I really liked this novella. It was different from the paranormal romcoms I’m used it. The story line and characters are very unique.
It’s about a witch that suddenly gets attacked by an ancient Egyptian bracelet, so she gets teleported to Egypt where she believes she’ll meet her mate and be able to have the bracelet magically unlocked by him.
It ends up being a MMF romance between her, a human, and a mummy. Very unusual.
My only complaint is that I think the author should have connected it back to the beginning of the story at the end. There’s no resolution at all with her magic, her cousin, her mate’s magic, or her family. It seems to end randomly and prematurely.
But I still enjoyed the story a lot.

This is a fun, short MMF monster novella.
FMC Chloe is a witch with minimal powers who’s stuck doing inventory on Halloween when a mix of circumstances, including a magic bracelet and a scurrying cousin, teleports her to Egypt and straight to her fated mate. MMC Sebastian has been waiting for her for a very long time, and he has another surprise mate waiting for her.
This book was super fun. I loved the Mummy vibes, and it was very spicy, leaning hard into the mate/insta-love trope. It did feel a bit rushed, everything happens very quickly, and I could’ve used a little more exposition and storytelling.
Overall, it’s a fast, entertaining read. There’s a hint we haven’t seen the last of these characters, so I’m excited to see if this ends up being the start of something more.

Wish it were longer
I enjoyed the concept but the execution felt really rushed. I would have liked it to be longer with a less frantic pace (...and more spice, obv)

Now I loved The Mummy, my family probably hates it because of how many times I would watch it, Rick, Evelyn, and Imhotep, finger licking good. The flesh eating beetles couldn't stop I the love I had for this movie. It's honestly no wonder why I'm a monster romance girly now. So when I saw Jacklyn post about this I was so excited and it's really good!!!
You've got Chloe who's a witch with no powers and a magical bracelet that drops her off at an Egyptian tomb, and she meets a hot archeologist named Sebastian, and then there's Ausar who's super hot AND PURPLE. The book's called Threes A Wrap so they are all together and her boyfriends are boyfriends (mates), so the smut SMUTS and it's again delicious.
The Chloe on the cover does not match the description enough from Chloe in the book, I mean it doesn't have to give the cover Chloe "dry and frizzy, unable to be straightened, and cut short to my shoulders" (this was pulled right from the book) but we could have given her a cute bob?!? Or the cover was received and her description to dry and frizzy, past her shoulders but always in a haphazard pony or messy bun. Also on my page 20 it says she's wearing trainers, and this could have easily been changed to boots. Idky I'm crashing out about this but I digress, it doesn't hurt the story.
You know the memes about the people with tism and it's the "what historical event did you hyperfixate on" (if you're reading this comment below yours because my was the Life of Nefertiti and The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald) anyways using Nefertiti as the villain hurts my stomach and sort of leaves a bad taste in my mouth, let's just leave her to rest (and bring her bust back home, she's been gone for too long).
So that's why I think this book only is only 4 stars (I wish GoodReads did half and quarter ratings because it's a 3.75 in my mind).
I cannot wait for their next adventure!!!!!

Three’s a Wrap is fast-paced, fun, and delightfully unashamed of what it is: an erotic love letter to The Mummy (1999). If you’ve ever wished those three iconic leads would just get together already, this novella delivers exactly that fantasy. Directly, playfully, and with zero hesitation. It’s a quick hit of nostalgia, sexiness, and tongue-in-cheek fun.
I did find myself wanting more, not because anything was missing, but because the overall pace is quite fast and the ending comes a little abruptly. Thankfully, it seems the author has plans to expand this into a longer version, and you can feel the story itching for that extra space to breathe. I’m so excited for it.
If you’re looking for a fast, spicy read that leans hard into Mummy-era charm and wish-fulfillment, this one is absolutely worth picking up.

Three’s a Wrap - Every 90’s Girls (and Guy’s) The Mummy whet dream
Where do I start? Ok, this was my first book by Jacklyn Hyde. My friends have been talking nonstop about her and her books forever! So when Three’s a Wrap dropped today, I immediately picked it up (everyone has to start somewhere). And let me tell you, it did not disappoint!
In this funny, short spicy read, Jacklyn gave us just enough details to keep us engaged while also hanging on to the edge of our seats with the “what happens next?”
For anyone who grew up watching The Mummy and FELT the MMF chemistry between Evelyn, Rick & Imhotep and wanted MORE… Three’s a Wrap delivered!
I for one am a total fan and will be diving down the Jacklyn Hyde backlist rabbit hole!

More like 1.75 Stars.
Like the cover. Like the overall concept/story, not so much the execution.
There's smut, it's explicit...but it's not good. I can't even remember the last time I read a Mills and Boon but it felt like an explicit M&B.
Chloe was an immature adult. Like an urrrrgghhhhh, why do I have to do this teenager. We didn't have to spend all that time with her hating on her cousin. It felt like other woman drama when there is no other woman in the story.
So, liked some aspects, didn't like others. The smut just wasn't particularly good but I appreciate that it was a short story. I think I was particularly let down coz it's MMF but I was just eye rolling for most of the story.

This was such a cute novella! I wish it was longer! I feel so invested in Chloe and her mates. Chloe gets herself into predicaments especially during Halloween, this year instead of accidentally summoning a demon (again) she gets her wrist stuck in a gold bracelet that seems to have a mind of its own. Happy chaos ensues when a simple scrying spell ends up with Chloe between the sheets with a few thousand year old alien mummy and an almost two hundred year old archeologist.

This was a great start, but I’m gonna need more. My 90s bisexual awakening, thanks to the movie “the mummy”, has been waiting for this validation.
I’m trusting you with this very important thing. LFG.

This was a fun, shorty and easy read. It was a MMF Mummy retelling (retelling is very loose) but I had a great time while reading it! I was able to read it in about 20 minutes - even with my husband talking to me the whole time I was reading it 😂
November 18, 2025
I think in my head this was going to have some references/influencies to/from the 1999 Mummy movie and it doesn’t. TBH this is a me expectation, not anything touted by the author. I really like other things I’ve read from this author and plan to read other things she writes.
November 19, 2025
idk why i read this, idk i expected more than just sex with almost no plot, but maybe that's a me problem, i should've check before reading it,, still didn't feel like dnfing because of how short it is,, but yeah...
November 20, 2025
I mean… it’s a fun little novella. I wish it was longer… I guess. I love this author and her other books, the writing is fun and flows super nicely. This Novella was just a bit too short for me but a fun little spicy read anyway.

Which seems harsh.
I really loved the characters. But this should’ve been a whole novel not a novella.
As a novella it felt very info dumpy. The story was so cool. I would’ve loved to see it as a novel.
