Twice Bitten

Javier Coven #3

by Jayda Marx

Sam -
Lately, I’ve been feeling restless. My best friends are happily mated and constantly loving all over each other. While I’m happy for them, I also can’t help but be a little jealous. It’s a foreign feeling for me; I’ve never been interested in a relationship, since all of my adult life has been about the next hookup with whatever man was in front of me at the time. But lately, hookups just haven’t hit the spot (heh - that sounds dirty). Eager for a change of scenery, I accompany my friends to Spain for the feast being held in honor of Dante and Ben’s marriage. It’s there that my life is changed forever when I see my mates from across the room; and yes, I said mates. As in plural. I’ve always been interested in...entertaining two men at a time, but I never thought Fate would bless me with two mates. They’re strong, gorgeous, red-haired (my favorite!), and sexy as sin in kilts. I immediately envision them whispering nasty things to me in Scottish brogue. Things seem absolutely perfect...until they aren’t. My mates take one look at me and stomp away in a cloud of disappointment and anger. Vampire mates are supposed to fall head over heels with one glance, but mine don’t want me.

Fletcher -
My twin brother Flynn has always been my closest friend and greatest ally. For five hundred twelve years, we’ve fought side-by-side in battle countless times. We fiercely defend our kin, coven and each other. However, Flynn can also be my biggest irritation. We love each other deeply, as brothers should, but we also fight like cats and dogs. Though we look similar, our personalities vary greatly; I’m pensive and practical while Flynn is carefree and silly. Our differences have caused many arguments between us, but we always work things out. Flynn and I travel together to Spain for the commemoration of the prince’s bonding, and there we meet our mate. And yes, I said mate. As in singular. One man for both my brother and me. Jealousy flares and tempers rise; how can this be? Can we put aside our selfishness and give our mate the love he deserves, or will this be one rift that finally tears us all apart?

*This M/M paranormal romance is for readers 18 and up! It has no cliffhangers or cheating and a very happy HEA. It contains a naughty vampire, his sexy fated mates, and hilarious best friends. Look out for fun Scottish insults, heartwarming moments and steamy scenes!

**Author’s note: This paranormal romance features my take on some seriously sexy vampires. They share many attributes of vampires found in other fictional works, but not all. This low-angst book contains instalove between fated mates, sweet moments, lots of laughs, and of course steamy scenes. I want my readers to finish my books with a smile on their face and a fierce case of the warm and fuzzies. Laughter is guaranteed, and each read delivers its own type of drama. Thanks for taking a look and happy reading!

About the author

I live in rural Ohio with my husband and two sons who drive me nuts, but I love them with all my heart. I enjoy reading and writing romance of all types, but gay romance is my forte and favorite! Twice the sexy men? Yes, please! My books tend to be low angst because it hurts my heart, but they do contain lots of heartfelt moments, steamy scenes and a healthy dose of humor. Thank you to everyone for checking out my page and I hope you enjoy my books. Happy reading!

You know when you read a book and like a side-character more than the main so you keep reading the series to get to that character's own book? And then you know how that book lets you down in every way and suddenly the character you loved so much isn't quite as fun anymore?

Yeah. That happened.


Choke 'em, bae!

Sam es un vampiro joven, que no quiere enseriarse, pero cuando ve a sus mejores amigos tan felices con sus parejas se siente solo. Ademas, en la ultima semana se ha sentido inquieto, algo que ni siquera sin continuos hookups han podido aliviar. Pero todo se aclara cuando encuentra a sus compañeros destinados, si 2 compañeros solo pare el, su sueño echo realidad, estos hermanos gemelos son todo lo que ha soñado, pero para estar con ellos debe afrontar el continuo celo entre hermanos, mas la aceptacion de su trabajo como guardaespaldas personal del consorte del Principe.
Flynn y Flecher, vampiros hermanos gemelos, han estado juntos toda su vida, pero cada uno espera con ansias la llegada de su pareja destinada, el problema radica cuando se dan cuenta que Fate le ha dado el mismo compañero para ambos y que deberan compartirlo. Cuando se dan cuenta lo importante que es su compañero, se llenan de orgullo y juran protegerlo.

Esperaba muchisimo muchisimo mas de este libro, era sobre Sam, el personaje mas divertido de la serie, pero resulto que apenas tocaron por encima la historia de los gemelos y las hazañas de Sam. Nunca conocimos su pasado o a sus padres, ademas que al final cuando vuelven a herirlo, ni siquiera nos enteramos como, quien o porque lo hicieron.
Esta es quizas la historia mas simple y sin complicaciones de toda la serie, y con el personaje que mas posibilidades tenia, esperaba mejores dialogos, mejores chistes, o sea, el libro fue decepcionante, pareciera que solo lo escribio para cerrar la serie y dar un bocado para el spin-off (que no pienso leer en este momento).
Asi que bueno, fue una lastima, una serie con varias de mis temas favoritos, que me creo tantas espectativas con el primer libro, y que los demas no dieron la talla.

Sam, Fletcher, and Flynn were perfect together! 🤤🤌

I was reluctant to read this since I'm not a big fan of MMM, but I'm so glad I did! I just loved all of them together! Especially how sassy Sam was and how Fletcher and Flynn were different.

I enjoyed how Sam loved both of them equally and how the brothers treated Sam. It's a sweet, insta-love story with two brothers obsessed with their mate, found family, and funny moments. ❤️

I'm going to pass on this one. I don't read MMM romances. They aren't for me...they just aren't something I enjoy personally. I hate it because I really wanted to read his story.

So I debated back and forth about writing this review. I don't tend to write things too negative. At least I don't think so and try not to. First and foremost, I do enjoy Jayda Marx books and even read more of her works after this book (Her werewolf series is great as well). But something really bothered me about this book. She had an M/M/M relationship and even though I've only read a couple series with a throuple(?) in it, I didn't like her view of the two brothers in this dynamic. One thing I love about the M/M genre is how open minded it is. The whole concept is the belief that love is love. It transcends all. In this story she made it very clear that the brothers were NOT together. That is perfectly fine...and I know incest bothers a great deal of readers and the taboo genre is a completely different kit and caboodle. But I feel like she went a little too far in stating her dislike (or characters dislike of the idea). She may have wanted to make it clear as not to offend any delicate readers...but her words stuck with me through the whole book...I would stop reading and just have these philosophical chit chats with myself! So basically I feel like she should have just stated they bros were not together and left it at that. I mean she's the author and can write however she wants, but...well...I just didn't like her saying "it was disgusting" (about the brothers being together)! Hahahaha! Needless to say many enjoyed it, just my two cents and because I spent so much time thinking about it I had to write a review just to vent and get it off my chest! The author seems nice in general and I hope you enjoy the book. Overall it was a decent read, but definitely preferred the first two books! P.S. Sorry for this possibly controversial post!

This is exactly what I was hoping for with Sam. The first two books hinted that he liked being with 2 guys and was interested in a little bondage action and this book delivered in a big way. Sam was just as funny and filthy as the first books in the series, and his mates were a perfect match for him. Together they were hot, fierce, funny and did I mention hot? Great end to the series, and I'll be looking forward to the spin off to see these guys pop up again.

[Rachel · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 stars--this M/M/M fated mates romance was more awkward than sexy. If you're going to put twins in a relationship with the same man, you can't be avoiding the incest factor so strongly. It makes the triad unrealistic and keeps Sam acting as the power bottom between the other two who don't seem to want to even touch each other by accident. This could have been much better.

[Vicky · Rating 2 out of 5]

It's been a couple of weeks that I read all three books in this series and quite frankly I don't remember much about any of the books.

This review is for all three and it's going to be very short.

I was in the mood for something insta-lovey, something that didn't have much angst, because I was pretty stressed out in real life and didn't need to stress about something fictional too, and these books delivered that, hence the two stars for each.

But, even though, insta-love was what I wanted to read it was still too much for me. I don't know how to explain it, I'm very difficult when it comes to that subgenre.

In this instance it was too cheesy and cringey for me, so I didn't have a good time.

Anyway, I'm sure these books will be someone else's cuppa.

[Romance Fan · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved the whole series, but Sam's book was probably my favorite. It was sweet, sexy and hilarious. The jealousy and insults between the brothers had me rolling. Without spoiling anything, I'll just say I can't wait to read the next series to find out more information on the "troublemaker" from the field and his friends. Oh, and Callum. Yum.

[SC · Rating 2 out of 5]

I’m going with 2.75 stars on this one. As per usual, it’s filled with the total sappy, corny banter as the previous books. Super alpha macho males, dropping to their knees, expressing their undying love. No really, that totally happened in this book.

I’ve waited for Sam’s story since the first book of this series. I felt the author didn’t carry his personality that well from book to book so I was a little iffy about this one. Here is the thing. As much as I enjoy a good ménage book, I can’t really get into it when two out of the (in this case) MMM, are brothers. Want to read a fantastic MMM+ ? Check out Macy Blake and The Chosen series. That works for me because they all have a relationship with each other. When it‘s siblings, it seriously grosses me out. As one of them pointed out after a sex scene, he didn’t like looking at his brother’s hairy ass while banging his lover. Sam gives one a blow job then proceeds to immediately kiss the other brother. Tell me that’s not disgusting ?!? I did like that all the other characters had a big presence in the book, until they started acting like idiotic teenagers at the mall food court. Moving on. The whole shooting thing - I know it leads to the next series, I totally get that, but you can’t sit there and make Dante almost tear a guy’s head off for making a rude comment to Ben, to then act like nothing happened when Ben was almost shot. Like, WTF ?! I understand that she can’t get into that because of the spin off, but you have to work it so that one of your main characters isn’t contradicting himself in such a major way.

Lastly, the sex scenes. Crude as always. Trashy even. I don’t like the way she writes them. I appreciate her not trying to write in Spanish anymore too, than God for small favors. Sam is not the same as he was in book one. I miss that Sam. This really was just meh, ok, not as bad as book 2 though, so that’s a plus right ?

[Marie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series is bloody brilliant. Each character was so enchanting from intense to cute to sexy and silly. I loved that Sam got his HEA and can’t wait to see the spin off series. A series that will going on my re-read a lot group.

[rebecca · Rating 2 out of 5]

**2.5 stars**

Same issues as book two: the insta-love bothered me because it made little sense in context of the plot. How can one be completely heartbroken one minute and the next head over heals in love? Just didn’t work for me.

And again, I’m a bit disappointed because I really enjoyed Sam as a character and wished for a better story for him.

But to be fair, the last third of the book was better and more fun than the rest. 2.5 stars it is.

J’ai adoré leurs relations. Tant amoureuse qu’amicale.
J’ai adoré Ben et Milo et la relation de Sam avec eux, surtout avec Ben.


📖
Sam – Dernièrement, je me sens agité. Mes meilleurs amis sont heureux en couple et s’aiment constamment. Bien que je sois heureux pour eux, je ne peux pas m’empêcher d’être un peu jaloux. C’est un sentiment étranger pour moi ; je n’ai jamais été intéressé par une relation, puisque toute ma vie d’adulte a été centrée sur le prochain plan cul avec l’homme qui se trouvait devant moi à ce moment-là. Mais ces derniers temps, les plans cul ne me plaisent tout simplement pas (heh – ça a l’air sale). Avide de changement de décor, j’accompagne mes amis en Espagne pour la fête organisée en l’honneur du mariage de Dante et Ben. C’est là que ma vie change à jamais lorsque je vois mes amis de l’autre côté de la pièce ; et oui, j’ai dit amis. Comme au pluriel. J’ai toujours été intéressée par… divertir deux hommes à la fois, mais je n’aurais jamais pensé que le destin me bénirait avec deux amis. Ils sont forts, magnifiques, roux (mon préféré !) et sexy comme un péché en kilt. Je les imagine immédiatement en train de me murmurer des choses désagréables avec un accent écossais. Tout semble absolument parfait… jusqu’à ce qu’il n’en soit plus ainsi. Mes amis me regardent et s’en vont en trombe, dans un nuage de déception et de colère. Les amis vampires sont censés tomber éperdument amoureux d’un seul regard, mais les miens ne me veulent pas.

Fletcher – Mon frère jumeau Flynn a toujours été mon meilleur ami et mon plus grand allié. Pendant cinq cent douze ans, nous avons combattu côte à côte dans des batailles d'innombrables fois. Nous défendons farouchement notre famille, notre clan et les uns les autres. Cependant, Flynn peut aussi être ma plus grande irritation. Nous nous aimons profondément, comme des frères devraient le faire, mais nous nous battons aussi comme des chats et des chiens. Bien que nous nous ressemblions, nos personnalités varient énormément ; je suis pensif et pratique tandis que Flynn est insouciant et idiot. Nos différences ont provoqué de nombreuses disputes entre nous, mais nous nous arrangeons toujours. Flynn et moi voyageons ensemble en Espagne pour la commémoration du lien du prince, et là nous rencontrons notre compagnon. Et oui, j'ai dit compagnon. Comme au singulier. Un homme pour mon frère et moi. La jalousie éclate et les esprits s'échauffent ; comment est-ce possible ? Pouvons-nous mettre de côté notre égoïsme et donner à notre compagnon l'amour qu'il mérite, ou s'agira-t-il d'une rupture qui finira par nous séparer tous ?

🖋
Alors que je parcourais la foule, le même sentiment étrange qui m'avait tourmenté pendant des jours est revenu avec la plus grande intensité. Mon cœur battait fort, mon cerveau tournait et mes doigts picotaient. Quelque chose d'important était sur le point de se produire. Et pourtant, je n'en avais pas peur. Quoi que ce soit, je savais instinctivement que c'était quelque chose de merveilleux.

Et puis je l'ai vu. En un instant, tout a pris un sens : pourquoi mon pouls s'emballait et ma respiration était superficielle. Pourquoi les poils de ma nuque se dressaient sur ma nuque. Pourquoi mes crocs s'allongeaient et ma queue s'épaississait en prévision de la prise et de la revendication. Après plus de cinq cents ans d'attente pour lui, mon compagnon se tenait juste de l'autre côté de la pièce.

Et mon Dieu, qu'il était beau. Il semblait être plus petit que moi de plusieurs centimètres et mince, même si je savais qu'en tant que vampire, il aurait une grande force. Ses cheveux étaient blonds et semblaient à la fois ébouriffés et coiffés. Sa peau était claire, ses mâchoires étaient lisses et il avait les yeux verts les plus époustouflants que j'aie jamais vus. Ses lèvres boudeuses s'étiraient lentement en un large sourire alors qu'il me regardait. C'est enfin arrivé.

« Fletch », m'étranglai-je en attrapant le poignet de mon frère, sans quitter mon magnifique homme des yeux. Ma voix était rauque et rauque d'excitation. « Fletch, mon compagnon est là. J'ai trouvé mon compagnon ! »

« Tu plaisantes, répondit-il d’une voix aussi rauque que la mienne. Mon pote est là aussi. »

Mon cœur battait deux fois plus vite. Non seulement j'étais ravie de trouver enfin l'homme que j'aimerais et que je protégerais toute ma vie, mais mon frère avait également trouvé le sien. Mon compagnon et mon frère, les deux hommes qui comptaient plus pour moi que tout, allaient avoir une vie remplie de bonheur. C'était presque trop de joie à supporter. Je serais éternellement reconnaissante à la famille royale d'avoir réuni autant de vampires au même endroit.

« Je voudrais aller lui parler », continua Fletcher, « mais mes pieds sont coincés. Je suis fascinée par ses beaux yeux émeraude. »

« Mon compagnon a aussi les yeux verts », répondis-je avec enthousiasme. Je n’étais pas surprise que le destin nous ait jumelés avec des hommes aux attributs identiques. Bien que Fletcher et moi soyons très différents sur de nombreux points, nous étions semblables sur d’autres et partagions des goûts similaires en matière d’hommes. Dommage pour Fletcher que j’aie gagné le jackpot des compagnons et que j’aie eu le plus bel homme de tous. « Yeux verts et cheveux couleur paille ; juste la bonne longueur pour y enfoncer mes doigts. » Est-ce que je me vantais ? Oui. Mais Fletcher avait son propre compagnon sur lequel baver, alors je ne me sentais pas coupable.

« Mon pote a aussi les cheveux blonds », répondit-il, même si sa voix n’était pas aussi excitée que la mienne. Elle était plutôt… suspicieuse. « Que porte ton pote ? »

« Il porte un costume anthracite qui lui va comme un gant, avec une cravate et un mouchoir de poche assortis à ses yeux. »

« Ce n’est pas le moment de faire une de tes blagues », dit Fletcher dans un murmure furieux. Même si les vampires qui nous entouraient avaient l’ouïe aussi fine que la nôtre, tout le monde était captivé par leurs propres conversations et ne nous prêtait aucune attention.

« De quoi tu parles ? » J'ai finalement quitté mon pote des yeux pour regarder le regard noir que mon frère me lançait.

« L'homme dont tu parles est mon pote. Tu as vu la façon dont je le regardais et tu as décidé de me baiser ? Ce n'est pas drôle, Flynn. Cet homme est celui qui détient mon cœur. Je n'apprécie pas que tu te moques de notre lien. »

Je clignai des yeux, incrédule. « Tu as raison, ce n'est pas drôle. Cet homme est l'amour de ma vie et je vais aller le réclamer tout de suite . »

« Bon sang , tu es en train de foutre ça », a-t-il rétorqué en me saisissant le bras et en me maintenant immobile.

« Tu veux qu'on fasse ça dehors ? » Je lui botterais les fesses ici même, mais je ne voulais pas faire de scène devant la famille royale.

« Avec plaisir . »

Nous sommes sortis du hall principal ensemble. Une fois dans le couloir et après avoir fermé la porte derrière nous, Fletcher m'a attrapé par les épaules et m'a jeté contre le mur. « T'es un sale connard, tu le sais ? » a-t-il craché. « Mon pote ne voudrait jamais de toi, espèce de pastille de pet au goût de jobby. »

Oh, c'est parti. On savait que nos disputes étaient sérieuses quand l'accent écossais devenait plus fort et que les insultes se faisaient entendre. « Ton cul est au vent, espèce de connard ! » ai-je crié en retour.Mon poing heurta la mâchoire de Fletcher. J'eus un sourire satisfait au bruit du craquement avant qu'elle ne se répare.

Fletcher essuya le sang de sa bouche avec le dos de sa main avant de m'enfoncer son poing dans le nez. Une douleur intense me frappa lorsque le cartilage se brisa avant de se refermer rapidement et le sang coula sur mes lèvres, puis sécha instantanément. Il pointa un doigt vers mon visage et dit : « Que ton pénis se réduise à la taille d'un bâtonnet à cocktail. »

Je le poussai par terre, souriant tandis que sa tête rebondissait sur le carrelage. « Elle serait toujours deux fois plus grosse que la tienne, n'est-ce pas, imbécile ? »

" Tu es un idiot si tu penses que ta bite s'approche de mon pote !"

« Il est à moi ! » m'exclamai-je en me jetant sur lui. Le temps des insultes était révolu.

Nous étions une masse de poings et de jambes qui s'agitaient tandis que nous roulions ensemble sur le sol. Nous nous sommes tous les deux livrés de bons coups, coups de poing, coups de pied et coups de tête sans retenue. Ce n'était pas la première fois que nous nous battions comme ça, et j'étais sûr que ce ne serait pas la dernière.

Comme pour le reste de nos combats, personne n'a vraiment gagné. Nous avons guéri instantanément de nos blessures, donc nous nous sommes battus comme des fous jusqu'à ce que nous soyons fatigués et que nous ayons surmonté certaines de nos frustrations. Nous étions allongés l'un à côté de l'autre sur le sol, notre respiration difficile et nos vêtements et nos corps couverts de sang.

Fletcher semblait beaucoup plus calme en me regardant. « Est-ce vraiment ton compagnon ? »

« Oui, c'est vrai », ai-je hoché la tête. « Et il est vraiment à toi ? »

"Oui."

« Eh bien, putain. » Je me frottai le visage avec la main, faisant couler un peu de sang séché. « Désolé pour la bagarre. C'est juste que quand je vous ai imaginé tous les deux ensemble… » ​​Je ne pus finir ma phrase à cause du grognement qui résonna dans ma poitrine.

« Crois-moi, je comprends. » Fletcher poussa un soupir. « On ne peut pas y retourner. Non seulement on est couverts de sang et on a l'air d'un désastre, mais on va s'entretuer si on s'approche trop de lui. Qu'est-ce qu'on va faire, bon sang ? »

« On pourrait lui parler à tour de rôle pendant que l’autre reste à l’écart », suggérai-je, mais le grognement de Fletcher me fit comprendre qu’il ne trouvait pas l’idée aussi brillante que moi. « Quoi, tu ne veux pas que je sois seule avec lui ? »

« Tu veux que je sois seule avec lui ? »

« Putain non. » Il n'y avait aucune chance que je reste loin d'eux pendant qu'ils faisaient Dieu sait quoi.

« Et bien, voilà. »

« Comment est-ce possible ? » demandai-je en regardant le plafond. Aucun de nous n'avait fait le moindre geste pour se relever du sol. Je n'avais jamais entendu parler de deux vampires ayant le même compagnon. Depuis que j'étais petite, on m'avait dit que chaque vampire se verrait attribuer son seul véritable compagnon par le destin. Je ne m'attendais pas à ce que cela arrive et je ne savais pas comment gérer la situation.

« Nous avons besoin de conseils, répondit Fletcher. Je propose que nous demandions conseil au roi et à la reine demain, une fois la fête terminée. Peut-être pourront-ils nous éclairer sur notre situation et nous donner des conseils. »

« Bonne idée », ai-je hoché la tête, reconnaissante du sens pratique et de l’intelligence de mon frère. Ce serait dur et physiquement douloureux de rester loin de mon compagnon jusqu’au matin, mais nous avions besoin d’aide pour ne pas tout gâcher avec lui ou l’embarrasser devant tout le royaume. J’ai soupiré à nouveau. « Il est vraiment magnifique, n’est-ce pas ? »

« La plus belle créature que j'ai jamais vue », répondit Fletcher rêveusement.

« J'aimerais connaître son nom. » J'aimerais savoir comment appeler l'homme qui visiterait mes rêves ce soir.

« Ne t'inquiète pas, mon frère. Demain nous apportera des réponses. »

Content Warnings for book: Gun violence, blood

Kink: Bondage, group sex

Twice Bitten by Jayda Marx is the final in the Javier Coven series, featuring Sam and the twins Flynn and Fletcher. We get ourselves a MMM romance where the twins have romantic feelings for Sam, but not with each other.

This was a funny read because the antics of the vampires and Sam's humor are hilarious to me. I chuckled a lot and enjoyed the back and forth. These two come together in typical Jayda fashion: just a moment of sadness and then it is all fixed up. There's a lot more jealousy between the twins than I expected, which was interesting. However, I found the sex scenes lacking a tad in feeling all the details of whatever was doing was included.

I'm sad to see this found vampire family come to an end, but thankfully there's a spin-off where we see them again!

[Theresa · Rating 1 out of 5]

Really disappointed in this long waited installment. Extremely bad sex - dull and repetitive and not menage-like. Sam was always the power bottom directing Flynn and Fletcher.

The setting constantly changed as the trio jetsetted around the world. Really wanted to see them settle down and do every day stuff and develop their relationship. BTW, it was stupid for everyone to go shopping in an American type mall in Spain.

And Sam was always getting hurt. That plot device got old pretty fast.

[Amos24601 · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a wonderful HEA for Sam! He’s always been funny and sweet with a sensitive side. Fletcher and Flynn were perfect for him and complimented him completely. Once Fletch and Flynn got over their jealousy issues, everything fell into place. What a sweet and sexy book!

Looking forward to stories from the Duff Clan.

DNF.
2 vamp brothers Flynn and Fletcher find a mate.

i love Jayda, but it's a no from me this time. Unlikable character Sam and bastian. Very early in the book Milo (Sam's friend) says that bastian's length is so big, it was a job to handle that. Sam pretends he doesn't know anything about it but confesses to the reader that he knows abt his dick becuz they have hooked up in the past (probably before bastian ended up with Milo) and he had told him not to say anything about it to Milo.

You owe it to your friend to tell him and come clean about anything you did with your friend's mate. Hiding it just seems like cheating to me. How can i look at Milo & bastian and not think about this seditious affair?

Thank goodness i didn't read book 2 either. If i found this out after reading the book, i would've cried a lot! No thank you.

Vampire love

I didn't like Sam in previous books because he was a good friend to Ben but very disrespectful to Ben's mate and coven master Dante. His behavior was outrageous and he was brave and loyal as he took bullets for both Ben and Milo, human mate to Dante's best friend and coven second in command. On a trip to Spain to meet the Vampire King and Queen he is publicly honored for saving Ben's life and gaining their gratitude. Sam's reputation as a man whore is over when Fate gives him two Scottish brothers as mates. (We find out what is under their kilts.) Sam is shot in head pushing Ben to safety and we are faced with Sam and both his mates dying as a result. You will have to read the book to find out what happens. Good book, highly recommended.

Sam is my spirit animal

Ok! It's official! Sam is definitely my spirit animal! That boy! This third installment in the Javier Coven series is absolutely perfect! I love that while each book centers around one of the couples, all the books are intertwined and literally just continue the story. You get to really know each of the characters individually, as well as collectively, and it makes the entire series that much more addicting. Jayda Marx is absolutely a one-click author for me. If she writes it, I read it, end of story! I'm eagerly awaiting the next series, which will feature Callum and the Scottish Coven. Amazing book!

0.5 (if i could rate a 0 i would)

I got a lil bit frustrated by this book unfortunately. it was difficult to get through and i probably should’ve just DNF’d but whatever. ig looking back there was a lil bit of humor but mostly bc i have never met anyone who considered the scottish accent sexy so that confused me for a bit but now i know.

Overall: Low angst, instalove/fated mates story, pretty self indulgent ig. I personally just didn’t consider it very well written or of good quality 😔 And the romantic relationship was not great especially for an MMM.

rereadability: 1/10 (would really rather not, i struggled to get through it the first time)

[Reader Babe · Rating 5 out of 5]

So fun! All of the characters from the first two books in the series played a big role and it was great to see everyone back in action. Ben and Dante were super sweet as always, Bastian was protective over his man Milo and Sam was feisty, naughty and so funny! I loved seeing into their worlds again and that they stayed true to themselves. Flynn and Fletcher were a hoot. They argued and bickered but looked after one another at the same time. They were perfect for Sam and the three of them were fire together. Great end to the series.

Feisty

I really love Sam and his feisty self. He is just fabulous and I am really happy reading about him finding his mates. We all knew that he would need more than one because of how sassy he is. I absolutely love how devoted he is to his friends and family and I always laugh when he gets going. I was excited to meet Flynn and Fletcher they are the perfect compliment to Sam one to help in the shenanigans and one to keep them both grounded and not get too carried away. What a fabulous way to end the series.

[Debra · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty good but.....

The story was pretty good overall and I was happy to see Sam find his mates but there seemed to be some inconsistencies in the story that didn't follow the previous two books. I thought that after a vampire found their mate they could only feed from their mate? In this book they visited the blood bank after they mated and also Sam was fed by Ben after as well. His mates also fed from others. This threw me off a bit. It was such a major part of the first two stories but then seemed to have been left out of the last book.

[Jackie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Omg loved!!

Sam is awesome and was so happy he got his HEA. So sad for him when he thought they were rejecting him when they were just seeking out answers. Loved how they all balanced one another. They each have to the flip side of Sam, the funny silly side and the serious caring side. The scene where all the tension hits. Omg. I almost was in tears watching the twins fade realizing they were losing their love. I KNEW what was happening when callum stumbled carrying one of the boys. And we get his story next!

It irritates how he wants to wrap it with a fancy layer just to avoid incest! But you know what, it is!! So just write the shit right, dont try to sell it fancy. Whoever comes here, knows better to judges. So if you want to write dirty, write it right. Damn, I really get annoyed every time they insist on showing it otherwise.
If you don't like incest, don't write it. Just don't ruin it, damn it. Every time they mention it's disgusting I wanna punch someone!

یاد این فیلم های قدیمی ایرانی افتادم که ته هموشون همه ازدواج می‌کردند! خخخخخ

I had high hopes for this book but Flynn and fletcher were so off putting. It would have been better if they were just two random dude. It didn’t really feel like a trouple, more like two dude that liked the same guy and tolerated each other. It was just not working for me and their way they were always bickering. I understand that the author tried to incorporate fun slang but there were so many different works that they all kind of went over my head, even with the translations in the front of the book. It was a disappointing end to the series.

I loved Sam and he deserved better.

Fantastic


I loved this book. I'm so glad Sam found his mates. His story made me laugh and cry. The twins are something else. So funny. Loved the Scottish slang insults. Loved the steamy scenes. This is a must read. It will leave you warm and fuzzy. If you love paranormal romance, you'll love Twice Bitten. Please read Once Bitten and Twice Shy before you read Twice Bitten to get the full effect. Love all the characters.

Loved it!!

Awwww! Flynn, Fletcher and Sam’s story was the perfect ending to the Javier Coven series! Sam is definitely my favorite character as he continuously proves how fun, snarky, and brave he is. He is definitely too much for only one man.

I love that Jayda provides images of the main characters as well as some of the accessories mentioned in the books on her Facebook page, Jayda Marx Books, as this helps me visualize what I’m reading.

Ben and Dante, the couple from previous books, have a wedding reception at Dante's parents' castle. Sam, Ben's BFF, attends. Two vampire brothers from Scotland also attend. They both see Sam at the same time and get into a physical fight over him. I didn't really like this plot at all because the brothers could barely be around each other without fighting. It was more like they were just stuck with the same mate, rather than being happy about it.

Omg this series just gets better..Sam finds not only one but two mates..and they are brothers...kilt wearing brothers..Fletcher and Flynn and total hotties....and they bicker and fight with each other which is adorable..They quickly realise that Sam is their mate...though they don't go together they all three together are just perfect...I'll definitely be re-reading this series x
