Moonrise by Cassidy Hunter tells the story of Selene who is starting a new life for herself after escaping her abusive ex-husband. Once in the town of Moonrise, Selene notices something a bit strange about the residents but can't quite put her finger on what it is. Soon she discovers that she's in a town full of shifters and two of them - wolves - have decided to claim her as theirs and offer her protection.
I do enjoy a good menage in my reading from time to time. However, I'm not a fan of menages where the men decide to "share" the woman. To allow the woman to sleep with another man in order for her to be able to make a more "informed" decision as to who she will choose in the end is one thing. To decide that she can be passed back and forth between the two is something entirely different. At least to me. Maybe it's because in my opinion, a true alpha male doesn't share. I also don't care to read menages where the two men engage in sexual play with one another. I'm learning that it's just not my thing. Again this revolves around my concept of a true alpha male.
Moonrise contained both of these elements. Aside from the sharing and the m/m interaction, Cassidy Hunter writes good erotica. There was no real character development - the story focused more on the claiming of Selene by her protectors and the lengths they would go to in order to protect her - when they weren't all swapping bodily fluids with one another. Which was often. I would have liked to have read more about the character of Michael and how he ended up in Trey's care as well as how the town of Moonrise came to be. Fairly short, Moonrise is a decent read featuring lots of menage sex. Lots.

Selene is on the run from an abusive relationship. Her money, gas, car and courage are running out, and she is desperate to get a job and stop running.
Trey is the owner of the Crescent. He is a wolf shifter and alpha male. Strong and forceful, he is also protective and has a soft spot for the underdog. Michael is Trey’s mate and the cook at the Crescent. Abused in the past, he is a bit of a loner, strong and handsome in a brooding sort of way.
Moonrise is the end of the line for Selene. She has been running for a long time and is in need of a place to call home. The welcome mat is not exactly out for her. In fact, she is told in no uncertain terms to leave. Her salvation comes in the person of Trey, who gives her a job, a place to stay. Then he realizes she is his mate, as well as his partner Michael’s, love.
Moonrise is an interesting town I am happy to have visited in this story. Selene is in a bad situation, but her spirit is not broken. In Trey and Michael, she finds love and protection. Michael is also a kindred soul who understands what she has been through. The story is well written, with great characters and a plot that reads quickly and smoothly. The relationship between the main characters develops quickly, and they seem to be made for each other. Moonrise is a well-constructed story with suspense, romance and shape-shifting alpha males, always a great combination.

This book. This is a smut filled book that beyond unrealistic. The female character just left an abusive relationship, but is okay with a man she met once walking up to her naked in the woods and having sex with her. Then she just accepts living in a house with two men after her abusive relationship. The book repeatedly tells how traumatized she is because of her past relationship, but then throws her into situations that would only cause more trauma. I love a good fantasy/paranormal with lots of smut, but this was over the top and did not handle the domestic violence issue well.

I was picking up some of the free titles from Ravenous Romance at All Romance Ebooks and decided to splurge, buying this title as well. I don't regret the spending the money because the sex (m/m/f) was very hot, but there was only the barest bones of a plot. There was no character development or world building at all. If you're looking for an actual story featuring a threesome in the paranormal genre, check out Lauren Dane's Triad or Trinity.

Pretty much a cliche. The cover did me in, but the story was lacking. Not really much character development. The sex was okay, the plot was weak. This is no more than what I would expect from a full of cliches erotic romance. Alpha males, abusive ex, menage, steamy sex and shifters is what you can find in this book. For those who like a quick and meaningless read, go ahead and read it, but if you are looking for a richer book, stay away.

This was such a good book and I liked how she was accepted into the small town of Moonriver when from day one she was shunned. Even though this book was small, I would love for it to be the start of a series.
