LENGTH:127 pages
BLURB:
My husband has a secret. Desires he’s kept locked away in a deep, dark place.
Determined to pry details of this forbidden longing, I had no idea how much this new side of him would turn me on. So when I met the object of his lust I couldn’t let it rest.
Edward Mooreland was a force to be reckoned with, a man who fought for his country and what he wanted. But did he want me and my husband? Would I ever experience his passion let loose or would I remain on the sidelines, watching, waiting, hoping?
One thing I knew, I wasn’t the type of girl to give in without a fight. I wanted to be part of the action too. More than part of it, I wanted to be in the goddamn middle of it with bells, whistles and fireworks when it all exploded. Yes…I wanted it all.
REVIEW:
If you want to have a glimpse into the narration of this story, I strongly suggest you read the blurb. I’ll admit I saw MMF and put my hand up to read this story without doing so. After finishing the book, I came back and read it and it is absolutely the voice of our heroine, Sian.
A lot of people who enjoy MM stories do so to avoid heroines who are likely to drive the reader crazy. In fact, I’ve read a lot of MF books in which the heroine has driven me crazy. Thankfully that did not happen in this story. Sian has to be one of the most refreshing heroines I’ve encountered in an extremely long time. Although she calls a spade a spade, it was nice to be shown she also had some vulnerabilities.
The prologue is off the charts hot and serves as an intro to the delicious characters, Ed and Coben, giving the reader a glimpse into their stolen moments while serving together in the military. From there we jump forward to the lives of Sian and Coben and through a chance meeting at a client’s home all three are thrown into the path of each other’s lives. Sian is a smart cookie and it doesn’t take her long to figure out the men have been more than friends in the past. I really like the way the couple deal with this, and then all three as a trio. Emotions run high but thankfully the story didn’t cross into convoluted drama for the sake of so-called driving the plot!
I don’t want to divulge too much, as I’d hate to ruin a single moment of this story for potential reader.
The epilogue is told from Ed’s point of view and finishes the story off perfectly.
In short this story contained so many things I love in a good story. It went straight to my favorites shelf and I’ll shout out to all and sundry to read this book! Bear in mind, I’m a huge fan of FF erotic so for me to be jumping up and down about a MMF book with plenty of MM action is no small feat for an author to pull off.
Contains – sexy military men, a no holds barred heroine, who is a tattooist to boot, a motorbike riding hero, MM action and hot three-way action. Sigh, be still my beating heart.
