Una Esposa Secreta para las Fuerzas Especiales

by Krista Wolf

Cuando el amigo de la infancia más atractivo de mi hermano me llama para invitarme a Hawái, me deja intrigada. Pero ¿qué debo hacer yo, una chica de la fría Minnesota, cuando me entero de que él y sus dos compañeros de piso de las Fuerzas Especiales necesitan que finja ser su «esposa»?

Jace tiene todo aquello con lo que una chica podría soñar: un metro noventa de puro músculo envuelto en camuflaje de los Boinas Verdes y equipo táctico militar. También ayuda que su amplio pecho esté decorado con un arcoíris completo de galones y medallas. O que sus dos amigos más íntimos, Merrick y Aurelius, también sean sus hermanos de armas, cuyos lazos inseparables se forjaron en el fragor candente del combate.

Pero Jace necesita un favor... y ese favor requiere de mí. Su libertad depende de una mentira piadosa y, con la ayuda de sus compañeros de piso, tenemos que hacer creer que somos un matrimonio feliz.

Sin embargo, la vida con tres soldados musculosos y atractivos está llena de riesgos. Merrick es un piloto de helicópteros de primera y tiene los hombros torneados, ojos azules ardientes y una sonrisa seductora. Y Aurelius es SEAL de la marina y tiene el cuerpo esculpido como un dios griego y un acento tan exótico que me derrite entera cada vez que estoy a su lado.

Resulta que esos chicos necesitan sus propios favores, y yo estoy encantada de ayudar. Pero además guardan un secreto que me pone muy nerviosa: al igual que en el resto de cosas de su pequeño universo cerrado, a este trío de soldados les gusta compartir.

¿Puede una chica solitaria de Minnesota caer rendida realmente ante el mejor amigo de su hermano y sus dos increíbles compañeros de piso? ¿O está destinado al fracaso mi «matrimonio» secreto incluso antes de que empiece la luna de miel?

UNA ESPOSA SECRETA PARA LAS FUERZAS ESPECIALES es un romance de harén inverso militar lleno de suspense, humor y amor lo suficientemente caliente, por partida triple, como para derretir tu kindle y convertirlo en un montón burbujeante de plástico y cristal (la autora no se hace responsable de los kindles derretidos). ¡Final feliz garantizado!

I really quite enjoyed this R/H story, great characters that gelled well together.
Their was some wonderful chemistry going on making for some very steamy scenes, so get a cold glass of water ready.

I enjoyed the addition of the brother who wasn’t into accepting the relationship too, he was a good fly in the ointment.

The ending felt a little rushed I would say that was my only downer on this book.
I thought the writing was great.

Secret Wife to the Special Forces by Krista Wolf ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



I love Krista. I do! And she never disappoints me. She's the Queen of Fluffy Reverse Harem and I'm her loyal subject. She has that thing where every single character is so unique and it's amazing how she manages to give us a POV of each one of them.

In this story we're introduced to Dakota, a voice-actor from Minnesota; Jace, Dakota's brother's best friend who is a Green Beret; Aurelius, a Greek God Navy SEAL and Merrick, a kind and lovely Air Force Pilot. Jace, who is stationed at Hawaii, asks Dakota to help him out by pretending she's his wife. But this quickly fades to the background when the guys see themselves craving for the same woman.... and she's craving them all back.

The whole story is hilarious! Sometimes I wish I was there with them, because they seem so cool to party with (and it doesn't hurt that Jace, Aurelius and Merrick are HOT AF). Their struggles are so genuine when it comes to how society and their families are going to handle their relationship and the way that those problems are solved is also real.... And how about that epilogue?? SO STEAMY AND SWEET at the same time! The guys really put Dakota in first, second and third place in their lives and ravish her in a way that melted my kindle mercilessly.

So if you're looking for a sweet and funny reverse harem. This is the one for you!

Whew! This is a sizzling hot reverse harem involving three sexy military men and one amazing women. It starts out with Dakota meeting up with her boyfriend, Brian, for dinner and he's running late, as usual. He arrives twenty minutes late, sits at the table and notices an empty wine glass as well as an empty chair. He starts looking at the menu and suddenly when he puts it, the empty chair is filled with a familiar face . It's the girl he's been cheating on Dakota with. He's stunned speechless and both girls inform him that they're breaking up with him; that don't want anything to do with him and they leave the restaurant together. On her way home she ends up skidding into a ditch and needs her father to come winch her out and chastise her for not putting on her snow tires, after all it is winter in Minnesota. Her Bluetooth phone keeps interrupting her music as she waits for her dad to arrive and she refuses to answer it because it's probably Brian wanting to discuss what just happened. Finally her father pulls her out and she's back on her way when the phone rings again and she's frustrated as she answers it, ready to give Brian a piece of her mind. Lo and behold it isn't Brian but rather Jace, her brother's best friend and someone she basically grew up with. After graduating high school Jace enrolled in the Army, became a Green Beret and made an illustrious career out of it. Jace has a favor to ask her, a large, unorthodox favor. He asks her to come meet him in Hawaii and attend an officers ball as his date. With no other information, she agrees and he flies her out. She gets there and it's a reunion filled with surprises. Jace, who she always had a crush on, has seriously bulked up and is a hot masterpiece, gone is the lithe boy of her youth. Whew! The sexy hotness has definitely kicked up a notch! She finds out that he's told his CO (Commanding Officer) that's he's married and actually showed him pictures of her that he pulled off of her instagram public page. She's speechless and doesn't know what to tell him, especially when she finds out that his CO is his mentor and father figure that he can't bring himself to disappoint. While he's explaining all of this to her, his extremely handsome housemates arrive and are introduced to her. She meets Merrick, the ace Air Force pilot, and Aurelius, the Greek Navy SEAL. Both men are sex on a stick sexy, in fact all three of them are. Eventually she finds out that all three of them consider themselves brothers and they share everything. She approaches them with the idea of them sharing her for the amount of time she is there in Hawaii with them. They agree and the real fun begins. I'll leave you here and you'll have to get the book to discover what happens next. Let's just say that the sexual chemistry is off the charts with this group! Fantastic storyline and strong realistic characters make for a wonderful story. Definitely a must have if you love reverse harems and/or military romances!

This one was kind of a let down. There was virtually no story. No plot. The entire book was the reverse harem meeting up and then entering in a relationship them HEA. That's it. No outside forces to overcome. No mystery plot or dangerous villain to fight against. It was just sex followed by more sex, followed by thinking about sex.

It actually felt like the author had just run out of enthusiasm for writing this story and just cut it off rather than giving it a proper ending. Because nothing actually HAPPENS at the end. And yet, there were several characters who were introduced and given a disproportionately high amount of page time, only for them to just disappear without ever becoming an issue or doing anything, really. So it felt like the author had started laying the ground work for some actual plot earlier on but then just...didn't do anything with it. Lame.


The story opens in a very "I saw this in a movie once" fashion with our heroine, Dakota, at a fancy restaurant with her boyfriend. She's ordered lots of food on his dime and then while he's distracted looking at the menu, his side piece chick sits down at the table. Then both women proceed to give some very stagey dialogue about how he's a douchebag for trying to date both of them and that they're both gorgeous and amazing and have become great friends thanks to his cheating. Then they walk out and stick him with the bill. You've definitely seen that skit in a movie before.

Then Dakota gets a call from Jace, her brother's high school best friend who went into the military. Jace asks her to come to Hawaii but won't really explain why. So she goes, even though she hasn't spoken to Jace in years. Once there, Jace, who is smoking hot and totally ripped now thanks to the military, explains that he told his CO a great big whopping lie that he and Dakota have been dating all this time and actually just got married. Then he says he needs her to go to this officers ball thing with him and pretend to be his wife. It's got to be her because he even showed the CO and assorted other military people Dakota's picture.

No sooner has Dakota arrived at Jace's house than they're set upon by this husband and wife who are apparently military people and are ULTRA nosy about Jace and Dakota's relationship. Like, the wife was really over the top suspicious of the whole thing and insists on coming over for a drink as soon as possible to meet Dakota. They put her off that first night but the couple show up at Jace's house the second night and just invite themselves in for that drink. Then the woman proceeds to comment on the fact that Dakota was wearing her ring today (Jace having shoved it on her finger when he realized who was at the door) and asking why she wasn't wearing it yesterday when she first arrived.

This is actually the last time we see this couple. So this was one of the plot threads that the author injected like they'd be important but then just abandoned. I mean, why was this woman SO nosy about their relationship? Did she want Jace for herself, despite already being married? Was there some other reason?

Jace's goal with bringing Dakota to the officer's ball was to convince his CO to let him leave the military because he was ready to be done, but for some reason didn't feel like he could just quit, even though his tour was over. Instead he felt like he needed to convince his CO that he wanted out because he'd kept his girl Dakota waiting too long already. So, it's not like being married was going to get Jace some kind of special status in the military that this other wife was jealous of or whatever. So, seriously, WTF was her deal? We'll never know.

Moving on, Jace now lives with Aurelius and Merrick, whom he served with in the military. These guys have also decided that they want to be a reverse harem. They've shared several women between them before and decided that's the best thing for them. So they're building a house in the Colorado mountains and are on the hunt for that special girl. And all three of them are HIGHLY attracted to Dakota, both in looks and personality.

Jace, however, has already told them that they can't have Dakota because she's his childhood best friend's sister. Jace was pseudo-adopted as part of their family. He couldn't disrespect his friend and their family by having sex with Dakota himself, let alone sharing her with two other men. So they're hands off. Of course, that swiftly goes out the window when that nosy couple come around and Dakota and Jace kiss as part of their show that they're in love. It's explosive for both of them.

Dakota spends a few days hanging out with the guys and is attracted to all of them. One of the non-Jace guys finally fills her in on the fact that they want to share a girl so that's why they can't do anything with her. She's really thrown by the idea at first but warms up to it very quickly until she just straight up tells them that she wants them to share her. She's not ready to commit to being lifelong partners with the three of them, but she's 100% on board with having a hot, steamy fling while she's in Hawaii with them.

Their first group sex scene was a rather prolonged affair, but Jace gets to have sex with her first, because she's "his girl." This wasn't my favorite aspect of this story since in a reverse harem romance, you want all the men to feel like they're on even footing with the heroine and that she loves them all equally. Her and Jace having this lifelong connection to each other made it so that she would ALWAYS be closer to him than the other two guys she'd just met a few days ago.

Anyway, the officer's ball thing happens and Dakota impresses everyone. Jace talks to his CO afterward who basically says what I'd been thinking all along - that Jace didn't need his permission to get out of the service. Which made the whole charade seem kind of pointless.

The next day, Aurelius has some party with his own military crew to go to and takes her as his date. This seemed like a HORRIBLE idea to me. I mean, how big can the military community on Hawaii freaking be?? She was just at the officer's ball last night, getting seen by dozens of people, professing her undying love for Jace. And now she's going to go to a public bar with a hundred people or so and make out with Aurelius? On what planet would this be a good idea??

After they get super frisky in the public bar, they then go out on a terrace and have sex while pretending to look through one of those coin operated telescope things. People come onto the terrace while they're out there, but they keep having sex like it's no big deal.

Next thing we know, Jace is getting called into his CO's office where the CO tries to gently break it to him that his beloved wife is cheating on him with one of his best friends. Then Jace has to awkwardly explain that he actually knows and is into it. The CO is incredibly chill about that, explaining that "he grew up in the 70s" so he knows all about free love. So, this was another potential plot point that was introduced but then didn't amount to anything.

Fast forward through a bunch of sex scenes and Dakota is back in her hometown in Minnesota. The "fling" is over now but she really misses the men. She meets with the side piece chick from the opening scene, who thinks RHs are mega hot and that Dakota should totally go for a real relationship with them.

Then it's Christmas and Jace just randomly shows up at her parents' house. He's welcomed with open arms, and then Dakota deliberately pours the cream down the drain so that someone will be forced to go out to buy more. Then she drags Jace with her and they find the closest secluded parking lot to have sex in the car. Her brother, Tyler, gives them strange looks when they get back, so they know he's onto them.

Jace leaves after Christmas and then one day Dakota is at home when her douchebag ex shows up. He begs, and then demands, for another chance, trying to insist she let him inside so he can explain. She tries to close the door in his face, but he jams his foot in it and tries to force his way inside. Tyler then happens along and beats the shit out of the ex. And that's the last time we hear about that ex. It was yet another plot point that was introduced, and talked about and given page time, only for nothing to come of it.

I kept expecting the ex to end up serving as the final climax in the story. Like maybe he'd follow her to Colorado when she went to stay with the guys and get so pissed that she was sleeping with 3 men that he tried to abduct her, or hurt one of them, etc. But there's nothing. Hell, she didn't even call the police to report him trying to force his way into her apartment. Nor did he call the police to report Tyler for assaulting him. He was just POOF, gone from the story. What a waste.

After this, Dakota just up and leaves for Colorado. The men welcome her with open arms, they have chapters and chapters of sex, while nothing else is really happening. Then finally Tyler just, shows up at the house one day and sees her being "friendly" with all the men. He's freaked out but Dakota and he go for a walk and she basically tells him to get over it because this is what she wants and he just...does.

And that's the end of the story. Seriously. That's it. The final climax was her brother finding out the truth and being freaked out for about five minutes before deciding to be chill with it. HEA.

Like I said, this one was a disappointment. The lack of plot made this just a mishmash of unconnected scenes rather than a story. What was the point of them being in Hawaii at the beginning? The nosy couple? The officer's ball? Aurelius's party? The douchebag ex? The side piece chick and Dakota becoming friends?

We also didn't really get to know Aurelius or Merrick hardly at all. One night when they were all at the Colorado house, Dakota got up to find Aurelius standing by himself and he just randomly dumped some backstory on her about his family expecting him to come back to live in Greece now that he was out of the service. I guess it was better than no characterization at all, but this speech doesn't GO anywhere. We're never given a reason why they expect him to come back and are ready to disown him if he doesn't. Like, there isn't some family business that he's expected to come back and run or anything like that. They just expect him to be there because, reasons. And that expectation is SO strong that they're going to disown him if he doesn't. And this is never brought up again after this one scene where he lays it all out.

Merrick gets virtually no depth whatsoever. He's just a complete blank slate. We know he's hot and a chopper pilot but that's pretty much it.

Just disappointing to have so many elements introduced but just dropped. So it makes for a pretty unsatisfying read, overall.

2.5⭐️

This one was an okay read but there were a few issues I had.
1) The way Dakota propositions them in the beginning hurt to read, man. It also felt too insta-love(y) for my own taste.

2) All of Dakota’s problems are magically solved with little to no angst. It seems a little unrealistic that every time a problem arises, it’s solved within the same chapter. I was waiting for the big conflict to happen and was sadly disappointed with the end result.

3)Her moans… I’m sorry but I had to skip every time I had to read a “YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS” or “oooHHHhhhhHhh”

4) I barely had a characterization for Merrick, like I barely knew this guy. Jace is a really well-written character (he felt like the main guy which sucks bc this is a RH, there should be no main guy) and I had a basic understanding for Aurelius but Merrick felt like a stranger to me

Wie könnte man diese heiße und flüssig geschriebene Geschichte am besten umschreiben? Lügen haben - zumindest in dieser Geschichte - lange muskulöse Beine. Jace will zusammen mit seinen besten Freunden und Armeekameraden Aurelius und Merrick sich mit einer Sicherheitsfirma vom aktiven Militärdienst verabschieden. Soweit so gut. Die drei leben auf Hawai in der Nähe eine Stützpunktes und haben noch ein-zwei gesellschaftliche Verpflichtungen zu besuchen, bevor sie sich in Colorado mit ihrer Firma niederlassen können. Jace braucht aber die Hilfe von Dakota, die Schwester seines besten Kindheitsfreundes Taylor. Nur hat sich Jace mit der Zeit in Lügengeschichten verstrickt und Dakota als seine Ehefrau ausgegeben. Dakota kommt für zehn Tage nach Hawai um Jace bei dieser Notlüge auszuhelfen und es wird schnell klar, dass es zwischen den beiden richtig funkt. Alle drei Männer haben eine unheimliche Anziehungskraft auf Dakota...und relativ schnell lässt sie sich auf eine gemeinsame sexuelle Beziehung mit allen drei gleichzeitig für die Dauer ihre Urlaubs ein. Die drei Männer suchen allerdings ein Fantasy-Einhorn, eine gemeinsame Freundin.
Mehr werde ich nicht verraten. Eine kurzweilige sexy Geschichte. Ich mag Krista Wolfs Bücher und dieses hat mich entzückt. Eine schöne heiße Weihnachtslektüre.

How best to describe this hot and fluidly written story? Lies have long muscular legs - at least in this story. Jace, along with his best friends and army buddies Aurelius and Merrick, wants to say goodbye to active military service by starting a security company. So far so good. The three live in Hawaii near a military base and have one or two social engagements to attend before they can settle down in Colorado with their company. Jace, however, needs the help of Dakota, the sister of his best childhood friend Taylor. Over time, Jace has gotten caught up in falsehoods and passed Dakota off as his wife. Dakota comes to Hawai for ten days to help Jace out with this white lie and it quickly becomes clear that there is a real spark between the two. All three men have a strong sexual attraction to Dakota...and relatively quickly she settles into a joint sexual relationship with all three of them simultaneously for the duration of her vacation. However, the three men are looking for a fantasy unicorn, as they admit, one girlfriend or better wife for all three of them.
That's all I'm going to reveal. This is an entertaining sexy story. I like Krista Wolf's books and this one delighted me. A nice steamy hot Christmas read.

Dakota, Jace, Merrick, and Aurelius

I have read a lot of Krista Wolf books, and I can honestly say that this one not only blew me over but made me laugh out loud. This is my hands down favorite next to Quadruple Duty and Quadruple Duty II -All or Nothing. I read the entire book in one sitting because I just could not put it down.

Between the running jokes, the tension (sexual and otherwise), and the amazing secondary characters, I found myself enjoying the start of a Minnesota winter with the various snow dustings. I loved the insight into multiple military traditions, the bonds between Jace, Merrick, and Aurelius, and how family is the heart of all of it.

This is a book to grab fast and to enjoy. I loved the ARC so much that I picked up a copy for myself. This author knows how to put the humor into sexy and the sexy into ordinary family events. As a holiday read, I found that I wish that she had another one to keep the laughter going. The sexual chemistry is 11 on a scale of 1-10. The emotional journeys for all three parties are satisfying in how they are not quick and easily wrapped up.

I felt completely satisfied as a reader with the warmth generated by this novel.

6 Stars at least!
The book starts with Dakota, our mfc, inviting her boyfriend's ‘on the side girlfriend,’ Naomi, to supper….
And it gets better and better after that. Dakota is a strong woman who doesn’t like being fooled by her now ex-boyfriend, Brian. She and Naomi become good friends over the course of the story. But that’s not even when the book starts to get good.
Dakota gets a call from an old friend that she and her brother were good friends with throughout their childhood, and now Jace needs a favor. He needs a wife—in Hawaii, like, now! He says he is gifting her with a vacation to catch up. He leaves out the wife part until she gets there.
By now, the reader is caught up in a wonderful, all-encompassing storyline that has everything to keep those pages turning—no spoiler alerts from me.
I will tell you that Krista Wolf is a best-selling author for a reason. This book is just one example.
The story alone carries the day. Then let’s talk about the steam…never mind. I couldn’t do it justice. How about the building of love not only from Dakota and Jace, but we soon are introduced to two more roommates that are more like brothers to Jace, Aurelius, and Merrick. This book keeps getting deeper and better the longer I read. I loved every page of it!

Dakota gets a call from her brother’s best friend, who’s lost touch since joining the Army, wanting her to come to Hawaii for a favor. She’s intrigued and goes. What he wants and what happens definitely has her surprised and shocked to say the least. Confronted with three big, strong, sexy military me has her drooling. Jace needs her to pretend to be his wife but then while shopping she finds out he can never fall in love with her or have her. Merrick and Aurelius have slipped and told her what the three of them are looking for and what their plans are. Soooo she decides to have a vacation fling but what happens when you learn of something from the past? Jace, her brother’s best friend, is worried about her brother Tyler if he hooks up with his sister. What will happen to their friendship?

Can three men and one woman actually have a relationship without jealousy? Can Dakota fall in love with three men or just one? What will her family think? Can a steamy unexpected foursome vacation fling turn to more or be just that…a fling? Colorado is great until a surprise visit from someone very important to two of them. What happens? Well you’ll have to read to find out.

Jace reaches out to his best friend's sister, Dakota, for a favor. In exchange for the favor, Jace promised Dakota an all expense trip to Hawaii. Running from the Minnesota cold and her own thoughts and a two-timing boyfriend, Dakota packs a bag and heads to Hawaii. Upon reconnecting with Jace, who had been her secret crush growing up, Dakota meets Jace's two roommates, Merrick and Aurelius. There's a lot of conversation, quite a bit of flirting and a whole lot of heat when Dakota agrees not only to Jace's request but to the desires of the three members of Special Forces. Dakota realizes after she's left Hawaii, that she cares deeply for Jace, Merrick and Aurelius. Will it be too late? Can she become a part of their dream? Will they forgive her for leaving? Will her family (particularly her brother) and friends accept her relationship with the three men?

Krista Wolf has written another great story. There's laughter, love, friendship and a whole lot of love. If you enjoy RH books, pick this one up today!

Dakota is just ending a relationship and on her way to home to try to relax. When her ex keeps trying to reach her. Upset she answers and starts yelling however, it's not her ex but her brother's best friend on the phone. Jace calls her because he needs a favor and will pay her way to Hawaii to have her help him. She readily agrees without finding out what he needs. When she arrives, sparks fly between her and Jace. It's not long before she learns that he has told people that she's his wife and that's why he needs her. She agrees to help and meets his roommates. Merrick and Aurelius are his roommates and soon to be business partners. It doesn't take one Jace's roommates long to let her know that they share their woman. Intrigued she asks them to share her one night. They have an amazing time together and they continue for the rest of her time there. Will the guys admit to her that they want her for keeps?

This is a steamy story that once I started it I couldn't put it down. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

It is mid-December in Minnesota when Dakota receives a phone call from her brother’s best friend, Jace. She has not seen or heard from him since high school. He has called to offer her a free vacation in Hawaii in return for a favor. Dakota decides she deserves a break and travels to Hawaii to find out what favor Jace needs from her. When she gets there she meets Jace’s roommates, Merrick and Aurelius. Merrick, Aurelius, and Jace are military soldiers who are interested in sharing one woman. Their bond is so tight they share everything and they want to share a wife also.

The chemistry between all four was great. I loved how a relationship was built with each of the guys. I love the stories by Krista. She always include strong characters and a plausible storyline.This is a wonderful fun, light, sexy read with an HEA ending.

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

In this book we meet Dakota, Jace, Aurelius and Merrick. When this book opens we find that Dakota has had enough of her cheating ex. So she does the only thing she can think of. Calls the woman he is cheating on her with and invite her to the confrontation lunch. She has had enough of lying men so when Jace calls needing a favor and all she has to do is come to Hawaii the cold, snowy Minnesota doesn't sound as much fun. What she didn't plan on was the amount of deception that Jace had been going through for years or his two equally hot roommates. Can they all find a way to get past the lies and find a HEA or will this all blow up in their faces?

Another hit out of the park by this author. Each of these characters are like onions they have layers that you just can't wait to find out what the next one will be. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone

This is up there for me with RH romances!! All guys were hot and the steam scenes are probably a medium high hot to medium (since the actions are steamy but the writing sometimes makes it ambiguous/not super detailed) I thought the premise was fun as well and the FL was strong. I did find it a bit odd when she says she's the one who "left" but it felt more on the guys...or Jace in particular during one moment in the book. The other reason for me not giving it a full 5 stars is that I thought at points there were things that didn't make too much sense - such as Jace suddenly LATER in the book talking about how hot and kinky it is to be doing his best friend's sister...? He already had been, and it sort of came out of no where.

Also I would just warn and point out that although it's a pretty good RH romance and all the guys get time - it's very clear whom the favorite of the three really is. Anyways still looking forward to Krista's next RH books!

When a friend asks for our heroine, she is only too happy to help. Turns out his friends want to be involved as well which makes things a lot more interesting.

This is another steamy military reverse harem story from our author, something that she has proven she knows how to write well. While I enjoy all the stories from the author, this particular combination is my favorite. The story is well written with a nice combination of action and steam. The characters are well developed, with each of the men having a distinct personality and style. And once things take a turn for the carnal, the reader is treated to a variety of styles and approaches there as well. Overall, it was a fun and sexy read. It is not a short book, but it is an easy read, providing some nice weekend entertainment.

Highly recommended.

'Secret Wife to the Special Forces' by Krista Wolf tells the story of Dakota, who has just broken up with her cheating boyfriend, and Jace, her brother's best friend, Merrick and Aurelius, Jace's best friends and roommates. Jace contacts Dakota and asks her for a favor. He needs a "wife" and wonders if she would be willing to pretend to be married. She would have to come to Hawaii but he would cover all the costs and pay her. Dakota jumped at the chance to get out of the snowy Minnesota weather. However there was a bit more to the favor then Dakota realized.

Ms. Wolf has written a delightful book with wonderful characters and a compelling storyline. This story is filled with humor, drama, snarky exes, sizzling chemistry, and plenty of heat. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys a fab story with a lot of steam.

Dakota is in need of a break, so when Jace calls her to ask for a favor and a free vacation to Hawaii, she can't resist. Seeing Jace after all the years, he's been away made Dakota see how much she's missed.

Jace, Merrick, and Aurelius are more than brothers. They have been through a lot together, and they have formed a unique and unbreakable bond, and Dakota is the missing piece to make them happy.

Dakota takes her to get to know each guy, and she knows that being with them is the right thing for her. Dakota is a sassy, fun, and loving partner, and she sure knows how to keep each of her men happy. I love the way they take their time to consider their relationship. I love how open and honest they are about their fears and how they work to make sure each one is happy.

A charming story of finding love and fighting for what makes you happy.

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. I try to read all of the stories that Krista writes. Her books are full of humor, exploration, friendship, lots of chemistry, some drama and conflict, steamy scenes and finally love. This book did not disappoint in any way. Dakota finds herself without a boyfriend and on her way to a sweet vacation in Hawaii. Jace has ulterior motives even though they are well meaning. Dakota has had a lot of lies thrown her way but she cannot turn him down. She decides to go along with everything and soon learns that Jace, Merrick, and Aurelius are truly a team. These military men and the setting made for a great story. Dakota fits so well into the lives of these three men. I really enjoyed the story and all of the characters.

Dakota grew up in Minnesota and one winter day she gets a call from her brothers best friend. He needs someone to pretend to be his wife for a while in Hawaii. She is on the next plane out and meets him and his two very close roommates, all military. Things get steamy and soon Jace, Aurelius, Merrick and Dakota end up in Colorado, building up a location that will work for them and has plenty of acres to explore. Tension hits when her brother shows up and finds out what is going on. Loved the characters, the locales and their bond. The storyline was well written, with plenty of surprises, intense feelings, drama, great banter and fun situations. The ending was great.

A Dream getaway

This story is full of fun and happiness. There is not too much angst in the story at all which makes it feel maybe too happy... Surely with three heroes they could have saved their girl once. She had a horrible boyfriend and her brother saved her... the three heroes mostly just make her happy in and out of bed... They don't even help her sort her issues with her family... I think I would have liked this better if they had done more interacting and getting to know her family in the story. It would have been good to see Jace introduce his two friends to her dad and brother and let them build a relationship too. I don't know I guess it just felt too focused on her and the guys. It's a good story but maybe too good.

This is another great book from Krista Wolf and I am looking forward to reading more from her. This is a really sweet reverse harem between three really hot sexy military men and one women that they all fall in love with and plan to share for the rest of their lifes. There is some action and a lot of really hot scenes with great characters and a HEA. I really recommend reading this book especially if you like reading about multiple men who are really protective, dominant and will do anything for the one they want.

Dakota doesn't realize what she is getting into when she accepts a holiday to Hawaii from Jace, her brother's best friend, for a favor. Jace needs a fake wife and when they kiss, they both need more. Not just Jace but his roommates Merrick and Aurelius too. They are more than brothers and all three are looking to share. The chemistry between all of them is hot. Dakota and Jace struggle with the knowledge that her brother would not approve. This was a good story. The only thing I would have liked to know is how her parents took the knowledge as we learned how Aurelius's parents and her brother reacted.

Dakota's Favors . . .

Dakota really needs to take a break, so the timing of Jace’s request is perfect. He needs a favor from her, and offers a vacation in Hawaii as incentive. He tells her he needs a fake wife, so she agrees. He also has two friends.

Jace, Merrick (chopper pilot), and Aurelius (Navy SEAL) are far more than “brothers”. They have an unbreakable bond among them. They also like to “share”, and Dakota is willing to help them out. Where will their adventure take them? Would they be able to walk away when this “favor” comes to an end? Or will they want their unique relationship to last?

Krista Wolf does her sexy reverse harem storytelling thing again! As usual smouldering hot military guys meeting Miss young and sexy and prepared to explore the sexual prowress of all thrown her way. I love the way Dakota, our lead female has a long term connection to her initial contact Jace and how they had always held an emotional attachment to one another. Again military guys always seem to have this powerfully strong emotional connection to each other too, thus allowing for extremely hot moments to be shared.

This Reverse Harem Romance was a unique and intriguing story with intense, engaging and sexy characters with interesting histories. This story starts with her breaking up with her boyfriend due to his cheating ways and then getting a call out of the blue to go to Hawaii to become a fake wife for her brother's best friend growing up. What is ten years of time when they have always clicked, add in his two best friends forged in fire and it becomes very interesting very fast. This explosive story just keeps you entertained until the last page. This book has many twists, turns, action, adventure, and a HEA. This is a must read book for those love Reverse Harem Book.

I didn't know what to expect since I had never read anything written by Krista Wolf before. I was more than pleasantly surprised! Her writing style is nice and smooth, telling an actual story and not just fluff to get to the sexy bits. The characters were engaging and the protagonists were heartwarming and fun. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Secret Wife to the Special Forces and look forward to reading more from Krista in the future.

Dakota gets a call for help from her brothers friend Jace and he needs her to act as a couple. His two friends are there also Merrick and Aurelius and they share everything.
This is hot, steamy, romantic and non stop action. I liked that each of the guys are very different and the fact they are supportive of each other was endearing.
Well written, with enough steam to keep me interested but not too much that it is all steam. This was a great story and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
