Their Virgin Mistress

Rate this book
One wild night leads to heartache…

Tori Glen loves her new job as an image consultant for Thurston-Hughes Inc. The trouble is, she’s also in love with the three brothers who own it, Oliver, Rory, and Callum. They’re handsome, successful, aristocratic, and way out of this small-town Texas girl’s league. So she remains a loyal professional—until the night she finds a heartbroken Oliver desperate for someone to love. Tori knows she should resist…but it’s so tempting to give in.

And a desperate plan…

Callum and Rory have denied their desire for Tori, hoping she’ll heal their older brother, who was so brutalized by his late wife’s betrayal. But when Oliver cruelly turns Tori away in the harsh light of day, she tenders her resignation. Rory and Callum realize that to save their brother, they must embrace the unconventional sort of family they’ve always wanted—with Tori at its center. And it all starts with seducing her…

That could lead to happily ever after—or murder.

Isolated with the brothers at an elegant English country manor, they begin awakening Tori to the most sensual of pleasure. But consumed with regret, Oliver won’t be denied the chance to embrace the only woman worth the risk of loving again. What begins as a rivalry veers toward the future they’ve only dared to dream of. But a stranger is watching and waiting for a chance at revenge. Can the brothers come together to embrace the woman they love and defeat a killer?

This series is pure guilty indulgence for me. Whenever I'm looking for a light read that's heavy on the smut but still has enough story to keep me from skimming the sex scenes; these books are my go-to.

Now admittedly they all follow the same formula. Sweet naive virgin meets 3 men that want her for themselves. One will always fight the attraction, one will already be in love with her, and the 3rd will be the voice of reason. Formulaic? Absolutely. But yet seven books into the series and I'm still not bored of it and look forward to the next book.

If you've read Their Virgin Princess then you'll remember Oliver Thurston-Hughes as the poor unknowing sap that gets double crossed and almost killed by his conniving wife. While I wasn't sure about him during most of that book, I have to say that by the end I was fully rooting for him to get his HEA. Now it's Oliver's turn and his two younger brothers, Callum and Rory. Callum the infamous footballer who suffered a career ending injury and the play boy, Rory, then there's the jaded Oliver and all 3 of them are practically in love with their image consultant; Tori Glen.

Tori is the younger sister of Piper Glen from Their Virgin Concubine. While her sister may have found her HEA with her 3 gorgeous husbands, Tori knows that can't be her fate. First, the Thurston-Hughes brothers can barely get along enough to even consider sharing a woman, and second they're in England where relationships like that aren't exactly accepted as the status quo as they are in Bezakistan. So she does her job all while pretending to be engaged until Callum finds out the truth and the brothers come together in a united effort to seduce her, body and soul.

I enjoyed the first 60% of this book but I found the last 40% to be a little dragging. The ending and the "bad guy" was of course extremely predictable and served no other purpose then to simply be the final bang that brings everything together. A nice and smutty read that offered nothing new but an enjoyable book to spend a lazy Sunday evening with.

Although characters do build off of one another and get introduced earlier in the series before their own book, these are still all easily read as standalones.

The Good, The Bad and Everything In Between

If you’re interested in the Virgin series by Lexi Blake and Shayla Black, you may think

Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But I would tell you

description

Well, maybe not the aliens. *blinks* But anyway. Now, because I’m all about the giving :), I’ll save you some time - they all go a little something like this:

Virgin meets the three mens: the grumpy Gus, the nerdy/awkward/techie/goofy guy and the smooth talker/manwhore. Grumpy is close off emotionally, smooth talker also has his issues but covers by flirting.


Nerd/awkward/tech guy is the only one who accepts his feelings and pushes for the relationship.
Big Beats are (percentages are approximate, but pretty damn close)
25% The first Oh-my-gasm
50% De-virginization and/or first with multiple partners
90% welcome to the gang bang! We’ll have a fine old time... The only thing left to determine is who gets which orifice. It’s a party!

description

Ok, honestly - these are crackilicious fun for me. Some are more boring than others, but they follow their formula and I enjoy it for what it is. Can the men be a bit chauvinistic, the story a bit over the top and the fact that there's so many folks who know each other and live in devoted menages a bit crazy? Yes. Do I care? No. I’m ready for the next one. #sorrynotsorry

The Bottom Line
It’s menage times with a virgin. As long as you don’t think too long and hard (*blinks* nah, too easy), you can just have fun with it. I did.

Shayla Black and Lexi Blake are back with another lip-bitingly sensual and suspenseful romance. This dynamic duo is always kicking ass and taking names, making me swoon over and over again. With a sassy heroine that will make you stand up and cheer, to the three gorgeous, British men that will steal your heart, THEIR VIRGIN MISTRESS was a perfect addition to one of my all time favorite series. Each book in the series is just as good as the last, if not, even better. Ms. Black and Ms. Blake brings us back into a world of seduction, domination, and surrender, leaving their readers in a blissful, erotic state of mind.

Tori Glen is the younger sister of Piper, now Piper al Mussad from Their Virgin Concubine. Tori is just as strong-willed and independent as her sister. She made for a fabulous heroine in this book and as the woman who would eventually bring the Thurston-Hughes brothers to their gorgeous, successful knees. Coming from a small town in Texas, she has worked her way at becoming a successful woman. She craves the three brothers like nothing else, but she remains professional, even though her dirty thoughts about the brothers are far from it. As part of the al Mussad family, she knows what it's like to be around overprotective alpha males, but she had no idea what the Thurston-Hughes brothers had in store for her.

Callum, Rory, and Oliver, the three brothers who could have anything or anyone they wanted. Gorgeous, successful, and protective of what is theirs, they will stop at nothing until they have their spitfire PR woman in their arms and forever in their bed. Two out of the three brothers are on board with the plan of keeping Tori forever, but Oliver is still dealing with the demons of his past. Tori wants to be the woman who brings light back into Oliver's life, but his trust was shattered along with his heart, and he doesn't know if anyone can make him whole again.

Desire, temptation, and surrender is the name of the game in THEIR VIRGIN MISTRESS. These brothers need a woman who will take care of them, and Tori wants to be that woman, but she doesn't want to be the woman who tears their family apart. Time will tell if these three brothers are able to share the love of their lives. Will Tori be the one to bring them together and make them whole, or will she be the temptation that will ultimately tear them apart?

There was so much going on in this story and I so enjoyed soaking it all in. My heart broke for Oliver, my mind thirsted for Rory, and my body tingled for Callum. They just might be my favorite trio of heroes from this series yet. I loved that the role of the Dom was played by someone I didn't expect. These ladies always keep me on my toes with the sensual, passionate, and intense scenes, as well as the gripping suspenseful scenes. A highly erotic page-turner, THEIR VIRGIN MISTRESS just might be my favorite of the series to date. With the way they are moving, these stories just keep getting better, and the authors consistently blow my expectations out of the water. I will never get enough of this series.

Being a big fan if the Virgin series I was utterly disappointed with this book. Usually there is a strong feisty heroine who has a crush or falls in love with three strong gorgeous men and in order to get their HEA they fight some greedy, criminal or jealous adversary. Along the way there is a lot of suspense, romance and sex.
Not so much in this book. There is no real suspense, no romance, a lot of sex and confronting the heroine with BDSM without any explanation or easy introduction. I would characterise Tori as a whiny, insecure woman who has relied all her life on her sister Piper, now queen of Bezakistan. Thanks to her she got through highschool and college after their parent’s deaths. Now Tori is working in London as an image consultant, but does a poor job. She is not capable to hire a PI to clear Callum of the accusations made by his one-year-ago one-night-stand.
Then the other scenes not sitting well with me add up:
- Oliver pursues Tori, rescues her, takes her V-card and immedeately afterwards accuses her to be a gold-digger. Why woud he think so?
- Would a woman who just escaped a rape have minutes later intercourse for her first time?
- Dress too long, neckline too low, and heels too high at a ball in B. leads to a dress malfunction. I doubt Piper would provide her sister with such a dress, nor would the scheicks approve such robe.
- first sex scenes with all four:
“I think it’s safe to say we’ll push some boundaries,” Callum said. “Starting now.”
Really? The first time together and they're going to push boundaries? There were no boundaries even established. Before starting BDSM relationship there should be a lot of talking.
- “Don’t move. Give it a minute before you spit out that safe word.”
The meaning of a safe word is using it if you feel things get out of hand, so why wait?
- back in England, assassination and afterwards no security detail inside the county estate? Usually you take your (unwanted) visitors to the door and make sure they leave your property or have staff doing so.
- duping security and solving a life threatening situation by themselves? NO, NO, NO!!!

There was too much stupidity in the end and too much inner dialogue in the beginning: in Tori’s mind about not wanting love because of the possibility of loss and in Oliver’s mind about all woman might betray him like his ex.
This book did not do it for me.

Ok read. I''ve read the whole series and hoped there was sth new in this book, but the storyline were similar to the previous ones: H or h was afraid to commit so only promised sex, but H's brothers were determined to make him to commit to h. In this book, both Oliver and Tori were too stubborn to make commitment. I understood Oliver's fear of love due to his ex-wife, but once he overcame his past, it was Tori's turn to distant herself from three brothers, this part annoyed me a lot. And Tori's first time … I preferred to read h's first time was with all three heroes when read menage stories.

Hope next book will have sth new.

I've read other series by the author but this is my first in the Masters of Menege series and it was just as I expected, another series I now have need to devour from the beginning.

Tori is the girl in charge of making sure the Thurston-Hughes brothers don't make a spectacle of themselves in the public eye for the sake of their company.
Oliver is the oldest, he holds most of the control over their company, is the most responsible, the protector, but also the most jaded.
Callum is used to hoards of women ready to jump in his bed, but one mistake has caused his family quite a bit of grief in the public eye, and more behind the scenes.
Rory is the youngest, possibly the most reasonable of the three.
He's the first to realize what he wants, what he needs and how he should go about getting it.

Tori has always wanted Oliver but realizes she has feelings for all three brothers, but she's afraid she would tear them apart. In order to protect them she pretends to be engaged and ignores their attention.
Until she can't.
Callum knows the truth and confronts her, from there her world is flipped upside down, from her first encounter with Callum to a horrible encounter with Oliver to basically being forced into a 30 day trial marriage with the three brothers, Tori is literally thrown into a life she never expected.

Tori was a likeable enough heroine, she was a bit stubborn, hard headed which I loved.
Oliver regardless of their first encounter was my favorite of the brothers, he was kind of the bird with a broken wing. He needed Tori and his brothers help to make him realize some serious issues in his life weren't all his fault.
Callum was the redeemable manwhore, sexy and sure of himself. He grew on me as the story continued.
Rory. The baby of the bunch but the smartest, most caring and sensible of the three. If not for him the whole thing could have blown up in everyones face.

Sexy and just what you would expect from Shayla Black and Lexi Blake.

So Boring.

You wouldn't think hot ménage sex would be boring, would you? But in this seventh installment of the "Virgin" series they've managed to make it so.

As already explained, the premise for almost every book in this series is a virgin meets and falls in love with three men: the Angry/Broken one, the Player, and the softhearted Geek. The Geek is usually the only one who readily campaigns for the relationship and shores up his brothers in order to claim their woman!

There's usually some sort of ridiculous suspense and, let's not forget, a lot of sex. Basically the series is the same book but with the character names, descriptions and locations changed. It's like Danielle Steel for the ménage set. You turn off your brain and you enjoy. Voila.

Except this time - I was bored. Practically out of my mind BORED.

description

It seems like the next story in the series might feature the five Bezakistan cousins - I don't even know how that could possibly work when the one woman is the only one being fucked - and none of the men are enjoying each other. Seriously...think of the hand/eye coordination you'd need.

Shayla Black and Lexi Blake’s Masters of Ménage series provides readers with a plethora of hot, domineering males and the feisty women they willingly share because their goal is to provide their woman with an overwhelming amount of love, sex, and passion – all of which will leave her wanting nothing but them for the rest of her life. Their Virgin Mistress is book 7 in the series, and it centers around three brothers who, at first, don’t seem to be on the same page when it comes to the one woman they all desire – their publicist, Tori Glen. Like the previous texts in the series, Their Virgin Mistress offers readers a world full of seduction, intrigue, and drama, but the heart of the story is the quest of three men to prove to the woman that they love that they’re worth the risk regardless of doubts, fears, and public perception.

What woman could resist three brothers – all of whom bring such varying personalities to the relationship? Oliver, Rory, and Callum Thurston-Hughes are all alpha males who know their way around the female body and the words to use to make it malleable. Because Black and Blake vary the perspectives as their story is told, readers understand who these men are at their core and what they’re willing to give up and the effort they’re willing to put in to claim the woman who owns all three of them.

Oliver is the protector, but he’s tortured by his past and what he allowed a woman to do to him; Rory is the responsible one who sees his oldest brother struggling and wants to help him heal, and Callum is the dominant one who has been a manwhore for far too long and finds his ways changing for the right woman – Tori. Each of them separately is not enough to handle Tori’s tenacity, but together, they have the assets needed to dominant her inside the bedroom and “handle” her out of it.

But the Thurston-Hughes’ brothers have their work cut out for them with Tori and they seem to know going in that in order to tear down Tori’s walls, they’re going to need to “brand her with pleasure and chain her with affection.”

Loss is a concept Tori knows a lot about, and she’s erected walls to stay safe from feeling that domineering emotion. She prevents herself from truly loving anyone because if she gets too close…feels too much, she’ll never recover once they leave. Despite her best intentions to keep a safe distance from Oliver, Rory, and Callum, each of them owns her heart and not even a fake fiancé can prevent her desiring what she knows she can never have, which is all three of them. Tori is the ideal woman for each one of them, though…she’s beautiful, stubborn, intelligent, and knows how to take charge, and they’ll do anything to show her exactly how good they can all be together.

Their Virgin Mistress, for a lot of the text, is a tenuous journey for Tori and the Thurston-Hughes’ brothers because there are complicated internal/external circumstances forcing them to keep one another at a distance. Tori’s sister wants her to choose love over fear, but it’s not an easy choice to make given how much in her own head Tori is. But the brothers didn’t achieve their success in business without a lot of hard work, so they’re ready to do whatever they must to claim their bride – even if it means fighting dirty, which is exactly where their journey turns sensual, sexy, and downright climatic!

Review for Their Virgin Mistress by Shayla Black & Lexi Blake

The Virgin Mistress is part of the Masters of Menagé series by Shayla Black and Lexi Blake. Warning: This book has three sexy men worshiping one woman in and out of bed.

I’ve been a huge fan of this series from the start and this book is no exception. I love how even though these books are obviously erotic in nature they still have a strong storyline. The character development is spot on and of course the smutty parts are panty melting. I’m going to glaze right over the story itself because there are many parts that I feel should be experienced without outside influence. I will say that it’s a roller coaster of emotions and crazy plot twists that make this book a must read!

Callum, Oliver, and Rory are British, wealthy, and devastatingly sexy brothers. It takes real talent to write a book that has multiple male voices and not have them slip into sounding similar, but Black and Blake never had an issue with that in this book. Each of the brothers has a unique voice that are easily discernible.

I’m loathe to choose a favorite of the three, but I would have to say it is Callum. He is the epitome of what I look for in book boyfriends… funny, sweet, and alpha with a dash of bad boy. I love how he takes charge even though you wouldn’t expect him to be the one to do so.

I adore Tori, she is everything a slightly damaged heroine should be. She’s not overly whiny and doesn’t play the poor pitiful me card. She does what she feels is necessary to protect herself and the brothers, even if it isn’t what she wants. There are moments throughout the book that I wanted to give her a firm shake, but overall she was very relatable and a well-developed character.

It goes without saying that the chemistry between characters is off the charts. Black and Blake never disappoint in the erotica side of their stories. They get that you need to seduce the reader and build up the desire to see the characters lose themselves in each other. It is especially important when you are trying to create a believable menagé relationship verses just a sexual encounter. Each erotic scene flows perfectly into the storyline so that you never feel like there is smut just for smuts sake. Erotica is so much more than adding multiple sex scenes, the storyline has to be solid, and this book is a perfect example of how much depth there can be.

Their Virgin Mistress is definitely one of my favorite in the Masters of Menagé series, five sexy stars!

Shadow's review posted on Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews

In a bit of a change from tradition, the heroine of this story is not a strong woman who can take on the world. Instead, she’s a bit broken, fearing to give her heart to anyone, for fear they might be taken from her.

That fear is just one of the hurdles facing the Thurston-Hughes brothers, who each want Tori for their own. They must decide whether they can share her; they must overcome their own individual problems; and they have to keep her safe from a killer who is stalking her. Each of the men has his own quirks: Oliver’s ex-wife was unfaithful, aborted their children and ended by trying to kill him and he hasn’t recovered yet. Callum, the football (soccer) player is a playboy being stalked by an ex-lover who claims to be pregnant with his child. Rory is the glue that holds the family together-while he plays the field with every model and actress in town.

As the PR person for the brothers, Tori knows all their foibles; and loves them anyway. But she is far too scared to act on that fear and uses a fake engagement to keep the brothers at bay…until Callum decides he’s waited long enough and makes his move on her. This triggers a response in Oliver and leads to a painful episode between Tori and Oliver. What will it take for this unlikely foursome to form a real relationship?

I liked Tori; in spite of her fears, she was a kind person and when she did realize what she was doing, she took control beautifully. The three men are the kind anyone would want-once Oliver moves past his issues. Until then, he needs to be slapped upside the head-although Tori uses an umbrella to great effect. Callum is a Dom, and all about control in the bedroom, and Rory is learning from Callum.

As with the other Masters of Menage series, this book has it all-hot sex, yummy men, a complex, intriguing plot and a story line that draws in the reader and keeps them turning the pages. As always, Lexi Blake’s wacky humor adds to the story, while Shayla Black draws a picture of the men that leaves the reader wishing her own man was nearby. Books just don’t get any better than this.

First let me say reviewing this book was a HUGE honor!! I have followed both these ladies for years and I devour everything they write!!

Now for the good stuff!!!...

I LOVED this book! I love that Oliver (You remember him from book 3 right?) got his own book and that his brothers Callum and Rory are in it too.

Oliver was left a shell of a man after Yasmin's major betrayals.
Callum is a force to be reckoned with, on and off the field.
Rory's quiet confidence is something to admire.

Tori's love is something to behold.

One night could have ruined everything... But Tori is one of the strongest heroine's I've read in a while. Her strength to let things go and accept her future is amazing! She doesn't ask for anything but deserves everything!

These men... oh what to say about them... Their camaraderie with each other is astonishing! Even pissed off with each other their power to joke and still be close blew me away. I could have kicked Oliver for his stubbornness, but his surrender to his feelings for Tori was amazing!

A few things I loved about this book...
These men were new to a menage. I never crossed their minds until Taleb said something to Callum.
I loved how Rory was wanting to learn about the lifestyle so he could be the Dom Tori needed.
Callum taking control in the bedroom and directing everything was beautiful.
Tori surrendering to them even with her insecurities was just amazing!

The one and only thing I didn't like was Olivers stubbornness! BUT that has become a signature of this series so it was expected, and brought the angst I love in a book!

Overall I loved how this book flowed, how complex the characters where. Seeing Some old characters again was awesome, I loved that.

I give this book 10 amazing stars from NADBB!!!

As I sit down to write this review, even days after finishing Their Virgin Mistress, I am torn about what I feel about the book. Why am I torn you may ask? Well it is because I have loved this series since the first book and while I will admit I am a book or two behind this normally is a series that I just automatically know will be super sexy and one that I know I will enjoy. But this time I loved the suspense, I loved the sex scenes, I loved Oliver, Rory , and Callum, and I loved seeing characters from previous books pop up and play vital parts to the storyline. What I didn’t like was Tory. I am used to this series having strong female characters, ones that when they do submit to their Masters it means something more I guess because they aren’t looked at as weak, as Tory for me was extremely weak and massively immature throughout the entire book. I also felt that it was similar to the first book and not as original as I had hoped.

Now I will warn you to have a change of panties close by when you read this one because it has some panty wetting scenes that fans of this series have come to not just expect but love as well. Shayla Black and Lexi Blake are two of my must read authors because they know how to write kick ass stories with some extremely hot sex scenes and my opinion of them hasn’t changed. Will I continue on and not just read the books I missed but future ones as well? You are damn right I will because even though this particular one wasn’t my favorite I know these two authors will pull me back into the world they are creating and having me wish I was a part of it.

Their Virgin Secretary (the previous book in the series) will always be my fav of the series, I'll even go as far to say that it's one of my all time favorite books.

This one though, didn't really reach me.

Maybe it's because I didn't really feel anything about, or, for the characters.

The heroine was boring and weak. She cried every minute and was so conflicted for no credible reason, that I got so bored of her fast.

The men were weird and acted strangely all around. And worst of all, I felt the authors focused on only two of the men because I didn't notice that Rory was even in this book. Lol

I didn't hate it. But I didn't like either.

I felt indifferent and that's one of the worse things to feel about a book.

I hope you ladies take it up a notch in the next one.

I'm guessing it'll be Claire's turn to be divirginized...

Anyhow...I do hope Anabelle, Tate, Eric and Kellan make an appearance in the next one. As they will always be my favorite menage relationship in the series.

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads

This is the 7th in the series, and yet Ms Black & Ms Blake continue to find plenty of men who want to share ... well I was not sure that was entirely the case with this trio of brothers for a while!

The build up is by turns tense, humourous and sensual. To fully understand each character, plenty of insightful background is woven into the tale. Piper is the perfect foil for Tori, as is Claire - one of those three sides to a mirror situations - and they both teach her some invaluable lessons. Heartwarming, frustrating and ultimately delightful - another hit! Sometime soon I will carve out the time to read them all back to back; I am convinced it would be a very rich experience.

I didn't know what I read. I saw the cover saw the title but really I didn't know. The beginning wasn't ménage at all because I was following a publicist helping 3 brothers from a lawyer, big boss to a playboy.
After discovering who they were, they were not at all like expected.
The book wasn't as I expected. It was better in the sexual way.
But with further reading, I skipped many part in the menage and just pick up the plot.

This series gets better an better each time. I love this series and always feel that Ms Black & Ms Blake create a story where not only is it believable for these couples to live the way they want but to be free to love with open arms.

This time round we meet Tori, the sister of Piper the lovely heroine form THEIR VIRGIN CONCUBINE, and she's one independent, hard working Texas girl. I may have just meet her match in our hero's of the the story.

Fans of the series will remember Oliver and with his brothers Rory and Callum they may just prove to be to much for this Texas girl to handle.

I personally fell in love with Tori and she is my favorite heroine so far not only did she struggle with the menage aspect but her own feelings (I'm not going to spoil the book) but to say it taped something I had been feeling myself would be an understatement. Congratulations ladies you managed to not only write a beautiful story but to infuse it with so much realism that readers are left feeling like your books could be true stories not just a work of fiction.

TBH I have no idea when I finished this book, exactly, which is too bad.

So ... I liked parts of it and I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT LIKE others.
I know, I know, this is "on me" b/c I'm so meh on BDSM - especially in this series - by which I mean... they just throw it at you. Like take "any regular contemporary romance heroine" - or any woman, and all of a sudden it's "YOU ARE OUR SLAVE WE ARE YOUR MASTERS" UM, excuse me what?
And OF COURSE every single one of these damn women is SURPRISE! A closet submissive! And also? SURPRISE - every single guy is a dormant dom! In fact two of the brothers didn't even know they were doms!
(Can you just *feel* me eye rolling here?)

I liked the sister - I liked the very different personalities of the brothers.
Was a bit meh because of the way super OTT "villain" here...
and the contradictions ...

But you know, there's still something about it because I can't quit this series - even though I did take to just skimming past the sex scenes.

Claire's "kick butt" moment was nice - and I'll be I think interested in reading her story.

Here though... D+

DNF-ed at 51%. The 1% after 50% was the tipping point for me.

I don't know if I can objectively give a review about this but I read a lot of romance and this one, or let me say the series is more BDSM/Menage/Smut focused than other romances and I just am not into the BDSM element really so I didn't enjoy it as much as someone who is into it would!

that being said I am not rating it, it just didn't do it for me, i liked some elements to the characters but i don't get to see how it develops as the story goes because i haven't finished but as I read all the books of the series, there must be a redeeming effect to this one male character of the bunch, which is always the case in this particular series and that's the aspect I didn't enjoy as much, the redundancy.

No plot discussion because no plot.

This book is a lesson in obsession and delusion. It is sad that we have become a society that can't let go of things that we can't have especially a person. There are so many lives ruined by this problem. That is partially what this story is about. A woman desperate for love and a big payday. It goes bad in the end leaving so many wounded by the experience. I do love that these men never gave up. It was also great to see that Oliver finally finds closure with the incident with Yamine. It also shows how we can get caught up in the things that happen to family.

I loved this story so much. I loved that Oliver fianlly finds his happily ever after. I love that the other two men find that sharing can be so wonderful. It was great getting an update on Piper and Alea and their husbands. I do wish that there was a book for Clair, the sister of the three brothers.

I really enjoyed the men in this ménage. Oliver, Rory, Callum, they had interesting back stories, believable actions and reactions, for millionaires, and handled their problems and emotions appropriately for grown up people. Tori, her I did not enjoy. For a media relations expert, her reactions made no sense. For a functioning adult, her emotions were immature and unwarranted. I didn’t enjoy her at all, and that soured the whole thing for me about ½ way through. I listened on though, hoping it might get better, and I really did like the fellas. Alas, Tori still was annoying to me and I skimmed and skipped the last 3 chapters. From what I did hear, it was all rather rote at that point anyways. Great execution of the story, wonderful narration, just one heroine who I felt was TSTL

Tori/Mindy should really just ditched Oliver. The man had been drooling for Alea for years but instead of actively pursuing her - dated and married her cousin Yasmin, despite the negative advice of his siblings. He just lust after her and then continue to drool at Alea despite getting married. Got angry that the obvious-bitch betrayed him when he himself did not bother to verify if said woman is pregnant and then proceeded to hate any woman to come his way when he was the one who chose Alea's cousin. I don't like Oliver after Alea's story and this last installment put a nail in said coffin. HE IS a douchebag and no one can convince me otherwise. Callum and Rory is okay for me but Oliver seems to be into cheating. I guest I just expected more after book 6.

Tori is the sister of a queen and a professional at squashing bad press. She works for the Thurston-Hughes brothers, who have their fair share of bad press of late.
It doesn't help that she is crazy about all three of them.

One gala, one stalker ex of one brother and she discovers that she is not alone in her desire. Calum introduces her to a fire she never felt before. But, Oliver interrupts them and she is filled with shame. But Oliver is not done with her yet. And neither are his brothers. But now someone else is interested in Tori and they don't want to play.

The emotional ups and downs of this story will make you laugh, cry and swoon. The way the men love her is hot and heart melting. The way the women in the family kick Tori in gear is superb!

You will love all of the characters in this book, except one.
