use them in delightful ways. In each case they are given the chance to return to their own times but they like what they see and decide to stay where they are, whether it is with the Vikings, gladiators in the Colosseum in Rome, or with the Templar Knights. They are treated with reverence and kindness even as their needs are met over and over again. Since they have never been with men before this adds to the excitement level where everyone ends up very satisfied. I recommend this book, especially if you are looking for stories that are 90% hot and steamy love scenes and 10% story line that involve many men greatly enjoying themselves in different ways.
I read both Shared by the Vikings and Shared by the Gladiators previously (see reviews) and loved them both. I was super excited to see the third one - Shared by the Knights - and that all three were in a collection together - so convenient! I absolutely love steamy, spicy smut like this and to have them all be quasi-historical fantasy was an added bonus (since medieval lit is my jam). Now was this authentic? Well...hahaha, who cares?! I went into these for fun and spicy MMM+ reads and that's exactly what I got! Best, the central MC gets to be deliriously happy at the end - what could anyone else wish for? In each of them, there's a caretaking leader MC and I loved all three of them - swoon! So yes, these stories are perfect for when you want something that burns super hot but is a quick read. Can't wait for the Regency series coming up!
This is a collection for shorter length stories including shared by the Viking, Gladiators and Knights. All 3 are smoking hot throughout and have slight variations in how the characters stumble upon these different areas of the past. They aren't traditional romances, it's erotica but they do all end with a different version of a HEA, just not one monogamous couple (as I'm sure the title suggests). My favourite of the 3 was the gladiators because I just really felt more connected to the characters - I liked the idea that there was a HEA away from the arena with two MCs but still all the chemistry when they return back there too. Lots to enjoy and they're all well-written.
This 18+ bundle of three short time-travel erotica stories—Shared by the Vikings, Shared by the Gladiators, and Shared by the Knights—delivers exactly what it promises: lots of steamy MMMM+ action with minimal plot. It’s a naughty, fun, unapologetically filthy read that’s perfect when you’re in the mood for pure erotica. Each story features intense, consensual encounters and explores themes of sexual fluidity and bi awakenings in a sex-positive way. If you enjoy bold, explicit content with a touch of fantasy, this collection is well worth checking out.
I've never read this kind of hot erotic fiction before, so I blush when I say this stuff is really quite graphic. This book is well written with fast sex, penetration, and lots of 'explosive' scenes and is about as gay as it gets. The three scenarios are perfect settings for the fantasies and the author takes you there in all its sweaty detail. If you're not looking for character development but something absolutely filthy to read, then this book is for you. It certainly ticks a box.

The scenarios are multiple partner and steamy with minimal intro or scene setting, but reading all three stories together was a bit too much. Better in small doses. Of the three stories, the one with the knights was one one I liked best. Imaginative to connect these bashes to different time periods with a modern guy accidentally stepping into the past and eager to explore anything his historical partners suggest.
I read a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest opinion.
Hot, spicy, and steamy. This bundle of books has it all. Wrapped up in 3 short reads that will literally leave you gasping. Please read the authors note on what to expect, but if you're okay with that, then full steam ahead. Be prepare for some MMMM+, free-use, historical moments. Definitely recommend reading this one, or each book individually.

Straights Get Shared: A MMMM+ Time Traveling Short Story Bundle which contains three stories. SHARED BY THE VIKINGS, SHARED BY THE GLADIATORS, and SHARED BY THE KNIGHTS. I love having books in collections like this especially when each story is short. This is just a fun bit of erotica with three unique stories. I really enjoyed the book. I would definitely recommend this book.
This is a complete series in one book. It has three very good books in it. They are all short exotic reads with very little plot. Each of the guys do not realize that they are bi until something happens to them. They then time travel to a previous century. They truly enjoy themselves when they get to where they are going.
So this a compilation of 3 short shorties, very spicy and historically set. The main plots are similar but with just enough differences in the main characters and setting to make them each unique. If you are looking for a short smutty read then this will be your jam!

Wow to be the chosen ones of ancient communities is such an honor. The way Taylor writes these stories are phenomenal. They are short and hot and filled with the best parts of being shared. Vikings, Gladiators and Knights, oh my! You get worshipped and cherished while being fully debauched in all the right ways. I love every minute of these stories.
I found this book hard to put down. It is sexy and erotic. It also shows even in the intense sexual situations that consent is what’s most important. It also shows sexual fluidity, how anyone can have a bi awakening at anytime. It even has a little romance to boot I totally recommend this book
This book is a series of short novellas. If you like the topic, the stories do carry some steam. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Three separate men have three separate encounters. With a magical talisman they're sent back in time. All are straight and find themselves the object of lust from Vikings, gladiators and knights.
