Beyond Monogamy #1
Theirs to Treasure
Love knows no bounds…
Paris Nelson’s family has been at the forefront of legalizing polyandry and polygamy so they would no longer have to hide. Now that new laws are in place, the family’s company—Beyond Monogamy—can finally come out of the shadows and help anyone who wants to live this lifestyle without worrying that the long arm of the law will reach for them.
Aiden Dalton, Kain Fitzgerald, and Cody Knight expected a challenge when it came to convincing the Nelson family they were serious enough to settle down with one wife. Each of them carries baggage from the past that makes it harder to show how serious they are. When they realize the woman for them is also their matchmaker, they must convince her to accept them. But are they ready for the commitment?
Despite her stubbornness, the three men aren’t about to give up on their woman. No matter the battles they have to face, Aiden, Kain, and Cody have sworn to prove it to her—one way or another.

This was a good, well written story, but its tell, rather than show quality didn't resonate with me. I had a hard time feeling any connection to the characters.
The book is supposed to be 100 yrs in the future, but I never figured out why the author made a point of setting a futuristic date yet never made the story futuristic (except as a setting for the idea it will take people 100 years from the time of same-sex marriage to accept the idea of polygamy? The whole concept seemed off-- the need for guards had no validity to me.
So much of the book seemed unnecessary or outlandish. The book wasn't bad-- in fact I enjoyed parts of it. But some of the threads were started and readers are left hanging (I think the writer made assumptions and we were supposed to make them too?). I bought another book by this author at the same time, so I'll give it another try.

Interest's
This was a interesting but thought provoking story. She helped other couples never thinking she would find her husband's. Someday this could be possible

Fascinating
What an interesting new world. I love the strength of family, something we don't have much of. I'd love to hear more of their lives and adventures.

I was given this book By Marissa Dobson for my honest opinions and a review,
Love knows no bounds…
Paris Nelson’s family has been at the forefront of legalizing polyandry and polygamy so they and others would no longer have to hide. And Now that the new laws are in place, the family’s company Beyond Monogamy can finally come out of the shadows and help anyone who wants to live this lifestyle without worrying that the long arm of the law will reach for them.
Meet Paris she works very hard for her families company and truly loves her work, When a special assignment is given to her she has no other choice but to hop on a plane and meet her new clients,
Aiden Dalton, Kain Fitzgerald, and Cody Knight expected a challenge ahead of them when it came to convincing the Nelson family they were serious enough to settle down with one wife. Each of them carries some baggage from the past that makes it harder to show how serious they are.
When they all realize that the woman for them is also their matchmaker, they all must try convince her to accept them.
Despite Paris stubbornness, these three men aren't about to give up on their woman. No matter what battles they have to face they will face them together Head on, they have all sworn to prove it to her one way or another.
This is the First book i have ever read by Marissa Dobson and what a pleasure it was, I was very much curious on the whole issue of Polyandry after watching shows such as My Five Wives i was always curious about one woman having multiple Husbands/Partners, And this book did not fail it helped me realise how that sort of relationship works and why it works, after all who is anyone to judge who you love whether it be 1 man or 3 love comes in many different packages and ways,
I adore all three men and the qualities they bring,
Aiden the football star who has the charisma looks and the no how on the world, Kain the big shot handsome lawyer who is very serious and sees things no others do, then there is sweet Cody who is quieter rugged sweet and a lover all in one, each of these men have such qualities i found i really bonded with them all and i could see them for who they are,
The Nelson family are a close bonded unit they work hard and love even harder i adored Mrs Nelson i loved her wit her positiveness that shone through at even the most roughest times. She was my favourite character.
This book was well written even paced and easy to follow throughout it had love some trials and tribulations and even a bit of fighting, i simply adored this book and no i want to read more and more from this family and maybe even some of there set ups,
There was nothing at all in this book that i could say i did not like because i loved it all.
Overall a great and fabulous read
This book is for Adults only

I loved the concept of this story and I really enjoyed for the most part. There were things that I really liked and things that were just ok. I'm looking forward to more.

Heartwarming story of a family working through illness and prejudice. Loved the interaction of the main characters. The support of her men during her mum’s stay in hospital was lovely to see. Really loved this book.

Great book

June 22, 2017Was this supposed to be a romance? Because there was no romance. They literally meet, she goes home, they decide to "claim" each other (this is not paranormal), and then they start working on a criminal case... O.o
