Powertools #3
Kayla's Gift
One blizzard, two days, three men to keep her warm.
"Powertools, Book 3"
Naked is Kayla's style. She's exposed to bare skin more than the average person-like when she's up to her elbows in massage oil, soothing the tired muscles of the construction crew building her new spa, a barter to offset some of the cost. Once it's finished, she plans to open a private retreat for fellow naturists.
It should be a routine service. Yet for some reason, caressing the man on her table is blurring her normally crystal-clear distinction between nudity and sexuality. And stirring up kinky fantasies involving the rest of the crew.
She never intended to share details about her lifestyle-slash-business plan, not even with the open-minded, sexy crew. But when a faulty truck engine and one hell of a snowstorm trap the three men at her cabin, heat sears away her cover story-and her inhibitions.
Cocooned in blissful isolation, Dave, Neil and James show her that passion knows no barrier, with or without clothing. Leaving Kayla wondering if two days of mutual satisfaction will ever be enough...
Warning: This book features a m/m/m/f menage hot enough to melt an entire blizzard's worth of snow and ice.

This book was freaking delicious
April 7, 2011
If you’re going to get snowed in with a trio of construction workers, count yourself blessed if it happens to be the three remaining single members of Jayne Rylon’s Power Tools crew. The previous two books in this yummy series were sizzling with the sexual tension and sheet action but I have to say I think Kayla’s Gift maybe my favorite.
Kayla is a naturist with a plan to develop the private land around her home into a spa and retreat for like minded "clothing optional" people. Her kindness and free spirit are just a couple of the qualities that attract the attention of construction crew mates and best friends Dave, James and Neil. Kayla has no idea just how open-minded and close these guys are but due to an “unforeseen” circumstance she gets the opportunity to experience their relationship up close and in person.
Ms. Rylon completely captured my attention with the first book in the Power Tools series, Morgan’s Surprise. The reader is introduced to the close knit and uninhibited construction crew that one by one have each discovered the loves of their lives and briefly sharing that love with the rest of the crew. One of the particulars about the series that I’ve enjoyed is that there isn’t jealousy between the women who are introduced to the group. You know that they don’t regret the experience of being with the other men but are totally in love with each book's chosen hero. This holds true with book three as Kayla and Dave realize their own special connection and then enjoy the time they have with James and Neil.
If you have no objection to the M/M interaction you will surely enjoy the love between James and Neil. There is a fourth book in the series already planned and you get a little teaser towards that plot when Dave relates a vivid dream he has while at Kayla’s house. I can’t wait!!
This has been one of my favorite series and each new book is much anticipated. While I can’t wait to see who Ms. Rylon pairs with James and Neil (they have to be a package deal, believe me!) I’ll be a little sad to see the end of the power tool books. When you become that invested in a storyline you know you have discovered a real gem. Pick up a copy of Kayla’s Gift even if you’ve not read the other two the series. I think you’ll be burning up the internet to add them to your TBR list after you realize what a terrific group of stories Ms. Rylon has penned.

OMG!! I am sooo luvin' Jayne Rylon's series with 'The Crew'. This installment is w/Kayla, who has hired the crew to help her build her dream spa/resort. Three of the Crew members, Neil, James, and Dave find themselves snowed in w/Kayla, where they spend a HOT weekend together. VERY HOT!!! I do believe the term 'yum-0-licious' was used!! This is a quick fun read with m/m/m/f scenes that will fog up your glasses!! Can't wait for the next in the series!! Highly recommend!!
Fav scenes/quotes:
"You could be our dessert! Who needs TV?"
"Leave your clothes on. Every stich. We're going to make her scream. Blow her mind. Steal all her rational thought without showing a hint of skin."
"There's a lot of eye candy in this room."
"She looks like an angel & f*cks like the devil."

Alright. Just buy them all. This one was really good. REALLY. I felt more of an emotional connection to the crew here. Maybe because by now I feel like I know them now. At least I can keep their names straight. We get glimpses of the past couples. I am hooked. Off to start book 4!
LOTS of sex. Lots of good yummy sex down by the fire. 4 stars.

Read years ago. I will be reading it again and leaving a proper review for all of the books in the Original Crew stories. That's my 2021 goal. Maybe I'll get to Hot Rides and Hot Rods series, too.

This one wasn’t even funny anymore. Pure garbage.

Kayla's Gift is the third installment in Jayne Rylon's sexy Powertools series and I'm dying to read Neil and Jame's book, but first Morgan's Surprise xD Now now, the reason I jumped to the third is because I only have books one and three. They're borrowed books, thanks again Steph! ;)
In book three of the Powertools series, we meet Kayla, a nudist at heart, and we welcome back the sexy five men crew: Mike, Dave, Joe, Neil and James. This time around, they're working on a mountain cabin where Kayla hopes to one day open a nudist spa for not only herself to be free, but also her fellow nudists. But when giving these men massages to help lighten the cost of her bill, Kayla starts to doubt whether she knows the difference between nudity and sexuality. After a freak snowstorm traps her, Neil, James and Dave in her cabin, all bets are off when the men are determined to show her that passion knows no bounds with or without clothing.
Well damn, here we are again with another of Ms Rylon's short but definitely sexy reads! I loved this book! She definitely takes quartet to a whole new level! The chemistry between Kayla and Dave was amazing, and Neil and James' love can be read in the glances they steal from each other every now again. What I enjoyed was the easy camaraderie these men share and their reluctance to be ashamed of their sensuality. I think that's what I'm loving the most while reading this series, it's that they don't just talk the talk, they walk the walk as well. They EMBRACE their sexual preferences and enjoy every minute of it. I mean, am I the only one who finds this sexy?
I enjoyed Kayla's character much more than I did Kate's in Book 1, Kate's Crew. She's far more open minded and daring with her sexuality. At first, she's reluctant to share with these men that she's a nudist, but after having shared with her that they sometimes not only share women together, but also enjoy sex with each other, she lets them in on her dirty little secret.. And helloo menage-four! ;) Ms Rylon sure knows how to fog up my glasses with such vivid descriptions!
I loved seeing Dave show his woman love, and indulging her in pleasure, and allowing her to venture out and explore her curiosity. And watching Neil and James join in on the action was definitely hot and just as riveting as watching all five men with Kate!
There was more insight into the characters with this book, which I enjoyed a lot! Getting to know the characters and falling in lust with them is an added bonus for me. It had it's down moment, but it's easily overlooked. Can't wait to get started on book 2 so I can finally read on to Neil and James' story! :D

Oh boy, we were treated to more story with our sex!! It was nice to get a little more into the guys and more on the gal they are digging. Once again there is a variety of action one on one, some boy boy play and one killer double team!! Yummy!!
I was really interested in the byplay of the guys and would love to know if the group action continues after they pair up with their gal. Do they play the swingers game and the ladies play with each other occasionally or is it strictly a twosome when they get serious?
This story had a touch of drama here and there to kick the story segment up a notch. But really it is about the hot and heavy and I would not pass up a chance to be naked and plied with attention from three hot guys! I need to fan my face just thinking about all the smexy action in this book!

What can I say about KAYLA'S GIFT other than I can't wait for the next one. With the release of each book I want to start at the beginning and read all of the yummy goodness all over again.
Jayne Rylon packs a punch in a short number of pages. Solid relationships, smokin sex scenes and places I can imagine.

Another nice installment. I think it was a little bit hotter than the other two just because it was a smaller group... more intimate. I do think it's funny that the guys conspired to get Dave and Kayla together. Seems like a good match -- she likes to be naked, and he likes her that way, lol. I'm glad it worked out in the end.
January 16, 2012
This was the least fav of the series for me. I really didn't get Kayla and thought she was weird in that she wanted to run around naked all the time. I also didn't feel the relationship between her and Dave either.
January 21, 2017
Ok I read the rest of the series all together so I'm reviewing it as a whole... so all have their soulmate but love to indulge in swapping m/m or f/f or complete orgies but whatever gets them off right??? There is a story too so not just porn ....
May 4, 2011
Read the next book in the series in one day. I really enjoyed this book. I am looking forward to James and Neil.

Kayla has a crew working on constructing a quaint log cabin to house her future lakeside retreat. She's especially drawn to Dave but a couple of the other guys have played a part in her fantasies as well. When a snow storm arrives and two of the other guys head for home truck issues leave Dave, Neil and James stranded to wait out the storm with Kayla.
When Kayla reveals why she's been tugging at her clothes the guys encourage the naturalist to get comfy, and before long all four are sans clothing. One thing leads to another and Dave gently convinces Kayla to let go and take what she wants, give what she wants, and before long it's one incredibly HOT orgy of bodies enjoying each other.
But a stupid decision by the guys may destroy the feelings that had been building in Kayla for weeks.

This series is different, the writing and plot very good. The characters were, funny, sweet, romantic and certainly live by the beat of their own drum. Lots is steam as well.
It should be noted that this series and the one it spins off from is what I would call “committed swinging/orgies”. I thought it was just an MMMF.
I’m not sure it is something I would like to read again. It seems like a more casual way of looking outside your two/three person relationship and because it’s confined to a closed group it’s all good. And if that’s what you like then nothing wrong with it at all. It’s just not for me.
This DOES NOT detract from how good the story is or the authors talent. I will definitely read this author again just not from this series
**Not sure if this is truly spoilers, I just don’t want to ruin the book for anyone.

The crew was hot, hot, hot once again!
No matter the circumstances surrounding everything, I really liked how Dave, Kayla, Neil & James came together during the snowstorm. I loved how open Kayla was, her business venture & the possibilities of her being with some of the girls of the crew in the future.
I think the only thing that irked me (just a little bit) was that Dave & Kayla didn't get the chance to "connect" before she experienced the passion of the crew. I, of course, loved the connection all of them had together but some one-on-one time to establish their relationship would've been nice first.
On to the next book in the series, Devon's Pair. I'm super curious to see how Devon will permanently win over both Neil AND James! :)

Another hot, steamy book from the Powertools series. Snowed in with the hunk you've been eyeing for weeks and his two hot friends? Everything can go right, but can it go terribly wrong? Dave's the first guy Kayla's thought a tomorrow with so can indulging her fantasy shoot that down before it even gets started? Luckily Dave is a man who knows what they both want and will move heaven and earth to see that it happens, for both of them. There's a peek at previous couples and maybe a bit of foreshadowing of the future of the Crew. The sex is hot and steamy no matter what the temperature is outside. Can't wait to read the next book.

Yummy!
This one was a little longer than the last couple and It was nice having less characters to concentrate on. I thought the blowup at the end, over the misunderstanding was a little unnecessary. Neil could have simply explained it and they could have gone back to sexy fun times for another 12-18 hours.

Another hot little story about the Powertools crew. This time, the crew is working on building a spa resort for Kayla. But when the snow starts pouring down and their car breaks down before they can even take off, Dave, James, and Neil are trapped with Kayla until the roads clear and they can get their car fixed.
This was quite steamy good, like the previous Powertools quickies. But, I didn't like this one as much. It seemed faster and more rushed than the previous stories. I am, however, really looking forward to the final story about James and Neil, and the mysterious Devon, whoever she is. :)
But, if you're into menege erotica with some m/m action as well, then you'll love this little quickie (and this whole little series).

Kayla has a naturist spa that the gang is helping her set up for business. When a storm traps Dave, Neil and James at Kayla's home/spa...things get a little natural pretty quickly. It might be cold outside, but things are heating up indoors. More adventures with the gang!

Can't say it enough
The books in this series are hot. Not just hot, but smoking. The romance is interwoven so skillfully that you almost could miss it. But nevertheless it's there. So enjoy and happy reading.

1.5/5 - Points for the true polyamory here. It was just a bit of an odd plot for me. Granted, I started with this one - the third one. Writing isn't great. The men don't have much personality. But, considering it is just a short smut book, you get what you pay for!

Just gets better and better.
3 guys 1 girl heaven!!!¡!!
The best bit about these books is they jump straight in, no build up. They are short and sweet. Less then 100 pages.
Can't wait for the next one
