Marta needs a vampire fang and a werewolf claw to make a protective amulet to break her sister's enthrallment to an evil incubus who wants to drain their coven of their power. Her ex, Cassius, is a vampire, and she’d love to knock his tooth out--because after she told him she wanted to be his exclusively when she caught him in a blood orgy, he let her walk away.
Even though she’s a powerful witch, she’s not strong enough to take on a vampire – especially one who could make her orgasm with a thought. So she hires MacKenzie, a werewolf mercenary, to do her dirty work. Not to do her. But their chemistry explodes into a scorching one night stand.
It turns out Cassius wasn't actually ready to give Marta up. He crashes the one night stand and demands that Marta and MacKenzie use sex magic to seal the incubus's access to their world forever. Sure, it'll work. But if Marta becomes part of the threesome, her dreams of having a monogamous relationship will go right out the window, and leave her with an emotionally distant vampire and a half-mad werewolf in her bed.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book by the author’s rep. I have read it and am reviewing it voluntarily and honestly with my own opinion. I am not being compensated in any way.
The cover attracted me initially, but after reading Marta’s description of Cassius, a vampire, I decided that the cover just didn’t work. Cassius is tall, slender, cool, and pale. Neither one of the guys on the cover looks like that. Not even slightly. I do, however, like the way the three people are posed on the cover with a triangle and the man on the left in a dominant position and in front of the woman. That is totally how this trio worked. Cassius was in charge and used the other two to control each other. And yet, somehow there was a sense of caring in the relationship. It was something that Marta noted a couple of times. The gentleness of Cassius’ hands or a look. Some gesture towards McKenzie.
Marta and Cassius had been involved before. She had discovered him in a blood orgy and he had let her walk away. She figured they were through and that their bond would dissolve. She wanted one man to commit to a relationship with just her, monogamy. What she ended up with was quite different. She ended up with a Master Vampire and a Werewolf-Vampire in a bonded relationship with her, a High Priestess Witch. A lot of power in a trinity like that. Marta can use the energy of sex to do magic, and the energy generated by a trio is considerable.
Initially, she had just been looking for parts, body parts. She needed a vampire’s fang and a werewolf’s claw to set a spell for her sister. Her sister, Leah, tangled with a demon, an incubus. She ended up being something other than the weak witch she was in the beginning and got a powerful protector in the end. But that’s a story for the next novella.
This is romance only in Marta’s mind. This is sex, sometimes rather raw, always hot and steamy. With their menage a trois, and male on male, these folks get into just the basics of such a relationship. But there is as much sex as there is storyline. The next novella about Leah and Justice should be interesting as well. We’ve been given a glimpse of his backstory in this book and it’s unique. Recommended.
What a unique spin on a witch making a triad with former ex-boyfriend vampire (Cassius) and a current boyfriend werewolf (McKenzie)! Marta is desperate to save her sister Leah from the hold of an Incubus. Following the spell ingredients, Marta attempts to hire a werewolf to knock a vampire tooth out then later get a werewolf claw to combine some witch magic into an amulet; all to save Leah. However her plan failed. Sabotaged. Following the lead of Cassius to save her sister, Marta learns a lot of secrets from McKenzie about her former lover, Cassius. Ending on a good scene, the story ties nicely to a close. Plus the perk is that there is a branch off story with Leah & Justice since Marta, McKenzie & Cassius story ends.
OMG! This was such a wonderful story. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down, and thank goodness it isn't a very long story because I started it with the intention of reading a chapter and then going to sleep. This is not one of those books that will let you do that. The story is original, the characters are endearing, and the menage is super sexy. I have read a few books by this author, but this one is my favorite!
Trinity magicMarta is a witch and to save her sister from a incubus demon she needs a fang from a vampire and a claw from a werewolf to make a amulet. She tries to hire Mad Mackenzie to bust her ex Cassius fang out. Here is where her plans go sideways. This was a good read . I enjoyed reading this book . I loved that it was unique and could lead to another book.
