Butcher
My life has revolved around hockey for as long as I can remember. Early morning skates, grueling training camps, and endless road trips. There’s never been distractions, no dating, and definitely no one finding out the secret I’ve kept to myself.
I always figured I’d wait until I hung up my skates to explore my sexuality outside the rink.
But they changed me.
After a night out celebrating a championship win, I find myself in a hotel room with Levi Sexton, my straight teammate and son of a small-town pastor, and Kaylee Peters, the stunning bombshell my captain introduced us to. What begins as a no-strings-attached good time turns into a lot more than what we all thought it would.
Once the three of us decide to make things official, Levi and I have to pretend we’re just friends, but he has a secret of his own. One that could shatter everything if his judgmental family ever found out. When Kaylee faces a sudden health crisis, it shocks us to our cores, and suddenly, our relationship feels like it’s skating on thin ice.
I don’t know if we’ll make it through unscathed, but one thing’s for sure: I’m not ready to lose either of them.
Not now.
Not ever.
My name is Austin Butcher, and while I’m always ready to drop the gloves on the ice, there’s a deeper love stirring within me for Levi and Kaylee—the two people who bring out my softer side.
This is our story.

Butcher is a stand alone MMF romance by Kimberly Knight and Rachel Lyn Adams. This writing duo has written many MM books before but this is their first throuple. They did a great job. While this does stand alone, in the very beginning are spoilers from the ending of Retaking the Shot which is the second book in the Off the Bench Duet. Ford and Coop’s story. So if you haven’t read those and think you will, just be aware that there are spoilers.
Austin Butcher, thirty two years old, and Levi Sexton both play for the Boston Bruins. Austin devotes himself one hundred percent to the game. While he allows himself one night stands, he’s never been in a relationship. Austin is bi-sexual. Only his teammate, Coop knows this secret. His plan is to play hockey, eventually retire, then he’ll live his life in the open. He hadn’t planned on Levi and Kaylee.
Levi Sexton is a preacher’s son. His father has never approved of Levi’s life playing professional hockey. He wanted Levi to follow him at their church. So Levi keeps as much distance between he and his father as possible. He’s straight, or so he thought, until a night with Austin and he sharing a beautiful woman changed everything.
Kaylee Peters works for a marketing firm in Boston with her best friend, Ford. She’s not dating anyone and when two very hot hockey players suggest a threesome, she can’t say no. But one time eventually turns to two which eventually turns to more. Before these three know it, feelings are happening, not just between the two men and Kaylee, but between Levi and Austin as well.
With a brand new, unconventional relationship, these three agree to keep things a secret for now to see where things go. But their feelings continue to grow. And just when they are feeling like they want to share their happiness with others, something happens that shakes them all up. And at the same time, Levi has an emergency of his own that needs to be dealt with. So they are pulled in all different directions, when what they really needed was to be together.
These three were so wonderful together. But before they even had time to enjoy what they found together, it seemed like they had everything but the kitchen sink thrown at them. I felt so bad for them. Miscommunication isn’t one of my favorite things but these three hadn’t really even had time to learn how to best communicate with each other when everything hit the fan. The epilogue was very sweet. I really enjoyed meeting these three.

When I saw this sign up I was very excited to read this book.. I mean MMF, Hockey Romance, Friends to lovers? Count me in.
This definitely was a quick read for me & felt very fast paced in terms of plot. I did enjoy the characters but I wouldn't say I connected with them very much . Which is fine, you can't connect with every character you read. I did however enjoy the spice and the chemistry between the three of them.
A few things that I didn't really love. The time jumps between chapters. I felt like once I finished a chapter and go into the next, things have happened off page. The last 20% ALOT was happening at once.. Then boom 3rd act breakup literally right before the books ends... Then boom epilogue. Yeah. It lost me there.

I loved this story for the fact that one knew who they were , one found themselves and another who has enough love for them both. I was happy to get to see other characters from the other stories . I absolutely love these two authors. Thank you for continuing to take me on the journey!!!

This book and I did not vibe at all. Sometimes insta-love is done well enough to where I can touch it out, but this was not one of those instances. These main characters felt like they had no connection to each other outside of sexual attraction. Plus, why did Butcher seem to favor the other MMC, Levi, more than he did the heroine?
Beating myself up over the fact I didn’t DNF @ the 30% mark when I knew this book wasn’t gonna be good.
What bugged me the most is how I don’t remember reading a single scene where the FMC had sex with just one guy alone. Yet, the MMCs had sex together without the FMC present MULTIPLE times. I felt like it wasn’t that fair..
Safety:
• no virgins. all very experienced and guys seem like manwhores
• all do ONS/ hookups and only the heroine was mentioned to have dated a guy in the past and she hasn’t dated anyone since
• MMC1 has only had threesomes with girls and only hooked up with girls. MMC2 is VERY experienced in the threesome department and had had MMF threesomes before. FMC had never had a threesome with two guys, unsure if she has ever had a threesome before.
• no past hookup or for MMC1 show up
• OM drama ish for MMC2- past fling of MMC2 shows up and invites him to have a threesome with his wife. MMC2 and OM fooled around when they were teens but didn’t go all the way.
• OM drama ish for FMC- FMC is very, very close friends with her gay/ bi married best friend. They have hooked up multiple times in the past but did not have feelings for each other beyond a friendship. The best friend is a main/ side character in the book and shows up a lot. Mentioned about their past hookup maybe 5 times.
• No OW drama that I remember
• MMCs are versatile with one another but only one switch scene on page

I received this ARC for free in exchange for my honest review, which I am leaving voluntarily.
✨ SPOILERS ✨
Honestly? I don't know where to begin at all. I'm angry, frustrated and sad. The final 10% was gut wrenching and I hated the authors for doing this - it didn't have to be like this. I'm angry for Butcher. I'm sad for Kaylee. I'm frustrated over Levi allowing Kaylee back so willingly.
Austin Butcher is definitely boyfriend goals. Although for a character who seemed very sure of himself, confident, almost cocky - his moments of indecisiveness were slightly confusing. His feelings at the end though were completely valid. I almost wanted him to be angrier. For her to grovel way more. He deserved more.
Levi Sexton had so much going on. It's hard to cipher through my head what went wrong with his character but somewhere along the way, he was too much. His character was played out as the emotional, soft MMC and although both left Kaylee in a time of need, I was angrier at Levi. Austin comforted her. By the time we see Levi deal with his emotions and comforting Kaylee, we get one line about him crying and then it moves to the next chapter. We needed more.
Kaylee Peters deserved more. Austin and Levi together made one good boyfriend, almost. Austin making up alot of the desirable qualities and poor Levi dealing too much with his own problems, could I count on much of him being a good boyfriend? I really liked her character until the final 10%. All of her feelings, emotions valid. But running away? No. I don't believe the character would have done this. I wanted them all to explode at the end but not in the way it did. I wanted the hormones and emotions to get the better of all them but not to run away and cry alone. That was tough to read but not because I was emotional, because I was so angry and almost DNF'd this book at 95% complete.
Overall, I loved Austin. Levi could have been written much better and dealt with his own issues better. Kaylee deserved better until she didn't, then Austin deserved better. Somehow in all of this, Levi deserved it all.

I was glad I gave this one a go! It was surprisingly poignant and held a few surprises that kept me guessing. I thought Levi, Austen, and Kaylee were really good together and sexy as all get out!
I've been wanting to read some more poly relationships where everyone loves each other and the connection is more than just physical. It starts with a threesome that leads to a bi-awakening and the decision for all three of them to date and be together.
I liked how supportive and understanding their teammates were and how supportive people were of this thruple. The communication between the three of them was great too. I loved that they encouraged all the aspects of the triad and they spent time getting to know one another better.
I did think they got together a bit too quickly and their was some manufactured drama in the 3rd act was unnecessary. I'm not even talking about the big TW that happened. They was sad but I thought it was handled well. It was other things that kinda didn't make sense and it soured the last 20% of the story for me.
Overall this was a lovely story. I would be open to another story from this author duo but it would depend on the situation.
4 stars
3.5 on the spice scale
CW: domestic abuse (side character), pregnancy loss, homophobia

Hockey Romance with a twist.
I don’t read too many poly storylines. This one was full of love and I really loved the storyline and the depth in which we got to know each character.
The hockey game > hospital portion of the book was heartbreaking.
Really enjoyed this and can’t wait to read more from these two authors.
3.5 ⭐️

Got about 50% through and DNF. On one hand I wanted to know where the story was going in terms of the relationship between the three of them but on the other hand it ran pretty flat for me as well as some pacing issues. There’s also a few times I thought things moved too quickly for a hesitant pastor’s son, it just didn’t seem believable. I was curious and the premise was promising which is what kept me reading to 50% but then I just kind of felt no connection to the characters so stopped there.
Glad others found enjoyment in this book - we all have different tastes!

This was a DNF for me, mainly because of the pacing.
I struggled from the beginning because the writing style wasn’t really for me, and that’s okay, but I couldn’t get past how fast everything was moving and how awkward it felt to me.
Additionally, the ‘bi-awakening’ felt off for me in this book. I can’t really put my finger on what it was exactly but it wasn’t a fan of how it was coming across in the story.
The book may work for you so I’d check out other reviews and give it a chance!

4 stars
I ultimately keep going back and forth between like 3.5 and 4 ⭐ with this book and after a few days of sitting with it, I decided to keep it at 4. Let me tell you why...
Austin Butcher: He's bi. He knows this. He's not out because of hockey. He's confident and secure in who he is, but he also has moments of insecurity and unknowing which I think made him more endearing. Everyone has vulnerable moments and him having them made him feel fleshed out and fully formed. His connection with Levi and Kaylee separate was sweet. His connection with them all together was 🥵 I wish he wouldn't have given into Kaylee as easy at the end. Put up more of a fight and expressed his anger and hurt more.
Levi Sexton: He comes from a super religious background and struggles with his bi-awakening. His story felt more realistic just due to the times. However, his story also felt the most rushed. A LOT happens the last like 1/4 of the book with his family and there wasn't a lot of lead up to it. Just mentions. Also, I would've liked to be privy to more of his struggle with his bi-awakening. Him and Austen are sweet together and I would've liked to see more of it.
Kaylee (honestly, I forget her last name or if we even know it): She was the glue of the relationship. She filled in the holes that the 2 men had in themselves and all 3 had as a couple. She had her own insecurities about not only herself, but her place in the thruple. The third act break up seemed realistic yet also completely stupid at the same time. Like all third-act break ups, it could've been resolved with a conversation and instead she chose to run.
All in all the main issue I had with the book (also why Levi's part felt rushed) is the bigish jumps between chapters. Like the whole thing takes place in under a year, but sometimes the chapters jumped a few weeks or so and we know things happened, they were mentioned, but we didn't get to see them. So, When all the proverbial 💩 hit the fan, I (as the reader) felt like I had holes in my knowledge.
Now that all that is out of the way, their connection (separate and together) was spicy and delicious. It was sweet and it was swoony. If this thruple decided to add another to the mix, I volunteer as tribute for sure.
“Then can I kiss you?”
“Kiss me?”
“Well, what I want to do is f**k you, but figured kissing should be the first step.”
“What about Kaylee?”
“This isn’t about her.”
“But we haven’t done anything without her.”
“Would you rather have her here for your f!rst time?”

The moment this book was announced, I couldn’t wait to read it. “Butcher” is a steamy, emotional and romantic MMF hockey romance that I devoured in one sitting.
Hockey has been Butcher’s whole focus since he was a kid in hockey camp. But one night in Vegas after celebrating their championship win changes everything. He finds himself in a hotel room with his straight teammate, Levi Sexton and their captain’s friend, Kaylee Peters. What should have been a one time thing, they all find out that they can’t stay away from each other and there is a potential for more.
From the first chapter, I was hooked on Butcher, Levi and Kaylee. All three come from different backgrounds but they fit so well together as throuple. Butcher is bi, although not out publicly because of his career. But he’s 100% confident in who he is and it shows when he is with Levi and Kaylee. Levi comes from a strong religious family and has always felt the pressure from his father who disagreed with his career. Kaylee has a supportive family, friends and is the perfect woman for Levi and Butcher. The chemistry that they had when all three of them were together was sizzling hot and some great scenes together. But the best part was how much they supported each other and had each other’s backs. Levi doesn’t have it easy with his judgemental father and when his father’s secret comes to light, Butcher has his back without hesitation. Kaylee has a pretty serious medical episode while with them and they were the support she needed to go through it. I loved these three together so much. They always supported each other, emotionally and physically. I loved the cameos from the other players and I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Austin Butcher, a hockey player with a secret, is thrust into an unexpected love triangle that turns into something deeper than any of them imagined. The connection between Austin, Levi, and Kaylee is electric—separate and together—and the chemistry is chef's kiss.
I loved how supportive the teammates were of this unconventional thruple and how the trio communicated so openly with each other. It felt refreshing to see a triad that wasn’t just about passion but also about respect and understanding. The way they got to know each other and encouraged all aspects of their relationship was genuinely heartwarming.
That being said, the pacing felt a little rushed toward the end, and there were a couple of unnecessary plot points in the third act. While the big emotional moment (that I won’t spoil) was sad, it was handled well. Still, the drama that got tacked on seemed a bit forced.
Overall, the connection between Austin, Levi, and Kaylee is definitely the highlight of the book—intense, sweet, and definitely spicy.

ARC REVIEW
*I was given this ARC in exchange for an honest review*
This was a beautiful read! My favorite bit was the communication in this book it was so strong until it wasn't. Had me ready to throw my Kindle.
The way this book blossomed was perfect. What starts as a threesome ends with one of my favorite throuples. The spice and chemistry were off the charts from the first scene and the way Levi and Austin looked at each other 🥵 had me fanning myself like I was there lol.
I love how Austin was this incredibly open-minded person who wasn't afraid to speak his mind and his a bomb-ass friend. The way he is there for the people he loves and was there for Levi while he was trying to figure out his sexuality 🤌🏾🤌🏾 we need more men like him.
The way Kaylee and Austin were protective of Levi had me squealing 💖💖 the way they put that man first was everything.
This book touched on some tough topics that may be a bit much for some so check the CWs when going into this. I loved this and can't wait to read more by these authors

This is a steamy MMF hockey romance
Austin, Levi and Kaylee
Austin and Levi are teammates and while Austin knows he’s bi, it comes as kind of a shock to Levi but I love how he just accepted it.
They end up trying to be together as a trouple as they routinely get called, and while they originally decide to keep it between them it isn’t long until they tell others.
Kaylee does end up having a miscarriage (so if that’s a trigger you might not want to read it)
I do love that they end up with their HEA!
I was lucky enough to ARC read this!

Austin is a professional hockey player, who always knew he was bi, and his life revolves around hockey. While celebrating with Levi, his straight teammate, and Kaylee, whom his captain introduced them to, a one night develops into so much more.
This is a well written story which has family, friendships, secrets, emotions, tension, undeniable chemistry, fling / lovers, challenges, and love, which leads to an entertaining, spicy, and addictive hockey romance.
I look forward to reading more from these talented authors’ whose work I highly recommend.

I am so happy to have read Butcher, and I especially love the throuple relationship. I really enjoyed the story and I loved catching up with all my hockey buddies that intertwine through the series. I highly recommend you read this book and I hope that you fall in love with the exceptionally beautiful characters in it. Definitely worth the 5 stars 🌟

Austin & Levi are hockey players on the same team who are in a relationship with Kaylee, a beautiful young woman.
Absolutely loving the dynamics of the relationship between Austin, Levi & Kaylee. Austin asks Kaylee to be his date to the Espys.
The twists and turns in the book made me laugh, cry and just absolutely love Levi, Austin and Kaylee so much more

What’s not to love when there are not one, but two hot, sexy professional hockey players who have “touch her and die” feelings for the same girl!? And then they get fiercely protective of each other? Add in the insane chemistry between all three of them and you had the perfect threesome. Especially because their communication with each other was so freaking good…. Until it wasn’t and had me wanting to throw my kindle. But watching them find their way back to each other and the protectiveness between all three of them made up for the few chapters that had me white knuckling the kindle. If the why choose/sports romance/spice plot line is one of your favorite tropes, this is a must read!
November 11, 2024
I love me some hockey MMF romance. There's just something like a bi-awakening in hockey that just does it for me, especially when there's a girl involved. The beginning of Austin, Levi, and Kaylee was deliciously hot, with great chemistry. The religious aspect of Levi's family really resonated with me. I must admit I hated the third act break up. I thought since it was almost the end of the book that it wouldn't happen but I hate all third act break ups in general. I also loved how supportive they all are not only of each other but each other's families and friends. It was all in all a good read and I really enjoyed it.

ARC Review
I really enjoyed this book. I have not read a book by Kimberly Knight and Rachel Adams that I did not like.
This was a good and read. I liked Butcher in other books that overlapped with him, so I was excited he got his own book. He is fun. Watching him open up to Kaylee and Levi was beautiful. They had many up and downs but it all came together beautifully.
Will be recommending this book.

Rating: 5⭐️
Spice: 4🌶️
Darkness:2🩶
Thoughts:
This was such a sweet and romantic ménage story. It had the heat and passion you would see in an MM sports story, but the addition of Kaylee made the story even spicier. I really loved the universe and characters that the authors created.

✨ARC REVIEW✨
This was another new to me author duo, and I will definitely add more of their work to my TBR. MMF stories with a bi-awaking trope has quickly become some of my favorite. I absolutely love the vulnerability of an MMC just discovering his bi feelings. I loved everything about this story, all the angst and even the way the health crisis was written was so caring. I definitely recommend!!

ARC Review:
I’m a sucker for a why choose book. The more, the merrier! Add hockey, and I’m definitely in! This book was a good book. The characters had great chemistry and it was even better when Levi decided to test the waters with Austin. I’m in a puddle on the floor for these people😍
The plot was great, even though, for me, it was a little too fast. It felt like it would get ahead from where I thought it was going. Not awful, just my opinion. The spice was spicy!!!! The scenes were absolutely the best.
The ending had me holding my breath for a bit😳 i love books like that. I give it 4 stars and a 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ for spice.

I have never been much of a reader of the MMF genre. That was until now. I have devoured all of Kimberly Knight and Rachel Lyn Adams MM genre books, so there was no way I wasn't going to give Butcher a read. Now I can only hope they write more like it. Just give me a chance to purchase a walk in freezer first. The Story, Butcher was so, so very hot!!! I swear I felt the heat coming off the pages.
I will admit it didn't hurt they Butcher and Levi are hockey players.
The sexual relationship between Butcher, Levi and Kaylee was a wonderful, enjoyable part of the story. But it wasn't the whole story. Them being a throuple brings a lot of drama all on its own. They have to deal with a lot including how they deal with it in the beginning. Waiting to see how they would tell others and what their families would think had me devouring chapter after chapter. I was in awe of how well the authors put in all into words.
The words grabbed me. The unexpected conflicts hooked me to reading just to see what happened next. The unexpected had me on the edge of my seat. The family dramatics felt so real, so believable.
The ending was an added bonus. This story has one of the most touching, romantic endings that I have read in quite awhile. I know I won't forget it. Hours later I am still swooning over it.

Kaylee, Butcher and Sexton’s story had pieces I definitely wasn’t expecting! Lots of steaminess, emotions and definitely some surprises to keep you turning the pages. I wish Kaylee had taken some more time to discuss her feelings rather than doing what she did. And I’d love an extended epilogue into their future!

Hi
English is my 2nd language, this is unedited and i have adhd. Mix all of them and it's just word vomit with a lot of mistakes (I'm getting better tho)
Now to the review:
The premise and the plot are nothing special.
There's not much going on.
Two teammates, one allegedly straight and the other bi, like the same girl, who by association is part of their crew.
the bi dude already has a crush on the straightie but that's irrelevant for now.
Somehow the guys immediately wanna get in the girl's panties and when they finally get there, the straight dude is suddenly dickmatised... and well.. he has an internal tug of war cause he was raised religious with a pastor father.
After some time of him avoiding the bi dude, the guys talk, kiss and have another threesome with the girl after a while.
After that, they go further and fuck on their own. (The bi dude bottoms)
Then the straightie tells the girl all about it and she's like "wow, hot".
Then the guys talk bout the straightie bottoming (which never happens on page, it's a fade to black) and we get more threesomes.
Some dramas happen, they almost fully breakup cause they absolutely hate communicating about their feelings and the fmc is a little impacted with her emotions and insecurities (which i don't blame her for, the thing that happened to her was traumatic, she was just scared and pushing people away). But it doesn't happen cause she finally pulls her head out of her own ass and goes back to her men.
And it ends in them getting their promise rings while they're snow fighting.
Now to my criticism and thoughts:
First of all
1. The writing.. was really flat.
It was pretty much "They went in the ring, and they won, and we cheered, they hugged, we jumped up and down, then we went to dinner, then we went to the hotel room, and Austin and Levi got naked, then i got naked, their cocks was hard, my pussy was wet, we fucked, then we cuddled"
And I'm not even exaggerating.
Not a lot of character or personality, just bland storytelling.
Now movin on the to the next point, and i can't belive I'm saying this but..
2. Too much MM.
If by any chance you've seen my previous comments, mostly for the MMF books, you already know that I'm a bi guy who's always raging and screaming about how "FMC centeric and hetero coded the queer guys are.. how it's literally they're mostly MFM for the fujos who like to be between a boy kissing sandwich. Basically hetero with some fruit flavoring" the stories are.
I literally yearn for a balanced dynamic between the 3 MCs without the 2 queer dudes sacrificing their bisexuality and attraction to men to make the FMC the center of their throuple.
I thought i found what i was looking for with this.
But goodness gracious.. All the solo scenes are with the guys.
Like postive point for being diffrent and more queer friendly but it's still not balanced.
To some degree it makes sense to me. The guys are always together, they're neighbours, they're teammates, so they're basically glued together.
And Levi was having a Bi-Awakening. So kudos to miss Kimberly for spending time exploring that, but apparently not enough cause we got all the talk about him finally getting skewered on a dick, just for her to write it as a fade to black.
Unfortunately in the process, the solo relationships between the guys and the fmc gets neglected.
I mean it wasn't hard to write 2 short dates with them that ended in sex.
Then again, not my book, not my decision.
I can just tell my opinion on the already existing dynamic and well, it was unbalanced.
Moving on to the next point
3. No additional plot or even a main one, them getting into a throuple was the plot.
Which made story a little lackluster.. mix it with the writing and it's a little snooze-fest-ish.
Now to the next point
4. A little too rushed.
So, it's pretty much an insta lust situation.
I would've liked a bit more development.
Also the transition between lust and love was a bit so sudden.
Again, i would've appreciated a little bit more development.
Now to why did i give it a 4 star?.. simple..
They still had decent chemistry, i was entertained, i liked how the situation with Levi's mom was handled (tho i wish the father gotten more bad karma)
And most importantly, It had more MM, thus it being more queer friendy.. which is like finding a unicorn in the MMF genre.
I'd rather have a queer friendly but mediocre book than a very much hetero centeric wet fantasy for hetero women who use bi men as emotional support dildos to watch them kiss cause "i want two boyfriends who are boyfriends but they love me more than each other"
And yes, I'm very angry about this, i absolutely despise fetishisers. Don't argue with me about this, if you felt offended by what i said, I'm exactly talking about you.
If you don't do that, then it's not about you, move on.
Hetero women (and even queer women) have no business including a community that has no co-relation to them, just to write bi male characters and put them in a poly relationship with another bi dude.. then have the audacity to ignore their bisexuality, unless it's done in the presence of the fmc or show it to me through her eyes, while the whole reason the book is happening is because one of the guys has been in love with the other one (i will always hate you, "Trouble by Brittanee Nicole").
Or give us a half assed attemp in solo MM 85% into the book, just to turn around and make it about the FMC, as if the last 85% was not already focused on her and then continue to make the other 15% about her too, despite again, the whole reason the throuple exists is because the dudes couldn't let go of their feelings for each other after 17 years (i also will always hate you "Holy Hearts by Amanda Richardson")
Or even go further to write conversion kink and turn a gay character and turn him straight and try to erase his past with men, by altering his personality to another straight dude (you can also catch it "Torn and Bound Duet by K. Webster, your forever #1 hater, Hossein)
Or insinuate that it doesn't matter if bi men are together, they will always need a woman to have a fulfilling relationship together and finally be complete (may you never find peace "The Perfect Fit by Sadie Kincaid)
Nobody likes to be reduced to a prop for another group's pleasure and get taunted for it, and gaslighted for it. Believe it or not, bisexuality or being queer is not a kink or trope, so never treat it as such.
