I'm not rating till I finish all of the stories.
EDIT: only got as far as 2 stories.
KATES CREW - 1st story
Sex 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Story 💫
Overall ⭐⭐
Holy shit, the sex in here is HOLY FUCKING SHIT. Six, fucking SIX people in one hot fucking scene. I just can't, it was . . . I just can't, but . . . Alexa, what's a synonym for "cringe"? The dialogue pulled me back, it was so bad. When one of them spoke I just skipped till I didn't see anymore quotes. The idea was awesome, all sexual scenes were truly insane, better and better as you read through it. I don't remember anything else about the story, outside of the sex, the cringe, oh wait, yes, the storyline was ass. I remember not wanting to remember that.
KING COBRA - 2nd story
Sex 🔥🔥🔥
Story
Overall 💫
This was bad. This was so bad. Everyone is lurking in the shadows watching people fucking. Random as fuck people are getting fucked more than the main characters. The dialogue omg the fucking dialogue!!! Holy shit, that was fucking torture. Not a single character was worth a second thought. The goddamn dramatics! Fuck.
I just fucking can't read the rest of the stories. Nope, sex ain't worth it!

Oh, what a collection of firsts! A real treat for the senses.
Kate's Crew - Power Tools
We begin with Kate, the girl next door to a delicious bunch of man candy, working on a reno. All summer long the tension builds, as Kate tries to remain distant, while getting less and less sleep!
Accidents happen on the work site, and this one sets off the crew.
The series starts out hot and carries on smoking your senses through all seven books. Definitely a must have bundle.
King Cobra - Power Tools - Hot Rods
We get a glimpse of the crew as they're asked for their advice. Eli and Alonso are feeling their way in their newly formed relationship. Best friends for years, they are branching out and acting on their feelings.
Sally gets her world rocked and turns to the ladies in her life for guidance.
This is the start of the Hot Rods and I can't wait to read the rest.
WILD RIDE Powertools: Hot Rides, Book 1
Wild Ride is just that - a wild ride of emotions.
Just imagine finding yourself attracted to a fellow only to find he's married. Then to meet the wife and find you are attracted to her as well. Some marriages are unconventional. Hell, Jayne is the expert on stories about unconventional love!
Quinn helps out Trevon and feels a pull, which he forces himself to ignore, as best as he can. Trevon and Devra are grateful for the help Quinn offers.
Conversation is crucial! Whatever the issue, situation or thought- converse.
Great start to the series with a good dose of overlap in characters from some of the other creations of Jayne.
Screwed: Powertools
So fun to see the gang back again! Life is all about moving forward. Joe is conflicted because he's got the opportunity to make a big move and he's not sure how to share it with Morgan or how it will affect them, their family and their Crew.
This one had me in tears more often but also some real good laughs. So touching and sad, but excited for Joe and Morgan's new adventure.
Another great start to another Rylon series.
IF you haven't read any of Jayne's books, this is a great start - a bundle of firsts to whet your appetite!

1. Kate's Crew (Powertools: The Original Crew, Book 1), 3 stars
Kate falls after being distracted by the men working on the house beside hers. She ends up sleeping with one of them, & then confesses that she’d like to sleep with all of them... & this wish becomes reality.
This was a very quick story, going straight to the action, really. The beginning is funny (when she falls). However, condoms should have been included in their adventures.
2. King Cobra (Powertools: Hot Rods, Book 1), 2.5 stars
Eli wants to sleep with some good friends at work, but needs to find Alanso when he leaves in a hurry. Then Eli finds more than he bargained for... This is about friends having fun exploring each other in various positions & there’s some talk about what this means to them now.
3. Wild Ride (Powertools: Hot Rides, Book 1), 4 stars
Trevon & Devra are married, but have never slept together. The first time they do sleep together is as a part of a threesome with Quinn, who helps them by directing what they do.
This is an interesting story, even though it doesn’t seem to be realistic at all...
4. Screwed (Powertools: The Original Crew Returns, Book 1), 3 stars
Joe feels something is missing in his life, despite his good relationship with his wife & best friends. Life brings some changes to the characters, but it seems weird that Joe didn’t want to move his family away from his cousins. Some of the scenes between the characters seemed a bit strange.

Overall, first story hit the sex right but left dialogue and story wanting, but not bad. Kinda nice to have exploration into sexual desires just for the sake of it and that’s what I felt for the main character (though that pool scene seems like it’d take real pros at underwater breathing to pull off and not something any everyday person could hope to match).
Second was just angsty that didn’t satisfy in story or sex. Like a setup to more that we as readers never got to see. So just a lot of emotion and no payoff.
Third was better at relatable story and sex. Just enough attention characters to care about them and pacing to the story that it wasn’t bogged down and great sex description thrown in. Worked the best of all the stories.
Last was just all more angsty overthinking monologues (though sometimes relatable just want on WAY too long) with a bunch of sex that always had to MEAN something, like every physical touch has to have layers of meaning and that’s just too much for me and was the complete opposite of the first story. It’s like the characters, who are the same as the first story, unlike other people in real life, never have sex for simple pleasure because it’s all and always tied into emotions

Tool Time: (Powertools #1 included) by Jayne Rylon – This is an omnibus of series starters. You get the first book in four different series to taste test, and I had fun with all four books! Happy Reading!
Kate's Crew (Powertools Book 1) by Jayne Rylon – This is a freebie series starter, and I kinda want the rest of the series already! Super sweet ending! Happy Reading!
King Cobra by Rayne Rylon – This is a freebie series starter, and this series might even be better than the first one. I really want to hear Sally’s story! Happy Reading!
Wild Rides – This is a freebie series starter, but it makes more sense if you have read the tie in pair of series that precede it. It gave me all the feels though!!! Happy Reading!
Screwed – This is a freebie series starter, but it’s a continuation from other series and doesn’t stand alone well. I like that it reunites you with characters and gives you a window into their lives as mature adults not just 20 somethings falling in love. Happy Reading!

Kate's Crew
Yummy - this was a quick read and hot story! Kate and her crew will leave you short of breath and panting for more, luckily, this is the first of the series, so there is much more to keep you satisfied!!
King Cobra
What an awesome introduction to new group of...umm.. buddies! The story focuses on settling the relationship between Eli and Alanso and laying the groundwork for the polyamourous activities to follow - can't wait!!
Wild Ride
Hot and sexy, emotional and touching, this book got better and better the more I read it, and I didn’t want it to end!
Screwed
How can my heart break and still be full of happiness? Joe and Morgan have a lot to figure out in this book, and while they are tentatively taking steps, it still doesn’t feel settled. I loved connecting with the crew again, and even though they made me cry sometimes, being with them again was awesome

I got this as a freebie and I wasn't disappointed however there is a small part of me that wishes I had read each series in full instead of just 1 tale from the four interconnected series of stories.
Kate's Crew changed gear really quickly and it put me off a little but I then enjoyed King Cobra. However I absolutely adored Wild Ride and Quinn, Trevon and Devra. I definitely fell for Quinn and his selflessness.
This book ends with Screwed which was the reason I said I'd rather have read a full series as this looks at the guys from Kate's Crew but years down the line.
I will be finishing these series without a doubt, I enjoyed Jayne Rylon's style and some of these guys were definitely hot.

I have read each of these books and I enjoyed each of them. The characters are awesome and the stories are well written. I have become a fan of Jayne Rylon and I think you will become one also with this collection. A couple of these are quick easy reads but some of her books you need to take your time reading you just might miss something. Please remember these are Ménage and there are M/M actions so please if this isn't something you like to read this isn't for you.

Very hot, and well written
I enjoyed all of the characters in these books, they are well thought out.the sex is scorching.
There are a couple of things that but me, but not enough to turn me off. The stories span decades, and if there are more, they should be read in order.
S
It is billed as a Menage/RH anthology, but it's a chosen family bi-sex (at least on the mens parts) swingers group. There is no RH in the books. The "swinging" is used to grow closer as a unit.

Wow 🥵🔥🥵🔥🥵🔥
So I’ve got to say I absolutely love this collection but if I had known it was only the 1st book in each series I probably wouldn’t have read this collection!!!! I honestly wished the rest of the books aren’t as expensive!!!! There’s just no way I can afford an additional charge on top of what I already pay monthly!!!! But I’ve got to say this author is absolutely phenomenal!!!!!

I really love these books. Every book has a complex storyline that can be read alone but fits into the larger series. The stories are steamy but also have a great love story behind them. I can’t wait for the next book from Jayne.
March 17, 2021
Jayne Rylon is an amazing author of all things steamy, erotic menage, yet very romantic and all of her books show how each can fall in love with 1, 2 or more yet having each others backs when and where needed. Love reading her books😍😍😍😍

So hot
I have read all the books separately. In paperback. Hot, dirty. And couples who totally love each other. They get each other in the way. That they understand each others needs. With no judgement.

The first book in this is hot, but a bit over the top. However I have noticed that short stories tend to burn fast and hot, and fast is not really my speed.
The second book was more MM than menage, and as hot as it can be, MM turns out to not really be my jam.

4 series starters (of interconnected series). Some of these I liked better than others. The third one, Wild Ride, was by far my favorite of the four.

This is four books in one. Each one stand alone but also slightly interconnected. Very hot and steamy, if you are not into erotica and reverse harem this is not for you.
Great stories and great characters. The sex is hot hot hot!
Well worth the read, loved the group sex scenes written very well.
Not read anything by this author before but will look out for books by her in the future.
