Masked Men

You're Ours Now

Rate this book
Love is my favorite thing in the world. The grand gestures, the butterflies, the happily ever after. I live for it all. The problem? My love life is a total disaster. No one ever measures up to my three best friends—Storm, Zayne, and Julius. They’re perfect in every way . . . except for the tiny detail that they don’t see me as anything more than a friend.

When an invitation to a Valentine’s Day themed matchmaking show lands in my email inbox, I think, Why not put my heart out there? Sign me up. Filming my video feels like a dream until I accidentally mention my fantasies about masked men and a little spice in the bedroom.

Fast forward to the big day, and I’m ready to meet my match. However, when I arrive, I’m not greeted by one man . . . but three. All masked. All confident. All dangerously familiar. As the night unfolds, these men teach me something I’ve never let myself it’s okay to want what I want.

This Valentine’s Day, my love life might finally stop being a disaster.

And sometimes the happily ever after you’ve been chasing is right in front of you.

Hot but full of missed opportunities for some good relationship development.
The moments were there, it’s just long enough to have at least a couple of them, but they got passed over in favor of the characters’ internal agonizing.

Masked men. Primal play. Why choose. Friends to lovers. It had the bones of something feral and it was a fun time but I can’t lie— like most novellas, it fell a little short for me. The relationship development opportunities for these characters could have made for something so much more. Instead it kind of skimmed the surface and rushed through what could’ve been something really good.

Still, if you're in the mood for something quick, spicy and devoid of anything substantial, you’ll probably like it.

Wowsers, for a quick read this sure had a lot of … action.

This masked men why choose novella does not mess around - Mellie is keen to try some more than vanilla play time, which she lets slip in an interview for a reality TV show where she hopes to find someone who can live up to her fantasy.

So when she arrives for the date at an abandoned resort and a masked man tells her to run …. Well, she runs, but can’t wait to get caught …. But she gets more than she bargained for with THREE masked strangers having their way with her (fully consented to. She agrees to everything. No blurred lines here. Good, clean, filthy fun)

So when she goes home to her three besties / housemates / super hot guys she has crushed on her entire life …. She wants more. But what will her boys think of her if they ever discover the truth?

This novella punches well above its weight!

Includes all our fave tropes and blurs the lines with some triggers….
Masked Men
Anonymous partner (s)
Why choose
Valentine’s Day
Self acceptance
Fantasy role play (k1nky fantasy, not elf & dragons fantasy)
Primal play (non violent, chase only)
Hidden identity
Group activities (sharing is caring)

Potential triggers:
Unprotected smexy time (cnc on this part only)
Anonymous smexy time
Fear play (darkness, hiding)


MMFM

Multi POV
1st Person

When i say quick read, this was a one sitting about one hour read for me.

Spice levels are high. Like, HIGH. Like, three eggplants and a peach, in multiple combinations.

Buckle up and enjoy the adventure!

I revived an ARC for this and first time reading both of these authors.

The writing is well done and makes me want to read more from both of these authors especially the Masked Men Series. The spice woah the spice so well done and hot! Mellie and her men *fans self*. Love the plot of her being able to finally live out her fantasies and the way her men did it. I'm always here for a good friends to lovers and add in why choose and mm and I'm definitely here for it.

No lie, the author/mom notes in front of these make me laugh. I kinda love the dichotomy of a mom-side saying "absolutely don't do this thing" and an author-side saying "yeah, absolutely get your freak on with this thing". Anyway. Be safe and don't do the thing, but totally feel free to read about the thing.

So. Mellie accidentally bares her soul during a taped interview for a matchmaking show and one of her BFFs happens to work at the place running said show. So the interview lands in his inbox and HECK YEAH his BFF wants him and their other best friends to do very naughty things to her. Okay, maybe she didn't actually say she wanted THEM to do those naughty things, but they could infer what she meant.

Now Storm, Zayne, and Julius are planning on giving Mellie the absolute BEST V-Day surprise - all her accidentally revealed fantasies come to life. Of course, they can't let her know it's them behind the masks and none are super keen on keeping this secret, but they'll cross that bridge when they come to it.

One abandoned resort, a few sexy games of chase, a whole lot of heat, and a foursome that is going to find a way make things work no matter what!

Mellie loves love, but no-one in her life has ever measured up to her 3 best friends. Zayne, Storm and Julius have set such impossible standards. She is keen to expand her sexual boundaries, which she accidentally lets slip in her audition for a reality TV dating show. When she shows up for the matchmaking date, she is surprised by not one, but three masked men. Over the extremely hot night, they teach her that it's okay to want what she wants.
I loved this super spicy Valentine’s Day themed read! I breezed through it so fast, not wanting to put it down, and HAVING to know what happened next. Jaye has such a brilliant way of building each character so differently and making you fall for each of them for their differences.

This book was interesting but really short. I guess you can can call it short but sweet well more like short but spicy.

○ MMMF
○ Besties to Lovers
○ A LOT OF Spice
○ Short Story

Mellie, Storm, Julius and Zayne are the best types of friends to have but of course what would it be like to turn that friendship into a relationship? Their chemistry is off the chains but the boys should have talked to her beforehand because it could have turned out completely different than it did.

You’re Ours Now (Masked Men Novella) by Jaye Pratt & Samantha Barrett
⭐⭐⭐ 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Standalone * Dark Romance * Valentine’s Day * Why Choose * Masked Men * Kink Program * Friends to Lovers * MM * MMFM * Chasing * Primal Play * Strangers
168 pages * 🎧3h02
🎙️ Narrated by Zachary Zaba and Stella Rose

I’ve been really enjoying this Masked Men series by Jaye Pratt, and this installment was co-written with Samantha Barrett, another author I enjoy. Since this one revolves around Valentine’s Day, I made sure to read it around that time (or at least close to it), which made it even more fun going in.

Unfortunately, this one wasn’t my favorite. I’m not sure if that was because I listened to it on audio, since I usually read these but it just never fully hit for me.

The premise was cute and fun, but there were a few too many moments where I wanted more depth and intensity, and it ended up feeling a bit lackluster. The three male characters blended together at times to the point where I occasionally struggled to distinguish who was who. I did really enjoy that two of them were already boyfriends, that’s always an element I love to see!

If I remember correctly, there’s really only one full moment where they’re all together, and I wish that discovery had happened earlier so we could’ve gotten an even more epic, scorching epilogue. We do get one, but it just didn’t quite land for me this time.

That said, even though this one was just an okay read for me, there are still strong elements here that might be exactly what someone else is looking for so I wouldn’t completely pass it up.

Book Review: You’re Ours Now – Jaye Pratt

What happens when you love love so hard your entire life unravels, and you end up legging it outta heartbreak town with your three ridiculously hot best friends? Apparently, you black out the memory of signing up for a LOVE ISLAND MEETS SAW kinda dating show until they email you and go: “Congrats, you’re in!” And instead of running for the hills? You show up, overshare everything, and confess you’ve got a monster crush on all your besties and a thing for sexy anonymous masked men.

At that moment, I paused, raised my hand, and screamed into the void:
“OH HEYOOO, IT’S ME—RYN—WHERE DO I SIGN UP FOR THIS SHOW!?”
Masked men? Poly tension? Valentine’s chaos in an abandoned ‘resort’ (yes, it’s that kinda chaos)? I was IN.

The writing? Unfiltered, chaotic good, like Jaye Pratt dumped glitter and chaos in a blender and hit “max speed.” I laughed, I screamed, I re-read spicy scenes with squinty eyes and a hand over my mouth. Imagine getting chased by pink-glow masked men and instead of running, you’re like… “Yesss, take me against the wall.”

We’ve got:
💋 Poly goodness galore
💥 Swords are crossing, emotions are high, and pants are flying
🔥 Possessiveness, confessionals, and Valentine’s-themed filth that made me sweat

All wrapped up in 140 pages of pure spicy serotonin.

Final thoughts?
You don’t pick up You’re Ours Now for a quiet night in—you pick it up when you want chaos, smut, and to seriously question why masked men in pastel aesthetics aren’t hunting you down because that’s what you want 10/10 would scream into a camera for love again.

Wow, more spice and with best friends who were all too scared to say they all wanted more because they thought it would ruin their friendship.

When you think you are going for a second callback for a dating show and end up in a remote rundown motel. You don’t expect your fantasies to come to life.

Zayne, Julius and Storm.

My pick is Storm, he has loved Maloney since they were 5 and he asked her to marry him.

Tropes - MMFM, masked men, best friends, asked to marry at age 5, friends to lovers, kinks, Valentine’s Day, childhood friends, spicy scenes, Gilmore girls, dating show, worshipped like a goddess, touch her and die

Triggers - masked men, cable ties, rundown motel, being chased, dating show, choking, primal play, dark and depraved sex, sexually owned but still have power, fucked like a cheap toy, taken against a wall, 2 is better than 1,

Friends to Lovers is such a great trope. I know it isn't as dramatic as some of the others, and I do believe friends can just be friends, but, man it is such a great foundation for more when that is what both (or in this case all four) want. The value of friendship over s€x is a beautiful piece of respect... but once these men let go... they let go. And sigh all the dreamy sighs. Similar to Are You Scared this isn't dark, so if you are looking for mask play and a bit of primal, but nothing too wild, this is a fun series to explore.

Why choose, primal play, best friends to lovers? Soo good. Mellie, had a non existent love life, she had 3 male best friends. She signed up for a “dating show” to try and find love. When one of her best friends Julian works for them sees her audition tape he tell his other 2 friends that they need to do something to help her out. Will they risk losing their best friend or will they gain a 4th in their trio

This was a very kinky take on Valentine’s Day. I liked how you seen how much the guys cared about her and that they struggled with the fact they lied originally to get her. I also love the introduction of Mellies den so you can see other unconvential relationships as I think this will be the base of the other books in the series

I really liked this one. I went it to it, looking for spicy, and I definitely got that. I liked Millie, but it was a little weird that she didn't even question it when she figured out it was Storm, Zayne, and Julius behind the masks. The boys were just great, period. You could feel the love they had for each other.

You’re Ours Now is the fourth book in the Masked Men series. It’s a fast paced why choose read between Mellie and her three best friends (male). Being based around Valentine’s Day it was the perfect spicy happily ever after read!!

3 masked men hunting the girl they've always wanted but didn't want to ruin their friendship. This was a Valentine's day novella full of spice and making fantasies come alive.

Holy hotness this book was everything I needed and more. Where can I get three best friends that will do anything to bring my deepest fantasy to life!!! The chemistry between these four characters...before and after the masks come off...cannot be described.

I am already obsessed with Samantha Barratt but now I am obsessed with Jaye Pratt. If you want a LOT of spice in your life before Valentines day this is your book. It's short, sweet, and spicy.

"Run and hide as best you can, baby. Tonight, we're going hunting, and make no mistake, Mellie,
you are our fu**ing prey."

All Mellie wants is love with a man like the relationship she has with her three best friends. Can one night change that?
I loved this book. If you want a quick dirty read this book is for you. The characters were great, especially the men. They are all so different but work great together. I enjoyed the plot and the twist with the dating show. I enjoyed how this book ended. Great read!!

What do you do when you're young and single, and your 3 best friends are hot AF men? You go on an audition for a dating show and confess to your masked men prial kink and use a combination of your 3 besties to explain your ideal man, of course! What Mellie fails to realise, however, is that one of her 3 men is the one who edits the audition tapes! 🫣

This is yet another amazing addition to Jaye's masked men series of Novellas, and an outstanding example of the seamless quality that can be produced when two talented authors who know each other so well combine forces to co-write. Jaye and Samantha did such a good job of co writing you can't pick which author wrote which part, it flows seamlessly!

The strength of the relationships between Mellie, Julius, Zayne and Storm is evident throughout the book and they really do all compliment one another perfectly! A perfect addition to the collection!

Tropes: Multiple POV, MMFM, Kink, Friends to lovers, Forced proximity, Why Choose, Masked Men, Polyamorous, Grumpy/Sunshine, Mistaken Identity, Protector/nurturer dynamic, Banter to love, First love, Found Family.

Triggers: Bodily fluids, Bondage, CNC, Fear, Graphic Sex, Nudity, Primal kink - being chased

What would you do if you were given the chance to live out your wildest fantasies for one night? Would you say yes or no?

This novella is short on plot but boy was it big on smut! And yep! I was all there for it!

While I’m not a big fan on novellas(I like more details!!!) this one did keep me interested and I finished it in one go!
If you’d like to be chased around an abandoned resort by Masked men, this one is for you!
