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!
