Ok I enjoyed this one too, I don’t know if I just needed to get in the swing of things with these books or what but I like this book.
Xander and Javier are really struggling. Xander wants to free his brother from his past but he doesn’t know how and Javier can’t forgive himself.
London comes into the picture and it throws both men into a tails spin I kinda loved that. I think the only thing I didn’t like was how long the scar’s thing got dragged out.
I am not 100% sold on brother being with 1 women it’s different for sure. Again great storyline to go with the love story very entertaining.
The narration was ok I really want Christian Fox to narrate again that was awesome.

I liked this book in the series. I liked that there was the typical danger conflict that is usually part of the plots of this series, along with the smutty romance. I am a fan of the menage trope, but I will admit it was very weird to me that the menage was between two brothers. Now I understand there was no actually contact between them, but I felt a bit funny about it. I would have preferred that either they weren't brothers or keep the brothers but only one of them gets to sleep with her. But I do love their love for her, while I feel that occasionally they are a bit too pushy. I am planning on continuing the series though. Great addition to the series.

Shayla is back! I didn't like the last 3 books in the series as much as the first 3. But Xander and Javier made up for it.
The people who don't like this book mainly seem mad that X and J are sharing. If you don't like permanent ménage relationships, then you shouldn't be reading this book anyway.

mfm kitapları gerrrrrrçekten hep aynı. -_-! ve ben shaylanın kitaplarını okudum demiştim size diyemedim. bottom top. ha yine okur muyum bu tarz, muhtemelen ama hiç bir zaman benim kitaplarım olamayacaklar. 'sharing" mevzusu benim için iğrenç bir şey. yani "its just sex' değil. şehvet libido ve takıntılı birleşince aşk oluyor ya... daha bir şey demiyorum.

I absolutely LOVE this series...why? Well the very first book in the series is the very first BDSM book I ever read. I was sold that instant. I will always have a special place in my heart for this series. It opened my eyes to a whole new genre of books that I have come to love oh so very much!
Now with that said I would have to say this book was not really my favorite. I love Xander and Javier but I just felt like this book really didn't have as much BDSM in as I wanted. It was a good story. It seemed to be more about their story, more of a love story, about them working with Javier and him getting over what is eating him alive pretty much. Which was good don't get me wrong. BUT I wanted more BDSM. Xander is this person who is all about sex and is good at his BDSM. He is trying to get his brother more into it. The only thing I felt was that aspect fell a little short in this story. I knew where it was going don't get me wrong. I also LOVED that London is not this stick skinny girl.
This is the first book that I have read that has a menage with brothers. I have read quite a few others but it usually has friends. This series is the first that I have read that had family members involved in a menage relationship. First is the cousins, this has brothers. So at first I thought okay, this can get weird right? It didn't. I actually liked how everything worked out. It was written well.
The only reason I was not OMG about it was because I felt like the BDSM was a bit of a miss. I understand that she (London) was new to the whole BDSM lifestyle but they just didn't stick with it the way any other person who is training someone or getting them into the lifestyle would have. (or at least not like in some of the other books) I felt like they let her get away with too much and at the same time they kind of tried to do the Dom thing but lost it at some spots. It is brought up in the book and I wanted to say 'Thank you, I knew I couldn't be the only one who saw that!"
For me this was a bit of a miss and for some it may be a hit. So it just depends on what you're looking for. If you want more of an angsty book about a man who is having a hard time dealing with his own personal issues and his brother is trying to help him, and the process and how that journey goes. This is a good one.
I am looking forward to the next one though. I also LOVE that we always get to see some of the guys from the other books!

Oh, I'm so sad that I didn't enjoy this book.
I found myself rolling my eyes more than I even care to admit...
We've met Xander previously because he was Logan's go-to guy on many occasions. Xander is the playboy billionaire that just wants to have fun, screw woman, and help his friends out of sticky situations for the adrenalin rush. Since his big brother, Javier, won't allow him anything to do with the family business, he needs something to do to pass the time, right?
Javier is drowning himself in guilt and vodka because he feels responsible for his wife's infidelity which resulted in her tragic death. He refuses to allow Xander to help him in any way, personal or business.
Introduce London. Sexy Siren's owner Alyssa's inexperienced little cousin. London's had a seriously rough life after a tragic car accident handicapped her for nearly ten years. She fought through it with physical therapy and determination, and now that she's got a good medical regimen she is ready to live life to it's fullest.
Technically, London meets Javier first, though he was too drunk to remember London helping him into his bed at Alyssa's house. Xander meets London not long after with an interesting accidental strip tease that perks Xanders interest and he quickly becomes smitten. Just a few hours later, London interviews for a position available to be Javier's administrative assistant. Of course, she gets the job instantly.
Xander and Javier are both extremely attracted to London and thoroughly smitten with her. They decide that instead of fighting over her, they should share her because they both possess qualities that will benefit her.
Lot of fun, dirty sex later, and London is just seriously overwhelmed. Keeping in mind, all of this is taking place within a week.
The playboy billionaire, and the overworked alcoholic both seem to be able to fall head over heels in love with London while committing to change their ways. As well as work together in a polygamous relationship that neither have ever tried before...all because they shared well when they were kids....good grief!
The thing I am most sad about is that Xander just isn't the same guy that we've come to know and love in the other books. If he wants to change his ways to fall in love, I'm all for it...but his personality is just so different and it breaks my heart. I was not a fan of Javier in the least though. I can't say that about many characters I've read, but he just wasn't someone I could relate to at all.
Overall, not a terrible story. Just not one of my favorites.
