Captive #3
Mayhem
Erin Daniels decided to leave Florida. There’s nothing left for her there, and after being passed over again for an opportunity to buy in as a partner in the tattoo parlor she works in, it’s time for a change. With her best friends now in Denver, she packs up to join them. Her new start was what she needed, and it came with the perks of two handsome men willing to give her the world. However, there’s a minor blimp on the radar of her happiness, and it soon becomes unignorable.
Paetyn Silva and Cruz Adair have known each other almost their entire lives. Growing up in the same house afforded them the ability to read each other like books they had written. It’s become natural for them to share the women in their lives and try to build a future with them. They’ve had their sights set on Erin since meeting her two years ago. When she moved to Denver, being with her was like breathing. Her happiness and safety are the only things that matter; neither will let anything threaten them.
~
Erin’s chest rose and fell slowly as she took in her situation. She had never been one to be overwhelmed and at a loss for words easily. Yet she didn’t think she could form words if she tried. She was hyper-focused on the smell of their cologne as the two mixed and danced around her. Erin wasn’t bothered that words were escaping her at the moment. She knew what she wanted and was sure her men also did. Pure want and desire were coursing within her body. Hell, it wasn’t every day that she got placed in a position like this, given the ability to be pleasured by two irresistible men that she got to call hers. Erin was glad she hadn’t overthought it and passed on being with them because now she could indulge in this as often as she wanted.
Looking up into the emerald green eyes, Erin could feel herself getting wet. Those eyes were full of desire and promise. His hands came up, and he cupped her breast. Slowly kneading them, never taking his eyes from hers, and she didn’t want him to.
A hand snaking across her stomach and into her shorts had her jumping slightly. She’d been so transfixed by Paetyn’s eyes that she hadn’t noticed they’d been undone. The hand slid into her panties, and a single finger brushing over her clit had her throwing her head back. Leaning backward into Cruz while looking up into his steely gray eyes. He spread her folds with his index and ring finger before dipping his middle finger into her dripping pussy.
“We’re going to get you drenching wet,” Cruz told her in that gruff voice of his that she was sure would have any woman creaming in her panties as he began to suck on her neck.
A hand left her breast and gripped her chin softly but firmly.
“Then, we’re going to fuck you until you can’t stand straight,” Paetyn finished descending his lips onto hers.
Contains strong language, detailed explicit sexual content, and mild violence.

This was a fantastic read from beginning to end. I’ve been anticipating this novel since I started the series a couple of years ago. I knew from Control one of the women would end up with Paetyn and Cruz, and when I saw Chaos was about Chayse and Nik, I knew Erin would be in for a good time.
Watching them date Erin and work to make her comfortable in their relationship was everything. Sometimes, when I read harem or throuple books, it often feels like they jump into the relationship with no preamble. The way it was portrayed in the novel was so realistic. Them sitting down and talking to each other, and them letting Erin ask questions was a perfect way to kick off the relationship.
When Erin finally opened up about her situation, I completely understood where she was coming from and the fear she had about doing so. I’ve been in similar situations with my own disorder, and I felt seen within the book. Later, when she reflects on telling them it’s easy to see that they mesh so perfectly with the way she realizes they work to calm her worries like they said they would.
The contrast between Paetyn and Cruz is easy to see but is also subtle. When they first sat down with her they told her they were two halves of a whole and had what the other one might lack, and while neither of them were lacking in my opinion, the sentiment still made sense. They’re the perfect blend of everything, and Erin is one lucky lady.
Their everyday chemistry is executed so well, and they are perfect gentlemen in public, but when they get her in private, their chemistry is on a completely different level whether it’s the three of them or them with her one on one. Those birthday scenes for both men. Whew! I had to bookmark them so I could go back and read them again.
I loved the way the romance and subplot blended and balanced on another, and I get where Erin was coming from in regards to it because it really only seemed bothersome and annoying. (I’m leaving it vague so as to not give it away).
If you’re looking for a great romance, with a good subplot, and terrific closed door moments, this is the read you need.

The way I devoured this book when it hit my Kindle! Erin, Paetyn and Cruz were such a great throuple to read. Their relationship felt so balanced to me. While there were some similarities between Paetyn and Cruz, it was easy to spot their differences. I also enjoyed how neither of them had a “set role” in the relationship. What I mean is while Paetyn is more of the peacekeeper, or the one who keeps his cool, and Cruz can be a little more hot headed, they had the ability to fall into either roll, and I think it was executed well when it happened.
It was easy to spot all the subtle things going on between the three in Chaos, so I knew Mayhem was going to expound on that, and it was done so well. We got to see both men pursue and date her together, but we also got to see them do so separately. The way Erin accepted and navigated their relationship was perfect. She always seemed to take both of them into account and could admit in the beginning that she was still working on giving them equal attention. I also feel that she knows them well because she catered dates for each one with things she thought they would enjoy.
I think I’ve said this every time I’ve read one this authors books but those scenes, you all know the ones, were hot!🔥🔥Especially the ones where the three of them are together. Erin was overwhelmed in the best way.
The way the two of them constantly make her feel wanted is something every woman should get to experience.
The subplot was so nice to and gave the perfect balance to the romance. A wonderful read! I can’t wait to read Havoc.

This was a great read. I enjoyed the way the couple got together. With a lot of poly books, they just fall into it, but in this one they sat down and had a conversation about what they expected and wanted from one another. I think that greatly helped in their relationship going smoothly because they knew they could talk to each other.
The chemistry between the three of them and Erin with them separately was great to read. You could feel the difference in both men, but they also meshed well. Erin got the best of both worlds. I also enjoyed that Cruz and Paetyn were able to take on different roles. Neither one was set to being the peacekeeper or the "tough guy". They could each be what Erin needed and keep the relationship balanced.
I enjoyed their intimate scenes. Whether they were all together or she was with one of them. The way both men worked to overwhelm her when they were together was like a well-oiled machine, but separately you could see their contrast in the bedroom and what they each liked. One with a great need for control in the bedroom, and another one who wanted pleasure for both of them and to bring her to the peak as many times as possible.
There is so much more I could say about the book, but I would be giving it away.
This has definitely made it to my top two poly relationship books, and it isn't number two.

disappointing (contains spoilers)
The book was long but stayed at really surface level.
We didn’t learn much about any of the protagonists past what you would know in a 10 minute conversation. For instance, Erin mother and sister are important to her and died. Ok but what off? Why did she decide to become a tattoo artist ? How was is to grow up an army brat? Etc. As for Cruz and Paetyn it was even more paper thin. They grew up together, how was that? They live together, why? How did they pick their profession ? Etc. As for their relationship, are we meant to believe that having 3 people together is so plane sailing ? No misunderstandings, friction, nothing ?
Lastly one of my pet peeves. All 3 were culturally diverse but apart from a few language interactions, you couldn’t tell. A black woman never mentioning her hair or her skin, a Latino although a foodie never cooking venezeluan food and a polish man not having any holidays tradition.

Who doesn't want not one but two men that cares and loves you with that intensity and devotion. And the sex parts are the right amount and super 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ one of the things I love about the writing style of this author, I mean if you are going to write about it just go all the way, there is no point, more if the book is a reverse harem.

Great!!!!
I love this book! I enjoyed the plot 😉 , but mainly the dynamic of their relationship. Erin was Cruz and Paetyn missing puzzle pieces. Their relationship seemed so easy, but that was only because each person put in the effort to make it work.
