Not in reality anyway.Both of these brothers are out to please and they both have the equipment to do it. The Wilder brothers have proved that.Kyan Wilder fucks like no other man I've ever experienced. He's rough, creative and still willing to be gentle when you need it. He's every single woman's desire brought to life and he's not willing to let me go until he's done pleasing me in every possible way he can.Hunter Wilder is a loose cannon. He likes to party, get wild and then show you a good time in the bedroom. He keeps me pleased and reminds me that I'm still young and not everything in life needs to be so serious.We're all fine with sharing. Things are going smoothly. It saves the brothers from having to commit and it ensures that I'll always get the sexual satisfaction that I desire.

Calla Reynolds is a 24 yr. old woman living in Chicago who keeps busy as a wedding photographer. She is still hurt over a bad breakup, and hasn't been with a man in a while. When she moves into a new apartment with her best friend Tori, she meets a gorgeous guy named Kyan Wilder. He is mouthwatering delicious, and they hit it off. He invites her to visit his gym Wilder Fitness, and Calla is extremely intrigued by this sexy neighbor.

When Kyan asks Calla to do a photo shoot for him, things quickly heat up between them. Their intense attraction can't be denied, and Kyan lets Calla know exactly what he wants. He is forward and asks her to have a purely physical relationship where he can give her amazing pleasure. Ummm...yup, sign me up! ;))

 photo a05f59e2-3563-45f6-b51d-061e4ff58983_zps4eafnqyw.jpg

Kyan then begins training Calla in his gym while also satisfying her every sexual need. Calla is having fun, and feeling carefree & happy. Kyan is a very busy guy, and he doesn't have time for attachments. He assures Calla if she wants to see anyone else also, that is fine with him. This is all ok with Calla. She is enjoying being spontaneous & just living in the moment with this beautiful man who is not only hot as hell, but is giving her the best sex of her life!

-I've never seen a man with such a beautiful body in my life.

-He's sexy, smooth, and successful; the perfect blend of trouble.

-He does things to me that no one else does and I'm starting to see that.

-His kiss is so gentle, yet filled with so much passion that I feel breathless in his embrace.

 photo f2b521f6-ae8c-4864-81bc-4b99dfbba161_zpslvmwrwr9.jpg

Since they are not exclusive, when Calla runs into a guy from her past that she always had a crush on, she accepts his invitation for a date. They become involved, & it turns out this guy is Kyan's younger brother. He also wants no strings attached sex. Calla thinks she's spending time with two yummy men that don't know each other. She is enjoying being more adventurous and having all her fantasies & desires fulfilled. Then she finds out their brothers & things get a bit more complicated.

 photo cd3a0dc3-997d-4145-a4ac-5a4a91deee2e_zpsoqursxq4.jpg

Suddenly things get confusing when real feelings start to develop. Calla begins to fall for one of the brothers & decides she isn't happy with just sex, and wants more. We find out more from their past & get an amazing ending. This was my favorite book I've read by Victoria Ashley! It was so different from her other series which I also love! I fell hard for one of these brothers & couldn't get enough. This was such a sexy read, but also had a fab love story, and no, not a threesome. 2 brothers, 1 girl, but separate. It was very steamy! Calla gets A LOT of attention!!! ;))

 photo athurst_zpsqo52hnzf.gif

-I've been trying so hard not to think too much that I've been completely blind to any feelings I've been developing. I feel an ache in my chest as I picture his beautiful smile and the feel of his breath against my lips.

-His lips move with mine as if he's lost in me and he wants nothing more than to own me with this kiss... and he does. This one kiss owns me, along with my heart.

-I'm feeling things I haven't felt in a long time.

-This woman might just have the power to break me completely...

-Despite me trying to shut it off, this man has been evading my every thought from the very beginning.

-I don't know if I can just have a sexual relationship with him anymore.

-With him... I need it all.

Soooooo I'm about half way through and I'm #Team Kyan at the moment, there's just something about him that pulls me more to his character more than Hunter's..To me Hunter seems more of the F*ck em, and leave em type..And I'm not going to change the above you'll just have to read it to see which brother wins her heart..

Anything from this author you know it's going to be one panty wetting extreme ride!!

NO ATTACHMENTS

"Do you think you could have sex with me without expecting more and getting emotionally involved?"

JUST SEX

Ride my f*cking face until I taste your release on my tongue. I want every f*cking last drop."

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

There's no attachment. We're both free to f*ck who we want, and there will be nothing more than me f*cking her brains out and pleasuring her. I've made that very clear ~ Kyan

And then enters Hunter:

I wanted so badly to talk to hunter back in high school

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

"How many more chances am I going to get to sleep with the one guy that I've crushed on for years and thought that I'd never have a chance with?"

WE'RE JUST TWO ADULTS HAVING A LITTLE FUN

Kyan never seems rushed, he's into pleasuring me first, while Hunter's into f*cking me hard and fast.

Please, please, please (yes I am begging) give us a story about the crazy best friend (Tori the room mate)

4.5 ★'s

Wow, I certainly wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. I think I was more curious than anything about the possible threesome. But just to set things straight...there is NO threesome.

Calla and her friend, Tori just moved into a new apartment and Calla goes downstairs to the bar and takes a break. That's when she meets Kyan. They have a few drinks and play some pool. They both can't stop thinking of each other.

Kyan makes his move when Calla comes over to photograph him for a book cover (she's a photographer). Kyan makes it clear that he does not want a relationship...just sex and Calla agrees with it. Kyan also tells her she's free to have sex with other people. So...she does! And it just happens to be an old crush from high school who also happens to be Kyan's brother, Hunter.

While they are both yummy, Hunter is a little too young and carefree but even if he wasn't, Kyan is just all that. Seriously, he is the total fantasy man...all about pleasing his woman, great in business, owns a fitness club and is a personal trainer, rides a motorcycle, wears suits, ties, casual clothes and no clothes to perfection. And of course, the man can dance.

description

Both Hunter and Kyan know about each other but when Calla finds out, she's a bit freaked out over it. Still she takes all her clues from Kyan who doesn't seem fazed by it even though he is. Calla is starting to read his little clues and catches on a little.

Still, Calla is falling more and more for Kyan and they get closer and closer, sharing things and spending time together.

Unfortunately, they've both been burned in the past and their pasts are catching up with them. Calla has to go to her sister's wedding, aka where her "past" is, and she asks Kyan to go but he can't make it. She puts on a brave face and goes anyway. There's lots of drama but some of it does turn out for the better.

Kyan has a better handle on his past and is ready to move on. Now, it's the problem of Calla having been with Hunter. I have to give kudos to Hunter though, I just love what he orchestrated!

It does end well and the last chapter is a sort of epilogue. Is there a possibility of Hunter and Tori, Calla's roommate? That would be a great book!

4 “Have. You. Ever. Thought. About. Fucking. Me?” Stars.



This was a really sexy contemporary romance, and I really loved Kyan.

I liked the main characters – Calla and Kyan in this story, although I did wonder if either of them would be able to maintain a no-strings-attached-sex kind of relationship! I also didn’t really understand why either of them were happy with Hunter stepping into the picture.

“Do you think you could have sex with me without expecting more and getting emotionally involved?”



Hunter on the other hand I did not like. He basically just used Calla for sex, and once he’d got what he wanted, he immediately left!

“I need to get back to the gym.” He licks his lips and smiles against my mouth. “I just had to get the out first. Glad I did too. See ya later, gorgeous.”



The storyline in this followed Calla as she tried to choose between Kyan and Hunter, although personally I didn’t see why it was such a hard choice; Hunter was an ass! I did like the romance between Calla and Kyan though, and the sex-scenes between them were super-hot!

“I’m here to please you, Calla.”



The ending to this was also really good, and I’m glad that things worked out for this pair.
7.5 out of 10

My Thoughts - Story
Damn…the first thing I have to get off of my chest is:

Hi, my name is Carol
and I am a cover whore
 
But, I did agree to read this for Ms. Ashley before I even saw those fucking abs that I would love to run my tongue across and oh how I want to take….ahem – sorry see I told you I was a whore!



Now, if you check all of Ms. Ashley’s books, you will see that I have read all the books she has released because I can’t deny any book she writes. Why? Holy Shit…the biggest reason that this is porn with a story. It’s no lie that I was reading this in bed last night and I had to take a break and visit with my good friend BOB.

Ms. Ashley has a way of taking steamy scenes and weaving it into a story that you aren’t side-tracked by the sex. It is an added bonus that makes the story even more complex.

If you are like me, and you can’t stand love triangles…this book is still OK. It’s not so much a triangle but just an agreement for sex. There isn’t any angst with the situation, and I believe it brings in a needed part to the story to unfold correctly.



And I have to add here….there was one saying in this book that has made it to my “most favorite” words!

Fluffin’ the muffin

Re-Cap
Calla meets Kyan and the attraction is instant – sex wise. Kyan doesn’t want a relationship – he gets off on pleasuring women and he can’t get Calla out of his mind.

Hunter is a blast from Calla’s past – being an old crush from high school. He wants to fuck her and she has always dreamed of fucking him.



These two are brothers – no strings – no relationships.

4 Fluffin’ my own muffin stars!

I surprised myself by giving this book 4 stars. But it is nice reading for one evening with a very sexy story.

I basically do not like love triangles. And in this case, on top of that, we have two brothers. This should be a mess, but there's no hard feelings.

Kyan Wilder does not want commitment. Only give pleasure. Hunter Wilder is in this just for fun. And Calla wants adventure, satisfaction and just living for once. They give her this, and are aware of the situation in which they find themselves. Like I said - no hard feelings. There's a lot of hot sex scenes. As an erotic book is very good.

"You deserve to be pleasured.
Let us do that for you."


And within this story, of course, appear feelings and emotions, is uneasily for a moment. A few bad decisions, stubbornness and situation is a little more complicated. But we must remember that this short story. So pretty soon everything is going well.

Very nice support characters. Tori was geart. I wouldn't offended if her book was created next! Very good lightly written.

I enjoyed it, for such a short and erotic romance it was really cool.

2 BROTHERS... 1 GIRL...


Thrust is a book that oozes sexual tension, it drips off the pages and smothers you!! There wasn't one moment that this erotic tale didn't have me fanning myself.
Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Calla Reynolds has just moved into the apartment of her dreams with her best friend Tori. Tori is a kick, let me tell you. Every scene involving this FUNYUNS® loving woman had me laughing. Their banter was the absolute best!

A night of celebration brings Calla to the bar downstairs, where she meets Kyan Wilder. Their attraction for one another is undeniable and soon they embark on a sensual journey of strictly pleasure, no strings attached. Kyan is gorgeous, fit, tattooed, and he doesn't do relationships; he's strictly s-e-x only. And he's oh so talented with his tongue, let’s not forget to mention that.

“Ride my fucking face until I taste your release on my tongue. I want every fucking last drop.” ~ KYAN

Weeks pass as K & C continue their friends with benefits relationship when baby brother Hunter comes into the picture. Hunter has been away on vacation when he spots Calla at the bar not knowing she’s having a 'sex only, no strings attached’ type relationship with his older brother, Kyan. Hunter Wilder is the party animal, the womanizer; he’s young and careless but the kicker, well the kicker is that Calla has had a crush on Hunter since High School. Oh man, cue the curtains because this is where the drama starts!!

“I want you to ride me right here in the back of my truck. I think it would be really fucking hot; you know, to sneak around like we all had to do in high school, having sex when and wherever we could without getting caught.” ~ HUNTER

This is a game, one involving sex with both of these gorgeous brothers’. A game that soon turns into a whirl wind of mixed feelings and blurred lines. The difference between the two: Hunter f**ks, Kyan pleasures, and both are a deadly combination. Calla has a connection with Kyan and feels she can trust him, but Kyan doesn't want the whole relationship, he keeps his heart at a safe distance. But he starts to develop feelings for her anyway. Hunter is in it for the fun that sex brings. He likes it fast, hard, and rough. All I have to say is Calla is a lucky whore to be f**king two sexy as hell brothers and for them both to be okay with it. Talk about sharing lol.

"Kyan never seems rushed, he's into pleasuring me first, while Hunter's into fucking me hard and fast." ~ CALLA

Both Calla and Kyan have been betrayed in the past by people they loved. Kyan fights his feelings in fear of having his heart broken again. What he doesn't see is that Calla has been down that same road as him and has already fallen for him. The question now is, will Kyan let go of his past and the betrayal that haunts him in order to have a relationship with Calla? Two can tango but three’s a crowd, who will Calla pick at the end?

Victoria Ashley sure know how to bring the WOW and HOT factors into her stories. BRAVO!

☆ I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you so much!! ☆

#Oh my gosh, my ovaries! I felt like such a cat in heat in this one! Yes, I did!

Thrust Teaser 05

Calla and Kyan’s “arrangement,” if you will, was supposed to be all fun and sex and nothing more. Until, thoughts and feelings evolve…and Kyan��s brother, Hunter, who’s a blast from Calla’s past, enters the picture and causes a stir in things. So scandalous!! And ooober hot!!

Author Victoria Ashley has this way of capturing her audience with two mega hot males and one female who has NO IDEA what’s in store for her!

I mean, while I was #TEAMKYAN through and through, it was such a contrast to see him and his brother, as both are ladies men, but Kyan is more serious whereas Parker is more free spirited.

Calla, wow, I envy you girl!!

I know ultimately I’d probably choose Kyan physically, emotionally, and sex wise….but, wah, Hunter, is a yummy treat too!!

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Calla and Kyan are the perfect combo as both have been burned by the stake of love before and neither know what uncharted territory they’re getting themselves into as their relationship blooms and progresses! Not to mention, the sticky mess of Hunter being the mix!

Okay, so holy crap!!! Tori is consistently amazing in all that she does, but this IS MY FAVORITE BOOK SHE HAS DONE SO FAR!
I went into this thinking, okay taboo book meh...there's a ton, but this dynamic is SOOO DIFFERENT than I had anticipated.

First off, Calla and Tori had me cracking up laughing and I'll never look at muffins the same (once you read you'll understand lol). Those two together and separately add another dimension to the depth of the characters and are just plain funny. I LOVE LOVE LOVEEED the fact that Calla wasn't some whiney ass girl who didn't take what she wanted, hesitant and scared, yes, but never annoying and I can definitely appreciate that about a character. She grew through the book and it was flawless.
Can we just take a second and swoon over Kyan please?!?!?!! Kay good. Sexy alpha male who's been hurt in the past and wants a no strings attached sexy time, check. Bangin body, check. Soft side, check. Take me up against the wall bedroom eyes, check check check lol. He's jaded and he gets stuck in a situation with this amazing girl and his brother, who by the way, Hunter is just as sexy and an old crush of Calla's, and he thinks he can handle it no problem.
I love the evolution of these characters and ESPECIALLY Kyan and it was just perfect. It was so much more than taboo, the situation was still classy, yet a little dirty and definitely hot hot hot. Who wouldn't want the best of both Wilder worlds ;)
Hands down my favorite Victoria Ashley book thus far. Couldn't put it down, read it front to back in under 3 hours!
Well done Tori!

My GOD! I don't smoke, but after reading this baby, I'm definitely going to need a cigarette! This was an intensely HOT read with so much heart. Only the amazing Victoria Ashley can make me fan myself the entire way through one of her books. I mean HOT DAYUM woman! You get yours! Oh, the sweet dreams I will have tonight...

This is by far my favorite book from this author. I'm used to her steamy erotic reads, but my god this one takes the cake! Kyan and Hunter are brothers. One is responsible and ridiculously dominant. The other is more of a free spirit type, that 'I will get to it when I get to it' type individual. Both are gorgeous and successful. Both want Calla the minute they see her. Calla has never been so attracted to a man in her life. After having a go with both brothers, her feelings grow stronger towards one of them. The problem is, his past will not allow him to have something more with Calla. Can she really continue going the 'fuck buddies' route, or will her heart end up craving ALL or nothing?

THRUST is an all out, über erotic story that will have you hopping in the next available cold shower. It's intense, passionate, and steamy to the max, and I couldn't put this down until I devoured the entire book. This is a story about two people confronting the past, making sacrifices, and trying to ease each other's pain, making this emotional as well as steamy. I couldn't get enough of Kyan's dirty mouth and Hunter's easy-going nature. I'm extremely jealous of Calla. What I wouldn't give to be with either of these sexy sexy men!

2 Brothers...1 Girl

~~3.5 HEARTS~~

I was expecting this one to be better than it was. I think I had a problem with the "other" guy being the brother and the fact that Calla didn't even wait 15 mins before she was sleeping with each of the brother. She just went straight from having sex with Hunter to Kyan. Though there were things that irked me, I still enjoyed reading it.

Original Review @ Naomi’s Reading Palace

Victoria Ashley is a master at creating stories and characters that stick with me for a long time, and she has done it again with Thrust! Calla is a professional photographer, and after a fun night at the bar Kyan convinces Calla to take his photos for a cover to a romance book… that right there had me hooked! Just thinking of those sexy covers and what goes on behind the scenes had my head whirling!!

Calla is such a fun and relaxed girl. She has a great attitude towards life, and I liked how she was willing to try something outside her comfort zone. Her first meeting with Kyan was pretty entertaining and it was good to see her being herself around him, not trying hard to impress him.

Kyan is a ripped and gorgeous businessman, who can charm and seduce any girl with ease. He prefers the no attachment type of relationship because he is unwilling to give his heart away. He was upfront with Calla about what he wanted and I could tell he had demons in his past. I liked how easily Calla was able to make a connection with Kyan, they were very comfortable around each other and not a lot of that awkwardness.

Hunter is the carefree playboy who will sleep with any girl he’s attracted to. He is very confident and charismatic, and was quick to use his skills with Calla. They had an easy arrangement and I liked seeing their easy friendship and sizzling passion grow. Both guys treated Calla well and neither of them left her unsatisfied, it was always hot and steamy… no wonder she was content to be with both.

Calla’s past is brought to attention and soon she realises she has to face the people that shattered her heart. Even though it was difficult for her, I liked seeing her stand up and face it. It took a lot of courage and I was happy to see that she had support. Her best friend Tori was an entertaining character, I tell you! She is the blunt voice of reason and will have Calla’s back no matter what!

Thrust was a quick read which had an easy feel to it. All the characters are amusing and the story line was entertaining right until the very end. I liked how Calla was able to grow throughout the book and became a better person in the end. I liked how the story wrapped up, and I am now curious as to what will happen with Tori in the future, she has no filter and her book would be hilarious!

This book is absolutely wonderful. The one of the best Victoria Ashley book I've read, and I've read most of them! This book is the absolute model of how you write a love triangle, three likable characters, two swoon worthy brothers, and one amazingly complicated situation. This book is perfection, hot as hell, gut clenching, emotional and completely believable I've read it several times over the last year so I was excited to get a chance to listen to the audio. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT !! Kai and Wen do a phenomenal job on this one. They are simply the best pair of narrators in romance and this book is a perfect example. The emotion they convey with just their voices sucks you right into the character's lives. I've already found myself going back over and over again to listen to my favorite parts. Simply a great experience.

What could be hotter than a sexy gym owner/personal trainer who can’t keep his hands off you? How about him having a hot, younger brother who also wants you?

Calla has had a long dry spell after a bad break-up. One night in her new apartment building and she meets an attractive man, Kyan, who wants her just as much as she wants him.

“Ride my fucking face until I taste your release on my tongue. I want every fucking last drop.”

There’s only one rule: it is just sex for fun, no feelings involved.

“There’s no attachment. We’re both free to fuck who we want, and there will be nothing more than me fucking her brains out and pleasuring her.”

Enter Hunter, Calla’s long time high school crush. Since she is just having fun with Kyan, she decides to just have fun with Hunter too.

“I want you to ride me right here in the back of my truck. I think it would be really fucking hot; you know, to sneak around like we all had to do in high school, having sex when and wherever we could without getting caught.”

So which brother will she end up with? Or will she end up alone? Read and find out! You won’t be disappointed! Thrust was a sexy-as-sin, panty-melting read that also showed how two people could work through their past issues. Tiffany, 4 stars

~~~

Calla Reynolds is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Well, two very hard “places.” Brothers to be exact. Can she really let go of her inhibitions and enjoy sex without a relationship, no strings with two very different brothers?

Kyan Wilder is driven. Driven to succeed in everything he touches—in and out of the bedroom. Kyan is also very closed off. Unwilling to let anyone in and unwilling to admit any feelings besides lust.

Hunter Wilder is the opposite of his brother. Hunter is driven all right, not to succeed in business, but to succeed in pleasure—life is one big party. And Hunter is too busy enjoying it to settle.

But what happens when feelings start to interfere with sex? What happens when someone wants more?

Two guys, one girl? A love triangle between two gorgeous brothers with the “equipment” to please and pleasure. What’s not to like? I enjoyed most of the aspects of this book. I really liked Calla and her crazy roommate, Tori. Calla’s confusion over her feelings for both Kyan and Hunter rang true; she lusted after Kyan and had a lingering crush on Hunter from high school. She didn’t come across as slutty for dating both brothers.

I liked Kyan and Hunter a lot too. Kyan for his desire to please—damn, I wish every guy I dated had such burning devotion to pleasure! Hunter’s single focus on enjoying life and all that it brought was fun and easy to like.

There were aspects of the love triangle that I didn’t like toward the end, but overall Thrust was a satisfying read. ~ Missy, 4 stars

So, the first half of this book was like a 2 star for me and the second half was closer to a four star. I had a hard time connecting with the characters in this book and I didn’t really prefer either of Calla’s suitors. I felt like both the connection between the characters and the dialogue was forced. It didn’t flow for me and I felt like in trying to be sexy, the dialogue came off cheesy and forced. I found myself rolling my eyes at all the sexual innuendos, there were just so many of them. Thankfully, this seemed to cool off after about the half-way mark of the book.

Usually I have a good idea early on which guy I will want to “win” but that was not the case with this book, I didn’t feel particularly attached to Kyan or Hunter. Kyan definitely seemed to be the more “stable” of the two choices but he so clearly had some past trauma that was still affecting him. Kyan also had this obsession with “pleasuring” Calla, which normally is all great but it was mentioned repeatedly and seemed unrealistic to me. Hunter definitely came across as more of the “good time” boy.

Calla seemed pretty conflicted about her “casual” arrangement with these men which caused me to dislike her, if she was having doubts about the arrangements she shouldn’t have continued with them. Both Kyan and Calla had past relationship trauma’s which weren’t revealed until later on in the book, I feel like this also prevented me from empathizing with the characters. I felt like they annoyed me more than anything before I found out about what happened to them.

Onto the good. The sexy times in this book were very hot, and quite plentiful, there was definitely a lot of thrusting :) Both Hunter and Kyan knew what they were doing in the bedroom and the scenes were well written. Once we got a hint about Calla’s past relationship problems I was really interested in finding out more, I almost wished there had been a flashback scene.

This book wouldn’t prevent me from reading anything else by this author, but I would definitely be very cautious and maybe research more before picking up another of her books.

Holy mother of hotness...I need to take a cold shower after reading this book!!! 5 Smokin' Hot Stars!

When I first read the synopsis for Thrust, I was a little leery about reading it. I'm not much of a fan of love triangles. But once I dove into it, I was a goner...hooked from the first chapter. I absolutely loved how the author didn't waste time with a long and tedious storyline. The book progression was perfect!

It was very easy to relate to Calla. She's a smart, loving, and compassionate character. The quirky relationship she has with her best friend/roommate, Tori, is absolutely adorable and hilarious. Everyone should have a bestie like her! :) And the Wilder brothers...whoa, sexiness overload!! Even though they are brothers, Kyan and Hunter are completely different characters. Hunter is the younger of the two, and a general "free spirit", a very relaxed/laid-back person who lets his worries and responsibilities roll off his shoulders. But Kyan, the older, hard-working, serious brother...with a hint of mystery, is just simply hard for any woman to resist. Both brothers are sexy in their own way, and it's no wonder Calla couldn't resist either one!
The author makes you feel as if you're reading two books at once. The passion and sultriness she writes is mouthwatering. I absolutely LOVED this book, and highly recommend it to everyone. The pages sizzle with desire, lust, and love, you will have a very hard time putting this book down!

An unquestionable MUST-READ!!! But the hardest conflict is: Team Kyan? Or Team Hunter?...

Yet another outstanding book from a fantastic author. I had seen the teasers around, and knew that this had to be on my TBR.

Calla and Tori are best friends, they have worked hard to get where they are now, a nice place in a fancy building. The dynamic between the two friends is hilarious, Tori's humour is fantastic, she's the kind of friend you love and hate all at the same time, but would ever ever be apart from!

Kyan and Hunter are typical brothers, they love each other, but they hate each other's 'bad' qualities. Kyan works too hard, he's guarded, he doesn't want to let anyone in. Hunter is a man who wants to have fun, he shirks his responsibilities, but then with a workaholic brother to take care of things it's not surprising.

Chance takes a hand, and Calla ends up meeting both brothers, finding herself attracted to both, and in a situation where she gets to have both of them, sometimes within hours of each other, because with no strings attached, no one will be hurt right?

Loved this book more than I thought that I would! Loved it completely, devoured it greedily (finishing it in 3 hours, a record even for me). It's a great read, and I would recommend it highly! Thank you Ms Ashley! Another fantastic book! 5+star read!

Well I quiet enjoyed this book.

I wasn’t really sure what I was getting to be honest because well I didn’t read the blurb but I was hooked from the very start.

I really liked Calla, I didn’t really like her roommate only because I kind of felt like she is happy to coast through her life.
The roommate isn’t really happy and she if fine with that.

Calla on the other hand is open to new things sure she is hesitant but I like that she went for it.

I loved me some Kyan, yummy goodness. He really helps Calla come out of her shell.
He isn’t looking for long term and neither is she. So it works.

Enter Hunter, old high school crush who just happens to be Kyan’s brother.. Ohhh yeah things are about to go down.

I love the dynamic, I loved the little bit of drama not to much but enough. And I just all around loved this book.

I am looking forward to more by this author.

I very much enjoyed Kai and Wen’s narration they really brought these characters to life. I loved the emotion Kai can put in to her voice and make it fell more like a story you watching rather than just listening to.

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

I was so lucky to be involved with this book from when it was just a thought in Victoria's mind. She has created a book that is so much more than just two brothers and one girl. The book had me smiling, crying and by the end I truly fell in love. This book is different from the other books that Victoria has written. She continues to raise the bar from one book to the next. This is hands down my favorite book by far from her. She truly created something special. Victoria will bring you on a journey in this book. It is so well written and well told. You will feel for Kyan and Hunter as they both have there reasons for sleeping with the Calla. Whether you agree with Calla or not you will understand why she was with both brothers and you won't think any less of her. This book maybe a taboo subject but it was wildly exciting and hot! Congratulations Victoria you have created yet another masterpiece to add to the collection! I'm so excited for everyone to read it! There is only one question.... The Wilder Brothers are waiting for you! Are you ready for them?

I have two words... WILDER BROTHERS!!!! Whoa!! These guys are hot, scorching hot!!! Victoria Ashley always gives you the steamiest stories!! The idea of two brothers and one girl scared me a little. I was afraid of being constantly torn! I don't want to give up too much but I can say I LOVED the concept of this and was never anything but happy I was experiencing Hunter and KYAN!!! Read this!!!

Overall 3.5 stars
Narration 5 stars
Story 2.5-3 stars

This was a sexy and easy listen. There wasn't any heavy lifting and the story was fairly predictable, but it kept me entertained and was hot, hot, hot! The blurb might confuse readers, but it wasn't a love triangle or menage. It's 3 consenting adults (2 of which happen to be brothers) having fun and not wanting any commitments. Of course, as time passes, feelings start to get involved and it was interesting to see that all play out.

The narration really took this story to the next level and Wen Ross was absolutely delicious as Kyan. I really liked that underneath the rough alpha exterior, Kyan was a thoughtful and sweet hero, putting Calla's needs and wants above his own. Kai Kennicott was perfect as Calla, but it was her performance as Tori that really stole the show! Tori had me laughing out loud tons of times in this story and she had some of the best dialogue in the book. I enjoyed her pops of comic relief a lot. I didn't care much for Hunter, but maybe if some chapters had been in his POV, I would have felt differently. He's an unapologetic manwhore, but at least he did redeem himself a bit at the end.

If you're looking for a fun and steamy listen, you don't want to miss Thrust!

My take on the sexy Wilder boys. Are you ready? ;)

Since everyone is dying to know about the sexy boys I'll start with the girls first. HA! You thought I would do the boys first, didn't you?

I want to first say I was excited for this book, though I didn't know why. My initial reaction was probably just curiosity in how this was going to play out, because you ALWAYS have to choose in the end. I went into this blind. I had no idea how this was going to go, so I didn't know any spoilers.

I will start by saying that I absolutely loved Calla and Tori's relationship. The two insane girls made me laugh with their playful banter on several occasions. I will say that Tori is a strong character and if Victoria doesn't give me her book soon I will be ill. I absolutely fell in love with her personality and it only continued to grow. There is a definite question that lingers in the air with her and a certain hot guy but I will not reveal that major spoiler HA!

Calla is just an overall good heroine. Sure she had a bad breakup, but she didn't let it make her into a whiney, weak girl. I will tell you I probably would have kicked ass more had I been her though. That shit was messed up. Every girl has a "what if" person from the past. Some get the chance to act on it to realize what it really was and some spend forever in question. I actually loved watching this play out.

Kyan Wilder. Well I'm just going to say #showerscene hell to the yes. That boy can get freaky and I loved every bloody steamy one. I'm not even really sure how to describe his character. He was that overall "likable" guy but he could still be sexy, hot, and domineering in the bedroom. He was strong yet caring and he knew what he wanted in life as far as a career and went after it, but never let it take the place of important things. He really was the whole package when it came to a woman's "perfect male checklist"

Hunter Wilder. Holy hell there was just something about that sexy partier that said pick me. I loved that even though they were brothers they were so different. SO VERY DIFFERENT. It doesn't matter how perfect Kyan is, Hunter definitely made it hard at times to know what team you wanted to go for, but that's what I loved about it. It kept me guessing. There was never a moment that I skimmed through b/c I "knew" what was going to happen.

Victoria, this read was refreshing. It is my all time favorite read from you. It was light but sexy and had me laughing, sad, getting angry, and rooting at times throughout. I absolutely LOVED the wilder boys. Get ready for the wild ride. Which #Wilderboy will you choose? Get #Thrusted ;)

I'm going to leave you with this. It was probably my all-time favorite "take-me-back-to-high-school" type scene. There is always a love for the characters that make you feel young again ;)
