Now they only have to hope she accepts them for who they truly are to fill a void they've felt for years.

From the moment I read the first chapter I knew this was one of those books that I was going to read in one sitting ignoring everything thing else I needed to get done.
Oh and was I right it felt like I was on a roller-coaster, the whole time i was rwading it was like WAM....POW....Holy shit balls batman omg I never seen that coming. The only real downfall to this book is that I felt it could have been a little longer , or maybe then agian that's just me wistfully wanting to know even more about these amazing characters, and this wonderful world Zana created.
Zana King may be a new writer be she is definitely going places so make sure to keep an eye out for her, and from what I hear she may be making this into a series. keep your fingers crossed.

Zana told me she is hoping to release Evolution by Friday December 12th 2014.
So maybe you could add this to your Christmas wish list to Santa or maybe get it for a friend.

ARC given by author in exchange for honest review

First of all, it a really quick reading, not further than half a day. That said, I enjoy it, but there are some little adjustments to be made, honestly thinking: sometimes writing becomes a not so cohesive, not organic; other, it's like a river flowing, really natural interactions among characters and where you can get lost, in a good way.

Problem solving was too way easy for the bad guy, just saying... and too abrupt as well.

Would I read another book from her? Certainly I would, and not because I feel compromised, but because I want to see her real Evolution, which by the way this title it doesn't do any justice to her book, although I understand it, I don't think is the best one for this one.

In the romance genre I have found a new interest for manege. Zana King has delivered on this interest and so much more! The openmndedness of Jasmine and her men is amazing. The love between them is smoking from the get go and will make you sizzle right along with them. There is just enough drama from the first page to the last to force you to read it all the way through. I have found my interest in this genre growing even more just by reading this new book by an author that is quickly become another favorite of mine!!!! Amazing writing skills and proof that writers LOVE what they do!!!

This is Zana Kings debut novel, and I fricking loved it! It's no secret that I love a good menage. This book is not just a menage but a story. About real things, feelings, and every day life. I felt like I was sucked into the book. The fact that Zane and Kai are wrestlers for the WWA was a nice surprise, cause really not many people write about the entertainment side of wrestling and I enjoyed that. I dove into this book knowing absolutely nothing about it and I was not let down!

Jasmine is your averge everyday girl that just wants to be loved and accepted for who she is, and winds up with a toad. Little does she realize the toad did her a favor the morning he revealed his secrets because later the night she wins the fricking LOTTERY!!
Fast forward one year and she goes to one of Kai and Zane's shows with her best and awesomely gay friend Nick. The chemistry is instanetanious! The only wrinkle in their ointment? The guys have a secret and Jazz has a stalker.
While Jasmine worried about them learning of her millions and if they could accept her for her or for her money, Zane and Kai worried she wouldn't accept them for their secrets? Will all be right in their world?
When they finally learn of her stalker they also learn about her money and Jasmine is pleasantly surprised that they only care that she doesn't have to worry about a roof over her head and food in her belly. But boy do they take charge and step up their game in claiming her.
Jasmine is slightly confused about their intentions and it isn't until she speaks to her best friend Nick and his hubby Robert that things are put into perspective! ;)
When they finally come together it is.... Magical..... Hot....... I had to find my hubby.....

The title for this book is apptly named for a lot of reasons, the evolution of their relationship, the evolution that is Kai and Zane, the evolution of life.... This couple...uh threesome... is amazing, their love is boundless, and their acceptance for each other will wrap you in a warm embrace at night and you can practically feel what they do.
I will definitely be reading more from Zana and look forward to the rest of this series!
Zana, where can I get me a Nick and Robert? Everyone needs these to for best friends!

5 stars from NADBB!!

I was kindly gifted this book in exchange for my honest thoughts and a review.

This is the first book iv ever read by Zana King and not only does she have a kick arse name but she has an amazing writing talent.

In book one of Ternion:

We meet Jasmine she has a cheating douche bag boyfriend who has just moved out and trashed her home, Then her whole life changes and overnight she becomes a millionaire.

Jasmine's life is in a bit of a rut her best friends persuade her she needs some fun, so they attend a wrestling match with her best friend of course. One very amazing evening out has the very potential to send her whole life in to a spin, and leaving her with a choice to make.

Kai and Zane are professional wrestlers who share a very special bond that goes beyond the arena. this is a bond which sent them on a very special mission to find the one woman who will complete them both.

Then they finally spot her in the crowd, and its as if the struggles they have both been going through, and the searching, has finally paid off. Now they have only to hope she can truly accepts them for who they are and to fill a void they have felt for years.

However there is danger lurking and when Jasmine's best friend disappears, she falls apart, leaving her men very reluctant to tell her the truth. this very secret that could chase her away, causing them to lose her forever.

Will Jasmine take the chance with her men and embrace life to the fullest?

Can i say how much i FLOVED this book i love Kai and Zane i was really drawn to them i truly thought they were normal wrestlers then bam Zana hits us with the truth, But in my eyes that makes them even more sexier i no i wouldn't say no to these two men ever.

Zana has a style of writing that draws you in and you will not want to put your book down at all, I no i didnt.

I Have to mention how much i adored Jasmines dogs as well :)

Such a great book full of everything a girl wants Sexy men, Romance , Menage and fighting and of course love concurring everything.

Amazing book cannot wait for the next one.

Great Start to a New Series By A New Author
Jazz is an ordinary accountant until she wins the lottery. Her new life throws up challenges which she meets gladly with the help of her best friend Nick and his husband. But everything changes the night she meets the two amazingly hunky wrestlers, Kai and Zane. She is immediately attracted to them both; they seem to be attracted to her; but before the relationship can proceed they have a secret they need to share with her. But how can they tell her when she’s being stalked and threatened by an unknown caller who wants her money and is prepared to stop at nothing to get it?
Any writer worth their salt knows it’s all about the story, and Ms King certainly delivers on this. Possibly she delivers a little extra, as this seemed to be two stories in one, with the extortion/stalker theme being wrapped up neatly two thirds of the way through the book, leaving Kai and Zane’s secret to take centre stage. I felt the two strands would have benefited from being woven together a little more homogenously.
Every new writer is feeling their way and developing their craft and so this story starts a little clunkily (it gets much better very quickly) and I found some of the pacing a little frustrating. Jazz, Kai and Zane spend a lot of time not having sex, which I would have loved to have seen explored more thoroughly. For instance we are told that Kai and Jazz take a shower together but that nothing happens. Ms King, I really wanted to be in the shower with them experiencing that nothing happening as I’m sure it would have added another layer of tension to their budding relationship.
Having said that, the sex scenes are written with elegance and aplomb. Without revealing any spoilers, the ending was more of a surprise than it needed to be. More hints would have built up the story so that it seems inevitable and the reader has the satisfied feeling “but of course it had to be that way.”
All in all, this is a great start to a new series and I am looking forward immensely to the next story. Please don’t keep us waiting too long!

When I started this book I hadn't looked at the blurb or anything so had very little idea of what it would be like other than a slight content warning from the author. This wasn't one of those stories that take a while to get going, thankfully. As soon as I started reading I found myself more than a little intrigued as to where things would go. From the very beginning Jasmine comes across as a take no nonsense kinda gal, while at the same time is down to earth and just someone you find yourself rooting for. She has this effortless friendship with her bestie who keeps her grounded and who is a brilliant character in their own right. In fact all of the characters are well rounded and thought out. There is so much going on this book that it would be easy to get lost or confused but it is written in such a way that ensures you don't, everything is made clear without being bogged down in description. This book is so much more than you expect with enough twists you need to find out what happens next to the extent that the book was unputdownable. I could go on and on about the different aspects that make this such a great read but would be straying into spoilers territory so in order not to I'll just say give it a try. So long as you aren't easily offended and heed the authors warning in the blurb you can look forward to a great read. I for sure will be keeping an eye out for more from this author in the future.

This book gets you from the beginning. Zana had me with the jerk boyfriend and the strong female character that Jasmine is. I'm a sucker for a gay BFF and Nick did not disappoint!! He is FABULOUS!!!!

Jasmine gets talked into going to a wrestling match with her crazy BFF, they were in need of an outing after on hectic year and why not go see some hot men get sweaty and beat each other up. Heck, I'm even down for that. But.... what she doesn't see coming is KAI and ZANE. THEY WILL CHANGE HER LIFE IN A WAY SHE NEVER EXPECTED!

From the moment her eyes land on Kai she is mesmorized by him. She HAS to meet him!! But how does one even get to meet a world famous wrestler. Then a twist of fate, his eyes land on hers and before she even knows what's happening she's being invited backstage to meet him. But... its not just him, Zane is back there too, and he is just as hot as Kai. HOT MALE OVERLOAD!

The story is one of pure love and protection. The men are in love an they know it the moment they see her. Love at first sight with a twist. This is not a shifter book. The bond that is shared between the three is strong and deep rooted.

The storyline has twists and turns and it keeps you at the edge of your seat. The sex eeek oh so hot! How could it not be with the attraction between the three. Heck, even the gay BFF felt the sexual tension.

Can't wait to see what Zana does with this series next.

I really enjoyed reading Evolution! How do you think your life would change after winning the lottery? Jazz won the lottery and not long after started receiving hate mail and even death threats but Jazz is strong and a take action person, she's not going to take crap from anyone! Her best friend Nick has always been there for her and was there the night she met Kai and Zane, 2 sexy wrestlers that are drawn together by a strong bond. When Kai spots Jazz in the crowd he knows he has found "the one" But life isn't always that simple Will Kai and Zane be able to convince Jazz to join them? Evolution has strong characters, a great and interesting story line, action and humor. Loved it!

Zana King’s debut novel is a home run! This book is full of passion and suspenseful turmoil! King’s unique concept of human evolution is stunning. While this book does feature a ménage couple, King delivers a passionate love story without the internal drama between lovers. There are some surprising twists and turns that I didn’t see coming and that takes a lot for a season reader like myself. I loved that the unexpected twists added a new dynamic to the already intriguing story. Evolution takes a ménage paranormal romance story and evolves it to the next level and dare I say future of the PNR world.

I loved the characters in this book and feel that they are definitely what drive the whole story. I could connect with them on a personal level. Above everything else, I think my favorite was the interplay between Nick and Jazz. I found the writing a bit rough at times, making the book hard to get through at certain points, but it was very much worth it. This is a brilliantly done first book by this author and I look forward to more from her. It is very much my hope to see more of these characters or even see the connections made my her future characters.

I enjoyed the story, when what happened to her best friend Nick my heart felt as Jazz did, you could feel the emotions that Zana has created with these great characters.

I love the way that the feeling unfold between Zane and Kai and that Jazz can sense them.

A must have for anyone that loves ménage and a must buy.

This was a great menage story. The connection between the three characters was electric. The storyline was thrilling, and held just the right amount of mystery. I truly enjoyed reading and I look forward to the next book in this series. I always love when the characters get their HEA, and this was a great ending for all!!
