Monstrous Survivors #3
Piece Us Together
It all started with Maison’s little brother, taken from him by his enemies. It was a mess of danger and heartbreak. A love story or two even came out of it all, one of them between his brother and the best friend meant to only save him. Their relationship as brothers is hanging by a thread.
It’s not all bad, though. The mess brought a man named Nolan into his life. A sunshine boy who sits by the fire with him at night, not making him speak his horrors out loud, the two of them just existing, alive, free, safe. Nolan is the happy ending to something he never expected to end happily. He’s everything Maison could possibly need.
The problem? Maison isn’t everything Nolan could need. He can’t be. He isn’t built that way.
It’s time Maison asks someone for help.
The last time he saw Hunter Meridian, the man was at the other end of his weapon, accidentally caught up in a bad night. He has no reason to want to help them.
Hunter is a good man, though. More than that, he’s a good dom. He’ll do anything to help. He just has to figure out a way not to fall in love with them while doing it. Maison doesn’t think he and Nolan will have that problem. He’s confident, even.
Except, Maison can’t stop thinking about that kintsugi art, where art is made from broken pottery. He and Nolan are broken, cracked right down the middle and split into pieces, and Hunter just might be liquid gold, ready to pour into their cracks until the three of them are something whole, something beautiful. How can he and Nolan walk away from that?
** this is book 3 in the monstrous survivors series, but it is book 2 of Nolan and Maison's story. You must at least read book 2 of the series (Pieces of Us) to understand what happens in this book. There is a partner added, making this book mmm with a HEA.

Yeah yeah alright so maybe this was actually good or whatever. I still have a few complaints mainly wishing that the author had made use of Nolan a bit better in this one but fuck Hunter got me alright? He wormed his way into my brain and now I'm forced to admit that this was probably some of the very best BDSM scenes I've read in a long while so there T.J. Hamel, you won. I'm gonna keep crawling back for more no matter how many times we do reruns of One Last Time because dammit sometimes you create magic

I am so incredibly happy that Maison got his HEA and was working on his self-care 🥹🥹🥹 It took me a really long time to be ready for his story, but now he's my favourite character in this series and I'm kinda sad to be leaving his POV.
Nolan is just so sweet and seeing him get to be happy was also such a great feeling. He's come such a long way from the first book, and I loved the relationship dynamics between him, Maison and Hunter.
Hunter is just a unicorn! He's so incredibly strong, knows how to give both Maison and Nolan what they need, and manages to be an absolute sweetheart while he's doing it too. Definitely swoon worthy 😍
I've really enjoyed getting to know all of these characters so far, and I'm really hopeful we're going to get stories for Matt, Ace, Bryce and Keats at the very least!

Maison • Nolan • Hunter…♾️.
….
“…like another layer, like a binding agent, gold spilling between cracks in glass.”
….
I cried. The absoluteness of this book. The fire confessions. That pure, honest submission and domination with a hint of vulnerability we don’t see often enough. The ultra dynamic between these three wonder of man. Nolan’s bravery and heart. Hunter’s patience and care. Maison’s salvation and mind. That sublime closure. I knew we would get it all. But that caliber of it. Taylor like. You didn’t spare us. I am keeping these boys forever and always so close to my chest. I will never be done with them. I am leaving with an altered soul. I lived this story. I could write a dissertation about this book but I am a firm believer in less being so much more meaningful. This book speaks for itself. I bow down to you Taylor. The trilogy. This series. The power you give back.
Absolute.

Hands down one of my top reads this year and definitely my favourite from T. J. Hamel.
I don’t even know how to properly explain my feelings at the moment.
As we know from book 1, Maison and Nolan are very much in love but not really compatible because Nolan craves something Mais can’t give him.
Being the amazing boyfriend that he is, Maison seeks out help from Hunter. The dom he once pointed a gun at.
Now I want to very clearly state that this was a beautifully written MMM romance with no one being left out. My review will mainly focus on Maison and Hunter though because I feel like Nolan was the main focus in book 1 and the beginning of this book.
The communication was out of this world and Hunter is one of the best dom’s I have read about. He really was all knowing and stern, but he was also such a damn softie. The way he read both of them so easily, the way he was always honest, with where he stands. The man is the greenest flag and I’m in love with him.
And my poor baby Maison. We’re already aware how much he’s been through from Carter’s book. We get the events from that night even from Jake’s POV. The trauma runs deeper than that, though. He was hurting so much and the moment when he finally let it all go, was the most beautiful thing to witness.
I’m obsessed with their dynamic. Each of them gives the other something unique. All of them didn’t fit perfectly together, but they pored gold on their cracks and now they’re beautiful art!😭
While Maison annoyed me a little in Carter’s book, I never held it against him, as I could see how deeply he was struggling too. It made me unbelievably happy to see him heal. This book put me back together, piece by piece!
I could have read a thousand more pages about those three adorable men! Everything, from the writing, to the emotions, to the amount of angst and turmoil was perfection. This one will stay with me for a long time!

gosh i loved this so much. i'm glad Maison got all the attention he deserved in this one, its how almost everything was circling around him that had me devouring all 640 pages of this. I'm so glad he and Nolan found their HEA with Hunter - the sweetest dom ever, wish I had one of him too ngl. My heart broke for him for everything he's been through, the guilt, the self harming, and how he was so adamant that he didnt deserve help and denied Hunter, until he finally realised that he needed someone to take care of him, remove the weight of the world he had on his shoulders. and that scene with Carter, i almost sobbed, it was everything i needed from Carter. The things they told each other and reconnected was sooo heart warming. what else... the author did an amazing job making us want Hunter for both Nolan and Maison, after they'd fallen so hard for each other. But they were so both broken, they both needed him in their lives. Also the dialogue was really smooth and flowed naturally, except when there was teasing between them and the other guys, matt, bryce etc, then it came off a little cringey and toddlery, but meh who cares about that compared to how amazing this whole story was. One of the best MMM books I've read <33 I'll be making this book my new personality for the foreseeable future.

Hunter Meridian, I’d be so good for you 🧎♀️🧎♀️🧎♀️
All jokes aside, this book was an absolute work of art. Maison, Nolan, and Hunter slotted together so naturally, with gold filling every broken piece between them. Their journey—particularly Maison’s, as he grapples with complex PTSD—is turbulent and raw, but it’s also tender, healing, and handled with immense care.
The communication and kink representation was on point. It was refreshing, grounded, and deeply emotional, I found myself alternating between crying and metaphorically fanning myself. Although the book initially focuses on Nolan, it was Hunter and Maison who stole my heart. Watching Hunter slowly coax Maison out of his bratty, guarded shell and help him release some of the weight he carries was incredibly cathartic. I don’t think I’ve ever been so invested in a character’s recovery arc, and TJ wrote it with nuance, realism, and deep respect.
That said, Nolan is by no means a background character. This is one of the most balanced MMM dynamics I’ve read, both emotionally and sexually. Each man has his own place in the relationship, and together they feel whole. The spice was absolutely spicing, the emotions hit hard, and the tears came freely.
I could easily read another entire book about these three. I’m not ready to let go. It’s my favourite in the Monstrous Deeds world so far, and absolutely worth reading, even if polyamory isn’t usually your thing.

Well. This was the greatest thing to ever happen to me. Everything about this journey was perfect. It was everything I hoped it would be and oh so much more. After so many consecutive 5 star books in a row Taylor/TJ has solidified herself as my favorite author. She breaks my book slumps just to throw me back into them once I finish her next book.
Maison is easily my favorite character of hers. How can this broken boy not be? I was so hoping that this book would be all about him and his healing (because lets be real, HE NEEDED THAT) and it was that PLUS SOME. Hunter and Nolan are perfect for him. Even better, they are all perfect for each other. Remove one of them from the relationship and the whole thing collapses. Each of them is required. Truly one of the best MMM dynamics I've ever read. I could have read another 650 pages of these guys. I am also beyond excited for future books!!!
also, THE CAMOES GAVE ME LIFE!
I highly recommend reading this series in order! Start with These Monstrous Deeds.

I had to sit with this a bit before I wrote my review.
Maison is not my favorite character and I don’t think he ever will be, however I understand he has a FUCKTON of unresolved trauma. It made me really sad these last two books to see what he was going through because prior to them I DID NOT LIKE THIS MAN. But he puts on a great face to mask his turmoil. His path to healing and love was rough, but once he accepted what Hunter was offering them he fell into it so beautifully.
Hunter has the patience of a saint. Truly. There were so many times I was frustrated as the reader but Hunter chose patience, even when it was breaking him inside. He truly is the gold that pieces everyone together.
Nolan is just perfect. A subby little ray of sunshine that was getting his cake and eating it too (as he said). And really, he and Maison both deserved to be greedy.
I would have loved to see them interacting with the others at kink group as an established throuple.

You know how you wait so long for something (eight months to be exact), and you build it up so much in your head that you start to fear it can't possibly be as good as you hope it'll be?
Well. THIS WAS EVEN BETTER THAN I HOPED.
It was worth the wait. It was worth all the longing and hoping. It was worth absolutely everything.
I can't lose Nolan, but I can't hold onto him either, not like this. I won't survive it. I won't survive a lifetime of watching him settle. Of pretending. Of waiting for the day we break apart in a way no amount of gold can piece us together.
Nolan is the best good boy. I loved getting to see him so spoiled and get everything he wanted after what he went through. I felt so bad for him experiencing all that shame in the first book for the things he wanted, but it was incredibly satisfying seeing him finally accept all of it and get it. (With two sexy, loving men at that!) He deserved his HEA and all the attention these men showered on him.
I don't deserve anything. Because I ruin every fucking thing I touch.
Maison. Oh, my sweet baby Maison. After the Monstrous Deeds series, I didn't expect to love this guy as much as I do now. He must be protected at all costs.
"I'm not a sub. I'm not anything." "Oh, sad eyes, you have no idea what you could be."
Sad eyes?! Ughhh. Sad eyes. That hit. This man broke my fucking heart. The pure, raw emotions this man displayed had me sobbing. I hate how much guilt he carried around with him, how heavy those burdens were. It was heartbreaking. I loved how he needed Hunter just as much as Nolan did. He found Hunter for Nolan, but he didn't expect to need him too. I feel like, more than anyone in this entire series, Maison deserved his HEA, and his was the most satisfying of all.
I'm falling for each of them. Or maybe falling for the combination of them. Or maybe just falling, hopelessly, for all of it, all of us, all of what we could be.
Hunter fucking Meridian. Oh. My. Gahd. I knew I was going to love him, but I was not prepared for how obsessed I'd become. He was perfect. There's no other word for it. He was exactly what these two broken boys needed, and I'll forever love him and be thankful he fell for them. I think I needed Hunter's healing skills as much as his two boys did.
This was also such a long book, like crazy long. Thank you, Taylor, for spoiling us with so many words for these three men. Even though it was so long, I found myself getting sadder and sadder the closer I got to the end. I wasn't ready for it to be over. I could honestly read these three men forever and be perfectly happy.
I'm really looking forward to all the other survivors' stories, but I don't know how I'll ever move on from these boys.

Hunter entering the stage to piece Maison and Nolan together, giving them what they need what never could’ve given each other without him.
Beautiful and heartbreaking to witness. Overall though, I’m a bit disappointed. I had hoped for a bit more action in these books but besides being closely connected to the Monstrous Deeds series there was not much of the dark thrill left. Mainly hurt/comfort and a lot of kink. And while all these parts were necessary for their healing in the aftermath of the operation this felt too long-winded.
Still, I’m super excited that the author plans on writing at least three more books for the remaining survivors and operatives.

this was everything i needed it to be and so much more. i love these three so much but especially hunter 🧎🏻♀️
October 9, 2025
I love the whole series, and I was really excited for this one. It made sense for Nolan and Maison. I really wanted to like it - I truly did. But all I felt while reading was sympathy for Nolan.
I get that this book focuses more on Maison, but oh my god, that’s exactly why I struggle with MMM romances. I witnessed Maison falling hard for Hunter, and Hunter falling even harder for Maison, but no one falling for Nolan. There was yearning and heat between Hunter and Maison, but Nolan just felt like he was there - Maison’s boyfriend, included more out of obligation than connection. Honestly, if not for the sex, he wouldn’t have felt necessary to Maison and Hunter’s relationship. Just a random sub and a random dom. There was no real connection between Hunter and Nolan outside of their scenes together. I would’ve loved some internal dialogue from each of them about how they couldn’t help but fall in love, the same way we got for Hunter and Maison. Instead, the only thing we got was something along the lines of, “I fell for him too.” Well.
What hurt me most (among other things) was how Hunter downplayed Nolan’s trauma. He didn’t react nearly the same way he did to Maison’s story (and don’t even get me started on how that story was told, starting with Nolan and then skipping over it to focus on Maison!).
Also, did anyone else notice how Hunter and Maison said “I love you” to each other on multiple occasions when they were alone, but Nolan never got his own? All he got from Hunter was an “I love you boys.” Even Maison, after he fully opened up to Hunter, stopped telling Nolan he loved him.
It’s honestly sad. And the worst part is how the author turned Nolan into someone who’s just okay with everything, as if that would keep readers from noticing something was wrong.
I feel so disappointed, I wish I never picked up this last book, so I could pretend that there is a different ending.
I read a book with a similar topic to this one - the characters and their dynamics were alike, but done much better. So I’d recommend checking out Finding Ian by Riley Hart. :)
I get that this book focuses more on Maison, but oh my god, that’s exactly why I struggle with MMM romances. I witnessed Maison falling hard for Hunter, and Hunter falling even harder for Maison, but no one falling for Nolan.

Sometimes 3 souls are meant to find each other…Maison was meant to find both Nolan and Hunter. Nolan was meant for Maison and Hunter. And my Hunter…this beautiful man deserved the world.
Each man carried so much weight but together they were able to share it and find their ability to breathe freely again. Hunter needing desperately to be loved and kept needed by his boys. Nolan-so desperate to submit and be owned-belong. Maison the man who carried the weight of the world just wanted to give up that responsibility and let someone else take care of it…..these broken boys because they were broken were found more beautiful then before-together.
I loved the journey of healing Taylor took Maison on and like the others her emphasis on therapy for healing and how this found family has given so much love and support to eachother.

This has just become one of my favourite books ever. I've just finished it for the first time and about to re read it again. I could have highlighted most of it.
A highly emotional story of Maison and Nolan getting their hea with Hunter that I strongly recommend. They fought hard but truly deserved it.
I loved this one and the whole series. I look forward to more from this author.

While I’m glad Carter finally acknowledged Maison’s trauma. I wish that had been a little longer and just a little tougher than just one conversation.
Thank you Carter, I’m glad you noticed.

Väldigt bra, men något långdragen i mitten. Nolan fick kanske lite lite utrymme, men jag gillade verkligen Hunter. Och Maison såklart (som gjorde en väldigt stor resa i denna bok).

6⭐️ To think that at first I wasn’t even going to read this after Drown in You, and because it's MMM (instead MM), it didn't interest me that much. However, this turned out to be one of my top reads. 630 pages, and I could have read another 600 pages about Maison, Nolan, and Hunter.
The story of Maison and Nolan was already really beautiful, but with Hunter entering the picture, it's something indescribable. Nothing I could write about the book would be enough to describe it well enough. All the emotions that are explored here, and there are many.
Maison became perhaps my favorite character in the entire Monstrous Deeds and Monstrous Survivors series. Piece Us Together focuses most on Maison and the trauma he has gone through and how he finally digs himself out of the darkest places with the help of Hunter (and Nolan). The book has many touching and profound moments and conversations.
Like I mentioned, I don't usually lean toward MMM and first was a bit hesitant and I couldn't quite imagine how the dynamics between these three would play out, but it was really well written, all the pieces fell perfectly into place, and their chemistry and love is evident on every page. Although there are also many spicy scenes in the book, all of these scenes are so much more than that. And also, even though the book is very long, there were no unnecessary scenes. The whole book... just... wow.
_______
’And Maison—he’s something I never saw coming. Not in a million fucking years. He’s a walking contradiction. He’s dominant, but not. Submissive, but not. He’s strong and vulnerable, closed off and trusting. He’s terrified and brave. He’s all hard lines and cold looks and forced smiles. He’s all gasped breaths and flushed cheeks and whimpers. He’s a set of dog tags he keeps hidden and shirts he refuses to remove. He’s a man who fiercely protects, who would do anything for those he loves, who willingly hands over his boyfriend to me. He’s all secrets and truths, hating me, trusting me, looking at me like I disgust him, looking at me like I could save him. He terrifies me in ways I never knew I could be afraid. He makes me unsteady. Unsure. Unconfident. And yet, in the moments when he trusts me, when he leans into my touch, when he quiets under my control, he makes me feel invincible.’
_______
’I sag against the wall as the true realization that he has complete control washes over me. Hunter has it now. He has me. He’ll take care of everything. I’m safe. I’m free. I’m free, I’m free, I’m free.
_______
“You know what I care about most out of everything you’ve done?”
He looks terrified, his voice a weak tremble as he asks, “What?”
”You came back.” I smile, leaning in to press my forehead to his. “You came back to me. That’s what matters, okay?”

Oh Mason. Baby :( I’m so glad I pushed though. This absolutely broke me and put me back together again. I only gave the first of Masons story 3 stars but this just blew me away. The 3 of them together were so perfect. I still stand by I can’t stand Carter but masons. Oh I love his so much 🥹 I’m so glad he got his ending he deserved.

Let me preface this review by saying I am not typically a fan of MMM relationships, or really any relationships involving three people because I usually get a feeling of imbalance between the three; that being said this is the best MMM book I have ever read. The power dynamics were perfect & everyone’s role & love felt equal. Getting to know Nolan & Maison’s bond in book one helped us to see that sometimes love isn’t enough to make a partner feel fulfilled. These two truly needed Hunter in more than just a sexual way & we really felt how his presence made them whole. Hunter healed something within them that only he could do & his inner monologue had me a mess at times but also swooning like crazy. My sweet, sweet Maison…the most broken of boys. His struggle had me a whole ass wreck. He will go down as one of my favorite characters of all time. This is hands down my favorite of the series so far. This world that Taylor has created for us & the characters she is giving us are so beautiful & unique & have stolen my heart.

Holy fuck, this book. This book had me up all night and then when I finally fell asleep I was dreaming about it. Fuck my life this book was all consuming and then some.
First, I want to give Maison a fucking hug. I felt as though the plot shifted to more so of Maison and Hunter instead of Nolan, Hunter, and Maison. But I get that it was necessary for the plot. Maison had so much to work through after suppressing so much emotions and turmoil. Maison was so guarded and also self-sabotaging it was so relieving after he finally started to let go. It was a beauty of emotions.
Second, this book is spicy as shit! Fuckkkkk! I have read some raunchy stuff but I think this was absolutely genius. Purely evil smutty genius. I think it’s all apart of Taylor’s evil plan. Needless to say I’m fucking hooked like a druggie. I felt that their dynamic worked so perfectly, they all fit together so well. Nolan got what he wanted, I didn’t think I would feel some type of way about his desires and fantasies, but I felt they were a beautiful thing to read. I wanted more, I felt like I was literally blushing so much throughout this entire book. Is it weird that I like when someone safe-words in a book? That has to be weird, right? Idk I just feel like they are taking care of themselves instead of trying to push through their trauma to make their partners happy. Although, I think I would’ve liked Nolan to safe word at least “yellow” when Hunter used the cane on him. I felt he was trying to push through when he at least should’ve talked through it. I felt the praise he would’ve received from Hunter would’ve been amazing. I’m not sure how accurate kink dynamics in reality, I don’t have any experience or In depth knowledge, but I can tell I felt as though it was some of the safest, consensual, healthiest, and well represented kink dynamics that I’ve ever read. And not just a sprinkle of it. The partners were in constant communication, always checking in. I felt as though Maison might be the exception to the rule because he was still battling a lot from within himself. I felt Hunter was such a good Dom. One of the best Doms I’ve ever read. Honestly I’m pretty sure this is my favorite book in the series. The first book a close second. I still can’t get over the spice.
Third, the details in this series was some of the best. I said this in the first and second book, but I would like to add it here. The details of the plot flowed so well that I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Only maybe Maison getting help sooner? He was far too deep, but understanding those circumstances with Hunter and their dynamic to not allow himself to submit and holding back. My only little criticism would maybe be the size, age, build, height comparison. I wanted to know was Maison looking down or up to Hunter. Same with Nolan and Hunter. I know that Maison didn’t fit into Hunters clothes, so what was Hunter’s build like.
Finally, I genuinely hope and pray and send whatever necessary vibes that this series isn’t over. Selfishly, I would love to read a novella with Hunter, Nolan, and Maison. (Spoiler alert: because I felt as though the “gift” Maison gave Hunter was not necessarily unfinished, I just wanted more because I’m greedy and can’t get enough) I would love to read about Bryce and Keats, and Ace and Matt. Hell even Max and Ronan. Or maybe another why choose dynamic in there. The possibilities are endless and I feel as though each survivor should get their happy endings. I would be disappointed, especially when those little teasing moments of Matt and Ace kissing, and then talk and teasing of both Bryce and Keats. Hell I felt like there was even teasing moments of Max in there. Please, please, please, please I’m begging you Taylor please give us more stories and novellas. 🧎♀️
Definitely one of my favorite series ever. The spice and plot was bar none some of the best I’ve ever written. Definitely I knew fan girl.
Okay now I’m going to go take a nap because I haven’t slept in 4 days!
***UPDATE REVIEW POST: approximately 12 minutes later, I’m down a rabbit hole and got a lot of questions and wants from my original post. On Patreon and it doesn’t fucking disappoint in the slightest. Halle-fucking-luha!

I'm honestly speechless. Finishing the last book in this series—for now—has left me completely overwhelmed. I don't even have the words to describe how deeply these characters have carved their place into my heart. Reading Taylor McNiff's books isn't just reading—it's feeling. She has this rare, magical ability to make you experience every emotion right alongside her characters, as if you're living it all with them.
The first book in this duet already made it clear: Maison is the most heartbreakingly broken character I’ve ever come across. He never believed anyone would truly stay—until Nolan sat beside him in the dark, by the fire. But even that wasn’t enough to fully piece him back together… and then came Hunter, the final missing piece—their golden thread. Together, Nolan, Maison, and Hunter form a connection that just makes sense. I’ve never read an MMM relationship that felt this natural, this necessary, this right. They need one another to find balance, to truly be whole.
And don’t even get me started on McNiff’s writing—she always finds a way to pull at my heartstrings. There’s something so intentional and poetic about the way she anchors her stories in one central theme or metaphor and weaves it seamlessly through the entire narrative. It never feels overdone—it feels perfect. It’s exactly what the characters need, and it hits me in all the right places. And yes… I cry. Every. Single. Time.
I’m already counting down the days until I can dive into Matt’s and Ace’s story. Taylor McNiff has me completely hooked.

This is the second half of a duet which is book three of the Monstrous Survivors series which must be read AFTER the Monstrous Deeds series. Make sense? Good.🤭
Maison and Nolan's relationship is new, but straining under the pressure of Maison's trauma and Nolan's need to be submissive. Maison can't bear to make himself dominate Nolan after knowing and seeing firsthand what Nolan has been through as a trafficking victim, but he'll do anything for Nolan's happiness and seeks out Hunter Meridian to be Nolan's Dom...👀
This is the best MMM I've ever read. The way these three men find each other and fit together is exquisite. As with every other book leading up to this one, this is a hard earned HEA, but the road to getting there is one of the most perfectly told stories I've ever read. It was such a new concept to see a couple that was very much in love and needed each other but weren't compatible sëxually. The way that Maison was willing to do whatever it took for Nolan to get what he needed was just next level. And Hunter...🥹 Hunter was just perfection, and I adored how hard and how fast he fell for them both. Their dynamic is beautiful from the start, but once Maison lets go and truly admits to himself and his guys what he's going through and what he needs, this story becomes transcendent.😭
If you're looking for the most excellent use of kink as trauma healing, a perfectly matched throuple, and buckets of tears, this book is for you.🩷
