Thanks Wicked Reads for a free book to read and review.

Tantalizing writing. I'm really not much for M/M love scenes but these are pretty tasteful. Ace finally has to reveal his bisexual nature, and some of the backlash lands on Adam. The couple seem to fight for a bit before settling in and Alicia seems to be on the outside for this part. I didn't like the cliffhanger in this one, or the mystery. We shall see in the next part where the story will go. Overall entertainment was three and a half stars.

"I received this book for free to read and review for Wicked Reads"

The third in the series of novellas, I am now hankering for the happy that I want, but Ms Orman is making us wait it out. The ending is particularly taxing as it adds an extra twist. The dynamics of trios and the fears that the parties imagine are well written.

I hope that the keyboard is being well used chez Orman, as I need my next installment, asap!

As I'm reading on... I feel Ace is more gay than bi. I couldn't help but feel that Alicia felt to me a little like the third wheel.
I felt so bad for Adam in this story. Ace truly crushed him. By freaking out on him.
And Ace... I feel bad for him... But I truly think he needs to stand up for what he believes in.
He can't please everyone.

Adam and Ace have some hot chemistry going on! I just love those two together. Adam is the coolheaded... Calm guy. And Adam is the hotheaded, over reacts first then calms down after kind of guy.
That makes them a perfect couple. I just love how things are unfolding between them.

So far... Up until now... Alicia hasn't really been a big part of Adam's and Ace's relationship. I mean... They keep pursuing her. But I really don't feel anything for her right now. And I think Alicia feels it too. She feels like the third wheel.

I would have hoped things with everyone would have evened out. But it still feels like two are a couple. And one is left hanging.
It also feels like Ace can't seem to focus on two relationship at a time. When he should speak up and express himself... He clams up... Making the other person think the worse. Then he has to do damage control to fix it.

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.

3 1/2 Stars rounded up to 4 Stars.

This is the third installment in the series about Ace, Adam and Alicia. In this installment we see Ace's reaction to the video that has been sent to his friends and others of he and Adam in the woods outside the bar. Adam and Alicia believe that Ace's reaction is due to the fact that he doesn't want others to know he's bi. When Ace explains to Alicia the reasons its hard for him to let others know about his relationship with Adam, she understands but knows that only Ace can fix this problem.

When Ace and Adam try to make amends with Alicia everything seems to be well until Alicia decides that rather than following in with their plans, she should have some say in this new relationship.

I'm ready for the next installment to see where this relationship is headed.

I was fortunate enough to get a sneaky, early peek at this third part to Rachael Orman's In the Moment series. Well, after the first two, I though, nah, they couldn't keep getting hotter, could they?
Well, they do, and I'm sure my poor frail little heart is about to explode from the frantic thumping when reading these books.
It was nice to see Ace become more accepting of who he is, and to stop seeming to worry about the opinions of others. He showed a gentler side, and I liked it.
I think though for me, that Adam's my favourite. He's such a sweetheart and I'm telling you, if the man was real, I'd grab him for myself, thank you very much.
The sex was hot enough to have me fanning myself frantically. I tell you, if you like some heat in a book, then Rachael sure knows how to deliver on that score.
Alicia made a decision that at first had me going, WTF? But then I thought about it and realised I could understand how she feels.
The ending of this part had me twisting my hands nervously and now I'm eagerly awaiting part four in the series.

Things start to heat up as the video of Ace and Adam is seen by a few key players in Ace's life. His has to decide now if keeping the fact that he's Bi a secret is worth losing Adam forever.

There's a bit less sex in this episode, but don't worry, the scenes there are, are a bit more steamy than in the last two episodes. Adam discovers a taste of his dominant side and it's kind of hot really! There's a bit more action in this episode as well as the storyline moves along. This episode seemed to focus more on the storyline than the erotica aspect which was pleasant turn for me.

This episode does have a cliffhanger that will leave the reader itching for part 4 to release. I know I can't wait for it.

I give this book 5 of 5 paws.

Ace, Adam and Alicia are back. So in this installment the story takes over the sex. I felt it was more about the video and how they reacted to it being seeing. It was written well but leaves you with a twist from Alicia at the end. Love how Rachael just keeps you wondering on something new each time.

Once again the characters were fantastic. This time it's Alicia turn to figure out what she wants. Can't wait for the next one to come ou

No surprise Part three is the next few chapters ending with yet another cliffhanger. Ace seems to work out his issues but now Alicia is having her own mental hang ups before the relationship can move on. So on we wait for Part four to see what happens next.

This one kind of let me down. I'm into this threesome but didn't like Ace's reaction to things... and then he just lets it all go? I do like that they are getting back on track to being the 3 of them again, and maybe in a more serious way than just a hook up.

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.

When I first opened In the Moment Part Three, I couldn’t quite remember what had transpired at the end of the previous installment. However, within a page or two, it all came flying back – the sex, the video, the hot sex, the argument, and did I mention the HOT SEX! Considering Ace’s response to the long list of the video’s recipients, it’s not surprising that I was the only one in this situation thinking about the sex. Needless to say, Adam was not happy with Ace’s reaction to the video, surmising that Ace’s anger over it getting out meant that Ace would never be comfortable taking their relationship public. As Adam lives his life openly as a bisexual man, he refuses to hide who he is for anyone, especially the man he is in love with.

I loved watching Adam stand up for himself and how he let Ace know in no uncertain terms that he would not be anyone’s dirty little secret. While witnessing the demise of their relationship was sad, Alicia giving Ace a much needed kick in the arse re-instilled hope for Adam and Ace’s future. Much of this installment is Ace coming to terms with his past, what he wants for his future, and whether or not a relationship with Adam is possible, assuming that Adam will even give him another chance. Being as this is part three of five, I was not surprised that Adam gave Ace another chance and Ms. Orman rewarded readers with a fabulous bout of makeup sex between these two testosterone-fueled men. Bossy Adam is sexy! What did surprise me was Alicia’s reaction to Adam and Ace, but what really threw me for a loop was the freaking cliff that the author left me hanging from. Yes, In the Moment Part Three actually left me frustrated because I don’t know what’s coming next. And while I will probably be able to get In the Moment Part Four a few days early, I want it NOW!!! Well done Ms. Orman, that’s exactly how a serial is supposed to work – but please, for the love of all that is holy, please stick to your release schedule and don’t disappear on us before the end arrives (sadly, I have had that happen).

FiveStarsLoved this installation! I felt that it made the relationship between Ace and Adam more real. I liked that despite the reservations that Ace had about coming out to his gang, that it was not this long, drawn out issue. It was dealt with and then it was over.Also, I really liked how you got to see real emotions between Ace and Adam. So often those are not discussed – especially in a ménage relationship.This one was a little worse, as far as the editing went, so I would suggest going back through it, but I can’t wait until the next installment – it’s getting great with the cliff hangers!

Oh the angst! With Ace involuntarily outed to his biker gang, Adam, Alicia and Ace are plagued with doubts. Instead of the solid threesome we saw in part two, there are pairs and loners in part three.

Even within a strained relationship, the sex is still hot. Orman introduces a vibrating butt plug, phone sex and ever more inventive positions in this installment.

A much more emotionally tumultuous ride than part two, part three is once again a short, hot read. I’m hoping part four brings the characters back together, but I have a sneaking suspicion it won’t be quite so easy.

In part 3 it is time to face the aftermath of the night before. Will the video showing Adam and Ace get him thrown out of his club and losing his job?
Ace is faced with the reality of a situation he would have preferred to keep quiet. He is not ashamed of the relationship he shares with Adam, however, he has experienced bullying and brutality as a result of his choices previously and does not want to open himself up to negativity. He isn't able to voice this to either Adam or Alicia and ends up looking ashamed and disgusted with himself.
After a surprising bit of news from his biker president and some not so surprising news from his job site, he sets about trying to make things right with Adam. Meanwhile Alicia is not sure what she wants and if it has both men in the equation.
Things take another interesting turn as Alicia's house is broken into, and she realises who the perpetrator is.
This is another smoking hot installment - but this time the book actually deals with emotions that are experienced by the three. I think we always knew that Adam was by far the most intouch with himself and thus things didn't affect him as they did the others, but I loved how he took charge and stood firm for himself and his sexuality.
Ace is of course his usual asshole self - the man we all cannot stand but want to get in our pants anyway. This book definitely shows the softer side of him and it is wonderful to watch him fighting for the things that he wants in his life - irrespective of what others may think.
Alicia almost feels like an outcast in this book - and I suppose that is the fine line that you cross in the dynamics of a menage, finding if or how you fit in.
Another SUPER SEXY 4 star read from me! I am loving this series and I cannot get my hands on them fast enough.

In part 3, the morning after and hell breaks out.

Ace is ashamed of his relationship with Adam as it is posted online in a video. He cannot face either Adam nor Alicia as he stomps out of Alicia’s place but realizes he needs on of them to drop him back at the bar for his bike. He returns inside but manages to piss of Adam who ends up leaving instead.

As Ace and Adam try to figure out what they want with each other and finding a way to solve things with each other. Meanwhile Alicia is not sure what she wants and if it has both men in the equation.

Things take another a turn as someone breaks into Alicia’s place and Adam arrives inattention as he comforts her, What will happen to these three who find themselves needing each other as we watch their dynamics play out as they all share feelings for each other?

Until the next installment as we watch them grow.

OK so here we go !! The video is out , the guys know , some care some don't...
Ace needs to make a decision and fast , Alicia is not happy with him and neither is Adam. Of course once Ace comes to his senses it is a heartwarming scene with Adam !! Of course there is still some steam but you get more story in the part. I am loving these 3 together and I am so hoping it can workout. I really really hope so !! A slight cliffhanger and I was left hanging , but now I can dive into part 4 !! WTH is going on with Alicia , a past what do you mean , who can it be OMG !! This part stepped it up a notch for me and I am so happy the author has trusted me with her work because I really enjoy her and all she writes !!

Ace freaks out after receiving the video of Adam and him. After storming out he finally realizes he has to come to terms with who is and the relationship between him and Adam are no one else's business but his own. At times they seemed like they are pushing Alicia to the side. But all three of them being new to the relationship, they have to work the kinks out.

Loving the interaction between characters. M/M sex isn't something I normally read but I am enjoying it in this series. Add Alicia to the mix and the sex is down right steamy. Another cliffhanger at the end. Something new thrown into the mix.

This serial novella keeps getting better and better. Part 3 brings us the connection between Ace and Adam. It really cements their connection, so they can really go after Alicia. I thought that Ms. Orman was going to make it where it was just them two, but like always when you think she is going one way it goes the other way. That is one of the reason she is one of my favorite authors. She always keeps it exciting and on the edge of your seat. If you haven't picked up this series you are missing out! Ace, Alicia, and Adam do not disappoint!

Adam is raging when he discovers what is in the text Adam received. Adam slams him with the truth about his feelings. Ace has a decision to make. Will he let Adam go or will he face his sexuality and be open about his feelings? I will just say the make up sex had me lowering the AC temperature. They proposition Alicia, but Alicia needs time to think before she jumps in again. Someone comes to visit Alicia. Who will it be and what will it mean to this triangle?

This little nugget continues the budding relationship between Ace, Alicia and Adam...
In the last installment... all poo hits the fan when a video is leaked of a rather intimate and public display of some serious naughty PDA with "peans" and the big O.. that it rocks Ace to his core.

He has some serious growing up to do with accepting his true life, publicly. And of course there is some serious damage control with Alicia and Adam as we all know Ace isn't the most open and talkative...

Short story, Continues where book two ended. Ace is confronted with his fear of everybody knowing that he likes having sex with the same gender. Adam is the very cool and down to earth guy who keeps it rational. Ace has a really short fuse, and is totally an asshole. In this book you will also get to find out if the three of them will get back together or not.
