[Siren Ménage Erotic Ménage a Quatre Romance, M/F/M/M, with paranormal elements, HEA]
Brooke Marsh is at death's door and suffering from exposure when she is rescued by Special Force operatives Coulter, Trace, and Corbin Thornell.
Coulter, Trace, and Corbin are members of the Elite Dragons, working and living together under the cover of running a horse stud with nine other operatives.
The three brothers are called in to rescue three women who have been abducted and carried over the border into Canada. They find the women, and even though Brooke is unconscious, they are all drawn to her.
They vow to protect her and find the leaders of the black market organ traders and take them down. But that isn’t the only threat to the woman they have feelings for. Can they find the spies amongst them and keep the women safe? Or will they be too late and lose everything?
There is no sexual relationship or touching for titillation between or among siblings.
My name is Becca Van. I live in Australia with my wonderful hubby of many years, as well as my children, a pigeon pair (a girl and a boy). I have always wanted to write and last year decided to take the plunge.
I didn’t want to stay in the mainstream of a boring nine-to-five job, so I quit to fulfill my passion for writing. I decided to utilize my time with something I knew I would enjoy and had always wanted to do. I submitted my first manuscript to Siren-BookStrand a couple of months ago; and much to my excited delight, I got a reply saying they would love to publish my story. I literally jump out of bed with excitement each day and can’t wait for my laptop to power up so I can get to work.
One for three is the first book in an exciting new series with some unforgettable men. These heroes will leave you begging for more. Brooke was just one of the women who have recently been captured and thrown into a cold basement for unknown reasons. She does her best to survive and stay alert, but hope starts to dwindle as the girls slowly succumb to hypothermia. They are saved by Special Force operatives who have been sent in search of the missing women. During their rescue the three brothers Coulter, Trace, and Corbin Thornell notice a strong pull toward Brooke. Once everyone is safe they start to grow fond of Brooke and begin to court her. Unfortunately there is a leak in their midst and now they are on a race against time to find them and keep the women safe. This was a fast paced and fun start to what promises to be a great new series. The writing was really well done and there were a few surprises along the way as well. I was kept guessing on who the leak was until the very end. Brooke is a kind and strong woman who is used to getting by on her own. I liked that she kept her independent spirit even after the ordeal she had been through. She really gave the brothers a run for their money when it came to stubbornness as well and that led to some interesting fights and make up sessions. The boys are all wonderful men who have kind hearts, but they are all very dominant and I had a great time seeing how Brooke handled them. “One for Three” is a fun fast paced adventure with some sexy heroes readers would love to take home!

Entertaining story. I was not sure initially if i would like this one, but thought it was quite fun and would definitely pick up more in the series.
This book was almost painful to read at times. The lines were lame, story was too simple, not to mention all the men lacked CHARACTER. There was BARELY any character to ANY of them, and I grimaced when they went on about ''I love you baby, darlin', honey, sugar''. It was just... no. The steam was hot, sure, but that was it. But being merciful, I gave it two stars as it was my first menage, and I can somewhat live with that.
I might MAYBE one day read another book from this author, but this isn't my cup of tea. It was just way too simple.
I'm currently at 48% and I'm having trouble finishing this book. I love a good smut book as much as the next person, but this one is horrible. Unbelievable story line with roll-your-eyes dialog. What virgin that has been kidnapped and held in a freezing basement for 8 days is going to want to lose her virginity to 3 men at the same time that she barely knows? Really?? Plus the author's description of a ménage was ridiculous! (I won't even repeat it) All in all, don't waste your money, even if it was only .99.
Even though this novel isn’t without its flaws, I must say I really enjoyed it. The relationship between Brooke and her men, despite developing a bit too fast, was fun to read about and the surrounding ‘mystery’ was equally as intriguing. I was a bit baffled by the extra paranormal elements the author threw in – they hardly seemed necessary – but am looking forward to the next in the series and hope it’s as good as if not better than this one.
Brooke is kidnapped and on the verge of death when she is rescued by the Elite Dragons. Coulter, Trace and Corbin are the leaders and feel a connection with Brooke. The team takes all the girls they rescued to their farm so they are safe and recover. While Brooke is recovering, she is kidnapped again. She must trust her men to save her again.
I love to read anything by this author. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
this is a good start to a series, alittle too "I'm the big alpha in charge" for me though. Made me wanna toss a few guys on their butts. lol But I was slightly confused about the guys I thought they were "real dragon shifters" not like a call sign dragon team. It took me alittle bit to get that factor. Id still recommend it. But just saying ladies they are not dragon shifters..
Becca Van has definitely become one of my favorite ménage authors. She balances hot sex scenes and story lines so well. I loved this book, it had some surprising twists just when I thought I had it all figured out. Great book can wait to read the rest in the series.
I enjoyed it but something was just off for me. There is not anything I can put my finger on as a reason why but I just did not love it. The story and ménage thing is something I usually enjoy but I just did not like this one. No idea why...
Book one..well she tried, but not quite there. The heroine is not strong. In fact she's really submissive. She only stands up for herself twice. The guys are not really lovable either, just bossy. But he men all the same.
3.5 stars Nice start to this series and I liked all the characters. Seriously though, doesn't anyone think about birth control. I guess let the chips fall where they may. lol
It was all right ot one of her better though. Sometimes the female lead behaved like a child. Also she was tstl. We all know what that means. Too stupid to live. Just so awkward at times.
It started out with such promise. But it all went downhill from there. These enhanced soldiers mentioned their gifts, but didn't really use them except during the op. Empathy was used, but that's about it.These women are traumatized. Why would they jump into a relationship with not one but 3 guys??? The money angle was interesting, but felt like the book just wasn't long enough.If you want an quick romance, this one's for you.
