Mine
Jack Kelly. Driven. Volatile. Lonely. He grew up believing that some kinds of love are just wrong...
"No Kelly has ever been worth a damn in this town until me. But the money? I can't talk to it, I can't f*ck it, and believe me, it's a damn cold bed partner to wake up next to."
Dylan Smith. Sensual. Nurturing. Bisexual. He sees nothing wrong with enjoying the pleasures in life...
"Just let yourself go. It's okay to let me love you. To let both of us love you."
Cate MacMillan. Curvy. Smart. Frustrated. She's ready to shake off her insecurities and stop denying herself...
"No one else has ever made me feel like this. Wanton. Shameless. Free."
Three friends who grew up together...
Their childhoods were shaped by one man, their resentments fueled by two misunderstandings, and all three will be pulled back into each other's lives by a loss that affects them all. What they'll find together isn't what any of them expects... but it might be exactly what each of them needs.

Ever have one of those reads where everything clicks? You're locked in from the get go, invested in the narrative, maybe even lock yourself in the reading bunker until you've finished it?
Yeah, this wasn't one of those reads. It's mostly forgettable and at this point even I recognize my hardassness. Maybe I'm just looking for something in MMFlandia that just doesn't exist. Gawd, how depressing.
Anywhat, here goes.
Cate is a curvy girl with body issues and a mother that could rival Cruella De Vil in the caricature of an evil woman department. Cate is a sweet girl. She's supposedly shy though I never got that sense and she likes to shilly shally. 👍 But her body image issues seemed to wax and wane depending on the situation rather than being integral to her character. Anyhoo, one fine day Cate decides fuck this nonsense and hightails it to Boston from NYC away from The Momster where her deceased grandpa Sully has left her a townhouse.
To be honest, part of what led me to hit the buy link was how heavily Boston featured in the sample on Amazon. I ❤ me some Beantown! What's not to love?
or how about a classic?
Yeah, yeah. I know there are other things happening in Beantown, but none of them hold a candle to the goods I just dropped! Unfortunately... Boston faded to the background not far into this story.
Cate spent a lot of summers growing up at Sully's townhouse as did Dylan and Jack. Jack is from Southie with huge chip on his shoulder regarding his less than ideal upbringing. His family weren't supportive while he was growing up and now that he's a hot-shot lawyer they only use him for his money. Sully loved him though and gave him every opportunity. He and Cate never were close which seems to be mostly a long-standing misunderstanding coupled with shitastic communication skills.
Dylan, on the other hand, gets along with everyone. He's the mediator. He's also been holding a torch for both of them all these years.
Turns out Sully left the townhouse not just to Cate, but to all three of them. Seems the old man had a few tricks up his sleeve. The whole narrative revolves around how the issue of ownership of the townhouse will be resolved.
I think the pivotal point for me was how the authors would handle Jack's realization/acceptance of his own bisexuality. He does struggle with it up to a point, but for me the acceptance came too quickly followed quickly by the shilly shallying. Nevertheless the crossing of the swords happened less than I would've expected given the title which was disappointing but the authors did a good job of showing Dylan and Jack's connection.
Mine is a sexy read and the sex was hot, but I would caution those that may be interested that while there is a relationship between all three with feelings the sex mostly falls in the MFM zone, so the title's a wee bit misleading.
What I remember most about this read was the sweetness. There aren't a whole lot of dramatics which was nice. The dialogue has moments of corniness but overall it's a feel good story. Just not a super memorable one. I'm somewhere between 2.5-3 stars. I'll round up because I'm sweet like that.
I might read something else by these authors. After I get over being disappointed by seeming lack of MMF mojo lately.

This is a story about three thirty-something once childhood friends who lose their patriarchal father figure. When he dies, he leaves his beloved home to the three in equal shares but they must agree what to do with the home by a certain date in order to keep it. When the three finally come together to talk about the house there are old feelings & pain over their current lose, to deal with the problem as rational adults. But as time passes, the three become close again & struggle with a way to keep the house that makes all of them happy.
I very much enjoyed Chloe Lynn Ellis' Mine, it is a captivating story about lose, forgiveness, risk & love. Each of the characters is special in their own way but are brilliant together! I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

For the first time ever, it’s taken me this long time to finish a book. We’re not talking days. We’re not talking weeks. No. It’s literally taken me months. I picked this book up on the 15th of April this year, and within 36 hours I’d read 79% of the book. Then a few new releases I’d been waiting for hit the Amazon shelves and, I pushed this book to the back of my mind – I didn’t even forget about it, nope! I purposefully pushed it further and further down my reading queue. Every time I went to borrow a new book from Kindle Unlimited, I saw this in my library and thought about picking it back up, but something held me back. Until today that is. Today I went to borrow two different K.U. books, saw this one again and my own personal version of Jiminy Cricket nagged me into picking the book back up and finishing it. Which I did, 83 days after downloading it, but still I finished it (told you I suck at DNF’ing books).
After I finished it I sat down to write the review, which proves to be harder than I thought it would be. I remember the plot clearly, so that’s not my struggle. My struggle is figuring out why I had such a hard time finishing the book. I mean, if I’d really loved it I probably would have finished it about 80 days ago. So, the fact that it’s taken me so long have to mean something, right?
Reading the blurb again I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, that I didn’t love a book where one of the descriptive words for the FMC is “curvy”. The guys get words like driven, volatile, sensual and bisexual. Cate gets curvy, smart and frustrated. I mean sure, if someone asks me to describe how someone looks, I might use words like curvy. However, to describe characters to readers I don’t see how that’s a necessary word. But then again, after reading the book I can vouch that there’s no doubt that Cate is curvy. If I’d made the book a drinking game, like do a shot every time “curvy” is used, I would have to drink so much that even frat boys would have a hard time keeping up. And that’s just from the last 20% of the book.
Anyway, what the blurb doesn’t (and maybe should) mention is that Cate, Jack and Dylan didn’t actually grow up together. But what they all had in common was a special guy that helped them realise their potential, accepting themselves as well as each other. Who’s this guy? Cate’s grandpa, Sully. Sully had a knack for helping people, of all ages and all social ranks which is why it’s hard blow when he passes away. As a final act of wisdom, he leaves his house to all three of them. Jack, Cate and Dylan now each own 1/3 of Sully’s land.
Jack, comes from a family of Catholic nobodies. With the religion being drilled into him ever since he was a kid, he had a very hard time accepting Dylan’s bisexuality when they were teenagers. Which left a huge dent in their otherwise close friendship. Cate and Jack was never really close because, he assumed she like her mother was a too-good-for-anyone-else snob. In present time Jack is a successful lawyer, the first of his family to make a name for himself. Instead of being proud, his parents treat him as their own personal ATM.
Dylan is kind of the golden boy. He comes from a poor but loving home. His mother loves and supports him. So, in that way Dylan never really needed Sully for anything but help to point him in which professional direction his talents could lead him. But at the same time, Dylan did suffer when Jack pushed him away due to his sexual preference (or is it lack thereof when you swing both ways?).
Cate has a really bad relationship with her mother who’s favourite past time activity seems to be to tear her daughter down. It's mentioned over and over that Cate is shy and therefore, can't stick up for herself and instead let her mother use her as her own personal boxing bag. The lack of friendship between Cate and Jack when they were teenagers, is mostly down to zero communication and their individual lack of self esteem. Cate thought that Jack was too hot for her, which I do get. I mean when your mother calls you fat all the time, it must be hard to believe anyone could find you attractive.
So, when all three of them learn that Sully left them his house, Cate and Dylan moves in and while Jack stays in his apartment, all three of them starts to mend the fences that were broken all those years ago.
What I disliked the most is that Cate's supposed shyness seems to be situational, as in when it fits the plot - or involves mother dearest, she's shy. Personally, I would say what weak would have described it better, but whatever. Because when it comes to sexy times, or putting herself out there to get a new career going, she's not shy at all. Which doesn't really make much sense.
The second thing is the MMF, that is a wee bit misleading. MFM would have been a better description, considering that there's hardly any sword crossing going on, if ya know what I mean *wink wink nudge nudge*

5+ smashing stars
Oh. My. God!!! I couldn't understand why the writing style felt so familiar nor why i was being drawn into the story like a moth to a flame until a few seconds of research showed me that Chloe Lynn Ellis' debut novel, His, read a few months ago, was among some f my favorite novels of 2016. Honestly, this author duo is among one of my favorites when it comes to menage genres and boy, Mind was even better!
4.5 sexy dreams
This story had it all - emotions, drama, humor and so much chemistry that i wondered how in the world my kindle is not burning up! The way that the story was penned, i felt everything that was going on as though i was in the story myself as one of the characters. I went through this book in a few hours, deciding to forgo on sleep and it was totally worth it too! Am i looking forward to more from this author duo? Oh, absolutely without a doubt and impatiently as well!

I haven’t read many MMF romance books but I’m starting to enjoy them.
I felt like this was a cute romance. But one thing I thought though was that sometimes these characters acted like teenagers and not grown adults. I just thought some of the convos or actions done were “childish” in a way. But this is just what I thought at least.
Overall I thought it wasn’t bad writing at all. It was well balanced with the romance and the story I believe, and the plot itself was written well.
Was it the best ménage reading?? Probably not the BEST I’ve read, but still enjoyable.
4.3 star rating.

Oh my... this book was everything I was looking for. The sex was HOT. Cate, Dylan and Jack were so good together and the MM action was yummy. I love multiple POVs, the building up of the relationship and then the happily ever afters. This book was all of that for me.
November 5, 2017
Never read anything from this author before, but I can dig the author writing style and she's a pretty good story teller at best.
I did enjoy the heroes and the heroine of this book. God Jack could be stubborn and negative at times but he does love deeply. Dylan, I did love this character the most. He was loving and has patience of a saint. And last but certainly not least we have Cate; quiet and insecure that she allows herself to become a door mat for her mother's abuse. But with theses guys in her life she does over come her insecurities.
I just love how the 3 of them came back together after their mentor pass away and they had to rebuild their relationship again. Even though they went through trails and tribulations to build that relationship they had when they were kids, they persevered through it all and became stronger for it. Their relationship and bond became stronger and loving, filled with trust and compassion.
Oh boy don't let me start on the sex.. I think that's what I like about this book the most. Author Chloe Ellis did know her stuff when it came to the sex scenes. They were damn hot!!! Just for the sex scenes alone earn her points in my overall rating.
Now this book did have some short coming but I wont dwell on the negatives too much. It was just slow in some spots, and Jack's self loathing and stubbornness got on my damn nerves a bit.
Other then that this turn out to be a good read.
Overall Rating: 3.9

I really struggled with rating this book. Ellis is talented and the book is well-written as far as flow. She's also quite descriptive, especially when it comes to Boston and its many attributes. The story revolves around Jack, Dylan, and Cate, and of the three, Dylan was the most likable. Jack was a jerk through most of the story and Cate was okay, but I found little to set her apart from any female lead in any romance. However, the characters weren't my real problem with this one. The book is lengthy - over 100k word count lengthy. That, in itself, wouldn't bother me as long as there is something to keep the story moving along. Sadly, that wasn't the case. Much like Cate, I didn't find anything to set this story apart from any other menage romance. The characters bicker over the same issue and then things get steamy, over and over. I have no problem with steamy times, but sex just for the sake of another sex scene isn't beneficial to the story. The story began to drag on and in my opinion, it could've easily been cut in half and it would've been a much more entertaining read. As it stands, I began to lose interest at about the 50% mark with the same issues being discussed in triplicate with the first person multi POV, and while the characters do get their happily ever after, I felt little connection to any of them.

What defines a family? Is it just blood and genetics? Or is it defined by trust, friendship and love? Cate, Jack and Dylan have known each other for years but have not seen each other in a while. The death of Cate's Grandpa Sully will reunite the three. Grandpa Sully and his townhouse meant something to all three. When he leaves the townhouse to all three in his will, they must decide what to do. Do they sell or save the only home they ever knew? Will they discover along the way what "family" means to them? Great story! Cate and Jack both had issues they had to resolve. Luckily Dylan was there to be the "anchor" and peacemaker. My only issue is that Cate's mother(the royal B**ch) didn't get taken down a few more pegs.

Jack, Cate and Dylan are so cute together. I really liked the dynamic that flowed between them once they let their guards down and embraced what could be. I hated Jack at times, but I was really able to understand where he was coming from. Not a lot of drama. Dylan and Cate were really laid back and toon it all in stride. It was a really cute steamy read and I would totally read more from this author. 4 Stars #2OCCJD

I loved it! The characters are great. Cate moves to Boston after the death of her grandfather, thinking he left her his house, she didn’t realize she had to share. Plenty of drama and so emotional with plenty of steam.

Polyamory is ideal to me. So I appreciate when romance writers go there with a degree of tact, cohesiveness, and believable emotion.
Some of Ellis's writing was purple prose-y; I found myself saying, Who talks like that? Is it a rich white people thing?
I didn't like that Dylan and Jack, however new everything was for Jack, didn't get to be intimate alone the first time without Cate walking in on it. After all, Cate and Dylan had sex the first time without Jack there.
Dylan is portrayed as the centerpiece that holds the threesome together, this endless well of positivity and love that comes from a good, loving upbringing. There is always a character like him in a polyamorous relationship. But I find it a little bit more believable, on the page and off the page, to be around people who have a little darkness inflicted on their hearts by the world, who don't have perfect lives. Perhaps writers who make Ellis's choice in portraying Dylan this way believe it brings balance.
Which leads me into the next rub about Mine: The majority of the romance books I've read are centered around wealthy or super rich white characters and written by privileged white writers. With that being a fact, Ellis makes the same mistake a lot of overly privileged white writers make with their lack of imagination: She portrays Jack, who is the poorest in terms of financial background and wealth of family, as a jerk with a huge chip on his shoulder. Jack has reasons for struggling to his emotions, thanks to his parents, which was realistic to me, but portraying him as hating rich people and being jealous because he was poor was a huge and unfortunately common mistake. Whenever I read books about characters who grow up seriously> financially disadvantaged, like myself, the character is almost always portrayed as bitter towards wealthier people, even violently so. That is how wealthy people view poor people, any criticism we have against their wealth is chalked up to us being haters, being petty or jealous. Additionally, Jack sells out, spending much of his adult life acting like getting more money and having expensive things will fix the scars of his past or even the facts of classism.
Overall, I appreciated the book. I identified with Cate's struggles with her mother on the surface. Though Jack is likely still class privileged in some ways, I even identified with his struggles.

Cate, Jack & Dillon have a history thanks to Cate's grandfather. It's a good history between Cate & Dillon but an unhappy one with Jack & them. The grandfather dies and leaves the 3 of them his townhouse (worth a fortune). Dillon is already living in the house, unbeknownst to Cate. Cate has finally had enough of her controlling mother & resigns from the family business, leaves the family apartment in NYC and moves to Boston to live in what she thought was a townhouse she alone inherited. Jack has his own place & hasn't spoke to either Dillon or Cate in years.
Dillon and Cate reconnect immediately. Dillon is a sweet, gentle guy who is finishing chef school thanks to Cate's grandfather. He's delighted to have Cate back in his life & would be happy to have Jack back as well. He wants them all to share the townhouse. He wants Cate in his bed and she gets there fairly quickly but chooses not to pursue it.
But Jack is an asshole too lost in his own head and still hanging on to the closed minded upbringing he had, plus the idea that people hate him because of his 'southie' background. He has always thought of Cate as a spoiled brat who looked down on him & Dillon. He was friends with Dillon as kids until he saw Dillon kissing another boy then he cut him off (both because gay is wrong and because how dare he kiss someone else). He wants to sell the townhouse & be done with it all.
Cate is shy and oppressed by her mother. She didn't look down on Jack, she was just shy and then he was an ass so she went with hate. One of their arguments led to making out, which Dillon see and approves of. A few days later they invite Jack over to have dinner & talk about the townhouse situation. This leads to sex.
There is so much angst in this book. I'm pretty sure they will never be allowed back to a certain steakhouse after Jack looses his shit there on 2 separate occasions. Jack is most of the angst, both having it himself and causing it in others. But there are issues with the inheritance as well and Cate's mom is a bitch on wheels.
It was a really good story. I enjoyed it very much.
Dillon and Cate reconnect immediately. Dillon is a sweet, gentle guy who is finishing chef school thanks to Cate's grandfather. He's delighted to have Cate back in his life & would be happy to have Jack back as well. He wants them all to share the townhouse. He wants Cate in his bed and she gets there fairly quickly but chooses not to pursue it.
But Jack is an asshole too lost in his own head and still hanging on to the closed minded upbringing he had, plus the idea that people hate him because of his 'southie' background. He has always thought of Cate as a spoiled brat who looked down on him & Dillon. He was friends with Dillon as kids until he saw Dillon kissing another boy then he cut him off (both because gay is wrong and because how dare he kiss someone else). He wants to sell the townhouse & be done with it all.
Cate is shy and oppressed by her mother. She didn't look down on Jack, she was just shy and then he was an ass so she went with hate. One of their arguments led to making out, which Dillon see and approves of. A few days later they invite Jack over to have dinner & talk about the townhouse situation. This leads to sex.
There is so much angst in this book. I'm pretty sure they will never be allowed back to a certain steakhouse after Jack looses his shit there on 2 separate occasions. Jack is most of the angst, both having it himself and causing it in others. But there are issues with the inheritance as well and Cate's mom is a bitch on wheels.
It was a really good story. I enjoyed it very much.

Loved It
Jack Kelly is one of my all-time favorite characters. I think he's the reason for all of the stars. I guess I'd describe Jack as a "typical man"...a manly man...pulled himself up out of the gutter that was his family...wealthy and successful...a ladies' man...broken way more than anyone knows, even Jack.
Dylan Smith was Jack's childhood best friend. Even as a teenager, Dylan was comfortable with who he was...even if other people weren't. He'd always liked girls, but realized early on that he liked guys, too. One day, Jack sees Dylan kissing a guy and he rails at him with all the homophobia he was raised with, effectively ending their friendship.
But methinks he doth protest too much.
Then, there's Caitlin MacMillan. The granddaughter of Hendricks "Sully" Sullivan, daughter of Julianne MacMillan. Successful interior designer. Doormat for her mother to stomp and wipe her feet on. Her summers spent with her grandfather as a kid were the only times of peace, joy and love she ever knew.
Even though her summers with Sully were shared with Sully's two young protegés...Jack (who mistook Cate's shyness for snobbery) and Dylan (young chef in the making and referee between Cate and Jack).
Sully's death brings the three of them together again with some pretty explosive results. Old wounds are reopened and hidden desires are revealed.
Watching Jack deal with his feelings (feelings toward his family, Cate and Dylan, losing Sully...even toward himself) was awesome. I love the broken ones and Jack Kelly is so beautifully broken.
There's only one thing I would change--We only get one hot scene with Jack and Dylan, and Jack is on the receiving end. I would've liked to see more of them together, especially with Jack, fighting his "this is wrong"/homophobic thoughts, doing the giving.
OK, I lied...two things. I would've also liked to actually see some interaction between Jack and his family. I would've especially liked to see the fallout regarding his new triad relationship, since they were the ones who put all of those hateful thoughts in Jack's head.
Very well-written with nicely built characters.

*I was gifted this ARC and freely give my review of it*
When her grandfather leaves his townhouse to Cate she quits her job in New York and move to Boston. What she don't know, is that she has to share it with two other people and not just any two...... soooo.......things get complicated.
I absolutely love this story, it was so filled with emotions and I laughed, cried and felt very satisfied when I finished it. What surprised me most about this story was that it wasn't only about their interactions in the bedroom but very much outside of it too. Why haven't I read something from this author before?
The characters are well described with lots of feelings so I feel like I get to know them very well, with warts and all.
Cate's insecurities is heartbreaking, and I love how the men helps build up her inner strength to show for the world. Jack have some similar issues but he don't trust anyone to want to be with him and haven't lost that feeling of always being used.
No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings and lots of dialogues also helps the happy feelings after reading this book.
The writing style is easygoing and there's no sentences that don't make sense.
I loved the interaction between the characters, Dylan is the calming person helping to soothe and connect Cate and Jack so they can all be together. He helps them understand that it's nothing wrong with the three of them being together. Love is love ❤️ in any form or way as long as it's consensual.

This is an exceptional story. The characters are so amazing, I could feel how they each felt during the whole story. Dylan, Jack, and Cate all have had a rough past and have been brought together by Sully. The man who changed all their lives. Cate has a horrible mother that doesn't understand her, and wants to to be perfect, which she isn't and never wants to be. Sully was her grandfather and showed her how life should be. How people should be treated. She grew up with Jack and Dylan over the summers at Sully's house. By the time they were teens, none of them kept in touch any longer. When they all come together to make the decision of what would happen to Sully's home, they realize feelings that they've never admitted are actually a mutual thing between them all. After a lot of issues, they finally find themselves happy with being together as a unit instead of separate. Only problem is, the house has to be put into one persons name, it cannot be shared. If they can't determine who it will belong to in a certain amount of time, it must be sold. Will it tear their new family apart? Will they lose the family home they've built together? That's the thoughts as the date looms closer.
This is a definite must read that I'm recommending to everyone. I'm voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.

A very steamy but sweet romance read. Three young Bostonians are brought back together as a result of the death of their mentor, Sully. While, they grew up spending time together, they have grown apart over the years due to their own personal baggage and misconceptions of each other. Cate has been bullied by her society grand-dame mother for her entire life to try to fit her mother's expectations for a proper young woman. As a result, her self-esteem is low and she misinterprets her interactions with others to convince herself that she has little value. Jack is an angry man, as a result of his impoverished beginnings and the ongoing pressure from his family to support them in their addictions and poor decisions. He, too, doesn't understand his worth. Dylan is the saving grace to the trio, as he is truly comfortable in his own skin - easy-going but strong of will. As the three decide what to do with their shared legacy from Sully, Dylan works to bring the two most important people in his life back together. The evolution of the relationship rings true, as does each character's development. I'm not usually a fan of MMF fiction, but this sweet romance was a pleasure to lose myself in.

I read this book as part of an arc program. I really enjoyed this story about three childhood friends and the love they share. When Cate's grandfather Sully dies, he leaves his home to Cate, Dylan and Jack. Dylan was the son of Sully's cook and grew up in the house, and still lived there while attending culinary school. Jack was a kid from the wrong side of town who Sully took under his wing and mentored, helping him become a successful lawyer. Cate was living in New York working for her controlling mother and was very unhappy. When she learns her mother started the process to sell Sully's house without her consent, she packs up and goes to the house in Boston, unaware the house was left to all three of them. Cate and Jack have always had a misunderstanding between them leading them to think the other one always hated them and Dylan and Jack were best friends until Jack saw Dylan kissing a man and because of his catholic upbringing, Jack broke off contact with Dylan. This was a good story about three friends that realize family and loving one another is the most important thing. I loved how Dylan helped both Jack and Cate through their journey and finding their true selves. This was well written and had steamy scenes that also focused on love. Great one!

I'm voluntarily reviewing an ARC which I received from the author and the opinion expressed is strictly mine: this is a beautiful, remarkable book! Mine is an engrossing, inspiring story of three childhood friends who reunite as adults after the death of Sully, their mentor/benefactor/grandfather. Each comes from a background of lack - lack of economic resources, lack of appropriate parental role models, lack of parental love - the sort of toxic early influences that scar the soul and harden the heart. Sully's bequest to them is the catalyst for the healing and personal growth that takes them from angry estrangement, through insta-lust, and on to a true and lasting adult love. THere's enough heat in the menage scenes to melt your e-reader, but the real fire in this fabulously character-driven story is the slowly-spreading warmth of genuine love from within: the source of both self-acceptance and love for others. I've read Chloe Lynn Ellis before, and the excellent writing just keeps getting better. Featuring flawless editing, great dramatic tension, and exquisitely detailed characterization, Mine is a menage romance treasure.

Jack- brooding, kid from poverty, turned successful lawyer with a chip on his shoulder.
Dylan- full of love, nurturing, got his shit together, fully out of the closet, loves to cook, graduating as a chef.
Cate- raised by a bitter, narcissist, horrible mother that spews hatred, talented designer, newly out of her shell going after what makes her happy-finally-
These three grew up together but had hangups that took the one man they all love passing before they recognize what each means to the other, and their threesome was born.
What I love about a well played out, romantic mmf triad or any triad is you’ve really gotta learn love, trust. And the mechanics-of lust. There’s always self acceptance, testing boundaries, and coming out. Sometimes it’s also getting past bigotry too. This is where the self development really shows and you feel connected with the characters trials, cause opening yourself up is scary, rewarding and full of growth.
These types of books also are freeing to read as they’re non judgmental. It gives you great insight into the lgbtq world, whether you identify there or are straight.
Enjoyed reading this, hot, steamy, full of emotions.

Excellent!
I loved this. I’m a sucker for a friends-to-lovers story, and when it’s not only one but TWO hot guys… Yes, please. I’m not going into the plot, as I’m sure others already have. It’s a story about misunderstood childhoods, oppressive relatives, and finding your own way.
Cate looses her grandfather and reunites with the boys she grew up with during summers at his home. But she obeys her upbringing and returns to her mother-run life. After the proverbial last-straw, she returns to the home she loves and runs into the men those boys became. And they are hot! Jack and Cate get off on the wrong foot and they can’t seem to find the right one. Dylan sails into the picture as calm as ever and plays three-way matchmaker. The trip is difficult for all three, with Jack fighting feelings that war with his upbringing, Cate trying to overcome her self-worth issues, and Dylan stuck in the middle, but loving both of them.
The story is well-written, the characters are developed, and I found no discernible problems. The ending is worth the feels.

First off, this is definitely worth a read even if you don’t usually read ménage; I don’t often myself, but am very glad I chose to read this one. It is a beautiful love story that is tender, romantic, and yes, hot. The connection between these three is deep and you can feel the love between them (with the exception of one couple, but they get there), even after they haven’t seen each other in years. The writing was excellent and the characters were well-developed. I loved how different each personality was; it really gave balance to the triad.
The resolution at the end that wrapped up one of the main issues they had was very surprising to me. I didn’t see that coming, never even thought of it as an option. It’s always nice to be surprised in a genre that often has some very typical endings.

Three people brought together by one man. Growing up Cate and Jack misunderstood each other, while Dylan was forced to play middle man. Brought together by one man, attraction blooms between all three, but Jack is harder to convince. Will Jack overcome his upbringing and accept his love for Dylan and Cate? Will the men be able to help Cate realize that she isn't what her mother has always said?
This was the first book by this author that I have read and I will be reading more! Loved that this wasn't just a steamy read. Every person in it had their own back story and were all brought together by one man. I loved reading Cate come into her own. Dylan was a complete sweetheart, but showed a dominate side. Jack showed the most improvement and him overcoming his upbringing was excellent! Cannot wait to read more from this author!

I was not sure what to expect when I started this book but I found it to be more than I thought. Three childhood friends struggling with the loss of a mentor and struggles in their personal lives. Jack and Cate so much alike but they don't realize it. They are in the shadows of their families and trying to find their own identities. Dylan is the most sure of himself but wants both of them in his life but not sure how to make that happen. But slowly they find themselves and each other. The struggles Jack has with his fear of loss, wanting a family but fearing he can't have it and his sexuality is gut wrenching. Cate gains confidence and courage around these men and can finally release the pain and torture her mother has set on her and be her own woman. It was more than a romance...they find themselves and each other as well as what family, love and loyalty really mean.

Three and half stars. For a self-published MMF this is quite decent. The authors (Choloe Lynn Ellis is a pen name for a writing duo) did a good job of separating the voices of the three first-person narrators and laying out a coherent plot. Initially, I was quite impressed with how thoroughly the narrative delved into the head space of each of the three protagonists, but unfortunately things got stalled as the same concern were repeatedly aired. Too much of the book is filled with rehashing things rather than providing new insight into the characters' history or developing their relationships. I also got really tired of the details of Sully's will being teased until near the end of the story and ended up disappointed with how lame it was.
Writing a good menage romance is always a heavy lift because there are four relationships to service. The authors did a good job with showing the connection each of the trio had with the other two as well as how they related as a threesome. I didn't buy the HAE, which was rushed, but that's kind of par for the course. In particular, Jack the most reluctant of the three's evolution from homophobe to adjusted bisexual happened way too fast. Cate was fairly sympathetic, especially with her cartoon Cruella De Vil mom. Dylan was a bit of mystery, as he was the nicest of the bunch and yet was the only one with no romantic past. Also, his cooking was unintentionally humorous. He is training to be a chef and his idea of a gourmet food is sausage that he purchased "fresh" from the market (he doesn't even make his own) with fried eggs and crock pot stew.

3.75 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 🌟
It was great however I really felt as though Cate was a third wheel instead of a part of a functioning tricycle. Jack and Dylan’s love was so beautiful I wanted to explore that way more than it did. Their love was beautiful and it was a true connection. And Cate and Dylan’s also felt real but between Jack and Cate it felt more like lust and not as powerful as Jack and Dylan’s. I thought the individual parings of Jack and Dylan, Cate and Dylan had some hot asf moments, and one in particular between the three but I really didn’t feel as if this was a true throuple where they are all in love with each other. It felt as though Dylan was the only one that truly felt connections with them individually and together because he loves them both but Jack and Cate merely felt lustful and a bit forced in the actual love connection front.

This is the best MMF menage I have read for quite a while.
The shared history between the three protagonists gives the book an emotional depth that is often missing in menage stories. Yes, there are lots of steamy scenes, but all are emotion led, and are not just "sex for the sake of sex".
Jack does come off as a jerk at times, Cate finally finds her backbone at age 24, and Dylan is just..Dylan, a wonderful, caring man.
Behind all this are the questions..what's in a name, why can't we choose our own family, and indeed, what is family?
The journey to resolving these questions is emotional, and at times frustrating, but they are resolved.

Mine by Chloe Lynn Ellis
This is Jack Kelly, Cate MacMillan, and Dylan Smith's story.
Wow! The author did an amazing job. I devoured this book. This is so much more than a menage romance. The characters are so well developed. There is actually a story. I loved how they each fulfilled a need in each other. Oh, don't get me wrong here. It's an amazing and hot as heck romance between these three.
Even if you are not into menage you might want to give this book a try. To me the story is just worth it. It's hard to describe but I could feel all the different emotions that each character experienced. At times my heart just hurt for them and other times rejoiced with them. FYI, contains mature content. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This book is a unicorn
This book was amazing. It was a well written, hot, emotional romance novel. With a mmf relationship. And it wasn't just cheap, over the top porn.
There are so very few good romances featuring a triad, that i will read pretty much anything, and the quality is never there. But this was just as good as any standard m/f romance and I am so very thrilled that it exists.
Honestly the only complaint i had was that they had sex a little too quickly. I would have loved to see a bit more build up.
That being said, it didnt take away from how much I enjoyed it. I really hope you decide to write more in this category. I would love to read a slow burn or a rom-com.... or any other ideas you have. Kudos and thank you so much for writing this!
