This is a wonderful continuation of a complex and erotic story of three people who end up together in the BDSM world. Drew is an excellent story teller and the entire Everett Gaming Series is worth investing some time in.

October 12, 2016Us by Drew Sera. The long awaited third book in this series did not disappoint. We see our main characters Colin, Anthony and Sydney growing closer in their closed V. I love all the interactions between the three of them and how seamless the three of them are and how seamless their relationship seems to flow. There are times where I feel sorry for Colin and Anthony when they have to hide their feelings for Sydney at vanilla social functions due to the type of relationship they have.
The healing that Sydney has undergone in this book is amazing and you can't help but root for her. My heart grows bigger for Anthony to see him over come his childhood to finally say those three little words to Sydney. I love Colin's ability to love Sydney with Anthony knowing how much Anthony needs Sydney to help better himself. The scenes in this book are hot and leave me fanning myself.
I knew at some point in this story Paul would show rear his ugly head and take what isn't his. I will be on pins and needles waiting for the 4th book to come out.

Us: Book 3
This series has hooked me with this story. It is one that you can't wait to see what happens next. These tow Doms are the kind of Doms that every submissive dreams of, totally caring and loving byt not afraid to push the limits. Love this series just kind of hate this new turn that the book is heading into. Sigh.

Us: Book Three in The Everett Gaming Series by Drew Sera
Sensational, book 3 is another shining example of the superb writing style of Drew Sera. We have been on quite a journey with Sydney, Colin and Anthony. We have watched these characters’ grow through each book with this book bring them together in a culmination of happiness and fulfillment.
Reading each page, we are watching silently as this relationship grows and matures into a healthy relationship with Sydney’s wellbeing at the center. Colin and Anthony have provided a nurturing environment that has allowed her to heal and start moving on from her past.
I found this book unique in regards to not only getting Anthony, Sydney and Colins perspective of each day but Paul gets thrown in here too. What a creep and I had an overwhelming urge to smack him one. He is an egotistical a**hat that needs to be taken down a few notches. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you much more than that even though I don’t believe it will spoil this book I get a feeling it is coming soon.
It has been fabulous watching Anthony open up and be able to share his feeling with Sydney which I believe has helped her heal and trust them without question. The intimacy these three share in all aspects of their life is a pleasure to read about and can only hope this happiness will continue. To be perfectly honest this book is a little too happy. With most books we read there is a beginning when we meet the characters; middle where there is a catastrophic event to cause heartache and finally the end where things generally work out. NOT THESE BOOKS!!!!!!! We have been able to enjoy happiness for an entire book and get to watch a strong relationship bloom, is there going to be another show to drop where this happiness will end? I sincerely hope not but the ending of this book eludes to the fact that will not be the case.
To all of you readers out there that love a great story that is solid, not to sappy and has structure then this series is for you. It is a very intimate series that will leave you aching for relief and wishing you could be Sydney (without the bad history). Up to now we have learned about Anthony, Colin and Sydney’s past and how they became the people that they are.
There are not enough words to express how much I have enjoyed reading this twisted, loving, caring, lustful yet beautiful series. PLEASE READ!!!

This book 3 in the Everett Gaming Series, Us, revolves mainly around the 3 main characters; Colin Everett, Anthony Graves and Sydney Burke. Their triangular relationship, or closed V as it is described in the book, is cemented more with the festivities of Christmas.
Sydney, Colin, Anthony and the guys best friend Matt and his wife/sub Gina all go to Anthony’s cabin in the mountains for Christmas. Sydney tackles some her fears with Matt & Gina’s help, along with Blake – the owner of club Irons, who is also a good friend of Colin’s, and Anthony’s old mentor, in order to give both her guys something special for Christmas.
While at the cabin, Matt & Gina play in the woods, where Sydney hears calls for help from Matt, but nothing from Gina. Colin tells Sydney to wait in the cabin while he and Anthony go looking for them. But because she didn’t hear Gina, she tries to find them all – getting lost in the woods in the dark in the process. This is how she earns her first punishment from Colin and Anthony, for not following directions.
Their closed V is made more permanent when Colin and Anthony collar Sydney at club Irons in a loving declaration and variation of the Rose ceremony. The rose ceremony is a significant ritual in BDSM. Some regard it as a deeper connection than marriage, using a white rose bud to symbolise Sydney (the submissive) and blooming red roses for Colin and Anthony (symbolising their dominance).
Sadist Paul, who was escorted out of the club with security when he attacked Anthony with a whip after he refused to allow Paul to negotiate to play with Sydney, rears his ugly head toward the end of this book. I was just waiting for him to make a move.
A couple of things I want to point out. There are quite a lot of missing words, or spelling and punctuation that needs to be fixed. Another thing that is quite prevalent is the fact that the author doesn’t differentiate between scenes. For example, the paragraphs just flow on one from the other – when one instance they are at home, the very next paragraph they are somewhere else, with no indication that there is a scene change. A few times, I’ve had to re-read a paragraph to ensure there was actually a scene change. This has been the way all of this series has been written, and yes, the author repeats herself somewhat in this book as well. If you can ignore all this and just read it for the story, I think you’ll find it an enjoyable storyline.

Third book in this series and i cannot put into words what this series has done to me. This builds on the relationship that Colin, Sydney and Anthony are trying to create. Sydney is learning to trust Anthony and Colin more and more but her past is still holding her back from truly enjoying what is right in front of her. She still has fear that she cannot overcome. Sydney is learning that she is strong a little at a time.
Again this book has you on the edge of your seat and pulls out of you emotions that you didnt know you had. At least that is what this book did to me. I absolutely loved it from the very beginning to the very end. I love the chemistry between Colin, Sydney and Anthony. There is no way to describe what these three have with each other. The healing that Sydney overcomes in this book makes this book absolutely amazing. I loved how well written her parts in this book were.
I just cannot put into words what this book let alone this series has done for me. I absolutely loved being able to feel what each of them is feeling . I love how these books are written in that they pull emotions from each character so that the reader feels everything right along with them. Drew is just an unbelieveably amazing writer.

While I loved this book as much as I have loved the previous two in this series, this one was more emotional for me. I was in awe of Sydney throughout this book. Her strength and courage is so much more than inspiring, it is breathtakingly beautiful. The friendship she has with Gina, the love she has with Colin and Anthony and the connections she has with others like Matt and Blake are beyond what she could ever dream. It is heartbreaking when she allows her past to creep in and make her doubt everything she is and everything she could be. The last chapter had my heart breaking and my mind racing right along with Colin, Anthony and Matt. After reading the last chapter, I was actually thankful for the things that she endured before Colin and Anthony came into her life. Those hardships (along with the love Colin and Anthony have shown her) may just be what she needs to survive.
It seems kind of silly sometimes to connect with fictional characters so completely, but Drew Sera has done such an amazing job at writing their story that I find myself feeling many of the same emotions as Colin, Anthony and Sydney. And I am growing to hate Paul more and more with each passing chapter.

Us by Drew Sera is the third book in the Everett Gaming Series, an emotionally charged dark series.
Colin and Anthony continue to work with Sydney on having her heal and continue to be surprised by how much she is accomplishing.
Sydney shows her strength even though she struggles a little with taking the chances of coming into her own. She's becoming comfortable with herself more and trusting her Dom's more and more as they begin to push her some.
Colin and Anthony are in complete sync with one another along their journey. We watch as Anthony struggles to tell Sydney how much he truly cares about her and he finally does.
And Paul rears his ugly head, from book one I could not stand this man and I didn't know why. But I'm beginning to wonder if there is a reason as to why.
Can't wait for the next book Alone!

Oh my this book was so intense and revealing that I found moment where I couldn't image what she had to go through at the hands of Howard. Sydney is suck a brave young woman that I'm glad she finally got her happy ending with Colin and Anthony. The show here so much love and compassion that it just makes this book so much more. I also love how Matt and Gina have become a major part of her life along with Blake. This series touches on so many issues that I'm so glad that you wrote about them. I'm looking forward to reading book 4 soon. Without any doubt I give this book a 5 star review and recommend it to all you love stories of love, fear, betrayal and hope. This one has I all. Thank you Drew Sera for a wonderful and mind opening series.

US continues the story of Sydney, Colin and Anthony. Sydney is becoming stronger as she heals physically and emotionally even though she has setbacks.
Anthony is starting to share more of his past and is finally able to verbally tell Sydney he loves her. And Colin, Anthony and Sydney are able to explore more of the BDSM world as there V relationship becomes stronger.
This story had a lot of positives in it with Sydney able to relax and explore more and Anthony opening up more. Sydney has made a good friend in Gina and she trusts Matt and Blake to keep her safe when her Dom's are not around.
But then Paul has to step back in... I highly recommend this story! It draws you in and you laugh with the characters and hurt with them. Great job Drew Sera!!

Since I rated this book with 3 stars it’s only fair I leave a review. I enjoyed book one and two. The way book 2 ended you knew something big and dark was going to happen and I was excited but it doesn’t take place until the very end of the book. This story seemed to drag on...several times the same things kept being mentioned for example how Colin and Anthony felt about Sydney...okay okay we know they love her. In my opinion the author should have showed us how they were moving forward in their relationship but half through the book how it ended should have started there. Will I read book 4? Of course because hopefully it will become dark once again.

Colin, Sydney and Anthony are in a closed V and have plenty of hot steamy sex! Sydney is still second guessing and questioning their relationship. She expects they’ll get sick of her neediness and issues and discard her. Anthony and her both understand one another on such a deep level due to their abuse. Although Anthony loves her with every breath he takes he struggles to put into words for her. Sydney is brave and does things she never thought she could with the help of their friends. Colin and Anthony gently guide and push her limits along the way. They really make some progress with her limits.
September 30, 2017
In Us, Sydney continues to heal her mind and soul after suffering at the hands of a sadistic man in Fragile, with Colin and Anthony faithfully at her side, guiding and nurturing her. It's another emotional journey for our beloved trio as we watch Sydney get stronger and begin to embrace her desires, discovering her BDSM limits. Anthony and Colin are so amazing, and we also learn more about their pasts and what made them who they are now. It's a remarkable continuation of a dark but also beautiful story, and I look forward to the next in the series!

The love between these three is incredible. The Christmas part was so majestic. The thought and feeling and love that went into the gifts and events surrounding the season were so heartwarming. This is my new favorite in this series. The feelings created by this story just holds you and keeps in invested in these characters. It does end in a cliffhanger, and I pray everything works out the way I hope it will. Awesome writing by Drew Sera.

Hello Amazing Book Miss Drew Sera did it again!
5 stars for this amazing book it deserves more, She has brought so much in to the characters and they connect on so many unbelievable ways. They have brought out the good in each other. Never thought I could be so intrigued by a story of this magnitude in the bdsm and the V relationship they have is so amazing. If you don't mind reading anything that is in kink , bdsm life style this is it.
Amazing work Drew Sera!

This series is worth reading..
I really like this series, but just can’t give it the 5th star. It is well written and edited. It is raw and heart wrenching with some light shining through. The problem I have it is just too wordy. I would be much better if condensed some. Three is just too much description of mundane things like dressing and eating.
Fortunately this is KU and I started it after the series was complete. I do enjoy the story, but find myself skipping over a lot

The repetition continues, but I've learned to ignore it. Although sometimes it gets annoying and I just take a break from it. They story itself is good though. Much better "ending" this time. It ended well for the story with a good (even predictable) cliffhanger. On to book four.
Oh. And as like my last review, 3.5 stars.

Another great read.. It's gripping, it's emotional and it's hot. The ending has me needing to read the next book and I think it just might take that emotion and kick it into high gear. I think, that I'm headed into the dark and I'm hoping to see the light on the other side. But, I'll say this.. I love dark books but yeah they could get emotional too.
December 6, 2018
I'm loving how Colin, Anthony and Sydney's lives and their V relationship are developing together, both emotionally and physically. Some beautiful scenes where the love between the three is them shows so deeply, while all still being so vulnerable due to their pasts. Again, the POV style of Drew's writing allows this to happen so authentically. This is such a beautiful story, highly recommended.
June 12, 2017
Wow, what a ride!
It's a great story, I can't wait to read the next one. Things look like it's going okay and the story is coming to a happy ending when something happens and makes your heart break. Love this series!!!

Seriously- read this series!
Unquestionably one of the best series I've ever read. Each book is long, but keeps you turning the pages quickly! I love how the story is coming together and cannot wait to read book 4!

So far the story is fantastic
Anthony, Collin and Sydney are progressing in their relationship and with her limits, the description that Drew uses in her books is so powerful that draws you in the scene. Love to see what else happens with this.

Omg cliffhanger
I absolutely love the growth you find in this book. Anthony, Collin, and Sydney not only grow as a V but also individually. I am so anxious to get to the next book to read what happens next!

Loving this series
This book follows the building of trust between Colin, Sydney and Anthony who all have very scarred pasts. These books will definitely take you on a roller coaster read of the buildings of love, trust and sexy. Cannot recommend this read highly enough.

I really like Anthony. My only complaint about this series is how repetitive some of the paragraphs are.
