Lachlan and Lyla are something else with the way they love each other. It's like a breeze of fresh air that doesn't make you shiver but leaves a thrill deep inside. The way he cares about her and every damn thing related to her is the showstopper. His obsession and her selflessness both are a deadly combination. The way he broke her walls, stepped by her side throughout and eliminated her worst nightmares is worth reading this book. The characters were unique and their love was heartwarming. I enjoyed reading it!
One lesson that skilled surfer Nate Lyons has learned is that you must wait on the wave and when it comes, ride it until it delivers you to its destination. So, when he and dad, Edwin Lyons, the generational owner of an exclusive BDSM club—Lyon’s Club—located in a mansion in the heart of New York City, clashed over dad’s vision of Nate assuming a role at the family business, Nate’s response was to seek a new wave to ride. And when his break with dad’s vision of his 30-year-old son’s role at Lyon’s Club seemed to follow Nate’s crumbling relationship with Laney Briggs, Nate headed west to California, to another ocean and another wave and another woman, Sonia Hill.
But now, months later, the wave of fate has returned Nate Lyons to New York, ironically following Sonia to Lyon’s Club where she has unknowingly taken a job with her former lover’s dad. And as the son of a man who makes his own rules, son Nate and dad Edwin have locked horns though out Nate’s 30 years, but never, over a woman. And so, while the waves of the East Coast can’t match the challenges of the West Coast, Nate realizes that he needs to escape once more from the awkwardness and emotional challenge of being back in Lyon’s Den where his dad is wooing Sonia, Nate’s ex. And he turns to his place of peace—the waves. But, while the waves off Rockaway Beach are not the waves off California, they were enough to crash a distracted surfer, damaging Nate’s spine and leaving him requiring surgery followed by of months of physical therapy directed by kinesiologist Laney Briggs, a skilled PT, but also known by Nate as the former girlfriend of his best friend, Mason Lotts.
As the three friends and former lovers reconnect, Nate struggles to regain his ability to walk—but perhaps never surf—and Mason reconnects with Nate and by proximity to Nate, Mason also reconnects with sweetly beautiful and loving, Laney Briggs. And the trio move awkwardly forward, supporting Nate, but also growing in love and trust of this new dynamic—a trio—a trople—open to sharing love and support as they move into new, unexplored emotions and relations.
After reading Until I Claim You, I was eager to continue exploring the world of the Lyons family and their friendships and relationships. While this romance explores uncharted relationships, it does so with taste and passion. Callie Stevens shares with her readers an engaging tale of past decisions not only following an individual into the present, but also possibly reshaping the individual’s new beginnings and possible future. I enjoyed the romance and look forward to future encounters with the Lyons family.
I received a review copy of the novel but enjoyed it so much that I bought a copy for my personal “read again” collection.
Laney is a physical therapist helping her friend, Nate, recover from a life-threatening accident. Neither one of them thought they would develop strong feelings for each other. They try to deny their feelings because Laney’s ex-boyfriend, Mason, is also Nate’s best friend. Mason still loves Laney and he believes she still has feelings for him. When the three of them find themselves together in an isolated cabin, how will they handle all of these feelings?
Laney’s confusion made a lot of sense. Her breakup with Mason left her confused. I’m not going to explain why but she had good reasons to break up with Mason and to feel terrible about the breakup. I enjoyed how she worked through her feelings and acted like an adult as the situation changed and developed. I understood why Nate would develop feelings for Laney. Moving from friendship to something more would be natural. I also like that Nate had to grapple with finally getting an adult career instead of living as a surfer. I felt bad for Mason because he really had no idea why Laney had broken up with him and he could see that Nate was falling for Laney. He was angry and confused. When the three of them end up together in an isolated cabin, they end up acting on their feelings. I like how they worked out their feelings and ultimate relationship.
This is a contemporary romance set in New York. This is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. I will read more from this author in the future.

I have read both books in the Lyons Club Series by Callie Stevens and loved them both. In my opinion I think Until I Keep You was a smidgen better than the first book. The plot for this story was original, intriguing, fun, super spicy, sweet and entertaining with wonderful characters. Mason, Nate and Laney were the perfect trio and their chemistry was off the charts. There was a bit of tension between Mason and Nate as they were best friends and in love with the same girl. Things were stressful when it came to Mason and Laney as they used to date. Laney is confused because she has feelings for Mason and Nate, but doesn't want to hurt either of them. Will Laney have to choose between Mason and Nate or can they figure something out that will make all of them happy?
Laney was Nate's physical therapist and his best friend Mason's ex-girlfriend. She has been hired by his father Edwin to help get him back on his feet and walking once again after being paralysed while surfing. Mason was getting upset because he can tell there were feelings developing between Nate and Laney. Mason still loved her and wanted to repair their relationship after being apart for years. Nate is conflicted with the emotions he is developing for Laney because he doesn't want to hurt Mason, but he can't help how he feels nor does he want to stop. Laney is more than confused as she has feeling for both men and doesn't want to choose between either of them.

I love why choose romances and typically lean towards darker stuff, but occasionally fun and flirty is needed to clean the pallet. This one was a pretty angsty, but I really enjoyed the guys showing their emotions. Laney was almost too much of a martyr. Yes, she had broken Mason’s heart before, as well as her own, but otherwise I never understood why she thought she wasn’t worth loving. Mason and Nate made it work easily and quickly, though being best friends, I’m not sure why Nate thought it was ok to go after the girl. Thus…lots of angst and emotion. Once the guys came to grips with being ok with each other, Laney was the hold out and sabotaged it in a self fulfilling prophecy. Luckily things worked out beautifully. Nate and Mason are amazing men and the authors descriptions of everything was so emotional and smokin hot I wanted to yell at Laney that if she didn’t get on board I’d do it. Who wouldn’t want two amazing, well hung 😉 men who wanted you, especially since the only weirdness was in her own head. Really enjoyed this story and look forward to more by this author.

We continue within The Lyons Club series. If you read the first book, you will remember Nate’s accident. I will leave it at that. No. Spoiling.
Moving along, again we question - Trust, Friendship, Emotions found/lost. When an ex moves on, life ought to become easier. The other partner can move on, but when your ex is your best friend’s Physiotherapist - well, nothing is smooth anymore. This is what’s happening between Nate/Laney/Mason. Who will make the ultimate sacrifice for the other? Or will a choice be needed? A tangled mess of forming multiple partners. Both Nate & Mason are vying for Laney’s affections. “Queen/Princess” hmmm…. Exposed secret finally revealed. Will this also reevaluate relationships?
Overall - through emotional feelings being dealt, Nate/Mason & Laney crossed many boundaries. We delved into bro code, ex’s, and emotions. Let’s not forget thee sin of sexual pleasure. This is what Laney struggled upon.
No further spoiling. Future wise, I presume the Lyon Dynasty isn’t over yet. Do read in order though.
I loved this book! It was clear from the beginning that there was something brewing between Laney and Nate, even to Mason, Nate’s best friend and Laney’s ex. I really felt bad for Mason. He was obviously still in love with Laney, had no clue why she left him, and was watching her fall for his best friend. It was kind of brutal and clearly heartbreaking for him. Nate was going through his own struggles after his surfing accident. Laney, besides being his physical therapist, was quickly becoming more to him. Although he and Mason had been best friends since childhood, he couldn’t deny the pull to Laney. I loved how it all played out! Thank goodness that Mason decided to drop in on them while they were at the cabin! I’m really curious about Seth and Bridget! Could there be something more to Seth’s poor treatment of her?!?.

This book is so angsty. Some books you support on character or the other. In this book I loved and supported all three. I wanted them each to have a happily ever after. Laney has been hired as a physical therapist by Nate’s rich father to help him recover from a life altering accident. Nate was barely able to move his feet or his legs. Laney knew Nate because she was dating his best friend Mason. Now although Mason and Laney broke up, it’s far from over between these two. Feelings and love still linger but there’s also a lot of hurt. Now Nate and Laney have been together everyday for a long time and feeling have begun to develop between them. I loved the honesty among them, the love and the mutual respect. Great story of a polyamorous relationship that felt realistic to me. The story really grabs and holds your attention. Now this is the second book in the Lions Club series and I plan to read the first book which is about Nate’s father.
Book two of the Lyons club series following Nate after his surfing accident. Laney is hired to be his live in personal therapist, she's great at her job, only problem is she's Nates best friends ex and he's got feelings for her. 6 months of being up close and personal to Nate has Laney questioning her feelings, there's definitely an attraction there but he's a client and her exs boyfriends best friend so he's off limits, right? Read this if you enjoy off limits romance, MFM romance, spicy scenes, workplace romance, employer /employee relationship, close proximity, character pov writing, spice, why choose romance, HEAs.

Received as an ARC and leaving my honest review voluntarily. It took me a while to get into the story and I think it's mainly because I didn't like Laney very much...thought she was immature, selfish and instead of admitting fault and communicating she keeps walking away. So I really couldn't understand why the 2 guys were so caught up in her. But thanks to her friends, she does finally grow up and actually communicates her wants. And that is when the story actually picked up and drew me in with the openness and emotion and reality of choosing happiness over society's expectations. The story flowed better in the second half with a really sweet and emotional HEA.

Until I Keep You carries on from the previous book, from when Nate has his skiing accident. To complicate things further, Laney is his therapist and the ex of his best friend, Mason. Laney has to give Nate his therapy at his place, where his father has installed everything state of the art that Nate will need. Will things get complicated when Laney finds herself attracted to Nate and finds she still has feelings for Mason? Callie certainly gives you all the feels of this book and this complicated triangle. I received an arc for my voluntary honest review for NN Book Blog. If you love a taboo m/f/m romance, you will enjoy this book. It can be read as a stand-alone but if you want to know the back story behind Nate and his accident you will need to read Book One first.
Lacey, Nate & Mason The ending of the previous book set the scene for this poly romance. It is a quick read but quite a slow burn. Compared to other RH books I'd say it is quite tame, not many scenes featuring all three, with some just teased. I did find that a few times I anticipated the next scene but found we'd move ahead in time. Disappointing at the time but afterwards I saw the focus really was the emotional side of the poly. Mason struggled with the early dynamics the most and the dinner scene was really good. I'm looking forward to catching up with the trio in the next book(s) in the series as the scenes with Sonia & Edwin added depth here. I can't decide if Seth or Jack will be next, hopefully we'll get a return to the Lyons Club itself.
Laney is struggling. She is living with Nate to get him back up and walking after a surfing accident landed him in a wheelchair. The close proximity has made her realise that she is falling in love with him. Since he is her ex's best friend he is completely off limits.
Nate has fallen head over heals in love with Laney but is struggling with the bro code that makes her off limits.
Mason is fighting his jealousy as he watches the only woman he has ever loved getting close with his best friend.
This is another fantastic story in the series with suppressed passion, betrayal, angst, understanding true friendship and plenty of steam.

This is the second book in the Lyons Club Series and picks up after Nate's surfing accident. This love triangle will grab your attention right at the beginning, and you won't be able to put it down. Laney is Nate's physical therapist and living with him while trying to help him heal from the accident. Her ex is his best friend. What happens when she finds herself attracted to Nate and she and Mason are still attracted to each other? Are they able to share? The book is well written with strong, likable characters and an engaging storyline that will keep you page turning.

Until I Keep You is the 2nd book in the Lyons Club series. This story has some areas of explicit content and themes, please read the content warning before reading. This book focuses on Nate, his best friend Mason and the girl they both love, Laney. I love how this book revolves around a topic a lot of people still think of as taboo, even though it is becoming more and more common place to see. The dynamics between the 3 characters, emotions, thoughts and actions, are all very well done. Absolutely loved this book and can't wait to see what's in store for the next one!!.

❤️ Ex’s best friend ❤️ Forced proximity ❤️ Forbidden ❤️ Second chance ❤️ Polyamory MFM
And we’re back for round 2 of the Lyon’s Club series, this time with Nate, Mason and Laney. The chemistry on the page between these 3 is very much there straight off the bat, the added factor that Mason and Laney used to date just adds to the sexual tension between Nate and Laney as she becomes his live in carer following a spinal injury.
The way Callie tells their story is just as good this time round as it was for Edwin and Sonia in book 1.
I’m desperate to see where we go next with this series.
Whoa hold on to your hats this roller coaster of emotions will rock your world! A different romance that is filled with gut wrenching emotions, sexual tension so raw and a storyline so compelling you will not be able to put this book down, I loved the beautifully written characters, especially Mason and Nate who were able to express their feelings and show their emotions when it mattered I received an advanced reader's copy of this book via Booksprout and I am writing this review voluntarily
Nate and Mason were great - best friends who were both in love with the same woman and who eventually agreed that working together was better than either being without her. Laney, though, was an insecure, emotional mess. Though she loved both men, she was a coward and ran away rather than really talking about her true feelings for them. Sometimes, it apparently DOES take a village to fix things and Laney was lucky to have good friends to help her see the truth. Steamy, emotional story.

Nate is injured and Laney is his personal therapist, but also a friend. She broke his best friends heart when she said she didn't want him anymore four years ago. Nate finds himself being attracted to Laney and Mason hasn't got over their breakup. The tension in this book is thick with Mason not trusting his best friend, Nate being totally into Laney and Laney not knowing how she can be attracted to two men with the same intensity. I enjoyed reading this book.

This is something completely different by Callie Stevens, not the typical surprise pregnancy. This book continues with Nate after his surfing accident. Laney is his live in therapist. After about 6 months of living closely together some feelings start to develop. It is a bit forbidden because Laney is the ex of his best friend. Laney is in a difficult spot with two men, and where feelings are involved it becomes more difficult.
I expected something a bit darker, some secret society from his parents, but it was more tame and understanding.

OMG this was another fantastic book. I was on the edge of my seat and I couldn't even put it down. It was addicted and sensational of romance and fun for all three in a love triangle. She broken his heart once again for Morgan and it was a mystery of excitement.It has so much of complication and drama all in one moments. But she had to choose between Nate and Morgan it was like a roller coaster ride with so much of emotions. I highly recommend this book and you won't be disappointed.

After having been introduced to Nate Iin the first book of the Lyons Club series I was curious to see how he finally gets his own HEA and this did not disappoint. Although, Laney and Mason make this a throuple story the dynamics between the three of them start off a bit complicated. It did not help that Laney had reservations and kept making the wrong decisions at first. Overall, this was a good steamy read with some fun moments between the characters.

The 2 mmc were great in this book. Just the right amount of angst and emotion without being too much. The fmc was so bland to me. There was almost no character development for her. Once she did finally start making an impression, she came across as so emotionally immature and her self hatred passed relatable, well into obnoxious to read. I skimmed the last 20% of the book because even a good spicy scene wasn't worth having to read her pity parties. This is the 2nd book I've tried from this author and for her rating's sake and my sanity's sake, we'll part ways here.
Mason and Nate are best friends and Laney is Nate's ex. Both men are in love with Laney. This is a great story that has romance, inner conflicts and a happy ending. I like that Laney's has struggles with her love for both men and does not want to hurt anyone. I like that both men deal with the inner struggle in their relationship.

This is a story about love conquering all. Mason and Laney broke up years ago and she never expected to see him again. But then she ends up working for Nate as a live in nurse after he get in an accident. Laney realizes she has feelings for them both. Great characters and I love how the men allow themselves to be weak and vulnerable.

The story is about Laney and the two men who love her, Nate, and his best friend Mason. This book pulled me in and I felt for all the characters involved. Laney's insecurities are heartbreaking, but I loved how Mason and Nate wanted to do whatever necessary to help heal her and make her feel deserving of the love they have for her. By the end of the book, I was in love with all of the very human characters, faults and all.
It’s a complicated web of relationships - Laney is Mason’s ex, Mason and Nate are best friends, and Laney is Nate’s physiotherapist. There’s unresolved feelings, unprofessional feelings and new emerging feelings, all tangled together. I loved this family, especially this trio, find their way to loving each other - it was a long a difficult journey, but so worth it. A great and emotional read.
