Either this was a good story or I'm just a complete perv. Lol!!!

Normally when I read reverse Harem books; I opt for MFM and not MMF. Never thought I would enjoy a book with swordplay involved. Who would have thought?

Chole Drexel was the Executive Assistant to Lachlan MacKay and Alec Murray who owned the largest Hedge Fund Company in the world. Chloe was given a chance to travel with her bosses to their Homeland of Scotland in what she imagined would be a dream vacation. Unbeknownst to her it would be the worst day of her life. After catching her cheating Fiancé in the airport with his girlfriend of 1 year Chloe was devastated.

Also unbeknownst to Chloe was the fact that her bosses both wanted her from the most she began working for them 3 months prior. Chloe has always been attracted to her bisexual bosses but they were simply a fantasy to her. This story was a tale of Fated Mates. Alec Murray was the Charming, Funny, Sociable one compared to Lachlan MacKay who was more Serious, Broody, Closed Off and Reserved.

While in Scotland Chloe was in for a treat. Lustful thoughts, non-stop flirting and playful banter led her where she never imagined being; in her bosses bed. Alec was onboard with claiming Chloe was their Fated Mate but Lachlan wasn't convinced that fate chose a human mate for them. Chloe was an absolute sweetheart and she made both men feel like they hung the moon. Until she learned the TRUTH!!!

I commend Chloe because it's not everyday a young woman learns that she is the Fated Mate to two powerful Dragons. Not just any dragons. Due to female dragons dying out centuries ago, Dragons of the past found mates amongst themselves but even during that pairing something was missing. As a result; the Paired/Mated Dragons of the past began to claim females of a different species. This resulted in Alec being Dragon/Fae and Lachlan being Dragon/Werewolf. This is what made them such powerful beings.

Alec & Lachlan knew that by having Chloe as a Mate put a target on her back but little did the Triad know they were in for a surprise of their own when it was later revealed that Chloe was not ordinary human. I was hoping for a little more action and maybe more character interaction with the triad and other individuals but nonetheless this was an enjoyable, quick read.

If you can get past the MM sex scenes and focus on the Friendship, Love and Adoration between the 3 lovers then you will be in for a treat. Chloe's mental monologue alone is enough to keep you smiling.

Loyalty, Honesty, Trust, Devotion, Protectiveness, Possessiveness and Love is what lead this Triad to a HEA.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Sadly just very mid
dark emotional fast-paced

When Chloe catches her fiancée cheating on her at the airport terminal where she's about to embark on a business trip, her dream vacation turns into a nightmare. What choice does she have but to fly to Scotland with her two smoking hot bosses? Fortunately for her, both Alec and Lachlan are ready to help her forget... in the best way possible. She's special to them, and they're willing to show her exactly how special... despite the huge secret they are carrying.

I picked this book because I'm trying to finish an ABC challenge and needed a 'K' book. However, I was not prepared for how pleasant this story would be. It has just the right amount of plot, spice, and issues. I found it to be an enjoyable quick read.

Chloe is kind of negative about herself, and I wish Alec and Lachlan had spent some time building up her confidence. However, towards the end of the book, she comes into a bit of power and it turns her viewpoint around. Love to see it!

Pretty fun dragon shifter story

I did not realize this was a fantasy book until they announced they were dragons so that was a fun surprise.

Love the premise. I think it felt a little short in places, could have been a longer book giving time for more to build their relationship, maybe now back story.

I would read another. Fun time!
