Devil's Playground #2
Without Restraint
Micah Fontenot can’t seem to find what he’s looking for. Not everything anyway. He’s living the dream, working alongside his twin brother, managing Devil’s Playground, one of the hottest clubs in all of Las Vegas. He’s even got a full-time lover in his bed, yet still, something is missing.
Hayden Wellington wants the best of both worlds. He understands Micah on levels even Micah doesn’t. Now that he has half of what he needs, Hayden’s just biding his time until everything falls into place.
Lindy Weatherford refuses to be the hum-drum friend who doesn’t have a story to tell. Unfortunately, that’s what she’s become. When her friends stand her up at Devil’s Playground, Lindy finds herself smack in the middle of a story she’s not sure she can explain.
What happens when passions collide? Will one night be enough? Or will the three of them give in … without restraint?

4 Holy HOT Stars
Ahh I am a sucker for a menage by Nicole, she sucks you into her world like no other author can.
What I loved about this book that we already had a base, meaning we already had 2 lovers Micah and Hayden. They love each other but know there is something missing for both of them and they are open and honest about it.
I just really enjoyed that dynamic to this relationship, and they weren’t really seeking for Lindy but she comes along and it is like fate knows they all needed each other.
Short stories can be hard because you want the detail but there usually isn’t enough time, but I have to say I didn’t feel like anything was rushed or that we didn’t have enough detail about any of the characters or what they wanted.
There wasn’t any unnecessary dramalama either you're just free to enjoy a really hot and steamy story about finding love and passion just in an unconventional way.
Ahhh the narration, Charley has grown on me! I used to like her but from afar; I still find her s’s to be sharp but not nearly as they once were. I like that you can feel the characters emotion through her tone. :) It made me connect with Lindy and see her as a woman who needs these guys to see her.
Tor and his voice... I swear everyone needs to listen to his voice it is that deep sexy kind of voice you want your book boyfriend to have. He gets to be both Micah and Hayden… HELLS YES! Fans self.
*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

Narrator Review:
Tor Thom and Charley Ongel are new narrators for me and I give them two thumbs up! Both have very sexy voices and for a story line that is mostly about a fantasy scene, they were exactly what was needed for this audible book. I recommend!
Story Review:
As I mentioned above, this was a pretty short book that is for those who love a good fantasy scene between a m/m/f. You get the shy accountant in Lindy and the not so shy Micah and Hayden.
Micah and Hayden work at the Devil's Playground club and have had a casual relationship for a while but both feel like they are missing something. That something is Lindy who they meet at the club.
Lindy was supposed to meet up with friends at the club but none of them showed up. They have been teasing her relentlessly about being one step away from being a cat lady. When Micah approaches her, she's ready to let go and live a little. She wasn't expecting for Hayden to join in as well but that won't stop her from letting go.
Their encounter was pretty smokin and I like that the author neatly closed this up with all three of them wanting to take their relationship to the next step. This is a great audiobook/book for when you need something short but also hot!

Spoiler Ahead This was book 2 in the "Devils Playground" series. Micah Fontenot can't seem to find what he wants. His twin brother Isaiah has fallen in love with Cassidy and although he has been sharing his bed with Hayden they both know that something or someone is missing. Both Hayden and Micah work at the Playground which is owned by Max Adorite the head of the Southern Boy Mafia. Lindy Weatherford was lived a humdrum life her friends forced her to go out. When her friends stand her up she decides to stay and have a drink and a one night stand she's never had one at 29. This was a pretty good short quick read by one of my favorite author's. Micah and Hayden are both sexy as sin and they both know what they want. When Micah sees Lindy he finds what he is looking for. The sex scenes between these three were hot. I which that this was a full novel I felt that it left off to soon and I wanted more back story. I love the way Nicole writes this book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I hope we see more of these characters in future books.

Hot and sexy as hell! Welcome back Mrs. Edwards! I have missed you!
This book is a m/m/f romance. It is sexy. It is hot. It is spontaneous and it is fucking awesome!

Without Restraint is a short, hot, sexy story that will draw you right in
Nicole Edwards as a master of menage storytelling. Lindy, Michah and Hayden's story could have come off as cheesy, but it never does.
Tor Thom and Charly Angel as new to me narrators and they did a fantasic job of bringing the characters to life.

So hot!
Nicole Edwards is the queen of ménage! Without Restraint is a quick novella but does not lack in anything. Micah, Hayden and Lindy had so much chemistry, I was afraid my Kindle was going to catch fire.

~~I reviewed my personal copy of this book for Wicked Reads~~
I always enjoy reading Ms Edwards' books - and having just read Without Regret, this was a perfect follow on. They were both perfect indulgences in hot, naughty and super sexy stories. I have not read the connected books in the Southern Boy Mafia series, but it didn't matter as there was no Mafia element to this story.
Micah (twin to Isaiah, who features in Without Regret) has an exclusive relationship with Hayden, but knows that he has a fantasy of them both having a woman with them too. Hayden feeds this fantasy in one of the hottest scenes you could want, and accepts that he too would like them to be completed by a woman - but they have never found anyone that they have even been interested in enough.
Lindy, a quiet accountant is meant to be meeting her friends at the Devil's Playground, in the private club section - but when she arrives they are not there. Determined to not slink off home, she attracts Micah's attention ... and the rest is just too hot to risk writing about on the page! This may be short, but oh, it is super hot.
Ms Edwards is supremely good at writing about three people entering a relationship together, both mentally and physically. Absolutely delicious - in fact I have added it to my reread list of guaranteed super hot reads!

Without Restraint is the second novella in the Devil's Playground series. It's a spin-off of the Southern Boy Mafia series. It can be read as a standalone. I don't know why I didn't read Without Regret but I know I will fix that later. I did however read the mafia series and love it. Anyway...back to Micah and Hayden.
Micah and Hayden both work at the Devil's Playground in Las Vegas and have been in a relationship for the last few months. They both can't get enough of each other but they both feel that something or someone is missing to make them complete. They are both bisexual and believe that introducing a woman into their bedroom for a night would fulfill their fantasies. The only thing that has worried Micah was once they do that, they wouldn't be satisfied without one. He didn't want to ruin what he and Hayden had but when they both laid eyes on the sweet and sexy woman that looked out of place at the club, they knew they had to have her even if it was just for one night.
Lindy lived a mundane kind of life. She didn't have any stories to tell. No one night stands. No friend with benefits. And tonight she was on a mission to find a story. One to tell her friends so they could leave her alone and she could go back to the boring life she was used to. But then Micah and Hayden entered the room. She found her one night stand. She never imagined it would be with two men at the same time. She never imagined it could be this good. She wasn't sure if she could go back to her boring life after this.
Seriously...this was the hottest fucking book I have ever read. It was short but not lacking in any way. You got to know Micah, Hayden, and Lindy as a whole and individually. Their every thoughts during their sexy and seductive night of passion. Will it end once the sun comes up or has Micah and Hayden found their missing link? Has Lindy found her inner sex kitten and opened her eyes to more than she bargained for?
Quotes:
“We’ll slide that pretty little dress off your body, then make you come a million different ways before the sun comes up.”
“I’m done asking, sweet girl. I’m going to make you beg.”
Maybe she was playing with fire, but she wanted it all tonight.

Short, kind of sweet, completely sexy. I mentioned in my review of the first book, Without Regret, that I was interested in what was going on with Micah. Well, I found out. And it was as wonderful as I was hoping.
I’m not going to try to wrap this book up in a pretty little bow…it’s pretty much sex, sex, and more sex. Seriously, it’s a very short book so what can you expect? But Nicole Edwards always has a way of letting the emotions of her characters show through even without a ton of dialogue. Even in the few pages she had to do it, the author had me caring about all of them.
If you’re looking for deeper and more emotional reading I highly recommend this author’s Pier 70 or Alluring Indulgence books. (Or how about you just read all of her books because they’re great!) If you want a fun and quick roll in the hay this is a great book to meet those needs.
Although I’ve had this book for a few months, I kept finding myself putting it off. The reason is that my mission is almost over and I don’t want it to end! I only have one more already published Nicole Edwards book that I haven’t read now. To be fair, she has a new book coming out May 30 so by the time I post this I’ll have to say there are two I haven’t read. (I was wrong! I’ve finished reading Distraction so look for my review in the next week or so.) I have a lot to look forward to with the books she’s planning on publishing throughout this year and beyond. Yet there’s something about knowing you don’t have anything you can currently reach for that you haven’t read from a favorite author that makes me sad.

Be prepared to enter in a hot, yet loving relationship as you begin to listen to this story. We met Micah in book one of this series, but now get a little look into his life. He is in a relationship with Hayden, but while the two are happy, they are feel they are missing something only a woman could bring in. When Lindy happens to the club one night, her shyness and beauty draw Micah in right away. But will she be willing to enter a relationship with two men? And is she the right woman for the two of them? Novellas are sometimes rushed, and we are left feeling like so much has been left out. Nicole Edwards has mastered the art of the short story, and these well developed characters will show you how love and passion can be nurtured and grow. The love between Micah and Hayden is so powerful, you can't help but feel it from the very start of the book, and as Lindy is added to their life the love and desire is only heightened. Love this series.
Once again, Nicole Edwards has given this book the perfect set of narrators. With the inexperienced Lindy, Charley Ongel gives a performance of a woman who goes from shy to sensual. Throw in the sensual baritone for Micah and loving Hayden by Tor Thom and the story is impossible to stop listening to. The combination is intoxicating.

Wow! Another smoking hot, quick read! We met Micah in Without Regret...twin to Isaiah. Micah is the personification of Mr Tall, Dark & Broody. He is an exclusive relationship with Hayden, but they are both bi-sexual. Micah’s deepest fantasy is to find a woman who would be willing to share. Lindy is supposed to meet friends at Devil’s Playground but she’s stood up. Micah spots her and strikes up a convo...then Hayden joins them...the night, and following weeks, show the trio exploring a relationship. Will they make it work?
If you want a quick, steamy read with a cute HEA, then you definitely want to get this story!
I accepted a complimentary copy of this book and this is my unbiased review.

This is a seriously hot and sexy quickie with a great trio of characters in Micah, Hayden and Lindy. Micah and Hayden both need something more from their relationship, they agree a woman who wants to be with both of them would be perfect. Then Lindy appears in Devil's Playground one night and the rest is history. I listened to the Audiobook and the narrator, Tor Thom and Charley Ongel were awesome!!

Micah, Hayden, Lindy
m/m, m/f/m
Something was missing in the twin Micah’s life. Sure he has Hayden who too is bisexual, yet there is a missing link. Though heavy petting and raunchy verbal contributions was not enough. Unsuspectingly, along comes Lindy, who as her friends refer her to as - almost a cat lady. Anothe4 short read and extension to the Southern Boys series.
This was hot between the sheets.

A short story about 3 people looking for love - even if they don't know it. The two guys have a great relationship together but something is missing. Enter little miss "I'd like a one night stand." So they give her what she wants... and more. They end up together. End of story. Nothing to write home about.

Love Vegas Style...
What a good read! Made my rainy afternoon better. Nothing like curling up with a good book on a rainy afternoon. A hot "Thruple" in Vegas, is a good way to spend any afternoon. Micah and Hayden were already a hot item. Add in Lindy's innocence and curiosity, was a good mix for happily ever after.

Steamy menage
I love a good menage but this was off the charts awesome. Again, Nicole Edwards doesn't disappoint and will have you flying through the pages. The chemistry between Micah, Hayden and Lindy is so powerful it will have you squirming in a good way.

No cliffhanger
Standalone novella though part of a larger series
Told from 3 POVs
No major editing issues
This books grabs you from the first page and doesn't let go. The entire book is erotic in nature so if you are looking for mass amounts of character development or real world issues this isn't the book for you. This book is all about the intimate moments in life.
Don't get me wrong, the author threw in a love story but since the book is only 100 pages it was a quick one.
I liked all 3 characters. Hayden and Micah are the strong intense types. They are already in an exclusive relationship but both feel like something is missing and want more. Lindy is the humdrum accountant who is just trying to live a little.
None of them saw this coming but they couldn't stop it once it started, nor did they want to.
Super hot quick read. Love this author and this series!

Without Restraint by Nicole Edwards was a good read. Micah and Hayden seem to have everything but they feel like something is missing. They meet Lindy at Micah’s club and realize they just found everything they wanted.

Audiobook version:
This book was very different than the 1st in the series. Much less "suspense/action" and more "romance/action". I thought this book was much steamier and loved it! MM turned MMF-
Narration is great and well produced!

Even though this book was pretty short, I really enjoyed it. Nicole Edwards writes menage so well. Even in a short book, she made me really want these three people to be together long term. My only criticism is that I wish the story was longer!
November 9, 2016
Another excellent book telling the story of Micah, Hayden and Lindy. I love a menage especially if the men are into each other as well as the woman. I can't wait for the next release.
