This one was a solid 3.5-4 star read. Jayne’s mother was a piece of work! She was so self serving and horrible to Jayne, that it made the book difficult to read at times. Declan, Lucas and Jayne’s chemistry was so great. Declan and Lucas really helped Jayne come out of the shell her mother badgered her into. I did get a bit of an ick factor in some of the more spicy scenes because the guys are brothers. They don’t do anything with each other, but it still was a little off putting.

Excellent

Very very lovely story. Plot development was great. Character development was great.

There are a few typos. Here are some off the top of my head. The word "waiver" was used at least twice instead of "waver" and "to" was used once instead of "too".

The sex scenes were 10/10. The way subspace was described brought me to tears because I know from experience how it can feel, as well as the drop.

This was absolutely amazing and I loved the relationship that formed between them all. I loved how having them both introduce Jayne to this whole dom and sub life style really allowed you to connect with them as characters. They cared so much to respect her boundaries and feeling and constantly pushed for the need for communication and trust. I like that there were moments where neither of them were perfect and apologized for letting her down during this journey. Additionally, the whole plot with the mom was great and created such a unique source of tension in the relationship, especially with the NDA. Howard was amazing and we all deserve a dad like him. I also appreciated that at the end when we see the couple months down the line, we weren’t stuck with just a handful of pages to leave us on. We got a whole chunk of this book where they’re just happy together and I loved it all. Definitely going to read more from this author.

This is a fantastic debut book by Luna Kayne! The characters, the story, the romance, everything is amazing. I swear this book gets better the more I read it.

Jayne is just trying to get to her 25th birthday, she dreams of owning her family beach house, however her mother has other plans. Side note: Jayne's mother is probably the most hated character in any book I have read. I can't stand her. Jayne meets Lucas and Declan, who are brothers, and the three of them begin a relationship.

The development of all the characters is amazing, along with the story itself. There are some pretty steamy BDSM scenes in the book, but its not the main focus, which I absolutely love. You can feel the the chemistry between Jayne, Lucas and Declan. There is truly love between the three of them.

I find myself wanting more of all the characters, okay maybe not Jayne's controlling mother. I want to know more about what happens in Jayne, Declan and Lucas' lives. I can't recommend this story enough to anyone who loves erotic romance stories that will make you feel all sorts of emotions while reading.

I look forward to more books by Luna Kayne in the future!

Amazing

This book was amazing and so hot. Posseive Brothers with big hearts and Jayne was adorably innocent making for a perfect trio with outstanding chemistry. I loved how accepting they were while see explored their sexual interests. And so glad she got a happy ending after putting up with her witch of a mother.

If you want a book that’s all sex then this is the book for you. There was a story line but to me it fell a little flat. I wanted more chemistry between the characters.

It was good,  if you take out the classic blunders of emotional manipulation of a parent
