OMG! Absolutely yes! I have to say that I often feel like the theme of sex clubs has become a bit overused. However, my thoughts did not apply to this particular book at all. In fact, I found myself completely, finishing it in a single day because I simply couldn't put it down. This was my first experience with Mandy as an author, but I can confidently say she's one whose future works I am eager to dive into.

The story revolves around Camila and Luke, a couple attending counseling in an effort to repair their marriage. As they navigate their challenges, an unexpected conversation arises when Luke reveals that he has a desire to explore being submissive in their intimate life. This honesty between them sparks a series of discussions, with Camila expressing her willingness to experiment with this dynamic. To truly understand, she even takes the initiative to conduct some research, about BDSM and related practices.

Together, they make the bold decision to visit a sex club, hoping to learn more about this new territory and to connect with a professional. It is at this club that they meet Genevieve, a captivating and confident femdom. Right from the start, there is an undeniable attraction among the three of them, creating a dynamic that is both complex and intriguing. As Camila and Luke begin to attend private classes with Genevieve, the lessons quickly evolve into something far more profound and transformative.

What I particularly appreciated about this narrative is its exploration of not just the physical aspects of their experiences, but also the emotional layers that come into play. Genevieve, who is accustomed to entering contract relationships, finds herself drawn to this married couple in a way she hadn't anticipated, ultimately choosing not to impose a contract on their interaction. This decision invites a richer exploration of their desires, boundaries, and the shifting power dynamics between them.

Throughout the book, I loved how the characters navigated their feelings—both together and individually. Their journey is not merely about exploring new sexual territories; it’s also about deepening their understanding of themselves and each other. The way they communicate and grow throughout this process made the reading experience incredibly enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone looking for a unique take on relationships and intimacy.

Marriage in trouble is my absolute favorite trope. This book is about a marriage that was in jeopardy but the husband and wife decided to fight to stay together. In this book we have Camilla and Luke who are in the middle of couples therapy. The book opens on the day that Luke has admitted to Camilla that he would like to be dominated. Camilla is anxious, worried but willing to give this a chance. They get a recommendation from a friend of a woman that teaches classes on domination. Camilla and Luke attend the class and afterwards she tries to dominate him, not very effectively but she tries. Now Genevieve the instructor has just lost her two subs so she looking for someone to replace them but, she doesn’t want to be involved with them while they are in therapy, she doesn’t want to affect their marriage. This is a very emotional book. We have a couple struggling to for fill each other’s needs and yet still get what they want. Luke is a true cinnamon roll to me so sweet, loving and caring about how his needs may affect his wife. Camilla is a woman who grew up thinking her role was to be subservient to her husband and she is constantly apologizing. Genevieve wants to have a sexual relationship with them but she has a hard time connecting to others emotionally. A great book with some very steamy sex scenes.

Invested. At first I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get into this storyline but holy moly did that change. Once it got rolling for me it just didn't stop. I became so invested in Camila, Luke, and Genevieve's story. The love and passion. Exploration. Trust. Growth. Acceptance. Freedom of being yourself. Changing. I haven't ever read a story like this before and I enjoyed it. The writing was beautifully done and the story flow was perfect. Mandy is a new author to me and I'll definitely be back for more of her writing!

Theirs by Mandy Muse is the second book in the Possession series. This book is about the exploration of self and kink. So, I know that I already love Mandy Muse's writing and stories. I love the queer and poly relationships that she has in most books! I really enjoyed the self-exploration and finding out what you want, not just in sex but in their lives and the support that they took to get there! This book was extremely hot and fun to read. Mandy Muse has a knack for writing stories that have heavier elements but still make the book feel like a warm hug, and that shows so much love and support pouring out of these horrible moments. I loved these main characters. Genevieve being Domme was everything; she is literally a dream! Luke and Camila are married and exploring, and I loved the banter between all these people. It was fun and flirty! This book is an absolute must-read, and I would also recommend Mandy Muse's other work!

*Thank you, Mandy Muse, for the Advanced Copy to read and review

A story of exploration and discovery.

Note: this book is intended for mature readers.

This author brings out hit after hit, and this one is no exception! 

This story’s biggest theme follows discovery and exploration, and the characters’ journey into deeper  feelings and experiences made for a spicy read! 

The characters face real troubles that felt so honest, yet at the same time the entertainment factor is real.
The chemistry was organic, and it’s so easy to love these characters for their flaws, fears and more!

The story contains overcoming communication issues, new experiences, and shifts in perspective. It had elements that were sweet, romantic, heartfelt and spicy.

The author did a great job!

I haven't read many FFM books but after reading this one, I am a fan. Luke and Camilla are in couple's therapy and are working on their marriage. They were on the verge of divorce after some things happen to them but are getting better with therapy. While in a session, Luke blurts out that he wants to be dominated by Camilla. Camilla is taken by surprise by this but after talking more with him is curious to try this.

They find Genevieve through a friend of Luke's (Vincent from Ours book one in this Possession Series). She is a dominatrix and teaches classes on being a dominant. 

Genevieve enjoys her work but makes sure she keeps feelings out of it but there is something about this couple. Reading the three of them together was just so good. There was the spicy scenes but there was also a vulnerability for all of them. Genevieve didn't want to ruin any part of their marriage and Luke and Camilla were both learning things about themselves too.

Such a great book on fear, love, and just rawness in a relationship. Read this book.

I absolutely adored this book!! The dynamic and the chemistry between Genevieve, Luke and Camila was delicious. I just loved all of them so very much. First of all, I love reading about couples that work on the their relationship. Luke and Camila went to therapy together, were honest and tried to improve the communication between them and this made me root for them from chapter one. They loved each other so much that they were open to try new things and explore their desires. And that's how they met Genevieve. In the beginning she was their teacher and even though there was attraction and chemistry they took things slowly and were cautious.
It was easier for Luke and Camila to accept their feelings for Genevive but it wasn't so simple for her and it made sense and it was realistic. I felt for Genevieve, she was such a complex and beautiful character. I loved her and I wanted to hug her and reassure her. Her character growth was brilliant and I really really liked the moments she gave control to Camila. I just adored everything about this book. I want to read more from the author. I highly highly recommend it.
