Another quick and easy read; not as good as the first book in the series, though. I like that each book focuses on a different set of characters, but they’re all connected to each other one way or another. I look forward to reading the third book (and the rest of the series because I already bought all the books

I liked this one way better than Wicked Ties.
It's fairly usual for the heroes to have big bad secrets who keeps them from pursuing the heroine, and Deke was no exception. In this case, the secret was a bad one and yet something that should have been overcome in 12 years especially if, like he says, he went to multiple therapists. I can't believe not one of them managed to make him understand that it wasn't his fault.
And another flaw is just at the start when the heroine explains her plan to the heroes "yes, I want you two to tutor me in the art of menage so I can go off and enter a menage with another guy. Oh, and you can't take my virginity while you're tutoring me."
Excuse me? You want a guy and you willingly go and share something so intimate as sex with not one but TWO guys? One of which is a complete stranger to you and the other someone you thought couldn't stand you? Uh, what?
Anyway.

What I really liked in this book is that it was a menage for most part, but in the end the heroine chose one of the heroes and went into a relationship with him abandoning the menage. It's not something that I see happening often in these type of books, usually the heroine falls for the two heroes and they live happily ever after.
Instead, Kimber acknowledged the explosive sexual connection to both of them, but gave her heart just to one. And the other was left high and dry, with his own terrible secret (which is revealed by the end) to live with.
Now I'm curious about Luc, what will happen with Alyssa?

Oh, and I'm not one to comment on these type of things usually, but damn, the sex scenes in this book are HOT.

This novel left some to be desired. I thought that for a menage novel it didn't hold enough of the angst or emotion that I like to read. There was far too much whining and the Luc parts were what I enjoyed most. If only this story had more depth.

Ahhhhh mi mente estuvo en conflicto durante todo el libro, me gusto mucho PERO a la vez hubiera querido quitarle personajes aun cuando ese personaje en particular se gano mi corazón...

Deke despertó mi curiosidad desde que leí sobre él en el primer libro, y ahora en éste, su libro, simplemente me enamoro, claro que fue súper cabezota alejando a Kimber cada vez que tenia la posibilidad, pero fue parte de su esencia y de lo que de cierta manera me hizo adorarlo; quizás y muchas prefieran a Luc, y aunque no niego que me atrapo con esa personalidad dulce y al mismo tiempo oscura, desde el principio me aferre a Deke.
Kimber, umm al principio me pareció tonta, ya que el motivo por el cual quería aprender era estúpido, sorry, pero ya con el paso de las paginas, su personaje tomo fuerza, termino siendo magnífica!

Se que los Ménage à trois fueron una parte primordial en la historia, ya que de cierta manera servían como escudo para Deke, PEROOOOO me hubiera encantado poder disfrutar mas de Deke-Kimber SOLOSSSSSSS!!!! Como ya dije, Luc me encanto y estoy súper feliz de saber que su historia es la que sigue, pero aun así y aunque disfrute sus hot scenes, definitivamente Shayla sabe como describir esas escenas sin que lleguen a ser grotescas, siento que fueron too much, quería mas intimidad solo entre Deke y Kimber, y eso es lo que no hizo la historia perfecta para mi.

Y aunque yo le busque peros a la historia, definitivamente te mantiene pegada a las letras desde el principio, sin soltarla hasta que lees la palabra FIN.
