Review I liked:
MC's Ella Marchand 26, Kingson Tyler 41, Sebastian Crown 43.
Main Events:
Ella finds a note suggesting Tommy is being held for ransome. She calls the police but they tell her there is nothing they can do. She discovers her brother has a girlfriend who is pregnant with his child and is due anytime. She receives ransome notes demanding $75 grand. She informs her boyfriends, the police and Ironwood securities. She gives Gianna Tommy's girlfriend a baby shower at the University and a fake bomb goes off near her. The police are called in and Ella couldn't hear for awhile after the blast. She receives a text. Saying now do you think we are serious.
Sebastian helps Ella with some of her compositions and uploads them on line. She get overs 200,000 followers. Both King and Bash try to encourage her to give up her Maids in Heaven cleaning job and focus on her singing songwriting career. Sebastian gets a new agent and they sign Ella too. Her agent gets her a gig at an exclusive club and she performs live. Her music us uploaded online and she gets even more followers. King and Bash give Ella a special necklace with all their names engraved and two charm infinity rings. There is a lock on it. Ella missed her period and thinks she might be pregnant. She buys a couple of tests and she isn't. King finds the tests in the garbage and asks her about them. She shares and the throuple talk about having children altogether in the future. Gianna invites Ella for a sleepover as she is near her time for delivery. The bodyguards go with her. Rick one of the bodyguards really works for the loan sharks and knocks out the other security guards and a van with two other come to the apartment and kidnap Gianna and Ella taking them to a warehouse in the industrial area of the city where Tommy is being held captive. Now the kidnappers just want their money and probably more for Ella too. Ironwood Securities discovered one of the clients of Tyler Analytics owns the underground gambling ring and is behind these kidnappings. King and Bash tackle the investor and underground gambling kingpin and King ends up with a gunshot wound and is hospitalized. All the bad guys go to jail. Tommy and Gianna have a baby boy and Tommy gets a job. Ella and Bash stay by his bedside. When he is released and rested up both King and Bash surprise Ella with a baby grand piano. She is so elated and grateful the three make out on the piano.
Review I liked:
Honestly, if I could give it 4.75 stars, I would, because there were a couple of really minor editing issues in this one (not nearly as many as in the third segment) and there were a few sections editor!me would have sent back for clarification/change (again, not as many as in the third segment and most people probably wouldn't even notice them) and then that glaring "WHY IS NO ONE ASKING ABOUT THAT GUY??" moment towards the end that made me want to smack some fictional folk. But it's close enough to five stars to justify giving it that. So I am.
This segment is where Ella finally gets it, where she really and truly understands and believes that her Daddies aren't going to just abandon her one day. She also finally has some success with her career choices. And the whole asshole brother story line is resolved.
All in all, I enjoyed the entire story of Ella and her two Daddies. I enjoyed the writing style and voice well enough that I'll ... probably... pick up more books by Calista Jayne. (Ignoring the first person pov and serial things, because ugh.) I'm always happy when I can read something I generally don't like and the author somehow makes me enjoy it. Especially well enough that I give five stars AND write reviews (two things I don't usually do).
Again, content warning for language and sex. Lots of kinky sex. (I'm pretty sure anyone tripping over this series is looking for that, but it still should be said.)
And I would still recommend the entire serial for those who wouldn't be offended by it.
