[Siren Sensations: Erotic Consensual BDSM Menage a Trois Romance, M/M/F, voyeurism, sex toys, HEA] Brooke is a wounded vet who took over her father's classic car repair business when tragedy forced his early retirement. She's great at her job. But fixing herself? Not so much. She's shut herself off from life as a form of penance and a survival mechanism, until her friend Eliza decides Brooke needs a night out. Cody and Justin are lovers and partners. They're Doms, but not to each other. They've also fallen into a relationship rut. When Eliza introduces them to Brooke, they discover they have more than classic cars and The Walking Dead in common. Brooke knows life is meant for the living, but in many ways she feels she's forgotten how. As she grows closer to the men, she realizes maybe it's time to try something different and look for happiness somewhere other than TV shows and her cat. And that, maybe, it's time to let the hunky Doms show her how they want to love her. ** A Siren Erotic Romance

[BookAddict ✒ La Crimson Femme · Rating 3 out of 5]

Girls who love fast cars also love fast men, right? Not for Brooke who is just making it through life, one day at a time. She took over her father's classic car repair business and loves what she does. She's focused on keeping his business going and visiting her father during her free time. The most interaction she receives is when she talks to her cat and expects him to answer her. Is this the beginning of being crazy cat lady?

Fortunately for Brooke, her good friend Eliza forces her out for dinner. During dinner, she meets Cody and Justin. Brooke is well aware Eliza is into that freaky kinky stuff. She's also hoping these two cool guys, Cody and Justin, are not. Not that there is anything wrong with people liking to be tied up and beaten; she just doesn't want to have anything to do with it.

This story shows a good perspective of a person who isn't into kink yet is introduced and starts to see it isn't quite that disturbing or perverse. In fact, kink can be fun, even it if comes in a threesome instead of one-on-one. The story takes delightful steps towards kink and then understandable backward steps. This makes it more relatable for those who aren't exactly opposed to kink and yet aren't ready to take the plunge.

Once again, it's the characters who make this story good. Brooke considers herself a broken arrow. My heart breaks for her as she is surviving the trauma she's experienced in warfare. Not only does she carry external scars, but scars internally which will take time to heal. Cody and Justin's open mindedness and understanding really help open Brooke's eyes to life again. The chemistry between the three is steady and purrs like one of Brooke's restored cars. The character development is smooth and easily pulls a reader in.

Ms. Dalton's strength is creating memorable characters who are all individuals. Some of the characters are more charismatic than others. What they all have in common--a relatable background. These stories may not be targeted to change people's minds, but they do. She is great at showing how on the surface, a situation may be misjudged easily. When the time is taken to listen and communicate, the full story is much more complicated and may change a person's perception. This is one of the reasons why I love reading her books.

There is good BDSM in this book as to be expected by Ms. Dalton. In this one, it is softer subtler thread because it isn't the focal point for the story. As a minor supporting role, the BDSM is still quite appealing. Many female submissive fantasize about two dominants co-topping them. With caring, erotic Cody and Justin taking Brooke in hand, be ready for a sweet ride. Recommended for ménage lovers who enjoy a mmf Kinky romance.

Okay MMF menage romance read with BDSM.
Things I liked:
- author knows her BDSM and vintage cars and PTSD stuff!
- I liked that the h while not kinky was understanding of the Hs' needs enough to let them have playpartners (men and women) outside their relationship
- the epilogue with the marriage/ baby was super-sweet:)

Things that I didn't like:
- we get the H's POV and its clear what they're doing with the h, they've done many times with other women, like when they say how this move or that "always mind-blowing" with any woman. The reader gets the strong feeling the h wasn't offering anything unique to them sexually.
- Also since the h isn't submissive and doesn't satisfy the Dom H's that way, they have to be with other playpartners(no sex!) to get their rocks off. The H's are also okay if h wants to play with other people....! While the h wasn't possessive and was understanding enough, I just didn't get the point of this poly relationship with 3 people if their all needs weren't being met. Like how many people do you need??!! In a way this not a closed menage romance but a kinky menage which is a slightly open relationship in some ways.
- It might have helped if I felt their connection. The h/Hs' all seemed like people who had common interests, friends and had some affection. I just didn't see the "romantic" or love connection!

-the 2 H's seemed to have a more intense connection than with the h, the menage was unequal. The guys always knew they were a couple and could take or leave a woman. It felt like the h was a placeholder - there were others before her and maybe others after her but the two men were solid.

An overall 3.5 stars.

This was another good read by Tymber. Brooke is a wounded vet who took over her father's classic car repair business when tragedy forced his early retirement. Cody and Justin are lovers and partners. They're Dom's, but not to each other. They've also fallen into a relationship rut. When Eliza introduces them to Brooke, they discover they have more than classic cars and The Walking Dead in common. This was a good book I liked all of the character's in this book Brooke who was self conscious of her body because she has scares from being wounded. This book was well written like the others in this series. I would have liked to learn more about the guys background but overall this was a good read. The book was well written like the rest of the books in this series with no errors in spelling or grammar. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Brooke, Cody, and Justin - They guys are trying to get out of a rut of all work and no play. Brooke's friends think she needs to get out more and enjoy life. But a simple decision as to which car to bring to dinner is the opening needed to get these three to start talking and from there they just hit it off. I love Brooke's dad whose biggest concern is for his daughter's happiness. What a sweet group.

A bit more serious than some in the series but just as powerful. PTSD can be very controlling and effect daily living. While it never goes away Brooke is finally able to capture some control over it with help from Cody and Justin. Having someone or someones there to hold you up makes it easier to handle.
A nice salute to those that serve and sacrifice for the rest of us.

This was another good read by Tymber. A bit more serious than some in the series but just as powerful. PTSD can be very controlling and effect daily living. I can’t seem to ever find enough words to express how these books make me feel. As I have continued to read more and more about the BDSM lifestyle I have become more curious with every book wanting to learn more.

[Erin Kyle · Rating 3 out of 5]

All of the other Tymber Dalton books I’ve read have been great! This wasn’t a *bad* or even disappointing book, but it felt pretty rushed. That’s my overall take-away from it. Good but not as great as it could have been, due to what feels like a rushed storyline.

[Robin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another great story from Tymber. Eliza is on a roll with the matchmaking that's for sure, it's cool how everything works out in the end (thank goodness for writers that write with HEA). Good manners and respect all the way around, what's not to love.

Thanks again Tymber.

Author seems to have the SCA and renfair circuits confused.... nice bit of fluff otherwise

[SandyL · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was another great story in the Suncoast Society series! I loved Cody and Justin! Brooke Wallace gets dragged out to dinner by her friend Eliza, where she meets Cody and Justin. Brooke has just been existing since she was injured in Iraq - so much happened, with her injuries, then her mom dying in a car accident and her dad suffering injuries and then a stroke. She has taken over his classic car garage and works a lot, the rest of the time watching TV and talking to her cat. Cody and Justin are a gay couple, both Doms, who like to add a female to the mix sometimes. They both work in construction and have been working a lot, and have found themselves in a rut. When they show up at dinner in their classic Ranchero they have an immediate rapport with Brooke, and things take off from there. It's nice to have an easy, relatively drama-free read once in awhile, and that's what this is. There are some sexy scenes, but the book isn't very long so not much time to get into things. But I was still able to get a good picture of the characters, like them and enjoy their story.

Brooke Wallace was an Afghanistan war vet. She had some damage both physically and mentally. She inherited and worked her dad's automotive repair business and she loved cars. Justin and Cody were lovers, dominants to others in the club scenes but were in a rut in their relationship. They both worked for a construction company that several of the Suncoast Society men worked for as well doing plumbing and electrical work. The three were introduced by mutual friends when they met in a restaurant parking lot after Brooke noticed their Ford Fairlane. It turned out that they had more in common than a love for vintage cars and The Walking Dead. The story was sweet and kinky. It was very light on the kink until closer to the end when we got to a double penetration scene. There was some good drama and lighthearted moments. This was a quick read. It was just what I needed between reading two big books.

I hate to admit this, but I have to file this book as a DNF.
I loved the first 10-ish books of the Suncoast series. The next bunch were good, but starting to lose their 'wow' factor. At this point, I don't feel any connection to the characters introduced, I'm tired of every book being a menage, and I want more! I've looked ahead at the blurbs for the rest of the books in the series, and not one of them excited me :( That's okay though - how many other series' of books can you read more than 20 installments of before finally becoming exhausted?

[Kelly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved every word.

Brooke can teach us a lot about the hardships and healing our soldiers go through. I'm glad this was so realistic and she didn't just jump into being a pain lover. Enjoyed the men and how sweet they were. This whole book was just enjoyable and I know I'll read it again.

Great Read

Justin and Cody are just what Brooke needed to get over her slump, and to help with her PTSD and other problems from an IED explosion, and to help with her Dad when he falls, true love really comes through for all three.

I'd give broken arrow 10

[Mary · Rating 5 out of 5]

I like how Eliza slowly worked Brooke into the Suncoast Society community by referring members when she needed their skills. The way Eliza reacted when Brooke finally figured it out was priceless.

[Autumn Iriarte · Rating 5 out of 5]

Even though this is listed as a fictional story, I would like to think that people who have PTSD as Brooke did, can have people in their lives bringing healing and happiness.
