I went from reading a romance featuring lawyers that I thought was quite realistic in their lawyering, to a romance (or maybe erotica) featuring lawyers that made me screech “this is so many lawsuits waiting to happen!” 🫣 The contrast was too much.

A Daring Desire is the fourth title in the Dare Ménage series written by Jeanne St. James.
*MMF relationship
*Bi-awakening
*NFL player & Defense Attornies
This is my first title by this author and WOW! This book was super hot from the very first chapter!
Rayne and Gryff work together in the same law practice. They are hired to take on Trey’s aggravated assault case and develop an instalust relationship with him.
Very well written but the last third of the book was very dramatic. Thankfully there was no third act breakup, just some serious discussions about how their relationship should work.
Format: Libby audiobook

Characters: Rayne (FMC) & Gryff and Trey (MMC)
I've love all of the books in this series thus far, but this one had me laughing a lot more than the others while keeping the steaminess. Loved this group of MC's and the love and respect they all found for each other
I think sometimes authors let their series go to long and they lose their steam. Every one of Jeanne St James's proves me wrong! This 4th book in her Dare Menage series is incredible. We have Gryff, a lawyer who is attracted to his associate, Rayne. He will never act on it as she is his employee. Gryff's brother, Grey who we met previously has a colleague, Trey, who is in trouble, and goes to Gryff for help. Now Rayne is attracted to both men, and Trey feels a pull to Gryff. But can these three be in a relationship? St James masterfully weaves her web of love around these three. We not only get steamy love scenes, but she has us experiencing the inner turmoil and increasing feelings of all three. It's always a pleasure to have a book like this that has some significance and purpose. There is also a great integration of characters from previous books, giving us the feeling of familiarity. Loved it and can't wait to see her next one!
Once again, the narration of this book is spot on! St James is an expert at matching her characters to voices. Sean Crisden as Gryff is so good! He brings uncertainty to this menage, but never lets his machismo down. Trey portrayed by JF Harding brings this outwardly confident man to life, but never lets his vulnerability and insecurity hide completely. And these two glued together by the amazing voices of Ava Lucas, with her main focus as Rayne brings the story to life. She is one of the best with her understanding of her characters so well that the voices are always perfectly portrayed. Could not have been better!

What happens when the person you want the most also wants someone else? Gryff is in lust with Rayne, a lawyer in his firm. He finds it hard to concentrate when she is in the room. When the firm takes on Trey's self defense case, the cocky football star gets under both of their skins. The result was the hottest menage I have read to date. Gryff is unsure of his feelings for Trey and Rayne will not choose between the two men. Their relationship comes together in a sensual, emotional connection that was a pleasure to read. Jeanne St. James has done it again. I highly recommend this book.
I really enjoyed this story. The characters were interesting and the story well written. I liked how the characters meshed together. It's not easy with 3 people and I thought it was well done. They all fit together and need the differences each bring to the relationship but they have quite a few challenges in order to make a go of it. The sex is explicit and it is m/m/f. It was well done and I thought blended into the story well and fit the characters. There was plenty going on in the story to keep you engaged and entertained. It pulled me in from the beginning and kept my attention until the end. It's a good length and we get to know the characters pretty well. This is the first book I've read by this author but I'll definitely be on the lookout for more of her stuff.

Honestly one of the only few times I wish there wasn't an HEA or at least a much more hard fought HEA. I get that isn't really what this book is about but some of the inner monologue and actions of Gryff should have gotten so much more grief than they did. It was super disappointing how you could always tell how much more he wanted Rayne over Trey. I really wish I could have liked this one as much as the others.
This MMF book was a hot read.
Gryffin and Trey are better developed characters because how their childhoods shaped the people they became is explained. Rayne is a character with no backstory/childhood. But this does not detract from the relationship that develops between them.
The sex was smoking and yet also sweet and tender at times.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
