Wicked Temptations: Key Party
Isabela
My life hasn’t been mine for three years, ever since my parents died in a car accident. I live under the veil of my uncle’s demands, never knowing when he’ll ask me to do something that will break my spirit.
School is the only place I can be away from his prying eyes. But even there I have a teacher that makes me insane. Nothing I do is good enough for Dr. Gael Murphy, but he doesn’t understand I’m just trying to survive.
Everything becomes worse when my uncle decides to sell me to the highest bidder.
Seeking a distraction, I join a Key Party. I need to have one night where I can be myself without all of the pain.
Never in my wildest dreams could I ever believe who pulls my key.

I really enjoyed this book, it’s a bit darker than the other books I’ve read in this shared world, but that made me love it more. Isabela is such a strong FMC who has had to deal with the worst things happening to her but little does she know that will all change one night when she makes a decision that changes her world for the better. I wasn’t sure if I’d enjoy the fact that Aria and Gael are married and bring Isa into their relationship but the way they both care and cherish her soon changed my mind. The ending of this book was everything I could have hoped for for the three of them. Great book.

I liked Isa as a character. She endured alot of things within her life and took it in stride and still came out over top. The relationship of these characters is everything and I loved reading about those three.

Isabela is a good FFM story. The spice throughout the book was superb. The relationship development between Isabela, Aria and Gael was excellent. I love how they fell together and how their dynamic was maintained throughout the whole story. I also loved the growth Isabela showed across the story. How she went from this resigned victim to this strong fighter and victim advocate. The story had a great plot but I felt like the bulk of the action was done too early in the story, leaving too much of the story to deal with feelings and tying loose ends. However, the story had a strong ending with a satisfying conclusion.

Whew
Isabela has gone through it. She can't trust anyone or so, she thinks. Then she tries to gain a little control of her life and go to a key party and grumpy Dr Murphy, her ex professor and his wife draw her key. After many trials and tribulations, they eventually get their HEA.

I absolutely loved this steamy why choose romance novel! The storyline was dynamic. The heat between the main characters was explosive. I loved the FMF aspect. The plot was intense and dark at times, and it had me gripping the pages. Highly recommended for those who like it scorching hot!

These key party stories are fantastic and Isabela is no exception to this rule! I have read a few, and will certainly need to get my hands on the others, especially if they are as good as this one!
What I loved about this story was that Isabela was a very strong, FMC- she had no choice. Having been orphaned and her inheritance being held by her uncle, who is a nasty man, she is doing everything she can to survive. When life throws a curveball her way and forces her hand, she does the only thing she can think of to take control over once decision and sign up for the key party. What she didn't plan on was Professor Gael Murphy and his wife Aria to be there, let alone be the couple she would spend the night with. Will one night be enough for all three or are they stating down a dangerous path they won't survive.
Each of these stories is dark (which I love) and this one was no exception, so check those trigger warnings before reading. I know Gael was meant to come off as a jerk, but for some reason I loved him right from the beginning. His relationship with Aria is so strong, and you get that sense from the moment you start reading, but what I really loved were the hints of strength in the relationship he was forming with Isabela as well. They certainly both knew how to get under each others skin and push each others buttons and let me tell you, when that pushing boiled over the edge- fireworks. On top of Gael's strong side, it was nice to see his more caring and nurturing side as well. For someone who is no nonsense, doesn't care at the university, he certainly had a soft side for Aria and eventually Isabela as well that was a good balance for his domineering side.
While there are certainly moments between all three of the MC's, I found myself loving the moments that were just two of the MC's- particularly between Aria and Isabela and Gael and Isabela. Gael and Aria already had such a strong connection, rightfully so since they are married, that it was refreshing to see them work as hard as they did to form that unique bond individually with Isabela. I think it really solidified their desire to have a relationship with her and provided moments of humor and romance in an otherwise somewhat dark tale. It was beautifully done and I loved getting to grow with them all as a couple as well as individually.
Great addition to this world and if you have started this world and haven't continued, you really should do so. These stories are all so easy to read and are realistic on top of that.

This is my first Jenn Bullard book and I'm hooked. Gael is the perfect Daddy and his girls love everything he does. A quick read with an excellent, suspenseful and entertaining plot. Deep and intriguing characters that make you love them or hate them. An unconventional love story that grabs you and won't let you go.

hot stuff
Jenn you have done it again. I feel it is rare to find authors who write FF interactions and relationships well, even in the context of a MFF relationship but Jenn is one of those authors who consistently just gets it right.
This is part of the wider Wicked Temptation Key Party series and having already read the previous instalments I was pleased that Isabella easily felt part of the same world. It is a massive pet peeve when there are inconsistencies in a shared world and so far all authors have done a great job on this point.
I adored Isabela, Aria and Gael. The action starts quickly in this book and we see how horribly trapped and treated Isabela is by her uncle. Please check your triggers on this point as it is upsetting to read but handled with respectful sensitivity and necessary to understand the wider story. Isabela attends the key party hoping to have some last freedom before she is sold off. What she doesn't expect is to meet her grumpy hot professor that has been desperately trying to recruit her in to a secret society and his sizzling wife who Isabela was attracted to upon first meeting. The couple are adventurous, and their individual scenes are hot but they have never been with a woman before. What is supposed to be a night of debauchery turns in to a found family and solid triad developing, with some relationships better than others.
The character development is solid throughout but I particularly enjoyed watching Isabela gain her confidence with the support of Gael and Aria. While it is super spicy, the relationship between all three was captivating and kept me engaged right up until the beautifully satisfying ending.

Our fmc Isabela is working hard trying to finish up her college degree. Her parents have unfortunately passed away and left her in the care of her uncle. They've also left her a fortune too bad her uncle is the one in charge of it. Not so spoiler he's a monster. Seriously awful person who hurts our fmc.
Aria and Gael are happily married. Gael is a professor at the university, and Aria is a romance author. Aria is immediately drawn to Isabela after they meet on campus. Gael is one of Isabela's professors, and he holds a lot of contempt for her in the beginning. He doesn't realize that there's definitely a lot more going on beneath the surface of her situation.
Isabela was both endearing and frustrating. I completely understood why she had trouble opening up or disclosing more information about her home life. At the same time, she's very smart. I couldn't understand why she didn't try to figure out what was going on with her trust since she knew her uncle was shady af.
Gael and Aria were amazing! They're happily married, and I didn't find Isabela's inclusion into their established relationship difficult. Honestly, it was very 🥵. I especially loved Aria. Her and Isabela just clicked from the get-go. Gael was a bit more difficult since he was so mean to her, but he ended up being so caring and protective.
I'm not going to give anything away, but I wasn't expecting all the turns the story took. I can definitely see maybe a spinoff or two with some characters mentioned in this one.

Hooked from the beginning. Jenn has a way of writing that sucks me right in and makes me fall in love with all the characters.
Isa is literally going through it and all she wants is to finish college and have some freedom. She smart, gorgeous and super strong. She's put in a very difficult position but she handles it as best as she can. She's a character that's very easy to like and get a soft spot for. I definitely admire her a lot especially bc of everything that she's doing to help other people ❤
Aria and Gael were amazinggggg. Omg I absolutely loved them. Their relationship was everything and I especially loved how they were with Isa. Even though they've been married for a couple of years when they met Isa she fit in perfectly in their relationship. They all had burning chemistry and an amazing connection. I really loved how Gael was always on top of them and making sure they were good. Need me a Gael irl.
I really appreciated how the author made sure they all had scenes as duos. We got to see them develop a relationship and get close to one another. The love they all had was fantastic it was very obvious to see that they would all do anything for each other.
Besides the romance there's a lot going on behind the scenes that kept me entertained. We also got introduced to some characters that I would love more on. Overall I absolutely enjoyed this one from page one.

Isabela is one of ten books included in the multi author series Wicked Temptation Key Party. This is a FFM story with some steamy scenes.
Isabela has been living a nightmare for the past few years. The only thing keeping her going is her schooling. Her uncle is very controlling about all of her life activities and if she disappoints him in any way he physically abuses her. Her uncle has finally had enough and tells her he is going to sell her to someone. She doesn't want her first time to be like that so she goes to a key party in the hopes of making some good memories to get her through her future problems.
Enter her profession Gael and his wife, Aria. Gael and Aria enjoy sharing each other and have a very kinky lifestyle, but they have never been with a woman before. They go to the key party with the intent on having some fun, not realizing their life was about to change. They need Isabela in their life and will stop at nothing to make sure she is safe and loved.
This was a kinky read, but it was also full of a lot of character development. Isabela goes from someone not expecting a lot out of life and accepting pain to a woman who will face down anyone to become the strong woman she was always meant to be.

Life Can Change In An Instant
Y’all, I’m telling you now…YOU.WANT.TO.READ.THIS!!! I’ll admit, I had no idea this book had an FFM storyline, and if I had known I probably would’ve passed on it. Well, I’m here to tell you that it would’ve been a HUGE loss on my part! This has certainly taught me to be more open to all forms of character combinations…a lesson I won’t forget in the future 😉 As for the book itself…I fell in LOVE…with the characters, the storyline, the emotions, the HEAT 👀🫣🔥 By the time I was done with the first few chapters I didn’t care who the characters were in this book, I just needed to know what happened to Isabela. She grabbed onto my heart & wouldn’t let go until I knew she was going to be ok. Then I met Gael, Isabela’s professor, and his wife Aria, and my interest was piqued even more. This book has everything you could want to keep you entertained…pain, trauma, a secret society, danger, suspense, action; all balanced out sooooo perfectly with passion, chemistry, off the charts spice, a love that 3 people find themselves unexpectedly immersed within, and finding family where it was least expected. Oh yeah, and that epilogue made me cry, so prepare yourself for that 😉😝🥹 Grab this book NOW! You won’t regret it ✨✨✨✨✨

Isabela is written by Jenn Bullard and is part of the Wicked Temptation collection of books written by different authors.
💜 isolated FMC
💜 college
💜 mysteries
💜 controlling uncle
💜 🌶🌶🌶🌶 spice
Isabela wants to go to college to have some sort of freedom to help her make it to age twenty five. This will allow her to be able to gain access to her trust and to run the company her parents left her. As it is, her uncle is running it and is still trying to rule her life with an iron fist of control even while she’s in college. So when he interferes in her life again making it exponentially worse, can she get some form of control back? Will applying to this mysterious key party be her escape even if it’s for a night? What will her life look like afterward?
Reading Jenn Bullard’s works, you never know where the story will take you. But, you are guaranteed to have some spicy times, some sort of revenge, and some downright bad-🍑-ery from the main characters. This book is no exception. I was pulled in from the start and couldn’t wait to get back to the book when I had to take breaks for life, bummer. I loved this book and was sad when it was over. It was such a fun ride.

The FMC Isabela is just trying to survive while being under the guardianship of her uncle who is a horrible abusive human being. She goes through a lot of dark stuff to earn her freedom in this book so make sure to check your triggers. Isabela becomes involved with a married couple (Gael & Aria) who help her find her confidence again and be the bada$$ that she is. Gael, the MMC is a grumpy, possessive, dom daddy who will do anything for Isabela and his wife Aria. I loved the banter between the three of them & how they each have relations with Isabela throughout the book. Jenn wrote their scenes and love story so perfectly. I’m all about spice but I really enjoyed how this book was a good mixture of spicy scenes and plot! Book also ends with a good ending! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good spicy dark romance with secret society, forbidden, ffm vibes.

This part of the Wicked Temptation shared world. You do not need to read the other books in order to read this one.
As always, Jenn Bullard delivers with an outstanding dark romance. Isabela is a college student. Her parents died in a car accident and her uncle became her guardian. Her uncle is an abusive POS. He sells her to the mayor. As a virgin, Isabela decides to take things into her own hands and applies for a key party.
The relationships that develop between Isabela, Gael, and Aria develops quickly and deeply.
The Secret Society that is in the book is called Eagna Society. Isabela is on their radar due to who her parents were and what power she holds being the heiress to her parents’ company. They also are the ones that help her get revenge on her uncle.
The revenge that Isabela gets on her uncle is the best revenge. It's bloody, but it's well deserved for the abuse she went through.
If you're a Jenn Bullard stan (like me), or you enjoy a good dark romance I do believe you'll enjoy Isabela.

Sometimes I read a book and it just hits me right in the feels. There is something special about this book and the way that Jenn can create a world and characters that just stick with you and Isabela was that type of read for me.
Isa is so likeable - you cant help but love this girl. Surviving everything that she does and still being the type of person to care for others. *insert heart eyes*
Aria and Gael are well... can I say perfect? Because they are perfection. I loved their relationship and the way that Isa ultimately fits in so perfectly with them. Their chemistry was top notch and the way Gael was attentive to their needs was *chefskiss*
One thing that I loved most of all was the way in which their relationship developed. It wasnt weird or rushed, it was like it was always meant to be.
I appreciate the chance to read this early - if you need something to read, run and snag this book! you won't regret it!

I think this might be one of my new favorite books...
I wasn't expecting to like it to be honest. I don't typically like ff when the male lead is with book of them.. but there was more than enough attention on the fmc that it worked really well.
I really liked the author's writing style. It kept me interested the entire time. The plot is well done throughout the entire book and makes you not want to out it down.
The fmc was a little confusing since her personality was both traumatized and a bit weak... but also a bad ass at other times.. it just didn't connect well imo.
There is one scene that is extremely graphic and I wish I had skimmed it a bit better because... yikes. BUT it was nice to have the author not shy away from what would be more realistic. White knights don't always show up RIGHT on time... sometimes they are just a bit too late and the fmc will need to heal from what happens to her.

Isabela was not as dark as some of Jenn's other work but it was still just as good. Isabela was living in a nightmare with an abusive uncle making her life hell. School was her only real escape. Then she gets invited to a key party that changes her entire world.
I really loved Gael and Aria's relationship and how they supported each other. They understood what one another needed without question, serious relationship goals there.
I enjoyed the book, I only wish the book was a bit longer. I wanted more...

Isabela was not as dark as some of Jenn's other work but it was still just as good. Isabela was living in a nightmare with an abusive uncle making her life hell. School was her only real escape. Then she gets invited to a key party that changes her entire world.
I really loved Gael and Aria's relationship and how they supported each other. They understood what one another needed without question, serious relationship goals there.
I enjoyed the book, I only wish the book was a bit longer. I wanted more...

"I don't really care for boxes," she chuckles."As you can see, I don't fit into any of them."
Dont be fooled by a seemingly innocent quote. This book is totally the opposite of "vanilla."In true Jenn style, she holds no punches back and hits you with all the angst and dark themes, so you've been warned .I don't normally read FFM, but I have enjoyed Jenn's other books, so I gave it a try. I was not disappointed. This book is written so well, and the characters kept me turning the pages. If you like a dark read with a great storyline filled with lots of twists and turns, this is the book for you.

This is a fast paced, quick read about Isabela who is a college student under the thumb of her controlling uncle. When his horrific plans for Isabela come to light, Isabela decides to take matters into her own hands and attends a key party where she is paired up with her college professor that she thought hated her and his beautiful wife. They all bond quickly and come together to rid Isabela of the evil that is her uncle and the men he has dealings with and grow closer together. Lots of spicy scenes and suspenseful, secret society and what's going to happen next moments to keep the reader invested in the story. Personal growth for Isabela to get her to a stronger, healthier place. They all realise that the three of them together is what works for them and they are all better and stronger together. Great series of standalone stories.

Key party has done it again. I love love love this series. As always this is part of a series "Wicked Temptations: Key Party" but can also be read as a standalone.
Isabela is in college trying to figure out what to do in life. Her horrible uncle doesnt help at all. In fact he makes her life so much worse. So she decides to attend " the key party ". She meets Dr. Gael Murphy and his wife Aria and they have a night none of them will forget.
Gael is a proffesor at Isabelas school. When he and his wife attend "the key party" he never expects to see Isabela there but he is so happy he does.
Watching this story unfold was phenomenal. Seeing Isabela come into herself and get the love and adoration she deserves was so great. The way the relationship developes between the three of them was amazing.
PLOT 5/5. SPICE. 5/5. so spicy

I really enjoyed this book! Isabela has it tough and chooses not to let it define her, but embrace it and become stronger.
It does have parts of action, of trauma, of love, found family, daddy vibes, smutty smut and possessive alpha males. The story has a great flow and reads really fast. Loved the main characters and one of the side characters wasn't too bad either :D
The book is on the tamer side, for Jenn at least, but that doesn't take away from the plot at all - if fits the vibe of the book :)

Isabela by Jenn Bullard
✨ARC Book Review✨
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
*this book is part of a multi author series Wicked Temptations. FFM & has a lot of steamy scenes!
This book was kinky but also so full of character development!
Isabela at the start of this book was this girl that had been living a nightmare for the last few years and the only thing keeping her going was her schooling. She didn’t expect anything out of life. She’s goes from that to this strong woman who will face down anyone to become the strong woman she was always meant to be.
This book definitely won’t be for everyone as it does have a lot of triggers so please check the TW before reading.
Other than that it was another amazing book by Jenn! Can’t wait to see what she writes next!

Isabela is amazing. That's all there is to it. She's got this sassiness and fierceness inside of her and she is different. She doesn't care what other people think of her. She flaunts those combat boots and her tattoos and her ear gauges. But she hides something sinister. Her uncle is an a-hole. So she does something that is completely different for her. She signs up for Club Ecstasy. And lo and behold, her couple for that evening is her former college professor and his wife. This will be a FFM romance and while this book is chocked full of smutty goodness, it has this great plot and it weaves in and out seamlessly. This author really knows how to pack everything in. I loved this book and I'm looking forward to more from this shared world.

I love all of Jenn's books and this one was no different. Isabelle's life has gone through the ringer and at the start of this book was just a victim but with the help from Aria and Gael she was a strong women.
Not to say that it was all sunshine and rainbows for this trio as Isabelle's teacher he was quick to dismiss her and her work but with some helpfully pushing from Aria who saw something in Isabelle when they met, Gael sees maybe not everything is surface level! When they all meet at the key party fireworks! I loved how Isabelle could have a shoulder or other body parts to help her through the journey and in the same breath Isabelle helped Gael and Aria with the missing links in their marriage!

Isabela, book 5 of the Wicked Temptation Key Party series, by Jenn Bullard @author_jenn_bullard. Read the trigger warnings! This is an FFM menage a trois. First off, I am a huge fan of Jenn’s & this book was no different!
Holy heck, this was a phenomenal book! Amazing. Fantastic. Read it. Now. I absolutely loved Isabela’s journal with Gael & Aria. If you like FFM, club scenes, RACK, light impact play I would HIGHLY recommend this book.
There was some difficult topics in this book that unfortunately are very common against women & children.
I received this #ARCBook early and I am freely leaving my honest review.

I read ALL of Jenn's books. this was a great journey and a crazy wild premise with the "key party" . A secret society, mafia undertones, corrupt family, bossy professor, poly MFF. Loved seeing these characters care for each other. I would have to say it was a bit short for me, I wanted longer angst and more character building, etc. It jumped in pretty quick, and came across as almost insta love (no problems with that), but the opportunities to drag this longer and deeper were right there, but it fits into a multi book multi author series, so I get it. Was just a hard teaser from Jenn to be over SOO Soon ! For a fun, super hot, dominant read 100% YES !.

OMG!
Please check trigger warnings before starting! The story includes a Key Party, Secret Society, dark elements: m#rd3r, T0rt#r3, etc.
Isabela is hiding away and trying to protect herself when the book begins but the more I read, I come to understand Isabela is so strong and with the right support will change her life and many others!
Aria and Gael are a married couple who each meet and form connections with Isabela without the other and then all three are paired all together at the Key Party!
This is a FFM relationship where Isabela, Aria & Gael all end up in a relationship equally.
Spice Level: 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶

What an emotional rollercoaster this story is. I cannot believe how much Jenn packs into her story and you will not want to put this down. That being said: I got so upset I wanted to throw this book away from me yet I had to keep reading. I cried, narrowly avoided binging on ice cream, laughed, got extremely mad at certain characters and wished for more details in the storyboarding scene, and felt intense relief at the end of other scenes. Jenn is an amazing storyteller.
