Three hearts. Two dominants. One love that breaks all the rules.

VICTORIA
As a confident Domme, I’m used to getting exactly what I want. When I bid on Conor Evans at a bachelor auction, it’s for one night of power and pleasure. But I never expect him to ignite something inside me—a dark attraction that threatens everything I’ve built with Elena.

ELENA
Being Victoria’s submissive is nothing short of perfect—until the night she brings Conor into our lives. The pull between us is undeniable, and I find myself torn—between loyalty to the woman I love and this dangerous new desire I can’t seem to control.


CONOR
When Victoria bids on me, I’m immediately intrigued. Beneath her commanding exterior, I sense a woman who craves submission as much as she exudes control. Then there’s Elena—sweet, obedient, and just as irresistible. She’s the perfect balance to Victoria’s dominance. I never imagined I’d be drawn to both of them... but now I can’t get enough.

“I’d endure so much more than a little pain for the pleasure of being with both of you.”

Victoria and Elena are both bisəxual women and have been in a Dømme/sub relationship for years, but Elena recently found herself wanting to explore with a male partner. Victoria is open to exploring this fantasy, and when she receives an email about a bachelor auction at Club Triskelion she knows exactly who she wants their male partner for the night to be, but what was supposed to be one night turned into so much more.

I loved how the author presented Vic's Dømme vs sub exploration, and Connor had me swooning with how conscious he was about this and how he wanted her to be comfortable while at the same time being possessive of her submissiveness. I also enjoyed how the poly dynamics were presented. The way they all respected and loved each other, but also the very real possibility of feeling left out at times.

This story was fast-paced, spicy as all sin, and the perfect semi-ending to the series. That epilogue had me so emotional and feeling like I was hanging out with my own family. This book was everything I didn't know I needed.

Quote: “In this moment—the three of us an intertwined bundle of limbs—I know we are perfect for each other. I don’t need my family or the world to understand what we are or how we make it work... No one could convince me that this is wrong, because everything about us feels right.”

My Rating: 3 ⭐⭐⭐

We Have
✅ FMF Romance
✅ Tropes I didn’t want to throw across the room
✅ Smut that smutted
✅ Quick Burn/Instalust
✅ Charming MMC
✅ Age Gap
✅ Mafia Vibes
✅ Quick Read <300 pages.

Soooooo this was my first book in the Men of Club Triskelion series, and let me just say—what a ride.
It was sexy, quick, and packed with enough heat to leave me raising an eyebrow at my Kindle more than once.

I loved that this story leaned into an FMF dynamic, and it did it in a way that felt refreshingly open and direct. So many "why choose" stories tend to stop at MFM or add MM spice at best—but this one? Said “nah, let's explore it all” and I was HERE for it.
The chemistry was hot, the connections felt genuine, and the scenes were plentiful (and, yes, yum).

The MMC brought a confident charm and wit to balance it all out—never over the top, but always delivering the right vibe when it counted. Honestly, I wouldn’t have minded a little more time with him (or just more insight into his backstory and his jewelry.... Hello, give me lore!), but that might just be me being greedy.

Now, this was listed as a standalone, but it’s also Book 5—and while you can absolutely read it without the earlier ones and understand the main plot of this book, I do think I would’ve had a better grip on the broader relationship dynamics (especially with the MMC’s brothers) if I’d read the full series. It didn’t ruin anything, but it definitely left me feeling like I’d walked into the second half of a party and everyone already knew the inside jokes.

Pacing-wise, this one moves. It hits the ground running—auction, attraction, action—and I was just vibing with it, no time to breathe. For readers who like a fast burn with all the spice and none of the dragged-out angst? This will be a hit.

And here’s what really stood out for me:
No miscommunication. No pointless drama. No third act sabotage.
Just adults acting like adults (with a generous helping of orgasms and aftercare). Bless.

All in all, Shared was the perfect palate cleanser—sexy, satisfying, and fun. I’m definitely curious about the rest of the Club Triskelion crew now… and yes, I’ll be circling back to the earlier books because I clearly need the full experience - and if they are half as smutty as this.... ohhhh baybeeee!

Thank you to TAA and the author for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Conor is convinced he has no interest in settling down, right up until the moment that Victoria buys him at an auction at the club, for a single night with her and her sub Elena. Everything about it blows his mind, and he realises he wants another night with them, and maybe even more.

*****

This was exactly what I've come to expect from the author, with a twist. I loved the inclusion of a strong F/F relationship at the forefront, built on genuine affection and existing in a D/s dynamic. I was interested in seeing how Conor - being very much a Dom - would be melded into the dynamic and it was done so well. Seeing him and Victoria struggle to find their footing while they all couldn't deny the chemistry that surrounded them was fantastic. I also liked getting to see more of the previous characters from other books in the series, and how they push Conor to be the best version of himself that he can be in their poly relationship.

Overall this one was the perfect amount of spice and development, although I do wish we got a bit more of Conor with each woman alone, or diving into each of their bonds with each other since it was very much F/F scenes and FFM scenes overall, and Conor felt a bit flatter than other leads have in other books in the series. That being said I adored Victoria and Elena as a whole, especially in addressing how their dynamic shifts.

Just when I think that I can’t love another Evan’s brother more than the last one…

What I expected with this book:
-Another look at this fiercely loyal family and it’s deliciously dark men
-Another playboy to be bitten by the love bug
-Some twists and turns I won’t see coming… cause this Author always has something up her sleeve!

What I got:
-The most glorious fall of a the biggest flirt and playboy to date
-Two fierce and absolutely gorgeous women who fight hard and love even harder
-Some of the hottest trio scenes I’ve ever read!
-A twist that pulled the rug right out from under me…
-And a turn that absolutely mended my heart.

I absolutely adore all of these characters and the epilogue was absolutely phenomenal touch at the end!

Aww Conor 🥹

It all started when Conor was signed up to a charity auction he wanted absolutely NO part in, one lucky lady could win a night of his time. Little did he know he was about to have the night that changes the whole course of his life!
Victoria and her sub|m¡ss¡ve long time girlfriend Elena decide they want a night to experience a man again, and Victoria knows just the man, and she will pay anything to make her sweet girl happy.
The fight for dominance is on when they realise they can't get enough of each other, but will they be able to work through the reality of a Mènage relationship or will it tear them all to shreds?
After all Conor has never even slept with the same woman twice 😉

Yo entiendo que un libro de erótica base su historia en el sexo, pero es que no hay trama de ningún tipo, y la que se añade para meter dramatismo es un sin sentido.

Estamos ante una pareja sáfica que quieren meter en su relación a un hombre. Lo que pasa es que las dos mujeres tienen los roles de domme y sumisa, cosa que se olvida cuando se añade al personaje masculino. Total, que entre sexo y sexo nada, pero de repente en el 60% del libro como que la autora se vuelve a acordar que esta historia pertenece a una serie de mafia y entonces entre puñalada y puñalada, una bala mortal atraviesa a nuestro protagonista masculino. Llanto y llanto, revive, follan, problemas y follan. Libro completo.

Hot Hot Hot! From the start this book has you fanning yourself! But honestly would you expect anything less from Conor? There wasn’t a big plot point to the book but I loved the look inside a polyamorous relationship and the importance each character placed on honesty and communication. I absolutely loved the fluidness of this relationship. This one probably had the most amount of spice of all the books in the series and the girls may have you questioning some things. I always devour JL Quick books and this one was no different. It keeps you gripped between the pages dying to know what’s next! Don’t be afraid of the piercing or the crawl, embrace both and dive in to Shared!

ARC Review: 5⭐️

Shared is the fifth book in the Men of Club Triskelion series featuring Conor Evans, Victoria Conrad & Elena Wilson.

Victoria & Elena are tougher and they have a domme/sub relationship. Victoria can tell that Elena has something on her mind and she reveals she’s been wanting to experience the dominance a man could provide, just one time.

Victoria comes up with the perfect plan, they attend the bachelor auction at club Triskelion and bid on Conor. They share a steamy night together and part ways after.

Elena can’t seem to move past the feelings she has for Conor and neither can Victoria. Victoria invites him to join them in a casual hookup once a week. But as they continue to spend time all together they can’t ignore the way it just feels so.. right.

When the unexpected happens will it cause everything they have to come to a screeching halt leaving even Victoria & Elena’s relationship in the balance ?

This book was everything! I was waiting for Conor’s book and JL did not disappoint! The spice was spicing and the emotions were thick at times and it left me hanging on the edge of my seat!

I’m so not ready to leave this world behind but I know whatever JL gives us next will be just as if not better ! Thank yoy JL for allowing me the privilege of being on your team!

It was finally Conor’s time to shine & shine he did
He’s always been a bit of an overachiever….this time was no different….with an ego & confidence the size of his um package who could blame him

Victoria & Elena already had a great thing going in their Domme/Sub relationship….Elena needed more & knew exactly how to ask for…like any great Domme, Victoria knew how to make her Sweet Girls wish a reality….little did they both know that one night would lead to a possible future….a future none of them saw coming

There were plenty of twists & turns along the way….some you saw coming but not to the extreme that they happened….& a couple I wasn’t prepared for

Conor is the last blood brother of the Club Triskelion men….so of course we had to go out with a bang….this series can all be read as a standalone but I would definitely read them in order to not spoil yourself if you decide to read them all…just be prepared….this FFM was a quick read….well paced but hard to put down

I freaking LOVED Conor in the previous books and I was so excited when I saw he was getting his own book! And this did NOT disappoint. The biggest tease and playboy in the series falls epically but doesn’t lose his deliciously flirtatious behaviour!
It was a “lighter” mafia book, focusing more on relationships than mafia “antics”
Def enjoyed the power struggle between Vic and Conor (Domme/Dom) and certainly didn’t expect a switch to happen! It made for a Great read!

My thoughts while reading:
🚨ALERT SPOILERS AHEAD🚨

Elena and Victoria are gonna make my heart squish I can already tell 🥺

“Sweet girl” 🥰💕🥰💕💕💕💕💕🥰🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕💕🥰🥰🥰

“I take care of my girl because I know how appreciative she is for everything I provide.”

So, I liked it. I did. But I don’t think I was the right audience for this book, and that’s on me!
I am a lesbian and I do read hetero smut but I think this one felt a bit icky for me. I’m all for non-queer people writing queer love (and I don’t know the authors orientation) but I feel like there’s some nuanced that is missed when something queer isn’t written from the queer perspective.

I also felt like it was very male centered even though we started off with a sapphic couple … but they didn’t start the book with one of the women saying they missed being w men so idk yall.

Unfiltered texts sent to my gf when I was reading: 👇🏻

So it has a sapphic FF couple and I didn’t read the blurb of course, just the tropes
And the FF couple is together and is in a D/s relationship which is great but the sub is like um I miss men
First ick
But I kept reading
Then the Domme is like okay of course no worries
There’s a bachelor auction and they get this guy Conor
the Domme is like I will not submit to you we will dominate the sub together

The guy is like okay bet like yeah right and so then the Domme ends up submitting to him!
Which is fine but still kind of gave me the ick and it all happened soooo fast and like I love insta-lust/love but this was too quick

And then the guy got shot and it like kinda drove the girls apart bc it’s like the sub girl wanted to bring a guy in and now she has to take care of the Domme girl bc she now is submitting to the guy and she’s freaking out etc

And now the sub girl feels like a third wheel and an outsider and the guy is like you’re mine you’ll always be mine and she’s feeling a bit better but it’s like annoying bc it feels like this wasn’t done in a queer light

It feels like it was written by a straight person that wanted to write a threesome and it just feels all wrong

And like both the girls are talking about how jealous they are of the other being w the dude and it’s just annoying to me

And now the guy is like I think we all need to talk bc you guys aren’t the same and you need to like talk to each other
Which again is fine
But I’m annoyed that the book seems so male centered when it started w a sapphic relationship

Book 5 of the MEN OF CLUB TRISKELION Series, Shared had it all and more. I couldn't wait to read Conner's Story. He is the only Evans brother that is single, and of course, that makes him perfect for the auction being held at their club.

Victoria and Ella are amazing together. Ella is Victoria's sub, and she just wants one night to scratch the itch of being with a man. Victoria will give her sweet girl anything she wants and bids on Conner. It was just one night, just to get it out of Ella’s system, but the three couldn't fight the strong attraction between them.

With the agreement set being together, 2 doms and on sub, 3 hearts falling for each other, and the pleasure they give each other makes on heck of an amazing, spicy untraditional love story.

Victoria struggles between her dominance and wanting to submit to Conner, Ella has her doubts about herself, and Conner has never been with the same woman twice, along with danger from being an Evans, their feelings and roles are tested.

JL Quick wrote not only this story but the series so deliciously. You can feel every emotion through the words. She definitely brings each character to life. You find yourself wanting the next read. I could not put down any of them.

From the start to the finish, she will have you hooked and addicted. If I could, I would give Shared more than ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

Thank you, J.L, for that beautiful epilogue! Conner, Victoria, and Ella were so good with each other. Each one brought out the best of each other and handled each others fears and doubts in the most caring and loving ways. Their dynamic and story were written perfectly!

The Evans Brothers are different in their own ways, but they do have one thing in common, making the women in their lives feel safe and fully loved. The way they treat their women and give into their every desire, let's just say when it comes to showing them how they truly feel through intimacy, JL Quick can write a very spicy scene 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶.

Three hearts. Two dominants. One love that breaks all the rules.

We finally get the privilege to get to know Connor and get a front row seat into his journey of finding love in not just one person, but two. And it happens at a time that he least expected: a bachelor auction, hosted by the Club owned by him and his brothers.

Connor is a very confident Dom who loves to please his partners, but has never sought anything more than one encounter. Until he meets Victoria and Elena. Victoria, a Domme who exudes elegance and power. Elena, a sub who is sweet and bratty. Both these woman are strong, confident, open and honest with each other and so in love with each other. Elena, however has been feeling like something is missing in their relationship when it comes to sex. Victoria, not one to disappoint her sub (and love of her life), agrees to allow a third for just one encounter.

Just one, turns into more, and with that, comes all the things you can imagine: feelings, passion, intrigue, lust, fear and love.
Their story is beautiful and raw. They are so attuned to each other's needs and are open to make changes for each other and their honesty and commitment to each other is what any in a relationship would strive for.
This wouldn't be a JL Quick book if it wasn't also loaded with spice, and boy, oh boy, did she ever deliver in this department!
This series is coming to an end, and although this makes me sad, i look forward to her new, upcoming series in June!

Star: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25

Shared by J.L. Quick is a provocative, emotionally rich addition to the Men of Club Triskellon series that pushes boundaries and explores what it really means to love outside the lines. This isn’t just a ménage romance — it’s an honest, vulnerable journey through power, surrender, and the chaos of unexpected connection.

Victoria, a strong, seasoned Domme, knows exactly what she wants... until she doesn't. Her bid on Conor at a bachelor auction is meant to be simple: one night, one experience, no strings. But the sparks that fly between them are anything but forgettable. And it’s not just Conor who complicates things — Elena, Victoria’s loyal submissive, feels the shift too. As desire deepens between all three, the line between pleasure and emotion starts to blur.

Elena’s inner conflict is beautifully written — torn between her devotion to Victoria and a growing, forbidden attraction to Conor. Conor, in turn, is caught in the gravitational pull of both women. What begins as intrigue becomes need, and that need turns into something undeniably tender and profound.

J.L. Quick excels at crafting layered characters and rich emotional depth within an erotic framework. Shared is not just hot — it’s heart-wrenching, romantic, and fiercely honest about navigating love in a world with no rulebook. If you love complex poly dynamics, power exchange with emotional stakes, and characters that bleed on the page, this one is a must-read.

This is book five in the Men of Club Triskelion series, and Conor’s story did not disappoint. The dynamic between Conor, Victoria, and Elena was exactly what this series needed.

Conor is reluctantly forced by his brothers to participate in their bachelor auction event. He agrees, begrudgingly. When Victoria wins the bid, she surprises him by sharing their night with her partner, Elena. What starts as just a one-night arrangement quickly turns into something much deeper—something Conor has never experienced before. He’s never been with anyone more than once... but with Victoria and Elena, everything changes.

Victoria and Elena have been happy in their Domme/sub relationship, but Elena has been curious about occasionally adding a man to the mix. Being the attentive Domme that she is, Victoria takes Elena to the bachelor auction—and wins Conor. Their night together is hot, spicy, and everything Elena hoped for, but for Victoria, it was meant to be just one night.

Elena couldn’t be happier with Victoria’s care and devotion, but after their night with Conor, she can’t help but wonder if there could be something more. When Conor reaches out, the three of them agree to explore a relationship—and their world ignites with passion and possibility.

The heat between these three is absolutely off the charts. While Victoria is used to being the one in control, Conor challenges her to submit as well—something she wasn’t prepared for but finds herself craving under his supportive guidance. As their relationship unfolds, Victoria discovers a new side of herself, and Elena’s bond with both of them deepens in the most beautiful way. I especially loved the turning point in the story, where Elena stands strong, supporting her Doms during a terrifying situation.

While this book wasn't as action-packed as the previous four, it was exactly the story Conor deserved. Emotional, spicy, and full of growth, it hit all the right notes.

If you're looking for a mafia romance featuring a bachelor auction, sizzling chemistry, and a powerful found family theme, Shared needs to be at the top of your reading list!

Conor has been my favorite brother since book one and J.L Quick did not disappoint with this book! Like in every book, the Evans brothers' banter was top-notch and had me cracking up in the first chapter. The sisterhood within the family was also fantastic and, of course, all the girls welcomed Vic & Elena in with open arms. I just love this family and I can't believe it's almost over.

I loved reading Mr. I'll never settle down and fall so hard for Vic & Elena. The struggle between the two Doms, Conor and Vic, was written so perfectly, along with the issues that go with not only being in a throuple but also coming into an already-established relationship.

​The girls won Conor at the bachelor auction with the intention of it just being for one night, but no one could stop thinking about that night. Vic was a tough nut to crack and was worried about losing Elena to Conor if they brought him into their relationship. Conor definitely had some struggles in the beginning trying to figure out the new dynamic, but he put both of the girls first together and separately.

I absolutely loved this couple and the spice HOLY COW. Definitely the spiciest in the series. When Conor replaced the girls' toys with exact replicas of him, it led to probably the hottest scene in the book.

There were also some sad parts that had me tearing up, but reading the love grow between these 3 was just perfection, and I'm so happy Conor got his happily ever after.

Holy hotness! J.L. Quick never misses! Shared is the fifth book in the Men of Triskelion Series and is Conor’s story.

Shared was everything I wanted Conor’s story to be…fun, super steamy and ultimately ending with him finding his happily ever after. Elena was so sweet and exactly who I pictured Conor with. He is the perfect Dom, so who better for him than the perfect submissive. Well, hold on to your hats friends because in comes Victoria, a strong Domme who takes no crap and she is everything! The relationship these three have with each other was so perfect. I loved their dynamic as a group as well as separately. Of course, this being the last Evans’ brothers story I was crying so many times through this one but for that epilogue and their love story the tears are so worth it.

One a personal note: I always keep my reviews honest and this one is no different. Shared was actually my first book with any type of FF romance involved . I’ve always been hesitant to read these books for whatever reason. In case someone reading this is on the fence like I was I wanted to let you know how freaking hot the FF and the FFM scenes were. Give it a read….I promise you won’t regret it.❤️

Thank you to J.L. Quick for the ARC of this book and for these amazing Evans men.

This is the fifth book in the Men of Club Triskelion. I have read several although I don’t remember which ones. However, this book was completely different from the previous books. The other books were really mafia forward and then the relationship. This book focuses on a FF couple (Victoria and Elena) Victoria is the Domme and Elena is her submissive. They have been together several years but Elena wants to be intimate with a man. Both had previously been involved and intimate with men. Elena confesses her desire and Victoria knows the club is having an auction and that she wants Conor to satisfy Elena. Conor is persuaded into participating in the auction, since all his brothers are married and he is the only single guy. Conor doesn’t believe that he will get married or end up in a serious commitment relationship. In fact he’s been trying to avoid commitment. The intimacy between the three occurs immediately after the auction and it’s very hot. Now Conor himself is considered a Dom. So watching him defer his aggressiveness to allow Victoria to control the intimacy but , Conor’s determination that both woman be satisfied. What was supposed to be a single isolated event becomes so much more. In fact this becomes a full poly romance with everyone trying to fit and adjust to each other. Great story with lots of spice and a mystery and the dynamics of three people trying to make a relationship work.

✨ ARC REVIEW ✨

Rating: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 5/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

JL takes us back to the Evans brothers and let me tell you, it is Conor’s time to SHINE. This was his time to SHINE. I have been telling EVERYONE about this book because JL truly outdid herself with this one! Though this can be read as standalone, I strongly recommend reading the other books for better understanding of their universe and lifestyle.

We go back with the Evans brothers and focus in on Conor. He meets the ever so lovely couple Vic and Elena. I can assure you, not by choice either lol. But come to find out, he isn’t all that mad about it when he finds out he gets the two of them. We all know what a player Conor is.

The dynamic gets interesting when Victoria and Elena become more involved with Conor and their situationship gets a little more interesting. They start to explore what they all have and what all they can offer each other.

To say that this book is screaming with spice is putting it lightly. I loved everything about this book. I loved the dynamics in this book. I really enjoyed reading everyone’s viewpoint. But I especially loved the very ending and it gave me everything I wanted. This was the best ending in the series that I could have hoped for. Conor was definitely worth the wait!

So we have Victoria and Elena both bisexual women and have been in a Domme/sub relationship for a while.....but Elena is finding something is missing...she's wanting to explore with a male partner. Victoria is open to this too but still a bit hesitant as she doesn't want anyone else being a Dom to Elena! So when they end up at an auction at Club Triskelion she knows exactly who she wants for their one night...but what happens when they all want something more than one night!!??

Conor is the man in question and oh my gosh.....I'm telling you if you don't fall in love with this man then I don't know what else to say lol. He had me swooning he's one hot guy🥵 I really enjoyed the poly dynamic between these three and the FMF scenes were fire!!! 🔥 the story was fast paced and so much happened.....lots of spice and smut my kindle was on fire lol. I can't wait for more that's for sure!!! I love the whole family dynamic too, I mean these Evan brothers are something else if you don't fall in love with just one of them you fall in love with each and every one of them along with their women too.

When I first read J.L. Quick, she made me fall in love with these men, especially Conor and his fun loving demeanor. I knew Conor's love story was going to be complex. The being my first FFM love story was very eye opening. I love why choose stories because there is truly a complexity that comes from them. This one, while there was a lot of spicy bedroom scenes. I felt like I was missing more of the connect between Elena and Conor's relationship.

Victoria and Elena's relationship I thought was enchanting because you felt the love and dynamic from them. Victoria and Conor's relationship I thought really did develop and grow, while Elena and Conor's really didn't mesh together towards the end. I think I wanted more from both Conor and Elena. Elena, is sweet and the submissive but I think she could have been stronger. Tristan even told her that she had to be strong and I think she was but then no one was strong for her in the end. Like my heart went out for her my poor girl.

I don't know, don't get me wrong I loved the story overall, but I felt like Elena didn't get enough emotional support from Conor or Victoria in the end. I guess I wanted more! Anyways, I really did love the story in the end and the character growth from Victoria and Conor both! It's a bittersweet end because I loved these boys but I'm so glad they each got their happy ending!

This series has finally come to an end (except a novella) and it was a sweet and spicy journey. The Evans brothers have all my heart and damn it I won't choose no matter what. (It rhymed 🤭)
Conor is so special because he is special 😍. I love after teasing them all and giving his brothers shit he fell for two women 🥹. The two deserving women he deserves. This book is spicy, emotional, funny (well because the brothers) and lovely. I was waiting for them to give Con shit and they didn't disappoint (Well it was JL who didn't but ya know). This book will leave you satisfied and happy and emotional. Can't wait for you all to read this book 👀. I laughed out loud so many times while reading this book— especially the brother's warning. I enjoyed this book in a single sitting and even if I would have found JL through this series I would devour it all (cringe 😬 ik).
Also can't forget about Vic and Elena. These lovely ladies fought with the world to be together and then again to be with con. They deserve everything together. I loved Vic's dominance with Elena's submission 🫠. They knew when to pick each other and support them. Their character grew together complementing each other and Con. I will miss this series a lot🥹. (Also sad but Con couldn't be a good boy 😔😩.)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

I adored Conor, Victoria, and Elena’s story. 🥹 There is spice and fear and vulnerability and sadness and violence and I loved watching these characters navigate this life together.

THOUGHTS 💭
🖤 Conor has been a jokester and a sh*t-stirrer throughout this series and I loved watching him get corralled into participating in a bachelor auction that changes his life at the start of this book.
💛 Victoria (D) and Elena’s (s) relationship is so sweet, supportive, and caring. I loved the FF D/s dynamic between these two and really enjoyed watching their loving relationship expand and evolve to include Conor.
🖤 The spice is S P I C Y, whether the scenes include two of our MCs or all three.
💛 Watching the playboy fall for someone (or two someones, in this case) and give up their philandering ways is one of my favorite things. Seeing Conor go from unequivocal bachelor to dedicated relationship man was wonderful.
🖤 We not only get Conor, Victoria, and Elena’s story, but a peek into all of the Evans’ brothers and their wives/families lives as they live out their HEA.
💛 This is a mafia “light” book - though it’s a mafia romance, the main focus is on Conor and his relationship with Vic and Elena.

Thank you so much to JL Quick for the ARC of this book!

I'm so sad that the series is winding down!!! This whole universe has been so chaotic and fun through each story, Connor, Elena, and Victoria's love story was so perfect!

Elena and Victoria are in a domme sub relationship, when Elena comes to Victoria to express she misses being with men Victoria does what any loving domme will do and takes the steps to make her girl happy and she has the perfect opportunity and person in mind!

To Connors dismay his sister in law Layla is forcing him into a bachelor auction, when he steps on stage and the bidding goes wild out flirty, playboy Connor is loving it. An hes more overjoyed when Victoria wins that bid and he gets to spend a night with her and Elena, which unknowingly becomes more.

Watching Elena, Victoria, and Connor fall in love was so beautiful! None of them planned to fall as hard as they did, but it made their love and connection all that more special. Connor changing for his girls, Victoria leaning into her submission more, and Elena learning her power she truly has as a submissive (shout out Tristan having that talk with her!) their love is truly healing for all of them in ways they didn't know they needed! 🖤

❤️🖤Do yourself a favor. Make sure the two of you don't fall in love with me.❤️🖤

Famous last words of the last Evans brother. And what would you guess, he is the first to fall. The first to beg for more from their arrangement. Shared by JL Quick is the fifth installment of the Men of Club Triskelion series, which follows Conor Evans. It starts off with a bang, by Conor being entered into an auction at the brothers' BDSM club, since he is the last man standing. Enter Victoria and Elena. They are in their own happy Domme/Sub relationship, but both are looking for a bit more and want to experiment with adding a man to the equation, so they bid on and win him in the auction. Everyone agrees that it is for one night only, but we all know how that is going to work out. It leads into the arrangement where he will join when they want. But of course, he is the one that catches feelings first. And down go the dominoes. They all fall one by one. But Victoria is always in control, she is a Domme afterall. And when something happens, she realizes that she needs to quick holding back and quit trying to control everything. These three come back together and forge a tight knit family with the rest of the Evans's. I loved this one so much. Conor has such a dominating personality and to read him becoming submissive for Victoria and then vice versa...amazing. Another 5 ⭐️ read for ARCril and another one knocked out of the park for this series.

We've known throughout this series that Conor was going to be the wildest and boy was he. He couldn't just find one girl, he had to go for two and on top of that he bends a Domme to his will as well? Typical, Conor and just as expected, but there was so much more to him than anticipated. His soft and caring side really came out with Elena and Victoria and I truly loved seeing Conor finally get his forever. These three sure knew how to heat up some sheets (or couches) and I loved the dynamic between the three of them and the trust that they built together. Especially as Conor worked to get Victoria to embrace her non-Domme side as well.

The brotherly banter in Shared is top notch and true to the Evan's brothers and had me cracking up because you can't help but love them all and their quirks. There was a hit of suspense to get the heart racing along the way and of course the most perfect HEA that was so true to Conor and I laughed so hard at his fate because it was shared perfection!

🖤Sex Club
🖤MFF

Well well WELL. Anyone who has read all of the books about the Evans brothers has been privy to Conor's personality throughout, so, it's no wonder he is the last in this series from JL Quick. And, Conor finds himself in a throuple.

Conor unwittingly finds himself being auctioned off for one night. He never expected that this would involve a very confident Domme, Victoria, and her submissive Elena. They have an enduring relationship, but Elena expresses a desire to have a man bought into their dynamic but little did they know, that this one night would make them ALL want more. With this, comes worry that the strength of the women's relationship will be torn apart by bringing Conor into the relationship, and Victoria being the Dominant, and Conor is as well, that this will break it apart. Neither of them expects that the one night, would become more. Conor's life, however, threatens this further, and also exposes the truth even Victoria didn't want to face. This was a powerful, beautifully written read and I have loved each of the Evans' for different reasons. Thank you JL, I loved this.

5/5⭐️

I know I say this about every JL Quick book but this one is 100% my newest favorite! Conor was absolutely such a love and oh god JL you made my heart absolutely stop with that one scene! Victoria and Elena I’m obsessed with these two. When they are all together the chemistry and passion you can feel through the book. This one was a fast paced read and I totally read it in one sitting. Without giving too much away it’s a spicy one and I totally recommend!

Tropes:
👯‍♀️FFM
👯‍♀️established couple (FF)
👯‍♀️BDSM
👯‍♀️bachelor auction

👯‍♀️reformed playboy

Needless to say, I ran to sign up for this arc when i saw it, I love a good FFM story (underappreciated!!) Victoria and Elena are in a long-term relationship and Victoria will stop at nothing to do anything that Elena loves, even if it means fulfilling her fantasy of adding a man to their dynamic. What they thought would be one night could turn into something that lasts a lifetime.

This book was RAW with emotion, but didn't skimp on the spice by any means 🔥🔥. The relationship that developed between these three characters was so genuine. The heartbreak was absolutely real, and i was indeed bawling my eyes out, but the journey that went on to get to their HEA was absolutely worth it. they needed to break themselves and their walls, to truly get to a place where the three of them felt like equals in their relationship.

And can't complain about seeing all the other brothers and their partners :) <3. Thank you to J.L. and The Author Agency for the eARC! Shared is out now!
