This is a fun, smexy as hell, quick read where fans of the Powertools series as well as the Hot Rods series will get to catch up with their favorites and see what the future may hold for some of them. And for those who aren’t totally caught up with either series (me included...shhhh) or haven’t started on either...we’ll you’ll end wanting to figure out a way to rearrange your TBR list so you can dive into these books.

Since I am one of those that falls in the latter category I cannot comment on the evolution of the characters or their relationships, but I can say that I love what they have going on. Is it conventional? Nope, and that’s probably why I love it so much. The sex is HOT there is no doubt about that and that opening scene is EVERYTHING, but there is so much more going on. The commitment they have to each other and how they support each other is definitely an experience.

So if you’re looking for a quick, panty destroying read for the holidays then this one is a definite must read!

This was a cute story, but really just fluff.

However, JR writes some of the best menage scenes around - she never loses track of all those limbs! Plus, how often do you get 5 guys getting it on at once? And the contest was clever. These are the most ploy-friendly people around.

Read it if you've enjoyed the series, but it won't stand by itself.

This starts off with a super sexy scene starring those on the cover, and gets better! We get to check in with the crew as a whole, with the boys as a group, with the girls as a group. Each relationship gets their moment to show us how they are doing since we last saw them. Neil, James, and Devon go Christmas tree cutting. Joe and Morgan share some early morning moments when parents can be alone. Dave and Kayla share a bit of each other, and continue the healing from Dave's accident. Mike and Kate share some late night time together, as parents find alone time, and a happy Christmas morning. Abby and Nathan are growing up, and we get a glimpse into their future.

We also get a check-in with the Hot Rods, and a peek at Hot Rides. Quinn is front and centre, turning 18 and starting his adult life.

This was the best Christmas check-in, seeing what is going on with old friends, and peeks at what the future is going to hold. A sexy, x-rated, full of emotions, check-in, with your favourite construction crew!

A quick, one-handed, holiday read that revisits favorite characters from the Powertools crew. I think this can be read as a stand-alone as it will be easy to figure out what is going on, but I think the previous installments should be read to enhance the richness of the story.

The Powertools crew are the main characters of this story as they get ready for the holidays. It's so nice to see relationships work in such a wway that makes everyone happy!! We also get a peek at the Hot Rod crew - I felt like I got a peek at who would be written about next. SO MUCH FUN!!!

More the Merrier is book #7 in the highly erotic Powertools series by bestselling author Jayne Rylon. A wonderful, exciting, and very steamy holiday story that's a definite must read! I absolutely loved getting a chance to get caught up with the Powertools crew, their amazing women, and their mini crew. Having some of the Hot Rods included was a great bonus. I would definitely love to see more of each crew, especially the mini crew after that glimpse of their future.

With so many series, you get to read the initial story of the couple, but then very rarely do you hear about them again. This is not the case with this series. With each new book, the previous couple or triad was included. They've created their own unique family out of the unconditional love that they have for each other. If you haven't read the series, I suggest that you start from the beginning. It is a highly erotic series, but also includes a strong storyline, usually with lots of emotions, in every book. You definitely won't be disappointed!

This was the first series that I read by Mrs. Rylon. Of course I was hooked immediately, and she's been one of my favorite authors since. I love how she creates stories of sexy alpha men, strong women who are more than capable of handling them, erotic sexual encounters, and that are emotionally charged with real life aspects. They'll definitely keep you coming back for more.

I strongly recommend this book, series, and exceptional author.

Original review: https://myshelfbooks.wordpress.com/20...

The first book of Powertools was my first story with an orgy. I have always pride myself about being an explorer in a library, so I picked it with an open mind. Seven books later I must admit this is not what I was expecting. Yes, those books are mostly about sex, but the characters have grown up on me quite a lot.

This time we meet the infamous crew while they are preparing for Christmas. After realizing that they haven’t partaken in groupal fun for a long time, the guys decide to get busy while their wifes are shopping. And they keep at it once they come back home… After that encunter, the book focus on the individual couples for a glimpse at their lives and more sex.

And that’s all about it. I do enjoy the sex scenes with these guys, even though sometimes I think there is no room for so many skin in some of the positions the author likes to describe. I especially appreciate the importance of respect everytime they get together. Nothing is done without the explicit consent of everyone involved. That, sadly, is usually a rara avis in the Erotica genre, so kudos for the crew!!

The crazy dynamics with the Powertools crew is what makes these books special. It’s hard to explain. The scenes of all of them together, even though there is a lot of naked time, are also a master piece of human tolerance. They are all such good friends with solid principles. They never judge and let everyone be themselves. Actually, a world with more Powertools would be a better world. Jayne Ryon has spoiled me badly. Now I’m incapable of reading a ménage book if the group doesn’t have the same rulebook as the crew of Powertools.

Even though the book is cramped with sex, there is also time for some cute and emotional moments. My favourite is by far Dave’s tattoo. His accident was a huge surprise on a previous book, because I wasn’t expecting such a crude moment in this saga. Now I’m kind of glad it happened (I’m a monster!!). The description of the tattoo has been heartwarming and that would have never happened without the car accident. The tattoo covering the scars of his leg displays the perfect summarization of what the crew members represent to each other.

No idea if Rylon is going to keep writing Powertools books, but I have already added to my TBR list the spin-off: Hot Rods. It seems they are pretty similar, so I guess I will enjoy them as well.

More the Merrier is the 7th book in the Powertools series. This book is a collaboration of all the guys, not focusing on any specific couple. I loved seeing how all the couples were doing. In a lot of books I find that they don't give you enough at the end and I'm left wanting more and this book gives you that more. The book starts off with the guys trying to do something fun and sexy for the women for Christmas and gets hot and steamy very quickly. If you like hot and steamy this will not disappoint and there is a lot of it! The characters are as fun as ever, and there are some fun surprises. he chemistry between the characters is still there and they are tighter as ever- as a crew. You also get to see the Hot Rods briefly to include Roman's little brother Quinn-- seems like there will be a younger generation spinoff of the Hot Rods coming up--which I will definitely be reading!! This was a fun read and I can't wait to see what'll come next! Hope this helps! Happy Reading!!!

5 Star Review More The Merrier: A Powertools Holiday Story by Jayne Rylon
Woo hoo, my favourite construction team are back and ready to sizzle. I love the Powertool series and it was amazing to back in their world. It really is like coming home when I read this series that I have come to love. Add in some appearances by the Hot Rods crew and what merry time was had by all.
When the Powertools guys decide to pose for a calendar for their women, things soon become far racier and naughtier than they were planning, but then it is the Powertools men so really , totally to be expected.
I love how this group of couples manage to stay together both professionally and personally. In fact they are a family, all for one and one for all and they have proven this time and again.
I loved getting a glimpse into their lives and catching up on what has been and is happening and I am hoping desperately that Jayne Rylon gives us another full length book soon.

Hot as fire!

Wow! This book started off with one of the hottest menage scenes ever! The Powertools books were the first ones I ever read by Jayne Rylon back in 2014. I am so happy she decided to write another story for the crew.

I loved that this book gave us updates on how the whole crew is doing. The only thing for me was that it's been around 3 years since I've read the Powertools books; so I wish I had read them again before reading this update. I just read way too many books to remember all of the details about names and who is partnered with who (when not having hot menage sex!). Still, it wasn't really necessary to remember all of the details to enjoy this short, but very satisfying novella.

I'm looking forward to reading more books set in this world.

An advanced copy of this book was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.

It's great to see the Powertools crew again. There were a few of the Hot Rod's as well. In traditional Powertools fashion the crew is together again, in more ways than one.... and some things come down to "a one line or two line situation!!"

It's Christmas time and the guys are trying to figure out what they should get their girl's. They start with a Christmas costume photo shoot....but the shoot went downhill in a free for all. Next Devon and her guys go to cut down a tree and discover what the base of the tree looks like hidden in the snow. The culmination is awesome...but sorry major spoiler there.

Just know that Jayne did it again with the crew!! She showed how their relationships continue to grow stronger both individually and the entire crew. Now I want to see what the Hot Rod's are doing for Christmas too.

Amount of sex 5 / 5
How explicit 5 / 5
Story 4 / 5
Overall: 4 / 5

The More the Merrier is the seventh book in the Powertools series by Jayne Rylon. To fully understand and appreciate this quick read, I highly suggest you start at the beginning of the series. I also recommend this because I love these blazing hot men and women. Trust me; you will not be disappointed!

I was so excited to hear that Ms. Rylon was writing a Powertools holiday story. I have missed these characters and quickly dropped everything to dive into this naughty tale. I read this juicy book in one sitting, and it was so blazing hot. Even my Kindle was steaming up, and I was in need of a cigarette!

I loved the special appearances of the Hot Rod men and women. A definite add to your TBR list!

This was my first Powertools book. Since I had not read any of the earlier ones, I was wondering if I would be totally lost reading this one, but I was only confused at the very beginning. It did not take long until I was settled right into this wonderful, holiday story. Hot is too tame of a word to use to describe this book. It was smoking, sizzling hot right from the beginning. This construction crew aims to please, and I am not talking about their clients. I loved the relationship between the men with each other, with their wives, and even with their children. I liked how Jayne Rylon not only showed us how they interact as a group, but also showed us the more personal stories of the individual families also. I voluntarily reviewed this advance copy, and then bought it also, along with the previous books in the series. I loved this book so much, I have to read them too.

This super sexy book is a Christmas time visit with our favorite construction crew and those who love them. Since this short story is the 7th book in the Power tool series, I would recommend starting at the beginning. It will still be a steamy read of 5 men and 4 women who have unconventional relationships and group relationships, but it makes more sense with the background stories.

The book opens with the group dynamics then moves to the triad and then three couples in the previous books. It was a nice time to catch up with each family inside their larger family. We also hear from the Hot Rods crew and see more of almost grown Quinn and the future Hot Rides series. We even get a sneak peak into the next Powertools generation. Merry Christmas is most certainly Merrier with the Crew!

I’ve been waiting impatiently for more of the fantastic Powertools series. I adore their connections and their romance and their anything goes love between all the guys and their wives. And I just wanted to have more! And hot damn did I get more in The More the Merrier.

I am thrilled that the love and the polyamorous relationships between the Powertools team hasn’t changed except that it’s gotten even stronger. I loved reconnecting Mike, Joe, Dave, James, Neil, Devon, Kate, Kayla and Morgan. It was such fun and hot AF when they all got together. *eyebrow waggle*

I also loved reconnecting with the Hot Rods and seeing the start of Hot Rides with Quinn. ~ Missy, 4 stars

5 Super Sexy Group Stars!

If you are a fan of the Powertools series by Jayne Rylon then you were definitely happy to find out she wrote a new Novella where we got to catch up with the crew! We spend time with all our favorite people and of course it is the Powertools without some very sexy shenanigans. We also get an appearance from the Hot Rods and it makes me hope this was a set up to some new books in that series in the future as well (Quinn isn’t a kid anymore! Hint! Hint!). So if you are a reader of the series run out and get this novella today, if you haven’t read it before and you like books of ménage and multiple partner relationships, start it today!

A Happy Holiday Reunion!

More the Merrier: A Power tools Holiday Story is like a present from Jayne Rylon. This book is a novella and as such is a continuation of the lives of characters in earlier books in the series. I feel you need to have read at least some of the earlier books to "get" the story.
The best part is getting to reconnect with the lives of the various lives of the members of the Power tools and some of the Hot Rods too. It is wonderful to see old friends and a couple of times I even found myself tearing up.
My greatest wish is for more about this great group of characters. Until then I will find myself rereading the earlier books in the series...again.

Our beloved characters haven't changed and it was so awesome to get another taste of them. The hot rods are still closely related and have a cameo or two as well. I'm not caught up on those, but I did just fine with their involvement. Everybody had fun, got down and dirty, and it was just so fun.

We also still get that deep emotion that pops up amongst the fun and games - beyond the individual relationships. Dave gets a tattoo and Joe gets the best Christmas present. I laughed and I cried, and I loved it every bit as much as the previous books.

More the Merrier is a great little holiday treat with my favorite loving group. It's a must read!

Not having read the prior books in this series, I feel I was at a disadvantage. There is so much history that I am missing and there are so many characters, that I found it confusing as to who was in a relationship with whom, although it appears they all have sex with each other anyway. What really stands out though, is that this group of characters are family and have a lot of love for each other. The writing is great, the sex is hot and I feel I need to start this series from book one and see what I've missed. I would recommend reading the earlier books to fully enjoy this one.

In this, we get the chance to catch up with all the characters from the Powertools series. This catch-up is not particularly meaningful unless you have read at least some of the preceding novels.

As you might expect from a Powertools novella there are some incredibly hot liaisons but nothing that we haven't come to expect from this series.

All in all, a quick romp through the lives of the nine main characters with some holiday surprises and cheer thrown in.

A quick, sexy read with well-loved characters. What more do you need?

Ho, Ho, Hot!

Jayne Rylon's Powertools crew is back! So exciting, I love these guys and girls! They're sharing warm and sexy holiday fun, but this book is way more than that. There are so many emotional moments as each couple and triad share gifts and reaffirm their individual relationships...it's both erotic heartwarming.
These are characters I've enjoyed for years and it's great to see how their lives have unfolded. I'm also happy to see Hot Rods were woven into the book.
As always, I can't wait to read more of the Powertools and Hot Rods world in the future.

Book 7 Powertools by Jayne Rylon did NOT disappoint!! Dear lord. I love these books.

This book starts of super hot right from the get go. And boy does Jayne know how to write a hot book. :)

Even with the hot scenes, there are moments of seriousness and love. The connections that all of the characters have for one another is so genuine and real. It had me hooked. I just LOVED this one.

I would definitely recommend this book to others, and would also say read the others in the series first so you can understand all of the characters and their partners. Well done!

What a wonderful holiday short in the Powertools series, I absolutely loved it. It's a great way to catch up with the gang and we also get to see some of the Hot Rod gang as well.

The guys are trying to come up with a holiday gift but shenanigans ensue and well that leads to some sexy times, and amazingly hot sexy times at that.

We are all so excited because there is what sounds like a sneak peek into the next generation, very exciting news for us fans, make sure you pick up this short story and get caught up in the series.

This was a great feel-good story that lets you catch up on where all of your favorite Powertools crews are at. It was a great glimpse to see how all of their relationships have developed over time. Jayne Rylon also carefully wove in the future of the Powertools series, but I’m not going to spoil it!

This is a quick read but doesn’t feel too short and leave you wanting for more. This felt like a great end to the original storyline.

If you're a fan of the Powertools series you won't want to miss this one. The gang is up to some holiday shenanigans. Also is you like some spice to your holiday reads then get out a fan and enjoy this one. It gets smokin' hot! Along with the heat we also get the sweet moments of seeing our favorite gang in their HEAs. I just gobbled this book right up. It's a perfect book for the holiday season. It has left me excited about the future for this gang.

Be forewarned this book is not for the faint of heart!! Oh the sexy times they are a plenty and they are hot and of every variety known to man and maybe then some! I enjoyed seeing a little snippet of what is happening in the Powertools crew's lives. I haven't read Hot Rods or the other series mentioned several times so I was a little lost with those characters but overall a fast and carefree/ drama free read!

I haven’t read the main series yet, I just fancied reading this one first! Probably better to have read the others before this one but I always like to be different! I really enjoyed this short steamy romantic read following the Powertools gang. It had plenty of steam which was expected but the emotional feels I got from the story were not expected, at all! I had tears in my eyes as the gang get ready to celebrate Christmas, wonderful story I really enjoyed it

It was great to revisit the Powertools family. Getting a glimpse at their ever growing unconventional family and seeing that despite obstacles they are still bound tightly together. It as great to also have a slight catch up with the Hot Rods. I especially like the implications for a new series of books.
