This story was kind of hard to swallow. The two men in the menage have very little in common except being in love with the same woman. They don't really like each other, so it makes it hard to understand them accepting a menage together. Otherwise, the story was good. ( )

This one felt off to me...I felt like Thorpe got the shaft for the majority of the book. Maybe it was just that I didn't really care for Sean? Sadly my least favorite of the series. ( )

This was actually one of my favorite of this series. While at times I felt it dwelled too much on the main character's feelings (the same ones over and over and over), I felt they were all well rounded. What I liked most about it was what I think a lot of novels are missing these days and that is an ending! The story didn't just stop once the crisis was over, there was closure for the characters that was satisfying to the readers. Looking forward to the next installment. ( )

I have very conflicted emotions about this book. For the most part I enjoyed the story very much, however there were times I just want to throw it against the wall. It was nice to finally get the whole story on Callie Ward. Her story is has had great heart break and terror that has lasted for nearly a decade. She has overcome tremendous odds and stayed alive when so many teenage would know how to leave their homes without their phones and friends. I was very surprise to find that she was an heiress and that her real name is Callindra Howe. I can’t much more about Callie since it would give away too much of the story. I will say that she is an intelligent, compassionate and loving woman that deserved a happy ending with the men that protected and loved her so well.

We also get the whole story of Mitchell Thorpe and I have to say I was heartbroken to learn what he had gone through. Unfortunately his story is not unfamiliar and it happens much too often. I am surprised that it affected him so deeply. I am also surprised that he is so set that his age would make a difference in his relationship with Callie. I have to respect the man that he was willing to work with Sean Mackenzie to form a menage that would make Callie happy. I am sure with his possessive and protective instincts it was hard to let Sean into that relationship. Thorpe is a wealthy man that could whoever he wanted but only Callie ever affected his heart and soul. For all his intelligence and cool headedness he is still a teenager could in the web of the adults that betrayed him.

Sean “KirkPatrick” MacKenzie has pulled the wool over even Thorpe’s eyes for seven months. It is both funny and sad when Thorpe realizes who Sean works for. Sean does himself proud as an undercover agent. He is also head over heels in love with Callie. Sean is quick witted, intelligent and up to the point of meeting Callie driven to succeed at his job. Sean hasn't been in the BDSM scene long mostly because he has been working so hard but he isn't the hard core Dominant that Thorpe is. Sean is much more willing to work with Thorpe in sharing Callie. He just wants what will make her happy. I liked Sean from the beginning and I was glad that he was able to work things out in the end.

This is a very fast paced story that has lots of valley and mountains. The emotions that it draws from the reader can be difficult at times. I would advise keeping some tissues handy. There is a dark, lurking evil that tried to kill Callie when she was a teenager and is still trying to kill through most of the story. While there are some ideas who is behind all the violence that organization isn't caught in this story.

There aren't any m/m scenes in this story. Thorpe and Sean work together to keep Callie satisfied and safe. There is some spanking, bondage and some creative use of household items to punish Callie and there are lots of steamy hot love scenes. Those scenes don’t over power the story however. ( )
