WHEWWWWWWW I think there was literal steam coming out of my headphones listening to this ALC 🥵😮💨
Maddox and Marley have helped pick up the pieces of Zander’s life for years after the loss of their friend and his wife. Now seems as good a time as ever to try their shot and cross the friendship line they’ve tried so hold to withhold. Surprising to everyone- even Zander himself, he’s all for it. And the debauchery that follows with these three….you gotta see it (or hear it) to believe it.
This lil novella was short and sweet and absolute FILTH in the very best way. I had the time of my life (even tho I didn’t realize it was book two 🫣 blaming my post partum brain). I loved the dynamics of all three of these characters with their back stories and history and connection to each other. The narrators were 10/10 and brought these characters to life so excellently.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Holy fricken smut, i DEVOURED THIS SO FAST, if your looking for a short and very smutty read this is definitely what you need. We have our main characters Marley, Maddox and Zander and gosh i loved them!! The spice was down right fifthly and i ate it all up!! The audiobook performed in dual by Savannah Thomas and Ash Beverly was literal perfection and i highly recommend listen and reading at the same time because it will leave you with your heart pounding and in a puddle

I received this Advanced Listening/Reader copy for my honest opinion
Can we say “ that was a spicy little nugget “
After a photo shoot with his best friend and his bffs wife , Zander and his besties have a wild night … Zander is still struggling with grief from the loss of his wife , but can his friends help ease that pain?
“You two have now ruined the term Daddy for me’l
As usual Tilly and C.S know how to write a MMF !

ARC REVIEW
When I signed up for this one, I didn’t read the blurb or anything about it. I just saw why choose and immediately thought, yep, this is my kind of book. I went in completely blind—and I’m so glad I did because it was such a fun surprise. It was one of those reads where you can’t quite explain how good it felt, but trust me, I definitely felt things.
I loved the dynamic between Zander, Marley, and Maddox. Even before anything romantic happened, it was clear they shared a deep bond and genuinely cared about each other. Their friendship felt strong and authentic, and you could tell they all sensed that something was missing in their group—something that could make them whole.
Zander especially stood out to me. After losing the love of his life, he’s been stuck in survival mode, going through the motions rather than truly living. The only times he seems to break out of that shell are when Maddox and Marley drag him out and try to bring some life back into his world.
One night, what starts as their usual flirting and teasing slowly shifts into something more real, and suddenly everything changes. Watching that transition from friendship to something deeper felt natural and exciting.
This was actually my first time reading this kind of dynamic in the bedroom, and I’ll just say… it was an experience. I definitely discovered a few things about my tastes I didn’t know before.
Overall, it was a really fun, spicy novella that I thoroughly enjoyed—and I can already tell it’s one I’ll be rereading (or listening to) again.

Ride the Line is the second book in the Masked Desires series but can be read as a standalone.
Okay but… this was FILTHY 🥵 In the best way.
Ride The Line is a short MMF read, but don’t let the length fool you. It wastes zero time and goes straight for the throat.
Maddox. Zander. Marley.
The chemistry between the three of them? Absolutely feral. The tension was thick, the dynamic was intense, and every scene was on fire. It’s bold, it’s unapologetic, and it fully leans into the kink without holding back emotionally.
What I loved most is that beneath all the heat, there’s trust. Consent. Power dynamics that feel intentional. The push and pull between control and surrender was done so well, especially with Marley owning her space in that dynamic.
If you’re looking for something quick, scorching, and deliciously messy in the best way, this one delivers.
🔥 Tropes & Vibes:
🏍️ MMF
🏍️ Sports Bikes & “Keep the helmet on”
💍 Opening Marriage
👨👧 Single Dad
👀 Exhibitionism
🔥 Cuckolding
💦 Jealous tension done right
🎂 Age Gap
👑 Fem Dom energy

Okay so I enjoyed this story overall but didn't love it as much as the first book, I didn't fall in love with the character's like I did in the first book but I did really like the character's and i'm really happy that they found their happiness after everything and the ending was so sweet, I think personally the spice in this one wasn't for me and so I feel like that's the main thing was that I did enjoy the spice and it was fun to read however it's not my favorite spice and some of the kinks in here I don't know how to feel about them and some I know I don't like reading and there was a new kink in here that i've never read before, I don't know, I loved the dynamic from the first book way more but I still liked this dynamic, I also loved seeing a glimpse of the character's from the first book in this and where they are now but overall this was fun and I would recommend

Review of advance copy
This book was short, sexy and superb!
When you lose the love if your life and your best friend and his wife are there through it all... there really is only 1 acceptable end result right??
The audiobook for this was utterly superb! Savannah Thomas and Ash Beverly did an exceptional job 👏

ALC Review:
Dual Narration by Savannah Thomas and Ash Beverly
Tropes:
MMF
Opening Marriage
Friends to lovers
Best friend’s spouse
Sports Bike Riders
One night agreement
This story centers on Marley, Maddox, and Zander as they navigate loss, longing, and an unexpected shift in their relationships. After an offhand comment turns into a bold one-night agreement with no expectations attached, the trio quickly realizes emotions aren’t so easily contained.
For such a short novella, this was a wild time and it pulled zero punches. The emotional intensity and vulnerability felt raw and honest, and I appreciated how liberating the story felt. Watching their connection evolve into something heartwarming by the end made the journey worth every emotional beat.
Savannah Thomas gave Marley a fierce, emotional depth that made her impossible to ignore. She embodied Marley’s resilience and heartbreak with strength. Ash Beverly’s dual performance as Maddox and Zander was excellent—each character had a distinct emotional tone and presence that made the dynamic feel authentic and layered.
Huge thanks to Luna Literary and the authors for this ALC.

Spicy novella with cucking
I listened to it twice, 2 consecutive days in a row... #enoughsaid
Also: Don't let the cute cover fool you!
The spice starts early and once it starts, it does not stop... 😉
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the story by Tilly Ridge and C.S. Silverne
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 for the narration by Savannah Thomas and Ash Beverly🎙️
What it is about:
Married couple Marley and Maddox, who recently experimented with hotwifing and cuckolding, finally act on their feelings for their best friend Zander.
What I loved:
🫂that everyone's POV is told throughout the book
🏍️how Maddox' bike is out of commission, so he has to backpack with Zander 🤣
🩷that she has a pink helmet #loveit
💋the memories of their first kiss, but with heavy petting and dry-humping 🥵
🚦I appreciate the use of BDSM etiquette with red light/green light
🧑🏻🏫I learned something new; that there is a difference between a hot wife and cuckolding 😅
What I struggled with:
❓I question the practicality of having sexy times with a bike helmet on 🤔
❌the insensitive reference to "my dead baby momma"
🔊chapter 8 sounded off; I mainly had sound in my right ear, almost nothing in my left ear... not sure whether it was on purpose or a technical issue, but the 90/10 balance was annoyingly distracting

Review of advance copy received from Author
this was a super fast, but hot read.
Zander even after 6 years is struggling with such a great loss, while also it being the best day of his life celebrating the life of his daughter.
His close friends Marley and Maddox have been there for him through it all.
and well they say your friends help you during difficult times...and that they do. that is exactly what Marely and Maddox do after they've had enough of him burying himself in depression on such a complicated day.
they just go a little extra 😏🥵
when a bike ride together turns into something even more hot...
the evening is just getting started.
be sure to have a fan blowing on you, this very short novella will have you heating up in no time. 🥵
note this is book 2 of the Masked Desire series, however it is a standalone. still I decided to read book 1 since it was a novella as well...just slightly longer than this book and I highly recommend you do. not because there's things you'd miss otherwise...but because book 1, Play the Game is even more hot. 🔥
but you also see the characters make an appearance in this book. ☺️
🫶🏻thank you Tilly Ridge, C.S. Silverne, and lunaliterary.management for the arc.

If you’re looking for a book with minimal plot but all the spice ramped up 👉🏼 this one’s for you!
We dive straight in, meeting Maddox and Marley, who are already married and Zander, widower and single father. Maddox and Marley have already dabbled and enjoyed cůckinğ and one off-hand comment leads to all three of them in Zander’s home.
Expect oral, breeding, forced orgasms, praise and degradation, somno, cúm play and sharing is caring.
This was so hot and spicy, I just wanted more. I need a full length novel of this now please Tilly & C.S!!

Seven years after losing his wife in childbirth, Zander has accepted a life without love—until one unforgettable night with his late wife’s best friend, Marley, and her husband, Maddox—who have secretly wanted him for years—changes everything.
That single, night forces them all to confront feelings they’ve kept hidden. Zander doesn’t want to lose their friendship, but can Marley and Maddox accept him into their marriage… and into his daughter’s life? What begins as one night of passion could turn into a complicated, passionate love—or risk losing everything .
If you want 89 pages of pure MMF fun, this book is definitely for you—and if you love bikers, it’s even better! The chemistry is off the charts, and the story keeps you hooked from start to finish. I didn’t give it more stars because the daddy/mummy vibe isn’t really my thing, but I know a lot of readers will enjoy it. Everyone has different tastes, and this one will definitely hit the mark for fans of spicy, edgy romances.

Review of advance copy received from Publisher
I was given this ALC to give my honest opinion and wow I am obsessed!!!
This was short, sweet and spicy! Zander lost his wife a while back and Marley her best friend. Marley and Maddox are married but what if they can make Zander feel good after all this time? Zander and Maddox have been best friends since childhood. We find out Maddox is into cucking and things just get spicy from there!
If you want to hear Savannah and Ash getting spicy, this is the best listen for you. Savannah is a big favorite of mine as far as narrators go but man did I love her even more in this one. Ash also does such an incredible job!!

כמו בפ¡רנו, לא ברור לי למה צריך לטרוח לעשות פתיח או עלילה אם בסופו של דבר כל מה שאתם עושים זה חרבו דרבו
הסמאט בסדר, לא התעלפתי
מסוג המקרים שבה כריכה גורמת לי לקרוא ובסוף אני מבינה שזה היה החלק הכי טוב בספר 🤣

This novella was so flipping delicious!! For such a quick spicy read, it really hit hard in the feels too! 🥺🥵 I enjoyed this audio so much!
March 11, 2026
Well this was spicy as heck. Oh I am obsessed with this. I mean a poly couple both simping over their best friend and then they all finally have a "fuck it" moment? What is there not to love? Plus all hail the cuck chair 😂🥳 I read this in the time it took me to do my makeup for work so it's definitely a quick and hot read. The plot is minimal so don't go into this expecting it.

Truly unsure how I’m ever supposed to write a real review. I received this as an arc which yay I love, but the story was very short and honestly I couldn’t connect with the characters, I feel like this could have been a full fledge 300 page book diving into grief and friendship and building a relationship together instead it was one massive sex scene. If I could rate this just with 🌶️ it would be ♾️/🌶️ 91 pages of sex and I mean yes it was very well written sex but still I prefer to have a little more umf and backstory with my books.
Again I received this as an arc and am giving my honest input

This was not only INSANELY spicy , but full of so much love. I had no doubt that this would be a short and fantastic ride. Loved every little detail and every moment of this fast paced read!
If you need a quick , insanely spice, yet sweet read, go get this book! CS and Tilly are a force to be reckoned with 👏every 👏time!
The audio book was also fantastic! I had the pleasure of enjoying this book on both platforms . @savannahreadsromance and @readbyashbeverly make this read even hotter with the audio. Like truly so good!

I didn’t know a spicy novella could hit at the heart strings but Tilly and C.S. did it! This was such a good short read! All of the characters are lovable and the spice was on point. It was everything you need from a novella.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
Spice-meter: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️☆ (4/5)
Audiobook: 🎧 Dual
Series: Masked Desires, Book 2
HEA: No cliffhanger
Ride the Line is short, sharp, and absolute filth in the very best way. For a novella, it pulls zero punches. The heat is immediate, unapologetic, and intense. But what caught me off guard wasn’t the spice. It was the tenderness underneath it.
Beneath the explicit exploration is a story about expanding love instead of replacing it. About grief that lingers. About honoring vows while daring to reshape what commitment looks like. It is messy, bold, and surprisingly emotional for something you can devour in one sitting.
The Story
Life was beautiful. Until it wasn’t.
Loss leaves Maddox, Marley, and Zander each trapped in their own quiet version of longing. One offhand comment over drinks changes everything. What starts as a single night with no past and no future quickly becomes something that forces all three of them to confront desire, loyalty, and what marriage can survive.
Marley and Maddox already said their vows years ago. They have history. They have scars. Opening their marriage is not about replacing anything. It is about asking a terrifying question: can love stretch without breaking?
Zander is not just a third body in the room. He is presence, tension, and emotional catalyst. And because every POV is represented throughout the book, you feel the weight of each perspective. The vulnerability. The jealousy. The hunger. The hope.
This is not casual spice. It is charged, intentional exploration.
What to Expect
🏍️ MMF dynamic
🌶️ Single dad
🏍️ Opening a marriage
🌶️ Exhibitionism
🏍️ Cuckolding elements
🌶️ Fem dom energy
🏍️ Daddy/Mommy/Little Boy kink (no age play)
The spice is explicit and plentiful. Threesome dynamics, humiliation, degradation, breeding kink themes (no pregnancy; vasectomy mentioned), power exchange, and exhibitionism are all on the table. It is bold, boundary-pushing, and absolutely not shy.
And yet, it never feels hollow. The emotional core grounds it.
🎧 Narration
Performed in dual by Savannah Thomas and Ash Beverly, and this audiobook is perfection.
Savannah Thomas gives Marley a fierce emotional depth that makes her impossible to ignore. You feel her resilience, her heartbreak, and her hunger for something more. She brings strength without losing softness.
Ash Beverly delivers a dual performance for both Maddox and Zander, and the distinction between them is clear and intentional. Each man carries a different emotional tone and presence, which makes the MMF dynamic feel layered rather than blurred.
I highly recommend listening while reading along. It heightens the tension and leaves you slightly breathless by the end.
Final Thoughts
Ride the Line is raw, daring, and surprisingly tender. It explores poly dynamics without erasing marriage. It acknowledges grief without drowning in it. And it proves that desire does not always mean destruction.
If you are looking for something short, scorching, and emotionally layered with an MMF dynamic that actually feels intentional, this novella delivers.
Sometimes love does not need to be replaced.
Sometimes it just needs more room.

Review of advance copy
What I got was spice wrapped in grief, stitched together with love, and set on fire in the most beautiful way.
This book is not just “one wild night changes everything.” It is what happens when loss carves hollow spaces inside three people and they accidentally find warmth in the same place.
Marley. Maddox. Zander.
The emotional weight in this story hit me first. Grief lingers in every corner. It’s quiet. Heavy. The kind that sits at the dinner table with you. Marley is aching in a way that feels painfully real. Maddox is trying to hold everything together because that’s what he does. And Zander? Zander walks in carrying his own devastation, his own ghosts.
That one offhand comment over drinks? It felt small in the moment. Casual. Reckless. And yet it unravels everything.
What I loved most is that this wasn’t messy for shock value. It was messy because love is messy. Because loss rearranges people. Because sometimes healing doesn’t look the way you thought it would.
Maddox and Marley already have vows. History. Foundation. Watching their marriage stretch instead of shatter was unexpectedly beautiful. There’s fear. Jealousy. Vulnerability. But there’s also communication and a deep, bone level commitment to choosing each other again and again.
And then there’s Zander.
The dynamic between the three of them builds slowly. It’s not instant perfection. It’s tension. It’s stolen looks. It’s the question of “are we really doing this?” hovering in the air like a spark waiting for oxygen. When it ignites? It ignites.
Yes, it’s spicy. Very. The chemistry is intense and layered because it’s built on shared history and shared heartbreak. The physical connection feels like an extension of their emotional vulnerability, not separate from it.
But what surprised me most was how tender this book is. Underneath the heat is a story about expanding love instead of replacing it. About honoring the past while daring to want a future that looks different than you imagined.
I felt everything. The guilt. The longing. The fear of ruining something sacred. And then the slow realization that maybe love is not a finite resource. Maybe it multiplies when you let it.
By the end, I wasn’t just invested. I was fully in it. Rooting for them. Crying for them. Grinning like an idiot when they finally leaned into what they were building.
Spicy, emotional, complicated, and unexpectedly beautiful.
This one stayed with me long after I closed the last page.
