About the author
Ellie Devine
5 books18 followersEllie Devine has been writing for as long as she could hold a pencil. From childhood inventions about magical sisters living in the forest (inspired by playing pretend with her friends) to a 65,000-word Little Mermaid retelling on fictionpress.net completed her senior year of high school (no, she won’t tell you what it’s called), Ellie has always loved writing stories with a lot of heart and a little bit of magic.
She enjoys romance (obviously), K dramas (obsessively) and crying about how much she loves the ocean. She lives in Chicago with her cats, Ham and Hades (and yes, they DO have an Instagram @HamAndHades).

Sometimes, you don't know who you are until you step out of your comfort zone! Cole needed to escape the nosy gossipy small town in which he spent his life. His parents were a heavy weight on his life. He was homesick, but the thought of answering why he wasn't married to a nice girl, growing babies had him choosing the lesser of evils.He was picked up by Arianna and her Sir. Cole, instinctively reacted to Grant/Sir's commands. Grant was devoted to Arianna. They'd been together 10 years. They introduced Cole to their way of life and invited him in. Did Cole enjoy their lifestyle? Was he ready to embrace his parents loving him, but not accepting him? Was Cole ready to make the hard decisions of who he really is? Did Grant and Arienne see Cole as more than just a holiday distraction? Story was nice. I received an ARC from Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This MMF Christmas novella follows a lonely baker from a small town and his meeting of a sexy married couple. Lots of holiday-themed BDSM fun is had by all.
Arianna and Grant have an amazing D/s relationship. Arianna runs into Cole while Christmas shopping and she knows that she wants this cuddly lumberjack look-alike for Christmas this year. Grant always gets Arianna what she wants.
This is a love story. An incredibly hot, touching, hot cocoa-flavored love story about found families and subverting convention for your own happiness.
This read is a heartwarming book that I’ll pull out every holiday.

I absolutely loved this read from start to finish. This read is *steamy*, with more sex scenes than I thought would be possible in a 295 page book - but that's what I was expecting based on what I've heard from other readers. What I wasn't expecting was how much emotion and character growth we get packed into those same pages. Devine does a great job at making all 3 of our MCs fully rounded characters, but Cole is obviously the main-main character. I absolutely loved how much of a cinnamon roll Cole is and how Grant and Arianna make Cole feel safe enough to finally be able to be his true self.

Loved this MMF ménage love story. Cole it only finds fun in Chicago he also finds love with not just one but two people. And it just so happens that the two people are a married couple. This book was definitely steamy! But it also has a sweet love story mixed in. I could put this book down once I started it! And I’m looking forward to reading more from this author in the future.

I stumbled upon this title thanks to this tweet I stumbled upon a few days ago by Jennifer Porter: "Just finished Ellie Devine’s Cole. What an absolute delight. It is full of the sweetest, yet kinky and hot sex. This one is a mmf romance with a married M and F couple and Cole. Grant is the dominant partner with both Arianna and Cole being submissive."

It is all this and more. I loved it!

What a fabulous book! The author manages to pack in character development, smut, and some feels into a novella. It left me wanting to know more about each character and give Cole a big hug. And oh my lord the sex! Well written light bdsm that included consent and safety. 10/10 for me. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Too explicit for me but I really appreciated the story that Ellie was trying to tell about found families and acceptance
