Edged

Sweet and Twisted #2

by Courtney W. Dixon

An MMM Hurt/Comfort Erotica.

They were my kings, and they made me their princess.

Atlas

I’ve always wanted to be a famous artist. But it will never happen. So, I’ve settled and applied for a job as a PA for two VPs. Little did I realize I’d already met the VPs. We had one amazing evening together in a private room at a nightclub. It’s a night I’ll never forget. For the first time in my life, I felt attractive and desirable. And now they want me to not only be their PA, but their princess, too.

Hugh

I’m in trouble with my father, the owner of the company I work for. My sexual… proclivities have affected the business. Just when I planned to fix things, in walks Atlas for a job interview. What a small world we live in. After a night of sexual indulgence, I hadn’t been able to get him out of my mind. Now, he’s here, applying to be my PA. I shouldn’t hire him. I should send him right home. But how can I when he’s the princess I’ve always wanted?

Linden

I may be a VP at my uncle’s company, but really, I just do whatever Hugh wants. I’m a willing follower. We’re not only cousins; we’re also best friends. And while I’ve had a crush on him since I was a teen, it’s something I’ve never pursued for obvious reasons. The only way I can get close to him is during our playtime at sex clubs, and even then, I don’t get to touch him. But when Atlas walks in and is in Hugh’s sights, I don’t get jealous. I find I want Atlas as much as Hugh does.

About the author

Courtney W. Dixon loves to write steamy hurt/comfort romance, giving her characters challenges, struggles, and sometimes trauma... Fine, a LOT of trauma. Her team teases her about charging her for their therapy bills after reading one of her books.

She loves to add variety and multiple tropes in her stories along with different types of dynamics/relationships. And she writes her characters as having flaws, imperfections, and who don't always do the right thing. Humans are sometimes frustrating, never perfect, and make a lot of mistakes in their lives. Courtney enjoys pushing her characters, making their HEAs so much more worth it when they get there. Mental health is a big feature in her books.

She loves her coffee ice cream and popcorn a little too much. And her cat, Olly, is her co-writer, where he sleeps on an ottoman under her desk as her muse. Actually, he's rather useless, but he's adorable.

This was such a hot erotic taboo novel

Hugh and his cousin Linden have been sharing partners for years. One night they meet Atlas and are instantly enamored.

After thinking, they would never see him again after their one hot and steamy night, Atlas shows up as their new employee!

This was super hot, but also this was emotional at times. There definitely was some angst to this story that added a delicious element to this story.

This took a little bit for them to find their groove outside the bedroom, once they did, they were fantastic.

This was great, I loved them. So glad they all got their HEA

Review of advanced copy received from Author

This book had me hooked from the very first page. I'm utterly obsessed with these men.

Edged is filthy, emotional, and surprisingly tender in all the ways that matter.

Atlas absolutely stole my heart. His insecurity, softness, and need to be wanted felt so painfully real, and watching him navigate desire, power, and vulnerability was addictive to read.

Hugh and Linden? Unreal. The tension, the control, the longing simmering under every interaction - it’s intoxicating.

Courtney does an incredible job balancing explicit heat with genuine emotional depth.
This isn’t just erotica for shock value...there’s story, character growth, and real connection underneath all the spice.

The office dynamics, the power imbalance, the pining, the hurt/comfort…it all worked for me. Add in consent, communication, and characters who actually feel, and I was done for.

If you like erotic romance that makes you feel things and ruins your brain a little, this one’s for you.

Hot damn. The tension between these characters was absolute crème de la crème.

We have the taboo aspect between Hugh and Linden—two people who have loved each other for ages but can’t act on it because of their blood relation. That longing, that restraint, that ache between them? Immaculate. And then there’s our sweet boy Atlas, who at first is basically used as a bridge between Hugh and Linden—an excuse for them to be close, to touch, to feel something they’re not supposed to. But very quickly, Atlas becomes so much more than that. He turns into a fully independent part of the throuple, someone both Hugh and Linden genuinely fall in love with.

All three characters are special in their own way. Atlas is ridiculously cute and bratty at the same time—he knows exactly what buttons to push to get what he wants. Linden and Hugh, on the other hand, are stuck in the same boat when it comes to family expectations and pressure. That shared burden connects them deeply.

Together, the three of them complement each other insanely well. The dynamic just works, and the emotional and romantic tension never lets up.

Edged was everything I hoped it would be and a fantastic addition to the series. From the first page, I was hooked and ended up finishing it in one sitting.

The spice was definitely spicing, but as with all of Courtney's stories, even at high heat the story is never overshadowed by it.

I wasn't sure what to expect with the taboo trope involving two of the MCs being cousins. I'm never one to shy away from a taboo storyline, and I loved how
Courtney handled and developed this aspect of the book. It felt natural, and I was really happy with the direction she took these characters.

I didn't expect to cry while reading this, yet here we are. Atlas had me completely in my feelings, and I couldn't help but ache for him.

I'm really enjoying Courtney's MMM stories and truly hope we get more of them in the future.

If you love MMM romance, a boss/ employee dynamic, an age gap, a touch of taboo, high heat, a dash of angst and pining, and a bit of feminisation, then this might be for you, and I definitely recommend it.

I loved the little snippets of Atlas in Milked and couldn't wait for his book.

Hugh ended up being the shining star for me in the book. I feel like he was well developed. I loved his POVs and being in his mindset.

Linden was a very sweet character to me. His pining for Hugh about took me out.

I did have trouble getting a grasp on Atlas. I feel like it was a little surface level for me. There were times I really enjoyed reading his POVs and other times I was just waiting for Hugh or Linden's POVs.

Overall I loved how each of them softened each others edges. They all worked well together and you could feel the love they shared.

This was fun! I enjoyed seeing Atlas, Hugh and Linden come together. They each brought something different to the group even with Hugh and Linden both being more dominant. Atlas was definitely the glue in their dynamic and exactly what Hugh and Linden needed to finally gain clarity on what they really wanted with each other. Although there were some missteps when it came to properly communicating their feelings regarding one another I did appreciate the communication between all three men when it came to them being intimate. Boundaries were set and respected and there were constant check ins to make sure everyone was still comfortable with the direction of the activities. This was a fun read!

[Miruru Shouting · Rating 5 out of 5]

MMM poly, cousins, boss x assistant, feminization, high steam, smut with some plot, hurt/comfort, age gap, bdsm-lite.

If you like high steam kinky taboo smut, pick this up! Can be read as standalone but highly recommend you go back to read book 1 if this is the first book you're diving into.

Loved reading about how Atlas, Hugh, and Linden get together, and all the places they have sex. The dirty talk was so hot, and I love the forbidden/taboo aspects. This has all the kinks and tropes I love, and even though it's mostly smut, there are some emotional hurt/comfort moments. Loved seeing the cameos from Book 1 and I need more in this series!

I need Casey's book, and Waylon's book PLEEEEEEEASE! Love this series so much!

[Leilani Noack · Rating 4 out of 5]

Definitely check your triggers and it’s definitely taboo. I’m glad Atlas found two men to love him and cherish him especially since the way he saw himself. The fact he tried to sacrifice himself out of the relationship hurt a little bit but I’m glad they fought for him. You’ll definitely get the taboo part towards the end but I’m happy for all 3 of them.

[Joanne Hatton · Rating 5 out of 5]

the yearning lindon has for Hugh is undeniable then throw atlas into the mix and damn.
the story is full of yearning, desire, angst you can't help but love all 3 men.
Atlas has got to be the cutest ever with the biggest heart and hes ready to give it all to his 2 men.
hugh is the broody strong alpha male
lindon is the chilled dude
atlas is the cutest but their relationship works so well.

I absolutely adored Atlas. He was sassy and sweet, and he knew exactly what he wanted. From the meet-up that was extremely hot to working for them was so fun. I did feel for Linden and Hugh since they had such high expectations put on them, and it obviously affected their ability to pursue their dreams and happiness. I loved seeing that unfold. It was beautiful.

[Sara Husser · Rating 5 out of 5]

💄❤️You're our glue, Atlas. As much as I love him, we wouldn't be complete without you❤️💄

"He wasn't supermodel beautiful, but he had a unique face, which made him highly appealing. He was gorgeous in his own unconventional way."

"For the first time in my life, I'd reached and grabbed what I wanted and not what my father wanted, d*** the consequences."

"Atlas's dark eyes were large and looked up at my cousin so earnestly, wanting to believe us. Was he that insecure about his appearance? Hugh and I found him highly attractive."

"Part of me wanted to be jealous, to have him look at me like that, but I couldn't. I wanted Hugh to find happiness where he could find it. And I adored Atlas just as much."

"I loved being in the middle of their attention. Yes, it was all for show, but I really wanted to be the center of their world."

"You're our glue, Atlas. As much as I love him, we wouldn't be complete without you."

"Linden and Atlas were the two most important people in my life and I planned to keep it that way."

"He came into our lives not to just be a third, but to be our glue, holding us together and pushing our boundaries to solidify something I never thought possible."


I have been waiting for this book to release and boy was the wait worth it! This author is always an automatic buy for me. I love how Courtney writes emotional hurt/comfort with fantastic spice. She has the perfect blend of both in all her stories. This series is more spice based but still has the feels and struggles. I loved all the different kinks in this story as well 🥵😈. My favorite part of this story was the taboo aspect. There was a lot of pining, angst, and sweet moments as well. Each one of these characters had some sort of struggle going on and I felt that 😭. I loved how this also had povs for all three characters. The flow of the relationship was perfect and no one was left out. I loved how this author wrote about gynosexuality. This is the first time I've read a story with that and I was very intrigued.

This story follows Atlas, Linden, and Hugh. Atlas decides to go to a club to have some fun and pick up a guy. He struggles with his looks and is very insecure. He didn't think he would pick anyone up but ended up getting two hot older men. A week later, he ends up going to his interview for a PA position and the two men he ended up sleeping with are his new bosses 😈. Hugh and Linden are cousins who share everything. They both end up obsessed with Atlas and decide to hire him and and make him an offer he can refuse. To be theirs only. Linden starts to question if he's able to continue as he has always been in love with Hugh but couldn't act on anything. Will Linden end up leaving the relationship? Can all three of these men fully give into their feelings despite the consequences?

All three of these characters were so different yet perfect for each other. Atlas is insecure with his looks and doesn't think he's good enough. Hugh is very dominant and has certain kinks he loves. Linden is laid back and tries to please everyone. My heart hurt for Linden. All those years of unrequited love. He did everything just to make Hugh happy and didn't think of himself. You could tell Hugh had those feelings but didn't acknowledge them because of who they are. Atlas was the glue to hold them altogether. The spicy scenes were written so perfectly 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. The kinks were delicious and the dirty mouths on these men 🥵😏😉💦. I loved seeing the dynamics between these men and how they shifted. I loved finally seeing Linden open up and be vulnerable with Hugh. That made my heart happy 🥹. These two men love their princess and will do anything to make him happy and treasured. I felt so sad that Atlas felt so low of himself, especially towards the end 😥. They all deserved this HEA so much. The epilogues were everything and a perfect ending to their story 😍.

Atlas's family was precious. Especially his mother. Chloe was such a great sister and so supportive. I loved seeing the cameos from the men from Milked as well! I loved seeing the conversation of them with Atlas. I really hope Courtney continues this series. I would love to read more stories.

AUTHOR'S BLURB
They were my kings, and they made me their princess.

Atlas
I’ve always wanted to be a famous artist. But it will never happen. So, I’ve settled and applied for a job as a PA for two VPs. Little did I realize I’d already met the VPs. We had one amazing evening together in a private room at a nightclub. It’s a night I’ll never forget. For the first time in my life, I felt attractive and desirable. And now they want me to not only be their PA, but their princess, too.

Hugh
I’m in trouble with my father, the owner of the company I work for. My sexual… proclivities have affected the business. Just when I planned to fix things, in walks Atlas for a job interview. What a small world we live in. After a night of sexual indulgence, I hadn’t been able to get him out of my mind. Now, he’s here, applying to be my PA. I shouldn’t hire him. I should send him right home. But how can I when he’s the princess I’ve always wanted?

Linden
I may be a VP at my uncle’s company, but really, I just do whatever Hugh wants. I’m a willing follower. While I’ve had a crush on Hugh since we were teens, it’s something I’ve never pursued for obvious reasons. The only way I can get close to him is during our playtime at sex clubs, and even then, I don’t get to touch him. But when Atlas walks in and is in Hugh’s sights, I don’t get jealous. I find I want Atlas as much as Hugh does.

MY THOUGHTS
I LOVED this book! All three of these men had my heart from the get-go, so much so that I can't even begin to pick a favorite. I feel for Atlas and his self-esteem issues, and it is lovely to see him gain confidence through his relationship with the two older men. They refuse to let Atlas ignore how special he is.

Hugh is definitely the "looks like he could kill you, is giant cinnamon roll" type, and his journey is just as sweet as Atlas'. He has a lot to learn not only about how he feels about his cousin but also about how to stop living for others and live for himself.

And Linden...ahhh, Linden. OK, I may have been wrong earlier; I think I do have a favorite in this little poly, and it's this teddy bear right here. He is sunshine personified, and I adore him.

Is there some miscommunication? Yes, but it stems from the characters' insecurities, not from being incapable of communicating. They each have their own realizations to come to, that as the reader, we're privy to the whole time, and I found myself urging them on, like "Hurry up! Figure it out, you silly man!" But overall, the miscommunication is resolved quickly without making the MCs suffer unnecessarily.

And yes, it's hot. Courtney delivers on her "erotica with a plot" promise.

BOTTOM LINE
If I were you, yes, absolutely read this one. The characters are lovable, and both the forbidden and taboo aspects of their relationship are handled beautifully without feeling even the slightest bit wrong.

CONTENT WARNINGS
See triggers at beginning of the book. They include a taboo relationship between cousins and between bosses/PA, exhibitionism, voyeurism, and explicit language and sexual content.

Phew, if you like your taboo (cousins), spicy MMM romances, this is one you must read! If you need even more of an excuse, it’s a bosses/PA romance too.
 
This is an erotica so there’s lots of spice, but the plot brings plenty of emotion to the story as well. There’s such positivity between these men and I loved the supportive nature between them, though that’s not to say they aren’t dealing with their own insecurities. As a threesome, they fit together and complement each other perfectly.
 
I immediately empathised for Atlas with how real and relatable his self-esteem and confidence issues were. His internal struggles really hit a nerve with me, and I wanted someone to truly see him so desperately. Although he is initially meant to be a temporary thing for King and Knight, Atlas quickly becomes an integral part of them.
 
Without a doubt, Linden became my favourite. I loved how down to earth he is and that he enjoys making things with his hands – it just made him even hotter in my mind! Lind’s been hiding his real feelings for his cousin for so long but can no longer keep a lid on them as they get closer than ever in their encounters with Atlas. I was waiting with bated breath for when he would finally confess. He did break my heart a little when he was ready to walk away for the sake of Atlas and Hugh’s happiness together…
 
I did love how feminisation was explored in this book. I really appreciated that Atlas enjoyed wearing pretty things for his men, indulging their fantasies, but didn’t feel pressured to become overly feminine if he didn’t want to, especially in his everyday life. While he makes some changes to his daily wear, he evolves the pretty touches he’s worn previously on his own terms. I adored how his bosses gave him the confidence he needed to fully embrace that side of him.
 
Hugh and Linden were massive green lights for me from the start: getting Atlas’s boundaries and consent, and checking in with him to make sure he’s okay, plus the aftercare. I relished how much praise they give him, with or without the degradation, and how much they clearly adore doting on him. Atlas certainly doesn’t have a problem embracing his role as the princess, knowing that even if he plays up, he’ll still be spoilt rotten afterwards.
 
This is the second in the series, with the first, Milked, being on my tbr (MMM, stepfather-stepson). I’ll be keeping my eye out for Waylon’s story in the future too.

 ------

Some of my favourite quotes
“What a good princess you are. And look at you holding out. You did exactly as you were told. You’re perfect.”

“We want you to explore our world with us. We think you’d be perfect. I know you’d be perfect. In return, we will reward you greatly, and there will be just you and only you, no one else.”

“And we’re going to love worshiping you. You’re our princess, and you’ll receive the royal treatment.”

“Don’t let me fall.” “Never,”

“You don’t need to apologize for needing to be held,”

“You have a special family, sweet stuff. No wonder you’re special, too.”

“It’s who you are. I didn’t think you had to define yourself because you seemed comfortable in your sexuality.”

“This doesn’t belong on you. I love you just the way you are.”

Oh, how I have been waiting for this book... I couldn't get my hands on it fast enough and when it dropped on my Kindle I started it ASAP. I couldn't not do just that, you know? Again, I waited months for this book.

Oh, and it did not disappoint. 🥰

Whoever knows me knows that Courtney is one of my fav authors ever. Her books always bring me comfort and take me to a happy place like no other. Some of them have sad topics, but even those do that for me, in a way. I think it's because in the end everything is worth it and everyone is happy.

Edged was a story that was hinted in Milked and I couldn't wait to read about Atlas, Hugh and Lin. I knew they will be perfect for each other and I was right. 

I think they fit each other's personalities so well, and the chemistry between them was fire. There was no way these 3 will not end up together. 

If there is one thing that I absolutely love about this series is the lack of unnecessary drama. These couples have tab00 elements in their relationships but we do not have to worry about some crazy thing happening that will take away from the enjoyment of the story. We don't tether on the edge or some sht like that. We just read about people loving each other and choosing each other.

Hugh, Linden and Atlas are no exception. Even if they need to take a step back and check in with their feelings, and the end of the day they do choose each other because there just isn't any other way.

Even if this series is erotica, I feel like there is a perfect balance between smut and emptions. In my opinion the smut scenes help build the connection, the intimacy between the characters. Sure, they are for fun in the beginning, but you can then just see all that evolve gradually and become so much more.

The reason why this is not a full 5✨️'s is maybe because compared to Milker where I had 0 objections and I felt like it was perfect start to finish, Edged had a little something that felt unresolved for me personally. This is strictly a personal opinion, not the way the book was written or anything. 

Atlas is a very insecure person in the beginning of the book and at the end I did not feel like he was truly 100% confident when it comes to the way he looks. Hugh and Linden always told him how beautiful they find him, how precious, it was not them, it was internal. I also didn't understand until the end of the book if Atlas embraced the femme style because he 100% loved it for himself or just for Hugh. It felt more like he did it predominantly for his love... not that he didn't enjoy it himself or anything, but I did not feel like it was because in any other circumstances he would've done just that. Again, this is probably just me, but it made me not be able to give the book a full 5✨️. 

At the end of the book I wanted more. I AM NOT READY TO PART WAYS WITH HUGH, LINDEN AND ATLAS, AND MOST DEFINITELY I AM NOT READY TO BE DONE WITH THIS SERIES.

I really, really, really hope we will get a book for Casey and Isaak, and one for Waylon and Luis. I REALLY NEED THESE DANG BOOKS. Fingers crossed.

I received this book as a free ARC and I am leaving this review voluntarily. I want to thank the author for the opportunity to share my thoughts.

Edged is a taboo, polyamorous (mmm) and kinky recipe for a spicy good time. It's the 2nd book in the Sweet & Twisted series, but can be read as a standalone.

💄💄💄

Edged is a book full of mild hurt/comfort entwined with high spice, cute panties, red lipstick, gynosexuality, lots of pining, office hijinks, and a cute hairless cat named Mrs. Peaches.

Atlas, a struggling artist with confidence issues, spends a spicy night with two men at the Club who end up being the VP's at the company he's interviewing at for a PA position.

Hugh and Linden, King and Knight, can't forget about their encounter with Atlas at Bottoms Up and when he shows up at their company the cousins decide to take him on as their PA with benefits.

And ohhh the benefits.

💄💄💄

Can we have a moment for the CHEMISTRY

phew... these three are mouth-watering hot 🥵 the power dynamics, the connection, the spice and the pining... OMG the pining.
(Side note: anyone else want to wrap Lindon in hugs like a million different times through this story?)

💄💄💄

While the story is spicy and erotic it has depth and addresses some pretty significant topics that many of us have to navigate.

The biggest issue is that Linden is harbouring a years long secret crush on Hugh and as their relationship with Atlas develops and they start falling, Linden realises that he can't handle being in love with his cousin and only have him at arms length.

Miscommunication threatens to ruin everything they've built and both Linden and Atlas have moments where they decide to leave. In the chaos that ensues Hugh realises that the whole thing won't work if it's not all of them.

The trio had some miscommunication/ lack of communication issues that are common early in building relationships. It happens, but its even more complex in poly dynamics, it can have a huge impact because the whole premise of a poly relationship is communication. It can be very easy to feel like a 'third-wheel' especially as the individual relationships grow and develop within the dynamic. Hence why both Atlas and Lindon thought they had to leave when things changed.


Insecurities and self-doubt can be so hard to navigate. These types of anxieties can stop us from
💄Feeling secure or confident
💄Accepting compliments
💄Communicating feelings, emotions and boundaries

All three of out mmc's are dealing with insecurities to some extent. Atlas's are the most obvious but underneath their strong outward personas both Hugh and Linden are struggling with family expectations, work pressures and feeling like you owe someone something. They feel somewhat trapped. These feeling and struggles stop them from really being who they want to be.

A King, A Knight, and Their Princess

I was excited to learn the story of these three men after meeting them in book one. What else is there awaiting a king, a knight, and their princess but a happily ever after?

It has been exciting to see Courtney W. Dixon jump into erotica and see her bring her depth of story telling and characters to these kinds of stories. There really is a lot of story and depth of characters found in this book mixed with plenty of steam, kinks, and zesty relationships that aren’t often accepted. I am glad she allowed the characters to create their own story as we saw their emotions lead to their real HEA.

I really liked that Atlas, the sweetest babygirl, became more than just the “hinge” in what started as a “V” polyamory relationship. He became more than a one night stand turned lover; he became their partner as he explored his relationship with Hugh and Linden. He became an equal part of this relationship and we saw him grow in confidence and acceptance of love as he blossomed into himself under his King and Knight’s love. I enjoyed watching him go from oh I want to do this for you to I want to do this for me to because it makes me feel good and like myself.

Linden, the knight, oh man! His journey had me feeling so many emotions. This man had so much love in his heart and I am so happy he got the HEA he truly wanted and deserved after putting his feelings in a box for so long. I think it was nice to see his relationship with Atlas grow into a real relationship that he had been craving. A babygirl to cuddle and hold and cherish! And to find even more of his happy ending with his King was the best. Watching him struggle with his emotions and learn to communicate was great!

Hugh, the king and most obvious man and secret cinnamon roll for his men. This man was totally the I won’t fall then proceeded to fall the hardest which was so fun to watch. He had a lot of growth along Linden and Atlas. Learning to see what had been hidden not just within his relationship but his life as he found himself in a box to please his family for so long. It was great to see him break away from that box on every level as he learned to live the life that would bring him real happiness not just approval.

Yes, I gushed about the emotions in the story, the character growth, and these men! But there is equally a great amount of spice and kink exploration that keeps this book. From understanding and accepting their own kinks, to trying new kinks together, to shifting dynamics as their relationship grew! It’s all in this book! I just enjoyed the healthy dose of story with the heaping dose of smut! It was a great balance and great book! I did receive a free ARC and this is my freely given opinion of the book. I am very excited to see the next book be brought to life and see the spice and characters grow even more!

Edged is the second book in Courtney W. Dixon’s Sweet & Twisted series. Note that you do not need to have read the first book, Milked, in order to enjoy Edged. Here’s what you can expect from Atlas, Hugh, and Linden:

As soon as I read the blurb for this book, I knew I wanted to give it a try. I thought this book was great. It was just so different and refreshing from what I’ve read from this author before (don’t get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy her work and she has a knack for writing steamy hurt/comfort). The taboo elements really made this book stand out. I wasn’t sure what to expect with two cousins being involved in a ‘V’ polyamorous relationship, but I think it kept the reader on their toes. This definitely didn’t feel as angsty as a lot of Courtney’s other work, but as this is marketed as erotica with plot that worked well.

I don’t think I’ve ever read feminization and gynosexuality represented like this before and I enjoyed it thoroughly. There is plenty of steam in this book, and as much as it was erotica, I felt it all helped move the plot along. I loved the different personalities of the cousins, and Atlas was just such a fun character (and his mom was a standout side character). Really enjoyed this one, great work Courtney!

I received an advanced review copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A deliciously taboo love story about three men…and a cute hairless, pearl wearing cat!

It has to be said that Courtney W. Dixon is among the best in her field when it comes to writing novels about polyamorous relationships.

In Edged we once again see polyamory presented in a way that successfully embraces the needs and desires of all three participants. Their mutual attraction, love and respect for each other is clear throughout the story. From the outset Atlas, Hugh and Linden’s dynamic is refreshingly healthy, with plenty of consent, checking in and enjoyment had by all.

Each man is vulnerable in his own way and in need of understanding and acceptance. Their dynamic allows for this and as a result ultimately enables all three men to embrace their true selves and each other.

That’s not to say that the development of their relationship is without issue or that their HEA is easily won. It’s a journey and there are definitely some minor bumps and obstacles for them to overcome along the way.

Edged is Book Two of the Sweet and Twisted series, with Book One, Milked also featuring a steamy MMM dynamic. Edged can be read as part of this series or as a standalone and having read both I would recommend each of them for different reasons. Whereas Milked is hurt/comfort, I would say that Edged comparably has very little hurt and a lot of comfort. With themes of cosy domesticity, pampering and spoiling featuring heavily.

One of my favourite elements of Edged is the beautifully sympathetic portrayal of gynosexuality. Courtney does a fantastic job of presenting gynosexuality in a very realistic way, taking time and care to clearly explain Hugh’s attraction to feminine and elegant qualities, regardless of gender. We’re also able to witness and enjoy Hugh’s feminization kink, of which Atlas and Linden are both willing and eager participants.

Edged is high-heat and taboo, in the sense that it features blood-related cousins and a bosses/PA situation. The novel is extremely hot and fast-paced and it does not hold back!

It is also a well crafted story about love, acceptance and being open to understanding relationships, sexuality and kinks…in all their forms.

"It was hard to feel special, and it’s something I’d always wanted to be for someone. Hugh and Linden gave that to me." - Atlas

"Atlas could very well bring us together to find some happiness." - Linden

"Linden and Atlas were the two most important people in my life, and I planned to keep it that way." - Hugh

Hugh & Linden have a very close connection; they go to clubs together to have fun with someone else, and that someone happens to be Atlas. They instantly start communicating with him, and that really shows how great and sweet they are. Atlas has low self-esteem, and both Hugh & Linden make sure to tell him many times how beautiful he is. Atlas eventually becomes their PA and princess. I love that they were very honest and clear from the start, because this is a taboo story AND Atlas is working for them. And of course Atlas gets princess treatment, like he deserves! They like their princess in pretty clothes and red lipstick, A LOT.

Linden has always been around Hugh, and I'm glad that he took the time to sit with his feelings. Hugh feels a lot of pressure from his dad and the company, and I'm also glad that he had the full support of Atlas & Linden to do what he really wants to. It's time that he can put himself and the people that he loves first. Atlas has a really sweet family, and I really love reading about those moments. They all helped each other a lot emotionally, while also having a lot of spicy fun. They all helped each other heal in unexpected ways, and I'm glad all of them are also working on themselves. Communicating isn't always easy, but they did their best and had Ryder (Atlas's roommate), Finn, and Knox (book: Milked), who were in kind of the same situation that could give them another perspective. This is such a beautiful, heartwarming, and spicy book. They really are meant to be together. And I also really like the side characters; they definitely seem interesting, and I want to know more about them!

I received an ARC copy of this book.

Honestly, I don’t even understand how I always end up gravitating toward MMM romances, because I’ve never—like, never—been into the whole polyamorous thing. And yet I keep finding that the more books like this I read, the more I enjoy them.

And although I haven’t read many MMM romances, I can confidently say that Edged is by far the best of them!

The three main characters are absolutely brilliant. When I started reading, I thought Atlas would be my favorite. Then Linden came along and completely stole everything—my logic, my heart, everything. Don’t get me wrong, Hugh was incredibly lovable too. At first he seemed a bit too rigid, but as their little trio developed and their emotions began to surface, he slowly opened up more and more. Like a flower blooming under care and affection.

There was a moment in the book when I thought, okay, damn, this isn’t going to end well—Linden, get it together. And immediately after that I was like: nooo, Atlas, what are you doing???

And meanwhile Hugh… oh my God, Hugh 🥹 Anyone who reads this book will understand why I’m saying this:

These three men deserve the world. Atlas with his lack of self-confidence, Linden with his years-long longing, and Hugh with his need to prove himself—to earn his father’s acknowledgment and pride.

All three of them have such beautiful hearts, such presence, such energy. And the fact that I couldn’t put this book down only proves how incredibly talented Courtney is as a writer.

Without going into spoilers (ugh, even though I really feel the urge to highlight one or two scenes—but I won’t 🤫), this is basically my opinion of the book: beautifully written characters, a great story, sooo many sexy scenes, and a HEA. Honestly—do you need anything more than that?

I received an ARC of this book from the author. This review reflects my honest opinion.

ARC Review

Hey! Did ya read the one with the King, his Knight, and their Princess?

Atlas never thought himself special. Enough to catch someone’s eye for a night, sure, if he was lucky. So imagine his surprise when he finds himself in the sights of not one, but TWO handsome strangers. The fake names he’s given make it clear this is only for tonight. The universe, though, has other plans for our sweet Atlas as he finds himself right back in the laps of his King and Knight…as their new PA.

Hugh is in control. Always. He has the weight of his family’s expectations on his shoulders, bearing it the best he can. He’s unprepared for the force that is Atlas Stavros. How could he reconcile the beautiful man he’d called Princess in the shadows with the man he now had working for him? The more he let Atlas in, the weaker his walls became. Atlas fit in a way he never thought possible.

Linden has loved Hugh since they were teenagers. He would take whatever he could get with him, always playing by his rules. He could never tell him but he couldn’t lose him either. Atlas had changed the game. Linden fell fast and fell hard. Could he truly be happy in this, only sharing his heart, or could he really have everything he wants?

As these three navigate this new dynamic, each learns what it means to love and be loved exactly how they need to be. They are writing their own happily-ever-after and I dare anyone to come between them 🖤

This story is as spicy as it is sweet (okay, so maybe it’s definitely more spice! Like all the spice) with characters that draw you in. Sweet baby Atlas, Hugh, and Linden deserve the world 🖤 I loved their story so much!

Edged is the second book in Courtney W. Dixon’s Sweet & Twisted Series. It’s a tab00 tale of “V” polyamory with lots of kinky twists and turns. It can be read as a standalone but why would you miss Ryder and his guys in Milked? 🖤

[Mandy (MP Book Reviews) · Rating 3 out of 5]

Atlas applies for a PA job hoping for stability, never expecting the two VPs interviewing him to be the same men he shared an unforgettable, intimate night with. They made him feel wanted for the first time — and now they want him back in their lives, not just as an employee but as their “princess.” Hugh is already in trouble at work thanks to his unconventional desires, and hiring Atlas is the last thing he should do. But after their night together, he’s never been able to forget him, and seeing Atlas again makes resisting impossible. Linden has always followed Hugh’s lead, quietly nursing a crush he’s never acted on. When Atlas reappears, instead of jealousy, he feels drawn to him too. Together, the three of them discover that what they want isn’t competition — it’s a shared connection they all felt from the start.

I loved that this story beautifully captured a triad that feels not only believable but deeply right. Atlas, Hugh, and Linden each bring something essential to the relationship — Atlas’s vulnerability, Hugh’s commanding confidence, and Linden’s quiet devotion — and together they form a bond that feels perfectly balanced and emotionally rich. What makes their connection especially compelling is how seamlessly their love blends emotional intimacy with shared physical intimacy. The sexual side of their relationship isn’t just spice; it’s a meaningful expression of trust, desire, and the way they fit together as a unit. Their shared encounters strengthen their bond and highlight just how naturally the three of them connect. A tender, passionate, and affirming romance about three men who are absolutely perfect for one another in every way that matters. This was an MMM story with mature content.

Edged - Courtney W. Dixon
5/5✨🌟

* SPOILERS *

I have loved a lot of Courtney’s books but I think this one might be my absolute favorite one of all. When you don’t think you need a book and then you read it - yep, that’s how I felt reading about the way these three, Hugh, Linden and Atlas came together.

I love taboo books. I don’t know what it is but when a forbidden relationship that shouldn’t even happen but you NEED in your life, those are the best books.

I loved how the book starts from how they meet at an adult club and then the Hugh and Linden find out the guy they were with happens to be a possible prospect for the PA position. It didn’t help that even before his interview, he was exceeding his job title.

This book is so emotional, a level of hurt/comfort that makes you need more and want all three of them to just lean on one another. I really loved the taboo aspect mixed in with feminization kink that I didn’t know I needed.

I loved the conversation that we got with Finn, Ryder and Knox to give Atlas a little information of being in a relationship with more than one person. Atlas was really the glue of the three of them being together along with Linden and High in how they really felt.

I was so proud of Hugh in a certain scene, which once you read, you will know. Also, I wanted to shake Atlas at a certain because what in the world? That wasn’t what they wanted!

Also, Atlas mom and her cooking. I was laughing from the moment that Linden and High met her and she overfed the guys. I felt so bad for Linden because his thought process in that chapter had me giggling.

I received a copy of this book and this is my honest review.

[True Loveislovereview · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this MMM story!

One night, in a private room, three men, it changed them forever.

Hugh and Linden are cousins, both VPs at their respective father/uncle’s company.
Both are doing a job they don’t really want. They have their reasons to work there.
They are always together, they work close, they club together, have threesomes together, yes their lives are completely entwined.

At the club, they meet Atlas, a sensual man with exquisite features.
They take Atlas to a private room and call him Princess.
Atlas is all in with this dynamic, he loves their focus on him, only him.
After a scorching night, it was hard to separate.

Hugh and Linden are interviewing candidates for their new PA position. Guess what, there’s Atlas.
They hired him without interviewing, Atlas will not only be their PA but also their plaything (Princess). Again, Atlas is all in. His lovely personality does bring them closer and closer.

Linden and Hugh’s appetite for Atlas and inspiration for the scenes are inexhaustible.
While they are very communicative with Atlas, they weren’t with each other.
Unavoidably, it got complicated at some point! Could there ever be a future for the three of them?

What followed was absolutely delicious. They are so gone for each other.
The scenes are f*cking scorching, they are long and explicitly described, a joy to experience.
All three men are so lovable! Besides their situationship, there are also complications with family and business environments. Thank goodness there are some wonderful supportive side characters.
Yes, an erotic story with a plot! It worked out perfectly!

Wheew! This is it! This is the perfect balance of Feels and Angst and SPICE! This one isn't dark but there are some heavy topics so just take a peek at the CWs before jumping in 🫶🏻

🌶🌶🌶🌶

Hugh and Linden have been "playing" with partners together for awhile. They have never really crossed any lines directly being cousins and all they always had a body between the two of them but Linden has always secretly wanted Hugh and if this was the closest he could get to him then he was going to take it. This plan was going fine until Hugh picked up Atlas as a "playmate" for the night. Atlas was perfect for them he gave both guys exactly what they needed but when the night was over Atlas was gone. Well gone until he showed up for a job interview at Hugh and Linden's company Monday morning 🤣🤣 after the initial shock wore off Hugh and Linden devised a plan that would keep Atlas in their life for a bit longer because after that night they just couldn't let him go again. Now of course having a dynamic as intense as this one, feelings are bound to get involved so when that *want* that Linden has always felt for Hugh spills over and Atlas starts falling for both guys things get complicated fast. These 3 have to really communicate and risk alot for their HEA. Gosh I was rooting for Linden and Hugh so hard 🤣 and here Atlas is acting as their glue holding them together while risking himself 🥹 Oh I loved these 3 so much this book really was just the perfect balance of everything and those epilogues were really just the cherry on top!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book completely took over my brain. The tension between Hugh and Linden was unreal, that quiet, aching restraint of two people who have loved each other forever but are trapped by blood, expectation, and fear. Every moment between them felt loaded with longing. Then Atlas steps in, sweet and bratty and painfully vulnerable, and what starts as him being a bridge between Hugh and Linden turns into something far deeper. He becomes essential, not just a catalyst but a fully loved part of the relationship. Atlas is the glue, the spark, and the courage they both needed, while Linden carries years of yearning and Hugh slowly softens from rigid control into something deeply emotional and raw. Watching Hugh open up honestly broke me in the best way.

There were moments where I was sure everything was about to implode and my heart was racing, bouncing between frustration, hope, and pure affection for all three of them. What I really appreciated was how intentional the intimacy felt. Even when emotions were messy, the communication, consent, and boundary checking between all three men added so much trust and depth to their dynamic. By the end, I just wanted to protect them all. Atlas with his self-doubt, Linden with his years of longing, and Hugh with his desperate need to be seen and valued. I could not put this book down, and when I finished, I just sat there feeling completely wrecked and full at the same time. Courtney’s writing is powerful and addictive, and these characters absolutely deserve the world.

This is only my second MMM romance and I was leery about signing up for an ARC as I didn’t enjoy the first one I read (FYI it wasn’t Milked, I haven’t read the first book in this series) but I love Courtney W. Dixon so I gave it a shot … and fuck I was blown away!! Not once did I feel any of MCs were ever left out or not a part of what was going on. Courtney did a fantastic job of setting the scene for this relationship. I was drawn in and hooked right from the start.

Atlas was definitely the one who stole my heart in this book. He’s sweet, kind, caring, loving, but also insecure. He doesn’t believe he’s got the right “look” for anyone to ever truly want him for more than some fun. Watching him change and grow as his relationship with Hugh and Linden progressed was beautiful. Atlas also had this childlike wonder to him at times when he is with Hugh and Linden, like a kid a Christmas and I found that so endearing.

Hugh and Linden have a relationship that goes beyond friends, or cousins. Both are drawn to each other, both need each other in their lives, but they’re not willing to cross the line into the taboo. Not until Atlas that is. Honestly one of the things I truly loved about this book was the lack of drama. While that might sound strange, and I’m not saying there wasn’t some drama, I just loved that we got to read a story about 3 men finding happiness and love with each other without something crazy coming out of left field. They were fairly open, understanding, and willing to explore and try new things with each other.

Book two in the Sweet & Twisted series

In this installment, we get to know Atlas, Hugh, and Linden. Atlas meets the two men in a rather unusual way, and after spending one night together, they lose touch. But as fate would have it, Hugh and Linden turn out to be Atlas’s new bosses. Atlas had applied for the assistant position and was certain he wouldn’t get the job. What he doesn’t know is that Hugh and Linden haven’t been able to forget that night either.
That alone wouldn’t be so bad—if Hugh and Linden weren’t cousins. And for Linden, that night meant much more.

My goodness, what a ride—and in the best possible way! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, rooting and hoping along with the characters. And with all that spice, things definitely got pretty hot. 😏
It was a wonderful journey with these three men. They slowly get to know each other and discover that Hugh and Linden are only truly complete with Atlas. Their princess (Atlas) is spoiled in every possible way, and at the same time, Atlas teaches the cousins what it really means to communicate openly and honestly—even though he himself struggles with that.

Thanks to the smooth and engaging writing style, you fly through the pages. You can’t help but want to know how things will continue for the three of them and whether they can build a future together. I especially loved seeing the protagonists from book one make an appearance as well.

I truly hope we’ll get more books in this series—this one was just so much fun to read!

Highly recommended.

✨ ARC Review ✨

If you thought Milked was spicy to the extreme, wellll this is even hotter 🔥🥵. Courtney Dixon did a fabulous job of mixing this erotica with jussttttt enough plot to keep you invested. And the spice? Top notch. Beautiful. Hot. Soooooooo amazing 🤩. I mean the scenes between Atlas, Linden and Hugh were absolutely to d*e for! I mean that with my whole heart, from that first scene at the bar until the end.

It's not all the same spicy scenes either! Every one feels like something new and different and delves into different kinks... Throw in some taboo element and I'm melted. I'm the puddle on the floor next to my kindle 🫠🔥. I know I'm not always one who uses big words, or gives elegant reviews but this one would have left me stupefied, without the capabilities of forming words or having to dry a mouth to do so because my blood has burned up 😂.

I loved the dynamic between all three of these men so much, their relationship felt so easy and flowed so nicely. It never felt forced or like it took a wrong direction, it went how it was supposed to go and Courtney was the beautiful mind behind the journey these characters took us on 💜.

Honestly, if you need a break from some heavier books then I highly suggest this! It's spice galore. It keeps you on your toes and I loved every minute of it 😈.
