Sweet and sexy sequel

I'm so happy there's a sequel to Quadruple Duty. The four soldiers are the perfect men; strong, hot, and capable of anything. They have different personalities that fit together so well and I enjoy the love they have for Sammara.

This had plenty of action to keep the story moving. I like seeing the assignments the guys go on and Sammara stepped it up and accompanied them on a couple things. There's also relationship updates, marriage and babies too, plus a ton of steamy parts of course.

This is a quick read and another great book by Wolf!

One of the best reverse harem books ever written. I already started on the second book and it is just as good as the first one, maybe even better. The book doesn't just have a lot of hot sex, but the storyline with the four men fighting for justice and the American way makes it even better that she takes on all four of them men separately and even together.

The sequel brought intense action and suspense, introducing new characters, though none stood out significantly. The portrayal of military life was gripping, showcasing its chaotic and perilous nature. The unique dynamic of the main characters sharing a woman added an interesting layer to the story. Overall, a thrilling continuation with a mix of excitement and character dynamics.

[🦉Maggie Whitworth · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you read the first book you have to read this one too. It finishes the story to a extent.
Again beautifully steamy and sexy read , but their is always that wonderful storyline too that hooks you beginning to end x

[Deanie Nelder · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sammara and her Rangers are planning for their non-traditional marriage when something terrible happens. Three of her guys disappear while overseas, kidnapped by someone with a grudge against their company, DiSpatia (or rather, how they got a hold of it from its previous owner). Sammara helps the fourth to get her boys back in time for their fabulous wedding.

I love the symbolism of her four-part ring and the characters' wonderful relationship. Sammara's renewed friendship with former frenemy Dawn is a great lesson about second chances. However, integrating the action part of the plot with the romance part isn't done as well as it could be, keeping this from being a truly excellent book.

Aimeriez-vous être adorée? Protégée? Aimée? Alors vous aimerez cette lecture…
Un roman « Torride… enflammé, passionné, prometteur, ouvert. » Cette romance est très très très sensuelle, avec quatre puissants et valeureux guerriers, des meilleurs amis, prêts à tout afin de trouver LA femme de leur vie. De l’aimer, de la protéger, de la chérir et de la partager. Une romance saisissante, qui vous donnera des frissons… À lire!

__________
Tome 1 : Quatre Hommes de Devoir
Sammara est assise au bar, attendant son rendez-vous qui est en retard (combien de temps il faut attendre?), lorsqu’un bel inconnu s’assoit près d’elle. Sammara ne s’attendait pas à tomber sous le charme de ce militaire, à échanger un fantastique baiser avec cet homme, Kyle… mais lorsqu’il lui parle de son annonce, l’annonce qu’ILS ont mis sur le « site de rencontre » qu’il l’a amené dans ce bar. Sammara ne peut s’empêcher d’être surprise… Comment quatre superbes, magnifiques, militaires peuvent-ils rechercher UNE seule femme?
En fait, ceux-ci savent très bien, qu’en tant que militaires, ils sont souvent amenés à être déployés à tout moment, pendant plusieurs mois… Alors, être en couple, c’est parfois très difficile, leur relation avec les femmes est souvent complexe. Kyle, Dakota, Ryan et Briggs sont meilleurs amis depuis des années déjà, donc partager une femme leur semble être une bonne idée, une idée parfaite. Ils la chériront, l’aimeront et la feront habiter dans leur maison à rénover près du lac. Et Kyle semble avoir trouver LA femme parfaite pour eux l’autre soir…

« -… Vous vous mettez à trois pour m’attirer dans un piège magnifique, mais dangereux d’une débauche totale… Et toi, tu rêvasses?

Sammara, designer d’intérieur, décide donc de se lancer dans l’aventure… Une semaine de tests afin de savoir s’ils vont bien s’entendre, afin de faire davantage connaissance avec Kyle, le parfait et musclé gentlemen. Puis, ainsi, de faire la rencontre de Dakota, le géant et très drôle cowboy, ainsi que l’énigmatique badboy à moto Ryan. (Briggs est en mission et ne rentrera pas avant plusieurs mois)… Malgré les rapprochements entre Kyle et Dakota, Sammara a de nombreux obstacles à se rapprocher de Ryan. Mais elle est déterminée à le faire tomber sous son charme.
Malheureusement, nos Rangers ont un secret… Un secret qui met leur vie en danger. Ainsi que celle de leur nouvelle petite amie en danger. Pourront-ils découvrir qui en veut à leur vie avant qu’il ne soit trop tard?

« -J’avais peur, Sammara. Peur que tu sois trop bien pour être vraie. Peur que les autres ne te trouvent pas aussi parfaite que moi je te trouvais, et que je te perde avant même de t’avoir eue. Et plus que tout, j’avais peur que toutes ces conneries te fassent fuir.
Dans le miroir, nos regards se trouvèrent. Et ils y restèrent plongés l’un en l’autre, prisonniers du verre.
-Sammara?
Je ravalai la boule dans ma gorge. Je n’avais plus aucune voix du tout.
-Oui?
-Je n’ai plus peur. »

Quatre Rangers… Quatre fois plus d’amour, d’attention. Une histoire pleine de rebondissements et d’action, mais surtout de sensualité, de tendresse et d’affection. Une romance extraordinairement entraînante. À suivre…

__________
Tome 2 : Quatre Hommes de Devoir, Tout ou Rien
Trois ans. Trois ans que leur amour fleurit, perdure, grandit. Ils filent le parfait bonheur, tout en amour et en sensualité. Notre quintette se lance donc dans l’aventure des fiançailles, mais cela s’avère difficile pour Sammara de trouver une date butoir pour le mariage avec ses fiancés en déplacement… Surtout lorsque ceux-ci commencent à disparaître.
Cela commence par son colosse Jason, appelé en pleine nuit. Sammara n’a même pas pu lui dire aurevoir et, voilà, qu’ils n’ont plus de nouvelles de lui… Dakota étant déjà en mission, Kyle et Ryan décident de se lancer à sa recherche, laissant Sammara à la maison, lui promettant de lui donner des nouvelles souvent. Malheureusement, rendu sur place, rien ne se passe comme prévu… et ne lui donnent plus de nouvelles. Sammara, angoissée, se tient donc occupée avec son nouveau travail qui lui a apporté beaucoup de nouveaux contrats, mais elle s’inquiète également pour ses résultats sanguins, puisqu’ils voulaient un bébé… elle n’est toujours pas tombée enceinte malgré le nombre incalculable de fois où ils font l’amour. Et elle s’inquiète tellement pour ses hommes. Ses fiancés.

« C’était presque comme un rêve. Kyle, Ryan, Dakota et moi… Nous étions déjà inséparables. Unis par le combat, nous avions forgé des liens qui jamais ne pourront être brisés, peu importe le temps qui passe, les circonstances, ou la distance qui nous sépare. Et désormais, il n’y aurait plus jamais de distance. Nous ne serions plus qu’une seule unité, une famille unie. »

Lorsque Dakota rentre enfin à la maison, Sammara est soulagée, mais également terrifiée, car il veut faire comme ses frères d’armes et de sang, se précipiter dans un piège… Jusqu’à ce qu’elle lui propose une idée folle. Une idée très dangereuse, qui voudra peut-être de retrouver ses hommes… mais cela veut également dire que Dakota devra l’amener avec lui dans ce voyage plein de dangers. Pourront-ils retrouver leurs hommes… avant qu’ils ne soient trop tard?

« -… Je les aime tous pour des raisons différentes. Ce sont tous des individus différents. Et je les aime aussi pour leurs différences. »

Une nouvelle histoire, une nouvelle aventure. Beaucoup d’actions dans ce tome, mais également beaucoup d’érotismes. Je ne m’attendais pas à ce qu’il y ait autant d’intrigues. Cependant, ce qui m’a surpris davantage, c’est le personnage de Sammara, sa force de caractère, sa tendresse face à ses hommes. Woah, quel tome!

Krista Wolf a un don pour mélanger Amour et Destin, car on s’entend ici pour dire que, malgré « l’ordinateur super performant », le destin y était pour quelque chose dans cette rencontre, dans cet amour intense. L’auteure a une plume, une écriture, totalement enivrante. Divertissante. Intense. Un superbe entre-deux, certes, mais je vous conseille fortement de lire les deux tomes. Cinq personnages différents, touchants, attendrissants, avec chacun une histoire bien distincte… On pouvait facilement savoir à qui nous avions affaire. Ils ont su me toucher chacun à leur façon. Ils sont directs, touchants et drôles.

« Quand on vit avec quatre mâles très alpha qui croient toujours avoir raison… on est obligé à de multiples reprises d’arrêter des engueulades fraternelles. »

Une lecture sensuellement ATTRAYANTE. Un roman passionnément ÉTONNANT. Une romance particulièrement ATTENDRISSANTE. D’excellents entre-deux, que je vous recommande. 12/10

P.S. : L’auteure nous offre même un petit bonus à la fin de notre lecture… Une suite de l’histoire de nos héros que j’ai adorée!!!

Résumés :
Tome 1 :
On recherche: Petite-Amie Communautaire pour (4) Caporaux résidant dans un incroyable manoir en bord de lac. On demande une femme bonne à marier. Exclusivement pour une relation longue durée.

L’annonce est tout à fait ridicule. Plus que ridicule, même ! Et pourtant, pour Sammara Madsen, qui trouve sa vie très ennuyeuse et qui souffre d’une malchance faramineuse en amour… L’idée même lui semble terriblement excitante.

Alors, quand un soldat particulièrement sexy rencontré par hasard lui propose cette invraisemblable aventure, Sammara décide de tenter le coup par simple curiosité. Cependant, quand elle tombe amoureuse du somptueux manoir où ils vivent ainsi que des trois autres beaux gosses de Rangers qui y vivent… ? Eh bien, l’idée d’être leur petite amie à tous et d’être partagée entre eux ne lui semble plus aussi extravagante.

Kyle est l’incarnation de l’homme parfait, charmant, et musclé. Dakota, un géant très beau gosse – la quintessence du garçon de ferme. Ryan est, lui, le bad boy à moto ténébreux qui a comme point commun avec Sammara un passé empli de solitude. Et Briggs, lui, est un mercenaire mystérieux sombre et énigmatique au cœur empli de blessures que seul l’amour puisse guérir.

Pourtant, satisfaire les besoins physiques et émotionnels de quatre puissants soldats bien bâtis ne va pas sans son lot de problèmes. Sammara rencontre bien des tourments dans son entreprise sur le déclin, par exemple. Et les quatre frères d’armes ont un secret perturbant… un secret qui risque bien de les mettre – eux, ainsi que leur ardente nouvelle petite amie – en danger de mort.

Quatre Rangers… Qui se partagent une même femme, d’âme, de cœur, et de corps. Le fantasme ultime devient une réalité haletante à chaque fois qu’ils entraînent Sammara dans leurs lits à tous... et dans leurs cœurs… un par un, à deux contre une… ou à plus.

Sammara pourra-t-elle remplir ses rôles envers chacun de ses nouveaux hommes, tous plus beaux les uns que les autres ? Ses rôles d’amie, d’amante, et bien plus ? Ou de sinistres forces sauront-elles briser leur ménage à cinq avant même qu’il ne prenne corps ?

Tome 2 :
Ils m’embrassèrent à tour de rôle, comme ils le faisaient si souvent. Par de puissants, profonds et amoureux baisers. Si expressifs. Si beaux. Si incroyablement fantastiques…

Trois ans après avoir répondu à une petite annonce outrageusement dévergondée, et être tombée amoureuse de QUATRE Rangers tous plus beaux les uns que les autres, Sammara Madsen a vu sa vie devenir plus que parfaite. Son entreprise croît à toute allure, sa libido crève le plafond, et ses puissants petits copains comblent ses moindres désirs.

Dans des eaux d’un bleu turquoise paradisiaque, un instant de stupeur se transforme en la plus incroyable surprise de sa vie. Cependant, lorsque deux soldats de la compagnie de mercenaire de Jason viennent soudain à disparaître à l’étranger… Une série d’évènements en cascade se retrouve à menacer cette vie parfaite et risquer de la réduire à néant.

Un ennemi mystérieux dans le désert. Un ex-marine, avec une hideuse vendetta à accomplir. Et tandis que les amants de Sammara disparaissent un par un dans ce mortel siphon, elle se trouve forcée à entreprendre des actions désespérées – comme de forcer une alliance improbable avec l’un de leurs plus dangereux ennemis – afin de sauver la vie des hommes qu’elle aime le plus.

Suivez Sammara et ses quatre incroyables mercenaires tandis que ceux-ci bravent les forces traitresses qui s’alignent contre eux. Des eaux bleues cristallines des Fiji à l’ardente immensité d’un désert occidental, seuls les plus forts pourront survivre dans cette épopée plus torride que jamais, pleine d’action, aux goûts de harem inversé.

L’ingéniosité et les ruses de Sammara pourront-elles assurer leur liberté et leur avenir ? Ou bien le spectre de la trahison parviendra-t-il à rompre leur amour pour toujours ?

QUATRE HOMMES DE DEVOIR – TOUT OU RIEN est une romance militaire de harem inversé emplie d’humour, de drames, de couleurs locales exotiques, de rebondissements ainsi que d’énormément d’amour. Elle contient également des instants si torrides (avec un seul ou plusieurs partenaires…) qu’ils ne manqueront pas de faire fondre d’extase votre kindle… ! Fin super-heureuse garantie.

[Lisa · Rating 3 out of 5]

This one wasn't as good as the first in the series, in my opinion. The first book had the excitement of the Quintuplet getting to know each other and making their arrangement work. In this one, they're already a happy family unit and there are no relationship issues at all. Instead that's swapped out for more of an action-adventure type romance. Now, usually that's one of my favorite subgenres of romance so you'd think I would have liked this book even better...but I didn't. Unfortunately, while I'm able to turn my brain off enough to believe 4 smoking hot men would choose to be in a relationship with one woman as long as the chemistry is sizzling, when you try to add actual PLOT to a story, I can't stop myself from seeing all the gaping holes in it. And that ultimately ends up ruining the experience for me. Absolutely nothing about the action plot was the slightest bit believable and it actually made me think less of all the men for being such idiots.


The book opens with the men all proposing to Sammara after 3 years of happy dating. Of course she accepts. Then we get a little info dump of what's been happening these 3 years. Apparently the men have all taken turns taking Sammara to various places on vacation, sometimes just the two of them, sometimes with more or all of them.

Also all but Dakota have left the military active duty. Briggs is running the mercenary operation they stole from Marcus, the bad guy from the previous book. (Only I guess we're supposed to believe they're "good" mercenaries who only fight for noble causes or something since none of our MCs considers this profession to be in any way unsavory?) Kyle and Ryan have left the service but are still military-adjacent. Kyle teaches some kind of class to military people and Ryan is apparently some kind of highly paid consultant.

Sammara has also, apparently, built this thriving business that's crazy successful. I don't know when she found the time or energy for that between all the jet-setting and sex, but that's fiction for you. She's also taken up running, and frequently uses it as a way of feeling in control when one of her men has to leave and she's worried about them.

Oh, and she's worried that she might not be able to have children because they stopped using birth control once they got engaged and she hasn't gotten pregnant despite round the clock sex. This is an ongoing thing throughout the book where Sammara worries about there being something wrong with her, but keeps avoiding going to the doctor to find out the truth. In the early part of the book, she finally does go to a doctor, and all four of her men go with her, and they do some tests. The first test is inconclusive for her, but shows that there's no problem with any of the men.

Once we've set the scene, we're told almost immediately that Briggs has to leave for an important mission and he doesn't know how long he'll be gone. He and Sammara say their goodbyes and then he's gone. So it's down to three men for a while.

One night Sammara comes into Dakota's room and finds him with his head in his hands. This is significant because he's the happy-go-lucky one of the group. She immediately asks if Briggs is okay and Dakota assures her it's nothing to do with him. No, his problem is that his ultra-conservative midwestern mother won't accept their relationship, nor attend the wedding. Sammara says that's understandable and they have to be patient with her. Dakota is ready to cut his mother off but Sammara advises against it. Then they go to have 4-way sex with Ryan and Kyle.

Next morning, Sammara wakes up to find that Dakota was whisked away for a mission in the middle of the night and they didn't bother to wake her to say goodbye. She's pissed and upset. They haven't heard from Briggs in too long, and now Dakota is gone too. Sammara goes for a run to try to exert some control over her life. She's sprinting and pushing herself to the point of recklessness so she finally stops and basically collapses on some stranger's lawn. She's worried about Briggs and Dakota and the possibility of her being infertile and she's essentially hyperventilating. The chapter ends with her blacking out....and then the next chapter opens without a single reference to this. We're never told what happened after she came-to, what caused her to pass out, what the men said or if they ever even knew. It was really bizarre.

A few more weeks go by and Ryan and Kyle announce that they have to go after Briggs. He's been gone too long and something must have gone wrong. They're leaving immediately and taking the rest of the mercenaries from Briggs' team. Sammara tries to insist on going with them, which is insane because she's got no combat training whatsoever, but they talk her out of it by saying her blond-haired, blue-eyed self will stick out like a sore thumb in the middle east and that makes her a liability. She reluctantly agrees to stay behind.

So Sammara is left alone right around the holidays. Her one friend, Melissa, spends some time with her but Sammara insists she go back to her life after a few days. Sammara is very worried about all her men because Ryan and Kyle promised to stay in contact but she hasn't heard from them in weeks.

Then she runs into Dawn, her ex-business partner who robbed her and the Sammara robbed her right back in the last book. Apparently, Dawn has had a tough go of it the last few years but doesn't hold any ill will toward Sammara. They actually have a pleasant exchange and Sammara returns the stuff she stole from Dawn. Then Dawn shows up at Sammara's house. The way this was written, I thought we were being set up for Dawn to be a problem again in this book. It was down right creepy that she just showed up at the house one day, when all Sammara's men were gone. But no, she just gives Sammara a puppy.

Dakota comes home on Christmas day and Sammara is ecstatic to have one of her men back. Given their track record in the rest of the book, I assumed the first thing they'd do would be to have sex. But no, he hustles her onto a plane to go visit his parents instead. Weird. The time at the parents' house was awkward and boring. The mother keeps making little snarky comments to Sammara and both she and Dakota just smile and take it. There's no big breakthrough in this meeting like you'd expect in a book. It's just an awkward, irritating time for all and the mother still doesn't approve of their relationship when they leave, though Sammara does make some headway with the father.

Right after they get back, Dakota gets a call indicating that Ryan and Kyle are now MIA as well and he's all set to go tearing off after them, apparently all by himself since all their mercenaries already went on the previous missions. Sammara insists that's crazy and she can't let her last remaining boyfriend run straight into whatever trouble has taken the other three. Then she comes up with the idea of approaching Marcus, the bad guy from the last book, and asking for his help. Dakota ultimately agrees and they fly to the island Marcus has been living on.

Once there, Sammara does all the talking and negotiating, alone, while Dakota hides in some bushes with his sniper rifle, ready to shoot Marcus if he makes a wrong move...something that 100% would have resulted in Sammara's death, had it come to pass. Marcus's home is filled with guards who are loyal to him, if Dakota had shot Marcus, the guards would have killed Sammara in a heartbeat. But I guess we're not supposed to think about that.

Anyway, Marcus proceeds to go through a complete ret-con where the author expects us to believe that all his dastardly deeds from the previous book were all misunderstandings and he's actually a decent guy underneath. There's some OTHER bad guy who was forcing Marcus to do illegal things. And what's more, this other bad guy, a Colonel in the army, is the one who has had Briggs in a dungeon for the last few months.

Marcus proceeds to say that he's bored living in luxury on his private island and wants to get back into the mercenary game. So, yes, he will help rescue Briggs, Ryan, and Kyle in exchange for having his mercenary team back again. Sammara agrees to this even though she doesn't really have any legal right to.

Marcus starts making all the arrangements and, once again, Sammara INSISTS on going to Iraq. Dakota allows this even though it's insane. Sammara keeps pointing to the fact that Briggs taught her how to shoot as proof that she'll be fine but that's just bullshit. Being able to shoot at paper targets at the range in her safe and secure life in the US is NOT the same thing as knowing what to do in an active war zone, or on a stealth mission, or any of the other infinite things they could encounter on this trip. But, once again, we're not supposed to think about that. Just admire her for being "strong" or whatever and ignore the fact that they're all 100% idiots for allowing this to happen.

So they all go over there and almost immediately they bump into Kyle. His leg is injured but he's mostly fine. Even though in the last chapter we had from his perspective he was SURE the leg was badly fractured and said he could feel the pieces of bones grinding together, now in this chapter we're told he just had a little shrapnel in there and he's okay. Well enough to immediately have sex with Sammara, at least.

Marcus and Dakota go off to rescue Briggs and somehow they manage to hook up with Ryan in the process, which confused me. Briggs is totally fine, despite having been held captive for months, and they all head back home to have some sex.

Then they meet with Marcus again and he asks for the company back. The men tell him to go fuck himself. That they "appreciate" his help saving their lives and all but Sammara didn't have any legal authority to promise the company to him and they will not honor her promise. Marcus says he only wants it back temporarily so they can lay a trap for the Colonel and Sammara talks them into trusting him. She says she's learned that people deserve second chances, which presumably was the point of the whole Dawn story line.

So they make arrangements to pretend to give Marcus back the company. Then he'll go to the Colonel and Ryan and Dakota will spy on everything. I'm not clear on what exactly their plan was but, once again, Sammara insists on going with them. And they allow it, despite there being absolutely no reason for her to be there.

So they go to the Colonel's estate and when they get there they find that Marcus is already there. So they think he's double-crossed them, somehow. Like I said, I'm not really clear on what their plan was here. It's just the three of them, Ryan, Dakota, and Sammara. What were they going to do? Arrest the Colonel? Later on in the story it transpires that they were just trying to get proof of the Colonel's involvement, but Marcus is the one who gets it by pretending to sell the Colonel illegal guns or something. So why the hell did Ryan, Dakota, and Sammara need to be there AT ALL?

Anyway, they're sitting there in the woods spying on the Colonel's house and the men keep shushing Sammara because she won't stop talking and potentially giving away their position. Then they see Marcus, think they've been double-crossed, and Sammara says "guys" only to be shushed again. She says "guys!" again and points out that there are 3 flash/spotlight beams heading their way. Apparently our elite military badass heroes had failed to spot these and if Sammara hadn't been there to warn them they would have been caught. Yes, I totally believe that.

So the three of them take off running and are clearly being pursued. Sammara struggles to keep up with the men, despite all the running she's been doing, and only NOW does she realize that her being there is a liability for them. Because apparently she really is just THAT stupid that she couldn't just deduce that logically. At one point Dakota has to carry her because she's falling behind, but eventually they make to their car and speed off. They decide to hide out in a seedy motel and even ditch their car...and five seconds after that Marcus is at their door with all his mercenaries so that was pointless.

He tells them that everything's totally fine now. He had to alter the plan because the Colonel invited him inside and if he'd refused then the Colonel would have been suspicious. He never double-crossed them, everything was above board and he's got the proof they needed, just like that. So why were the guards chasing our MCs? According to Marcus they "tripped a proximity sensor." Except that doesn't make any sense since they'd been sitting in the same spot for ages. Why would it take the guards so long to come check on the proximity sensor? Just turn your brain off.

And that's basically the end of the story. The villain was completely lame since he never even appeared on-page as anything other than a guy they saw through binoculars. Marcus did all the important stuff to bring about the resolution and we're all supposed to believe that he's totes a good guy now despite trying to kidnap Sammara in the last book. All our heroes became complete idiots in this book, allowing themselves to be led into traps by the bad guy without planning ahead and then allowing completely untrained Sammara to tag along on the missions just because she said so. The puppy was kind of irrelevant to the story too since, once Sammara got it, she almost immediately left town to go visit Dakota's parents and then spent the rest of the book charging off on these ill-advised missions.

I also found it very unbelievable that all of this stuff was happening without the official government, military, or any law enforcement type agency getting involved at all. Considering that 3 out of the 4 men still worked with or for the military, I don't see how they'd be able to just fly off to have an unsanctioned mercenary mission whenever they wanted. Hell, Dakota is still active duty! What if his superiors had needed him for a mission while he was in Iraq? Wouldn't he be AWOL? None of this makes sense or is believable.

Anyway, the story wraps up with their wedding. Dakota's parents still didn't come, which made the scenes where they visited them kind of a waste, narratively speaking. They also never addressed the question of which of the men she actually legally married on paper, unless I missed that part. I was doing some skimming by the end because I'd kind of lost interest in the story.

We also find out the results of her infertility scan. Basically, she's completely fine except that her fallopian tubes are blocked. So her eggs are fine, and her uterus is fine, which means she can carry a baby to term, she just can't conceive the old fashioned way. She'll have to do IVF, but the doctor assures her she's a perfect candidate for it.

Then things get weird. See, Sammara and the men all start quizzing the doctor as to whether it's possible for them to keep the men's "donations" separate so that they can use them to separately fertilize the eggs and be clear on whose is whose. The doctor assures them that this is entirely possible and they're all happy about it. That suggests that they're going to deliberately try to make sure each of the men has at least one child by Sammara, which is just nuts. In every other reverse harem story I've read, the group NEVER want to know who fathered whom. The whole point is that it doesn't matter. They're all in a committed relationship with each other and will all raise and love all the children, regardless of who actually fathered them.

Doing it this way seems like it's guaranteeing that each man will love their own child more than the others and that just has disaster written all over it. How do they decide whose child gets to be born first? What happens if Sammara has 3 kids and then decides she doesn't want a fourth? What if she physically CAN'T have a fourth? Then the husband left out is going to feel like he got screwed. What happens if one of the men's kids turns out to be severely disabled? Will he feel like he deserves a "do over" kid? What if one of the pregnancies results in twins? Or even triplets? As IVF pregnancies so often do? Will the other men feel like they should get more kids too just because one of them got more babies with their DNA? And if so, would Samara be willing to accommodate them by having more pregnancies?

Do you see how this has disaster written all over it? The only "fair" way to do this is to have all four men's contributions be mixed together and whoever's swimmers win, is the dad. They never do any DNA testing to find out who the real father is, and then they all feel equally invested in the kids. Anything else would just lead to favoritism, resentment, and hurt feelings. But, once again, I guess we're not supposed to think about that.


And that's it. The plot was full of holes to the point where it made all our MCs seem like idiots and the villain was toothless and basically caught off-page by a secondary character. Lame. The relationship was already solid from the start so there wasn't really anything on that front to keep me turning the pages. Just not that satisfying of a read, overall. And I hated the ending to the pregnancy/infertility story line.

In every culture, marriage is sacred. It’s a holy bond. A connection of the souls. It doesn’t so much matter what you believe, or in which higher beings you place your faith. Marriage is generally universal. It transcends cultures, customs, and tradition. - Nanise

Let me start by saying that Quadruple Duty, book 1 in this series was for me a 5 star book, but it was also one of the first reverse harem's I read. All or Nothing is a 3-3.5 star book partially because it is a second book so there is a lot less character development and what is done with the pre-existing characters. Markus is now a good or at least neutral character, the closure with Dawn is fantastic and welcome, time heals all wounds. Lending Dawn the key letting her take her stuff back is a great karmic balance. I love the project Samara is going with now. Melissa and the guys have brilliant reactions to that move. And Melissa is the best sort of bestie. You fuck with whatever is mine I am under no obligation to forgive you and I will hold a grudge.

There was a lot going on during this book, it's non stop. The book is almost equal part story and smut. which is the right sort of balance, I'm not what to make of most of it, there was a flow problem, a time problem. The wedding scene is gorgeous, the vows are beautiful. As is to be expected with one bride and four husbands there is a whole lot of sexual acrobatics going on in the honeymoon section. There is a second epilogue (downloadable content), I'm guessing I know what that is. IVF is a fantastic solution to her baby issues but I am ho-hum about it in this type of book. I feel it works better if the father is uncertain. They will all raise their children together so why bring such an expensive and complicated thing into it? I feel it's not at good as 1st one and feels like it was written by fan demand. No single big thing wrong with it just lots of little things that upset me probably more than they should have.

A Nice End to the Series

This is the second instalment of Quadruple Duty and well worth the read. It takes place 3 years after Sammara started living with her 4 soldiers and is mostly based on an overseas mission with a whole lot of love thrown in. I would’ve loved a little more of their story, say a snapshot of 2 years into the future but I guess there’s not much more of the story to tell without it becoming repetitive.

One heck of a finale

I fell for these 5 amazing characters in the first book, but this one makes them more of a United group. The mystery, adventure, pain, and love bind them together in a way that nothing else could. I loved the whole book and cannot wait to read more from this author.

This book was pretty good. I though it dragged on a bit, but overall is was steamy and easy to read.

Krista Wolf, ‘Quadruple Duty’, All or Nothing. (A military harem reversal romance).

As an Hidden Gems ARC reader I received this book for free. And promised an honest review. Here it is. English isn’t my first language. Sorry for errors.

Rating: 3,5 stars (of 5).

In general: A poly amorous romance.

Main characters:
- Sammara.
Owner of Universal Design, a successful firm, specialised in restoring old buildings

- Kyle, Jason, Dakota and Ryan.
Four Army Rangers who became soul mates in the army. Three years ago they placed an ad, asking for a ‘community girlfriend’. Long term only. And Sammara had tried it and fell in love with each of them.

Then the author Krista Wolfs describes an holiday with all of them on Bora Bora three years after Sammara’s first meeting with one of her Rangers. She sketches the development of the romance with her 4 soldiers. The getting used to their dangerous deployments, the discoverng of the individual personalities and falling in love with each of them during one-on-one trips: all different persons but all gorgeous looking and caring for her. (I get a bit tired of women becoming immediately very wet only by looking at a good looking man, but okay, it’s a part of the genre). And now they are all at the same resort and together they ask her - in a very romantic way - to marry them. Of course she agrees.
But it’s complicated: she wants children but in spite of many hot sex sessions with 4 men she cannot become pregnant, the legacy of a marriage with 4 men is a problem, the acceptance of the marriage by some (older, conservative) family or friends is difficult and the dangerous deployments are often a source of fear even during the period of preparations for the marriage.
All in all Krista Wolfs creates a nice story with hot sex scenes and military actions with a lot of suspense in which even Krista herself gets involved. And of course a HEA. Not the most original or realistic plot I ever read, but still a pleasure to empathize for a moment in such a romance.

Sammara è la protagonista e, per via di un incontro con Kyle, la sua vita verrà completamente cambiata.

Già! Perché, tra una chiacchiera e l'altra, Kyle mostra a Sammara un annuncio che hanno fatto lui e i suoi "fratelli" di armi:
"Cercasi fidanzata da condividere per (4) Ranger specialisti dell'esercito in una stupenda proprietà con villa sul lago.
Donna da sposare. Solo a lungo termine."

Superato lo shock iniziale, Sammara accetta la proposta di Kyle, nonostante trovi tutto ciò scandaloso.
Conoscerà Dakota e Ryan, mentre Briggs al momento è in missione da qualche parte nel mondo.

Riuscirà Sammara a gestire 4 fidanzati Certo che sì!

Per Sammara è tutto un sogno: una villa antica da restaurare e quattro uomini da amare ma, aimé, non è tutto rose e fiori!

Dovrà sopportare un fallimento lavorativo, grazie alla cattiveria e gelosia della sua socia.

E come se non bastasse, il lavoro dei suoi uomini metterà in pericolo la sua stessa vita!

Troveremo tantissima azione, dagli inseguimenti in macchina alle sparatorie e a lotte corpo a corpo.

Non è di certo una storia noiosa, anzi...

È una storia d'amore militare, tra romanticismo, dramma ed emozioni uniche.

Amo la penna di Krista che, con la sua scrittura pulita, trasmette adrenalina e mistero.

Ovviamente contiene scene di 🔥 però non cade mai nel volgare.
È una lettura piacevole che ti coinvolge pagina dopo pagina.
Lettura consigliatissima.

Non vedo l'ora di leggere il seguito 😉

[MS•MagnoliaFarmGrl · Rating 5 out of 5]

True love and devotion comes in many forms in this world and this book shows you how one woman finds complete and utter happiness with four incredible military men. It wasn’t easy, as Sammara finds out, but then again the best in this world is worth fighting for.
Amongst all that is happening in their lives these hard core, tough Army Rangers all come together emotionally, tapping into that tender side most will never see, and are utterly smitten and in love with Sammara and find their HEA.

If you are looking for an action packed, emotional roller coaster with some Hot, Lust Filled Erotic times that will melt the ice caps then this is the book for you.

Krista Wolf masterfully pulls you in from the start and is able to transport you through every emotion. Crying , laughing, excitement, fear, love, commitment, satisfaction, accomplishment; there just aren’t enough words to explain what you get in this book. Just when you think you know where the story is going Krista surprises you.

I recommend reading the first book, Quadruple Duty to get the full picture of how they all came together. Definitely not for anyone under 18.

I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. Love it. This is a continuation of the Quadruple Duty. An the continuing journey is amazing. Sammara, Ryan, Dakota, Jason and Kyle are now in a happy relationship, having survived an almost devastating attack three years ago. Now there lives are running smoothly or so they think. Getting engaged to the guys should be easy, but when Jason gets called away for duty, things change. When Dakota is called away at Halloween for a mission , things are still ok, except they hadn't heard from Jason for a while. Then when Kyle and Ryan head over to find Jason, after leaning he was taken prisoner, Sammara is torn. All of this is going on while she's trying to figure out why she can't get pregnant. Now with all the guys out, she becomes very sad but she rekindles her friendship with her ex partner Dawn. Dakota shows up and wisks her away to see his parents, but if also called to go to duty, now Kyle and Ryan are missing. Working together to figure out what to do, Sammara wants her family home safe and sound. Follow then on their journey and as their future starts to unfold for the rangers and their love great story. Love the heat and characters.

The story itself was good, with some suspense and drama to keep a person interested, however it seemed to be about 90% smut and only 10% plot. Now don't get me wrong, I genuinely LOVE a dirty smut-fest, but this was sadly lacking the normal heat and excitement that goes with the genre. The scenes were very repetitive and lacked imagination, and with 4 men to service Sammara's every whim and desire, there should'be been no need for the monotony that was their every steamy scene. The pairing and positions and possibilities were nearly limitless and yet it seemed to be the same ones doing the same things over and over. I feel like if a little more time would have been spent on Jason's mission (and subsequently Kyle and Ryan's), that the story would've held my interest a bit better. As it was, I eventually began to fast forward in 15-second intervals through the spicy scenes because I was so bored with them. I would try to listen to it entirely (oh yeah, in case you couldn't already tell, I had listened to the audiobook version) but it was just so redundant and tedious that I couldn't take it any longer. By far, the first book was much, much better!

This is the second book in this series about Samara and her military men. They are getting settled into their lives together and letting their families know about their relationship. They have the typical relationship things going on and finally get into a good place when Jason gets called away for work. The other guys try to keep her distracted but when things get hairy and Jason goes missing the other join in the search. This leads to Samara being on her own for a bit before Dakota rejoins her and they end up traveling for find their family and bring them home safe.

This is an amazing story just because its the second installment doesn't mean it can't be read on its own. The characters draw you into their story to where you lose yourself while reading about them. This is a well written and very entertaining story. If you like steamy reads than this is for you. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

This was a good addition to the previous book. I would highly recommend reading the first book before this one. though the author does talk about what happened 3 years ago it's still better to read the first book. This book is HOT, HOT, HOT!! After 3 years we get to go back and see how the 5 are doing. I was a little disappointed with the end because during the whole book they talk about her getting pregnant and then at the end there is absolutely nothing mentioned. I would have preferred the epilogue have been 6 months or more later not the next day. This book as I said is hot but also has a major story. If you liked the first book you will like/love this book.

Ready for more

Pulled in from the get go! Emotional!! Will you tissues too? What a great story, full of action, emotion, love, suspense,..... Yeah Krista hit it right! I can't wait to read more from her.
Please be ADVISED before reading this book, I feel that I need to advise you and all future readers that in all likelihood this book may have some things that you as a reader may find objectionable or repulsive. So PLEASE if you have a prejudice viewpoint regarding Sharing Partners that you cannot set aside while reading a fictional story, then please STOP reading and find another book. It would be unreasonable & unfair to the author if you read and then rated their work poorly based on personal feelings instead of the fictional work the produced. If you do decide to continue reading, HAPPY READING! Due to explicit sexual content and adult language this novel is recommended for readers 18 and older.

~ Sammara, their perfect storm ~

Three years now into their unconventional relationship, Sammara and her four men have beat all the odds at making this work for them, and they are all happy to be together as a cohesive unit. In fact, things could not be better, but it is not without issues down the road for them, either. She is used to having her men gone for undisclosed periods of time for the purposes of even more secretive deeds, but when her Rangers start to disappear one by one, Sammara thinks outside the box to come up with a way to get them back, this time refusing to be left behind.

What follows is a real adventure, running into old foes, trusting in new alliances, and meeting danger head on, while right at her mens’ sides. They have definitely met their match, and I am pleased to see their story continued, because their first book had left me wanting to learn more!

One woman, four men. Dream come true? Until the men go missing one by one...

This is the second book in this series and it can be read as a standalone. You will be missing how they got into the arrangement they are in now, but you can always go back and find out if you desire.

If the first one was a reverse harem romance, this is a romantic suspense novel. We still get plenty of hot sex scenes with her four men, but we also get intrigue, suspense and action to go along with it. The story is very well written and the characters each have enough detail to stand on their own, but when they are together hot and dangerous things happen. If anything, I think I liked this book even more than the first and I loved the first one.

Highly recommended.

Sex! Action! Romance!

The second book in this series has the leading lady as eager for sex as any pron star. She refers to the delight of substances oozing out of her after and during graphic sex scenes. Realistically, graphic sex is why we download books like this.

This one's mixed in some over the top, potentially unlikely action sequences. Suspend disbelief enough and they work, with all five leads being competent.

An example of the writing:

"My boys screwed me lazily, pinning me to the bed. Taking turns holding me down and digging me out until my eyes rolled back into my head and I saw silvery, shooting stars. The whole thing was indescribably hot. Trippy, even. But as hallucinogenic as it sometimes felt, the euphoria I felt sandwiched between these two gorgeous, and powerful alpha men was all too real."

Awesome Read!!!

I loved reading Quadruple Duty: All or Nothing Book 2!!! All about Samara Madsen a girl in her mid-twenties a Interior Designer and girlfriend to four hot Army Ranger Specialists. She’s been with these guys for four years, living in a restored Victorian lakeside mansion that she restored!! She has her own Interior Design business, with three divisions, life is fantastic!! Read about Samara & Jason, Ryan, Kyle & Dakota and see what living with Army Ranger Specialists really means!!! Because one minute it’s roses & the next it’s dropping tulips!! As with the first book the emotions are off the chart, with lots of moaning and toe curling sighs going on!!! This is also a page turner & will keep you up till all hours flipping pages, to finish it!!! But savior it, because it has a major twist!!! Loved this series!!!

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

This is not a stand alone this is a continuation of Quadruple Duty: A Military Reverse Harem. All of the characters are back from the first one. In this book they are back to fight again however in this book though they are not fighting the same person they are still fighting to be together. Will they find another HEA or will this one separate some of them for good this time?

This book is so so so amazing. There is so much I want to tell you about this book. However with all the ins and outs of it I don't wan to ruin it for any other readers. There are twists and turns that will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

**My thanks to the author and Hidden Gems for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This book happens three years after the first book and starts with a holiday on Bora Bora with Ryan and where commitments are further made with each other.

When Jason goes missing the band of brothers do what they do best until Sammara wades in and recruits help from an unlikely source and the family of five can be reunited. The heat starts from the beginning of the book and continues right until the very end.

You are able to download an extra epilogue that is very much worthwhile reading to get a does of what is happening five years down the line with our large happy family.

Really enjoyed this instalment and will be looking to see what else the author comes out with.

Questo romanzo mi è piaciuto anche più del primo. Vediamo tanti temi toccati come Sammara che non riesce a restare incinta; un matrimonio da organizzare; dare una seconda opportunità a qualcuno; il doversi rimboccare le maniche ed essere forti. Adoro quando in un romanzo c'è la suspense e quando scompare Jason prima, e Kyle e Ryan poi, l'ansia c'è ed è altissima. Sammara si dimostra essere perfetta sia come fidanzata ma anche come stratega visto che sarà lei, nei suoi limiti ovviamente, ad organizzare un piano e partire per il deserto. Belle le scene con Dakota e la sua famiglia così come quelle con Dawn a cui dà una seconda possibilità. Sammara è il mio idolo: bella, intelligente, perspicace e adesso con 4 futuri mariti super sexy!
Il mio voto è 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

This is a follow-up to the first Quadruple Duty book. I think both can be read as standalones. The sequel is more adventure-focused than the first one. It’s not to say that it doesn’t have hot sex scenes, because it does, just not as frequent and lengthy as the ones in the first book. In All or Nothing, the characters are more comfortable with one another and are getting into their routines but a dangerous conflict pulled them out of their peaceful existence. The book is exciting to read, at times have a fast-paced plot, with some suspense. Very engrossing. [I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.]

Quadruple the romance...quadruple the hotness... quadruple the love! What’s not to like?! I loved the first book and this one didn’t disappoint either. I just love all these guys..I mean obviously they are sexy as. but also just the way they are.. how they look after Sammara and the connection they all have..and then there’s the fact they are all bad ass soldiers! Lots of drama in this one with some of the guys going missing and Sammara and Dakota going to rescue them and there’s some quite emotion bits too.

Not what I expected. Not at all. But that is in the most positive way. Well written story with a nice storyline and plot. I like that the characters and how they develop. A passionate and emotional read with twists. Enjoyable and recommendable.

It is written in multiple POV which gives the reader much more of the thoughts and feelings of the main characters. The epilogue is very welcomed and gives the story more to it and it finishes it better of than without it. I would have liked though to hear the story more from the mens aspect. A bit too much Sammara.
There are passion, drama, danger, protectiveness, hot scenes and lots of chemistry in this amazing story.
