Men in Blue #6
Bound For You
Ben has lived through hell. He only survived captivity and torture by the brutes who'd been attempting to develop Sex Offender, a potent aphrodisiac used as a date rape drug, because of the guy he met--and fell in lust with--in the drug lord's dungeons.
Ryan became Ben's roommate after they escaped. His nearness is constantly tempting Ben to force Ryan to submit to his dark desires. Disgusted by how similar that makes him to their captors, he's managed to hold off so far. How long can he keep his cravings for Ryan's sexy body at bay?
On top of that, they both seem to be falling for the same woman. If Ben has reservations about unleashing his sexual appetites on Ryan then that goes double for Shari, who is entirely too sweet and inexperienced for either of them. Or so Ben thinks.
When Shari teams up with Ryan to change Ben's mind, it seems like Ben might consider turning their three-way fling into something serious. Until a threat to Ben's niece reminds them that it's not always possible to keep those you love safe. After losing his sister in the Sex Offender scandal, Ben might never be ready to take that risk again.
None of them could have realized they were bound for something greater than a traditional partner in life, but Shari and Ryan are sure the three of them will benefit from the love of not one, but two, strong, giving soul mates who can help them leave the darkness of their past behind.
Will they be able to convince Ben that living fully is better than living cautiously?

I have loved each book in this series and this was certainly no exception! This is such an emotional story that captures your heart from the first page and well after the book has ended. These characters have each lived through their own hell and even though they made it out, they're all still tortured by their pasts in various ways. After what Ryan and Ben went through, they have a deep bond with one another that one is willing to do anything to keep and the other is doing everything he can to let the other go, even if it's the last thing he truly wants. They've both fallen for Shari but neither has or will do anything about their feelings for her, especially since they can't seem to fix the mess between themselves. Shari is a sweet, caring, and beautiful woman who cares deeply for both men but due to her inexperience with both men and people in general, she waits hoping that one or both will finally see her and act on the explosive chemistry she believes they have. Will they be able to finally let go of the past to see what the future truly holds? With the help of their family and friends, the Men In Blue, will they finally find a way to one another or will tragedy strike again tearing apart their already fragile hold?
Jayne Rylon has been one of my favorite authors since I read my first book by her. I love the way her stories make you feel as though you're right there experiencing everything with all the characters you've come to love. Her stories are always entertaining, the depth and uniqueness of her plots never ceases to amaze me, I have never met any of her characters that I didn't like (except the bad one's of course) and end up falling in love with, the banter between them all is so hilarious you'll find yourself laughing out loud at their games and antics, even with so many characters and things going on the stories always flow smooth and are easy to keep up with, and although all of her books have some of the most steamy, hottest, taboo sexual encounters I've ever read, these books are about so much more than that. Jayne Rylon is a truly exceptional author and has amazing talents bringing her stories to life.
If you haven't read the entire Men In Blue series, I strongly suggest you do. These are all stand alone books and can be read as such. However, when read together, you will get so much more out of each one. I hope you love this book &/or series as much as I have.
I definitely recommend Bound For You to anyone who loves a wonderful romance with alot of spice.
I was gifted an arc of this book by the author for a honest review.

The Men in Blue series features standalone romances in each book, coupled with a story arc that continues from one book to the next. If you're a stickler for reading series in order, you'd probably want to start with book 1 as the main characters from other stories appear as secondary characters here, and there are obviously spoilers for some of the action that's occurred up to now. Otherwise, the author does a good job in each story of bringing the reader up to speed with the story arc so that you can jump into the series anytime.
I enjoyed this story, featuring Shari, Ben and Ryan. Ben and Ryan both were prisoners in a sex slavery ring, and escaped with their lives, unlike some less fortunate including Ben's sister April, the reason Ben ended up there in the first place when he was trying to track her down. He's now got custody of his niece Julie, and is determined to put the nightmare behind him. But it means turning off his feelings for Ryan with whom he bonded while in captivity, and that's something he's finding isn't so easy to do. Ben and Ryan's friend Shari is in the mix two - In fact all three of them have feelings for each other, though Shari despairs of Ben ever being able to admit to it. It's Ryan who breaks first though, realizing that if he doesn't do something to shake the status quo, he's going to end up miserable and alone. Leaving the safety of Ben's home where he's been his roommate since their rescue is hard, but it turns out to be the right thing to do to shake Ben up and make him realize that he's going to lose out on not just one, but two people who care about him.
The story has some dark moments as their time in captivity weighs on Ben's mind, but some lighthearted ones as well. There are twosome and threesome scenes as Ben comes to accept what Shari and Ryan are offering him - a chance to be intimate with a couple who understand his desires and don't shame him for them. Similarly, Ryan, a submissive, finally gets Ben and Shari to understand what he needs. The sex scenes are super hot (naturally!) but there are tender moments too as the three of them come to terms with their strong feelings for each other. There is a suspenseful subplot involving Ben's niece Julie that revs up the latter part of the story. We get some cameo appearances from other characters in the series, and a great happy ending (finally!) for the threesome. 4 stars.

Ben and Ryan have lived through hell and have an incredible bond after surviving captivity and torture. Now free, they share an apartment, where they both harbor feelings they're too afraid to act on. Ryan is painfully in love with Ben, but Ben doesn't know if he is strong enough to cross his own boundaries, even for the friend who saved his soul. On top of that, they both have a strong attraction to the same woman, Shari.
Right out of the gates this is a HOT book! I expected nothing less but the first chapter was layers of steam that I haven't really experienced in a book before. I could definitely use a bit more of that! Right away you get into Ryan's head to understand how he feels about Ben and why he feels the way he does. I do wish we had something more equal to this for Ben's perspective, there are glimpses, but not to the same -- enjoyable and enlightening -- depth.
One of the things I love about this series is the crime-element to the back story that brings everyone together. It's more than just a romance story about 2(... or 3... or more...) people: It's a drama that hits you right in the feels, it's a comedy that has you snorting out loud, and it can be both intensely erotic and tooth-achingly sweet. Each book in the series has been a mental roller-coaster that keeps you engaged, guessing, waiting, and Bound for You is no different.
This is book 6 of the Men in Blue series, and while it is a continuation of some of the characters and the overall events that joined them together, it can absolutely be read as a stand-alone. However, as with many of Jayne Rylon's books, be prepared for a lot of players! You'll have an easier time remembering who's who if you've read other books in the series... and if not, well you may have to read this book more than once just to make sure you've got it all straight, and then maybe one more time just to make sure you didn't miss anything, and then maybe one more time just for fun... and then... you get the picture.

I was highly anticipating the release of this book, and as always, I was not disappointed at all. This author just captures the essence of each character brilliantly. Ben, Ryan and Shari have their hurdles, trying to find that balance and get everyone on the same page was a struggle. Ben was the stubborn one, and being the alpha in the trio, he just took a bit longer to get up to speed. Ryan was the one that turned me to mush. He had that infectious personality that you cannot help but adore. Shari was the breath of fresh air that the boys needed. Together, they make a very interesting and extremely exciting trio. Some of the love scenes were so descriptive, I felt like a bit of a voyeur, as if I was standing in the room with them. Oh boy, my raunchy little heart about jumped right out of my chest. I loved reading about their sometimes troubled trip to the HEA, and blessed with the chance to escape into their world for a bit and experience all the emotions that are so addicting and make me keep turning those pages.

Started this book before bed, didn't make it there until 1:30 am when I was finally finished. Just couldn't put it down. Bound for You (Men in Blue #6) is a true stand alone story within a series. It does involve characters from , and yes, references things that happened in the series prior but not knowing these things does not take away from any enjoyment, the book will still completely make sense. I personally have skipped around in this series and still had no problem with this book. I fell for every character, especially Julie, the nine year old niece. You just can't help but want to hug them all, but at the same time, kick the adults asses for some of the things they do. What you ask? You will have to read the book to find out on your own. I will leave you with this, one of my favorite quotes from the book: "he spun around and gave the apartment a double one-fingered salute . . Hey, Aunt Shari, why is Uncle Ben making unicorn puppets?"

“Received this ARC free for an honest review. Oh the story that fuels my fantasy! I swear Jayne was in tuned to my fantasy with this trio. This story read like the other books in this series. Lots of action, romance, suspense and eroticism. Ryan, Ben and Shari will have you wanting to laugh, cheer, and beat them senseless-- but stay the course and you’ll love the landing of this turbulent flight. My stomach bottomed out a few times, I felt like I was on a roller coaster as well. You won’t be disappointed with this story. I can’t wait for the next book! "

Jayne Rylon brings it all in Bound For You. This sweet and sexy ménage will have you running the full scale of emotions. You will laugh and cry you will get angry and you will sigh. These characters have been through hell and the author puts them through just a bit more so they can get to their hea but I swear there were times I didn’t think any of us were going to make it. A fantastic addition to the series.

This is one of those sexy, gut wrenching, suspenseful stories that will knock you for a loop. The raw emotion and passion filled chemistry pours off every page.
Prepare yourself for a fantastic M/M/F journey!

5 Star Review Wounded Hearts by Jayne Rylon
This series is one of my all-time favourites. Every book in this series I have thoroughly loved. Each one seems to get better and better and this is no exception.
Bound For You is book 6 in the Men in Blue series. Although this can be read as a standalone, I would suggest if you haven't read the previous books you do so as there are references back to previous books and events.
This is the story of Ben, Ryan and Shari. Ben and Ryan were both nearly broken and their souls almost destroyed. Shari, too has suffered with the loss of her last remaining family member. Ryan is determined to move forward but his unrequited love and passion for Ben may well destroy him.
Shari has wanted these two since she first met them but they are seemingly unaware of her feelings. Or are they? Ben has buried his feelings, feeling guilty that he couldn’t save his sister and is now responsible for raising his niece. Ben doesn’t believe that he deserves happiness.
I felt so many different emotions when I was reading this book. My heart absolutely broke for what Ben and Ryan went through, but they survived along with Ben’s niece. Their bond is soul deep, but whereas Ryan knows he loves Ben, Ben cannot admit and is almost ashamed of their past and the feelings that Ryan evokes in him. Shari is in lust and love with both the men; they both want her and yet will not make a move. What is stopping them?
I cheered the courage shown by Ryan and Shari when they finally decided to follow their hearts and pursue their mutual attraction. Yet they both know that Ben is their third, their soulmate. Can they convince Ben to share his feelings and concerns and take a chance on their love?
The chemistry between Ben, Ryan and Shari is scorching; add in that Ryan is a natural submissive (to Ben and potentially Shari) and this just added to what was a gripping story. The flames almost jump off the page as you read. It was heart-warming to watch their love grow throughout this book.
I can't remember when I cheered so hard for all three of them to get together and realise that they are meant to be and that what they have is a once in a lifetime chance for happiness.
Bound For You is another fantastic addition to what is one of my all-time favourite series.
Well done Jayne Rylon you have another winner on your hands. I cannot wait for the next book in the series.
I highly recommend this book and wonderfully talented author. Take a chance if you haven't yet read this series, you won't be disappointed.

Since I discovered Jayne Rylon's books several years ago, she has become a must read author for me. Her newest book in the Men in Blue series Bound For You was so good. I have been waiting for Ben, Shari and Ryan to finally have their story told.
This book is full of steamy sex, suspense and family. The thing I love about this series is the core of the book is about family. Not just family you are born into but the family you chose. The men in blue, their significant others and friends they have met along the way in this series have formed their own family unit. Ben, Shari and Ryan have to figure out if they can overcome their pasts to make their relationship work and raise Ben's niece together as a family. It is not an easy road to their HEA.
The love scenes in this book were beyond hot. Jayne Rylon is one of the few authors who can make a menage scene work so well and you can actually visualize it. The dialogue was also really good. There are so many memorable lines that are classic Rylon.
This is book 6 in the series and in my opinion you need to read they whole series in order to truly love this book and the characters in it since they all appear throughout the series.

I have read one other of these, I think. Mostly, I take them as they are and kind of rate them accordingly, I would honestly love it if they were a bit longer if we could get a little more depth. The sex scenes are great, but I want a little more depth of character. I felt that their discussing their relationship while waiting to see what had happened to Julie was a little...off. However, I liked that there was tension between Ben and Ryan-they honestly would have been strong enough to carry this story without Shari. I understood her insecurities and she was likable. Wish we got a little more of Ben, just his perspective or maybe an extra scene with just him and Ryan, I think their dynamic was the most interesting.
March 23, 2016
First, I admit that I'm behind in reading this series. And while Bound For You can be read as a standalone, I think I would have gotten even more enjoyment had I been caught up and knew some of the history behind Ryan and Ben that was referenced.
That aside, Jayne Rylon didn't disappoint in giving us a story that is passionate, HOT, emotional, and well written.
Highly recommended and must read for fans of menage romance.

Great book...many twists and turns that I totally was not expecting. If you want something to keep you involved and waiting to see what happens next, this is the book for you. Can tell it is part of a series, but still a good standalone book. Very well written.
ARC copy for honest review.

man that one was rough but a great ending to a fun series and i cant wait to read the next spin off. Ben, Ryan, and Shari were perfectly matched in their sexiness sweetness and loving natures.
March 29, 2016
Oh, my god, cue fangirl squee!! Yet another awesome installment of Men in Blue. First off, I must tell you I have an obsession when it comes to Jayne Rylon and her books (Um, I prefer super fan, stalker has such negative connotations). Her very sexy heroes are good looking, kind, tough, protective, and sweet. All of them, Men in Blue, the Powertools crew, the Hot Rods, Compass Brothers, etc., are total woobies. Her heroines are all strong women in their own way, extremely likable, caring, and somewhat filterless. The worlds Ms. Rylon creates, although the stuff of fantasies and dreams, are so believable you get lost in them and never want to leave.
I love how Ms. Rylon carries on with the aftereffects of the Sex Offender case and how those involved weren’t “magically cured” when the case was closed. Ben and Ryan went through hell in The Dungeon, while trying to save their sisters and Ben’s niece Julie. They were used as sex slaves by the scientists who invented the Sex Offender drug. Shari lost her entire family, a father and brother in service to their country and a mother to cancer. Three individuals, each of them broken in their own way, and only they can heal each other. If they have guts enough to reach out and take what they want.
Full of real raw emotion, well developed main characters, secondary characters that add depth and humor, suspense, scorching sex scenes, and the most adorable nine-year-old girl. I laughed, cried my booty off, and cheered.
Love the ending. Great segue into the next series, Divemasters. The first installment comes out in May.
I highly recommend this and all of Jayne Rylon’s books. I also recommend purchasing directly from Ms. Rylon’s website. I did. I bought the kindle edition, downloaded it, and emailed it to my kindle. Easy Peasy.

From the first chapter you can see the complexity of Ben and Ryan's relationship, the constant termoil for Ben and the deep sense of rejection for Ryan. They are bound together but seem unable to complete the tie.
The story highlights so frequently what happens within close knit family units, where family fights undermine the security for children, and your heart wants so much for them to resolve their dilemas.
You can feel Shari's frustration at failing to show the guys what they are missing from each other because of their stubornness. You find yourself wanting to shout at Ben, to call him out for his deliberate ignorance of what Ryan is offering to him.
The author conveys Ryans need to yield, to serve so well, but at the same time his character is driving the situation forward.
The intimate moments between Ryan and Shari are written so incredibly well, so amazing. You are transported practically within arms reach of them, the skill of the author really takes you there.
When Ben starts to open up and share his burden, you see the completeness of them as a group, the hidden ties that bind them together. And when that bind is finally recognised, the picture painted by the authors words make for a very vibrant, exciting and colourful passage.
The awful incident involving Julie just grabs you by the throat. makes you want to shout at them to move faster, try harder. It is torturous. But when they all start to pull together you start to think, it has to work, it has to be all good. It is so incredible how the author gets into the mindset of Julie. So compelling, so haunting.
Having read this book I know I will be seeking out more from this author. I was hooked from the start, and the book was loaded with story, not just thigh clenching action!
Highly Recommended

But when they all start to pull together you start to think, it has to work, it has to be all good. It is so incredible how the author gets into the mindset of Julie. So compelling, so haunting.
Having read this book I know I will be seeking out more from this author. I was hooked from the start, and the book was loaded with story, not just thigh clenching action!
Highly Recommended

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
The Men in Blue Series is one of my favorites from Jayne so I was very excited that she was coming out with a book for Shari, Ben and Ryan. This book can be read as a standalone in the series but it may get a little confusing with all the couples or aunts and uncles as Julie, Ben’s niece, calls them.
Ben and Ryan have a very deep connection that started when they were in captivity under the influence of the drug Sex Offender. Ryan understands his feelings and knows what he wants from Ben and their new friend Shari but Ben feels conflicted and is unsure of what he wants. It’s up to Ryan and Shari to show Ben how it can be.
I absolutely loved this installment of the Men in Blue Series. Jayne just keeps hitting them out of the park!! The intensity starts right in the beginning and keeps on going. If you’re not one for man on moan then this is not the book for you. If that’s something that does float your boat then pick this up for sure! Shari is the perfect addition. The only part that creeped me out a little was the storyline with Julie, Ben’s niece. I’m not going to leave any spoiler but it’s something that happens in the world so I’m not taking any stars away because it’s a problem that’s out there and we have to recognize it. It didn’t take away from the relationship of the trio, definitely added to their stability. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book. I might even say it’s my favorite since the first in the series!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ben has lived through hell. He only survived captivity and torture by the brutes who’d been attempting to develop Sex Offender, a potent aphrodisiac used as a date rape drug, because of the guy he met—and fell in lust with—in the drug lord’s dungeons.
Ryan became Ben’s roommate after they escaped. His nearness is constantly tempting Ben to force Ryan to submit to his dark desires. Disgusted by how similar that makes him to their captors, he’s managed to hold off so far. How long can he keep his cravings for Ryan’s sexy body at bay?
On top of that, they both seem to be falling for the same woman. If Ben has reservations about unleashing his sexual appetites on Ryan then that goes double for Shari, who is entirely too sweet and inexperienced for either of them. Or so Ben thinks.
When Shari teams up with Ryan to change Ben’s mind, it seems like Ben might consider turning their three-way fling into something serious. Until a threat to Ben’s niece reminds them that it’s not always possible to keep those you love safe. After losing his sister in the Sex Offender scandal, Ben might never be ready to take that risk again.
None of them could have realized they were bound for something greater than a traditional partner in life, but Shari and Ryan are sure the three of them will benefit from the love of not one, but two, strong, giving soul mates who can help them leave the darkness of their past behind.
Will they be able to convince Ben that living fully is better than living cautiously?

Bound for You by Jayne Rylon is the sixth book in the Men in Blue series. Ben and Ryan are two of the men held as unwilling test subjects and sex slaves in The Dungeon by the scientist that invented the drug Sex Offender. Ryan is a sexual submissive, his natural inclination is to do everything he can for those around him; he needs the reassurance of acceptance by being told what to do. Ben is still struggling with what he survived in The Dungeon; he is trying to understand how he feels for Ryan and for Shari. Shari The lost her brother John in the operation to shut down The Dungeon and the rescue of those who were held captive. She is drawn to both Ryan and Ben and adores Ben's eight-soon-to-be-nine year old niece Julie who was held in The Dungeon with her mother, April, who didn't survive the drug and Dungeon. The trio are tiptoeing around each other because of their feelings. Ben and Ryan have a disagreement just before Julie's birthday party that sends Ryan into Shari's arms and home leaving Ryan and Julie alone in the apartment Ben and Ryan had been sharing.
The attraction between the trio is hot, sizzling hot, but the past with the drug and Dungeon is a huge hurdle to overcome. Words said in anger are more hurtful and destructive than one knows at the time they are spoken. The trio must put the past behind and call on the help of the Men in Blue when Julie goes missing. The past comes back to force Ben, Ryan, and Shari to focus on saving Julie.

I was very fortunate to receive an ARC of this book,but as I love this author I have brought it as well.Firstly I would like to say WOW this series just gets better and better,I was blown away by Shari,Ben and Ryan and little Julie!we have had little hints of them in the book before but this story dedicated to them gave me a mega book hangover! What I love most about this series,other than the main characters of course is how all the previous characters are included,they truly are one big family,there to advise,love each other and be there through thick and thin,I love these Men and Blue and their women.Each story in the series is unique with each hero/s and heroine having their own issues to overcome,Ben is battling with his "dark" desires for his best friend Ryan and his increasing feelings for the tiny but fierce Shari,Ryan just a wants to love and look after them both and care for little Julie.What follows is angst,heartbreak and suspense,very typical to this series,but as I said earlier each story is unique to its main characters and they find their happy ever after but it takes time,understanding and love from the whole family to get them there.I can't recommend this series high enough,I know has a new series coming out very soon,something we caught a glimpse of at the end of this book,I'm looking forward to this but so hoping to see more of these gorgeous men and woman of the Men in Blue

*ARC received in return for an honest review*
I feel a bit at a disadvantage not having read the other books in the series first because I would have had a clear understanding from the start as to the history of these characters and their relation to each other. It is explained eventually that Ben and Ryan had been sex slaves, forced against their will, while trying to rescue their missing sisters. I am still not clear how Shari came to be involved. What comes through clearly is that Ryan is deeply in love with Ben and Shari and although these feelings are mutual between the three of them, everyone is frozen in place because Ben is still reeling from everything that happened and can't get past feelings of guilt. Just when it finally seems as though Shari and Ryan have broken through the shell Ben has built around himself, Ben's young neice disappears and everything the three of them have been building together is threatened.
This is a really well-written menage romance. Between the steamy sex scenes and the emotional story line, this book was hard to put down. I definitely want to read the previous five books in the series. The synopsis says you don't need to read the other books to enjoy this one and that is true, but I highly recommend it because it would really enhance the impact of this book to know who all the players are and what they have been through.

I have to admit I only recently (within the last 6 months) found Jayne Rylon’s books. I have NEVER been disappointed in anything she wrote. In fact, I have her on my buy immediately upon being released. Even if I received an ARC I still purchase her books. I have been waiting patiently (not so patiently actually) for her latest release Bound for You featuring Ben, Ryan, and Shari from the Men in Blue series. I have to say this one did not disappoint. It was emotional, gritty, and heart wrenching all the while putting your faith back in people.
The action scenes and the romance scenes were everything I have come to expect from a Jayne Rylon book. She writes in a way I can picture everything but still leaves things to the imagination while making sure that everyone involved in taken care of. She has other series that are the same way.
While this book was certainly HOT it was also about bigger things such as family, friends, and moving past traumas that change the person you once were. Family, that of which you born into and that which you choose for yourself, is a major theme in this series. I love how Jayne Rylon mixes the emotions and takes you on a journey that is both emotional and uplifting. You will not be disappointed with her latest for the Men in Blue series.

Ben is a dominate alpha to the core. Stubborn, hard headed and extremely protective. Ryan is sweet and a more than willing to give submissive. A strong personality, that allows him to share his mental and physical strength with others. Shari’s presence invokes balance. She’s a take no crap kind of woman, and will do anything in her power to help. The trio share of a past tragedy that has bonded them tighter than friends. An experience that has left scars, emotional turmoil, questioning of friendships and lustful desires.
Family is not always about who you’re born to, it’s about the people in your life that love you unconditionally no matter what. The Men in Blue through tragedy, triumph, pleasure and pain have come together to make a family stronger than blood can bond. Jayne Rylon flawlessly continues the bonds of friendship and love with Bound to You. Emotionally deep characters, a twisty plot, pure erotic passion and healing hearts. Jayne Rylon gives readers a full array of emotions in Bound to You. A sexy and raw read that will have you panting.

Oh my this book is amazing!!! I have been so impressed with the series, but this book was amazing!! After all Ryan, Ben, and Shari have been through; they deserve some happiness!! However, Ben seems intent on not allowing them to find it. Ryan and Shari finally give into their passion for one another (holy panty melting!) they are on their own until Ryan gets under Ben's skin at Julie's birthday party and Ben finally gives into his desires for Ryan and kisses him like no tomorrow, but when Shari walks in and thinks she is going to be the odd man out and takes off or tries to. However, Ryan and Ben have other ideas, now is the time talk about them. With Ben's niece staying with her Aunt, they finally have it out and oh boy!! Talk about steamy!! Then Julie is kidnapped and Ben blames himself and wants to withdraw again, will Ryan and Shari be able to keep him from pulling away? Will they get their happily ever after?
This book has some intense topics and scenes, but it makes it a great book and awesome read!! I love this trio, they are awesome characters and so is the supporting cast. This is an incredible series and book! Jayne Rylon gets better and better with every book!!

So I don't know why I held off on reading this one for so long.
It was enjoyable.
I think my only real complaint was that this was definitely Ryan and Shari's story, Ben was in it, but he really didn't have that much of a presence, and certainly not much of a voice from his POV.
The overall plot was alright. Not sure how I feel about the Julie storyline. It seemed a bit absurd that the kidnapper would have allowed her to order the pizza/get it from the delivery man by herself.
Also really not sure how I feel about the way the Divemaster books were introduced. That seemed a bit... forced.

Can one person love enough for everyone?
Beautiful story of three people who didn't think they were capable of love and them finding it. Beautifully crafted and written. Wonderfully hot sex scenes.

Dear motherf*** God that book.... Can't say much! One man so badly hurt that he pushes the sunshines out of his life only to keep himself apart and safe not to get hurt Gain. One man so in love with two people that one pouches him away and one that he does the same without realising. One woman that will get light in to their lifes again if they let her...
With all seriousness I really think that I fell sooooo hard for that trio! And Ryan... The most sexy and in all f*cking hot man I have read about! Absolutely amazing... All of them... It really became my new favourite book! The best in the hole series and those were some amazing books...
Highly recommended book!!
P.S.: I'm going for a very long cold shower!! 😉
