I’m caught between a man who hates me and one who wants me. And yes, it’s possible to choose—I love them both. Redix is the only man I’ve ever told I love. We’re connected in ways that brand my soul. Silas is a man of new temptation. He only wants to free me from my dark past.
But what do I want? What do I need? All I’ve known is a love I’d kill for. All I feel is that I want to save them both...
“With Him” is a steamy, fast-paced second of a duet featuring a menage between a tragic hero, a free spirit, and a love that breaks the rules. It is a HEA with hot scenes and dark themes that may be sensitive for some readers.
Kelly Finley is an author of contemporary romances featuring bada** women and grown-a** men.
She lives in the Carolinas with her husband and family. A rebel with many causes, she fancies black leather, dirty jokes, and smart mouths.
Thrilled by a flipped script, she gives us steamy, sexy heroines who are often missing, particularly from suspense and military romance. Her books feature heat we almost can't handle & shameless characters we champion and love.
She's most likely at her keyboard right now, putting the next heroine on the page.
The fact that the 2nd book is a menage just ruined everything for me. I feel like I just wasted my time. How can an author write about that once in a lifetime type of love, that intensity, those sacrifices and turned it into a menage. I'm so sick of those kind of stuffs. Stop selling us a story to turn it into something totally different!
So I thought the first book was spicy… but Kelly said HOLD MY BEER! The spice in the book broke the scales.
This book was so intense! I’m not sure what I went in expecting. But, it wasn’t that.
I’m happy with the way all of the loose ends were tied up. Justice prevailed and Gentry and Derek got what was coming to them. & Cade and Redix finally got the happy ending they deserved. The epilogue was EVERYTHING!
I absolutely loved Mama G and her wittiness. Her ending broke my heart. It reminded me of my grandma who I lost to the same terrible disease.
Overall it’s a solid read that I throughly enjoyed. It’s obviously not going to be for everyone. So go in with an open mind and make sure to read the triggers. I can’t wait to see what Kelly does next! ♥️♥️
Triggers: *Characters discovering bisexual & being outed against their will *Character fighting Cancer *Mentions of SA and Rape *Death *Violence *Alcoholism *Mentions of Human Trafficking
A gorgeous conclusion to this duet. Redix and Cade find their way back to one another and heal their hearts through adding Silas into their dynamic. I adore Silas and I was worried going in that he'd be hurt as the third wheel in an all consuming established romance. But this MMF love is beautifully crafted and Silas is an essential part of the love story. He is never less or excluded and the love both Redix and Cade feel for him is soul deep. Their hearts are always open for him but he is on his own journey ( that I cannot wait to read. His will be an epic HEA I am sure).
I love how these characters grapple with challenging emotions and new experiences. Both Redix and Cade have to take their separate paths to be able to accept the adults they are now. They reform themselves into their own adult identities open to experience and life in a way that their trauma defined younger selves never could.
I am so in love with Kelly Finley's style of storytelling and her fierce female leads. There are so many offshoots from this story and characters I want to know the details of. But the Cade/Charlie/Redix/Daniel book sounds too delicious for words.
A brilliantly written story of discovering new love and opening your heart and healing, with the underlying intrigue and excitement of a thriller underneath. Oh and I cried a bucket too.
Wow…just…wow Book 1 of this duet was so intense and suspenseful and hot, and ’m not sure what I was expecting with this book, but I got so much more than I bargained for. The spice factor here increased exponentially.
Cade’s journey to discover herself and free herself with the aid of Silas was exactly what she needed & a nice heated surprise. Silas played such an integral part in the healing of both Cade & Redix. His intense connection with both of them individually and together was what they needed to be able to see what they truly had in each other. This relationship was what they all needed to understand the depths of which they’re able to love so deeply.
The support characters in this duet leave you wanting so much more. So many stories to be told & these characters are not ones to sit & not be heard.
Kelly can grab your emotions, take them on a thrilling ride, then plummet them into a crater of heartache, build up the suspense with action, end with molding your heart back together, but leaving you wanting so much more. I can’t wait for more on Silas’s happy ending, Stacey’s adventures, & Scarlet’s unexpected tryst.
For those of you who have had the pleasure of devouring Finley's first book in this duet, After Him, you will not be disappointed in this second book. For those of you who have not yet picked up book one, go get it. Like, right now. I'll wait.
We open With Him right where we left off with Cade and Redix. Their brief window of HFN shattered by the words, "What did you do, Cade?" Torn apart again, Redix focuses on keeping his sobriety while Cade remains steadfast in her pursuit of the two criminals who have eluded her justice thus far. And then there's Silas. My dream man and favorite character from Finley's Come For Me series. He is all beauty and heart, inside and out. And he is there to offer comfort to both Cade and to Redix. And when they all get together? Dang! The steam pouring out of this book about fogged up my glasses! Finley knows how to write scenes that will blow the doors off whatever you thought the limits of hotness could be. This book is definitely not one you want to read in public!
This FMM ménage is Finley at her best. She knows how to break your heart, splinter it into a million tiny bits, and then gradually put it together again piece by piece. As usual, she takes us on a roller coaster ride of emotion and will at times have you screaming at the pages. It is packed with intensity and suspense and passion, and it will make your toes curl and your heart break. And of course Finley finishes me off with an epilogue that left me in tears. The good kind.
The supporting cast is brilliant, as usual. Mama G is back and is even funnier and more delightful, and I've already had some words with the author about this particular character (ifkyk). And Stacey and Scarlett and Luca...I just love them all and they had better get their own books!
I cannot recommend Finley's books highly enough. While reading them you will love her and you will hate her and at the end of the day you will thank her for bringing you such beautiful stories.
Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I would give this 10/10 stars if I could. So I ARC read this book after ARC Reading After Him and I am literally in LOVE with this author now. This storyline is absolutely phenomenal, the spice is the best I’ve ever read, and I just love everything about these books. This book in particular I really loved because it’s FMM why choose and has a badass FMC and what more can you ask for as a bisexual tomboy yourself? Literally nothing! 😂 I swear I will be recommending to all my spice loving friends. I almost found myself wanting to recommend to my family but my family isn’t as cool as Mama G ☠️(IYKYK) this releases Oct 20th! Just 4 days!! Run don’t walk, the first book is available now! ❤️
This book! I consumed it like it was air when I first read it. It picks up where After Him left off and became something so much bigger than I expected. Kelly took a story, that started with so much heartache, and turned it into a story of redemption, healing, and strength. The addition to Silas in this book was just brilliant. What I love is the way Redix and Cade were able to have such a strong connection to Silas, both separately and together. He became an intrinsic part of Redix and Cade finding peace and a deeper meaning of loving someone. Mama G could have almost stole the show at times with her questions about balls and over sharing. Then at one point Kelly broke my heart and I of course had to message her a middle finger. If you’re looking for a read that will take you on an emotional journey, keep you filled with suspense, as well as setting your kindle on fire, you need this duet in your life! I’ve already said it but I love this book and highly recommend it!
I don’t know how many times my heart can break and heal but it happened a lot when reading this duet. I absolutely loved how Silas came into the picture. I really felt like he brought so much to Cade and Redix’s relationship and helped them heal both individually and as a couple! And the spice in this one is next level!! 🌶🌶🌶🌶 I have read so many ménage and why-choose romance books and almost always have a favorite character, but this time, I can honestly say I don’t know who I love more, Silas, Redix or Cade?!?! And the secondary characters!! Cade’s parents are the cutest and I loved Stacey by the end of this. I am totally rooting for her and her posse!! I am strictly spoiler free but will say, I absolutely cannot wait to read what Kelly gives us next!!
Liked this book! It definitely took a different turn from book one. I gave it a 3.5🌟
I absolutely loved Cade, Redix and the story line! I felt at times that the characters have completely changed. Now with that being said I DID like this book, I just thought of it as 2 new characters with Silas added. The badass Cade just wasn't there for this book and I didn't think Redix was the type (so jealous) that would share. So it was hard to understand some of the turns this book took. And the Suspenseful side with Derek and Gentry... felt a little thrown in and not smoothly placed like it did in book 1.
As a stand alone this would of been a good book! But it just did not give me the emotions book 1 did.
There’s quite a big jump going from book 1 to this second book initially but then everything goes back in time for a while and you realize it’s a clever way to begin the book. Immediately, I found myself desperately wanting the remaining two rotters, being polite when they are so dreadful, to be caught and locked away forever… that’s how powerful the first book was, it fired up my intense feelings about Gentry and Derek straight away!
Finding Pamela Ryan and Cam Le is another mystery that Cade is set on solving and in her words, “And I’ll draw my last breath finding her.” I absolutely loved Cade’s courage and strength, her sheer determination to right wrongs may or may not have caused her to blur some lines but I understand why. This ongoing mystery adds such a great amount of excitement, it’s different this time because you feel and see pieces of the puzzle shifting into place and the contentment factor is enormous.
The relationship between Redix and Cade has never been smooth sailing but adding Silas in intrigued me, and also made me a little wary. Not because of the bisexuality but because of the possible outcome. Silas is such a gorgeous character though, both inside and out. He is caring and supportive all while freely admitting to Cade his fears and wishes. He encourages Cade to be free and to think of herself, which is ultimately fantastic advice.
The humor in this book is fantastic, especially with Mama G. There were scenes when I literally burst out laughing, for example, her poll she sent via texts to her ex-male workmates, so funny. The contrast between what life has thrown at Mama G and her incredible wit and confidence is amazing. The other hilarious moments are the sayings, I honestly found so many to be funny and yet refreshing because of the use of them. Each are perfectly situated.
I look forward to reading Silas’ book next and Stacey and her men and then Scarlett and Luca, and… you get the picture, I can’t get enough by this author!

This series is for you if you like: -Second chances -Why Choose -Redemption -Small Town -HEA -Emotional heartbreak 😉
**I want to start by saying that this is my personal opinion and my thoughts alone. Everyone has the right to their opinion, and opinions change depending on the person.
"Do your b^lls tighten before you cÖme?" Alright first off, I freaking love Mama G. She is fierce and loyal and I love how unjudgemental she is. She honestly was probably one of my favs to read about. I loved how Kelly let us see her personality and her banter. Her friend polls were so much fun to read about and the insight she had with Cade made my heart drop. Shows us how a mom should be.
Cade, Redix and Silas Oh what a ride it has been. Kelly switched it up 180 and I'm not complaining. I do kinda wish there were some hints in book 1 as to what to expect with the trio but it was so much fun!
There was so much more spice and tension, be prepared for your toes to curl. 😉
With Him is filled with revenge, redemption and love. So much love for all and I freaking loved it.
All three of them were able to overcome their challenges and face the things that brought them down. They became new and free.
Ya'll that Epilogue was freaking everything! I'm so happy with Cade and Redix and that little surprise iykyk 😉 Can We just talk about Silas!? I love how he figured out what kind of love he wanted but was open and honest with himself, knowing he was deserving of all kinds of love.
I can't wait for Silas's Stand Alone to find out everything 😉
Thank you Kelly Finley for providing a physical ARC in exchange for an honest review.
ARC Review of With Him by Kelly Finley * * * * * The second read this epically erotic, action raging and emotion rollercoaster filled with second chances, redemption, finding love and revenge!
Cade's decision has led her to break apart with Redix once again. She wanted revenge. She wanted those men to pay. She can't let go of what they have done and they are yet to truly prove it to the rest of the world of their horrible and sick crimes. So many girls harmed and dead and lost. Redix steps away once again to find himself and work past the betrayal he feels. Along the way, Silas has come to Cade's side. Silas is now part of the story as he falls for Cade...and Redix. His own struggles with family and his involvement in a story that will have you gripping for the happenings in this little town full of dark powerful men. Badass women rise up and unite. Those who truly deserve consequence get what they deserve. They loose friends. They find friends. They find themselves. A phenomenal read!
Loved it so much! So spicy and steamy and wowzers I need a fan. Love the ending! Just the happiness of it all is soo good! Sex parties and threesomes and orgasmic fun for sure! They mystery and thrilling events had me gripping my kindle!
Wow just wow !!! After reading the first book After Him and falling completely in love , I honestly did not think it could possibly get any better ( well I was definitely wrong ) with him is the second installment in Kelly’s All for you Duet and trust me when I say it’s not only a emotional rollercoaster in every sense of the word, but it’s the type of story that will literally grab onto all your emotions so completely, pull at your heartstrings in why’d you won’t be expecting and keep you up reading well into the early morning hours .MMF , ménage , tragic hero , romantic , steamy , heartbreaking, heartfelt, action packed , suspenseful, angsty , emotionally charged, wonderfully written characters, twists and turns , trauma , self discovery, family, friendships, character growth, awesome world building, unforgettable and unputdownable, Simply pure perfection. If you have yet to read this amazing Duet you are truly missing out !!
This book definitely wasn't what I was expecting, and I mean that in the very best way. I normally avoid books with multiple or 'different' (for lack of a better word) partners when reading as I mostly find authors over compensate and storylines get lost. Please also note that is not my opinion outside of reading, love is love. I went into this slightly trusting the author after some hints, and that trust wasn't broken. The story and self discovering journey the characters went on was beautiful to witness. And then we have the actual reason why I was desperate to dive into this amazing book. ANSWERS!!! Talk about more bombshells. Bombshells and events that need to be experienced first hand so I'm not actually going to say much more. This book was the perfect accompaniment to it's predecessor and you finish the last page satisfied, albeit with a heart that's been through the wringer.
Kelly Finley has done it again!!! I just keep falling more in love and in lust over these characters!! Not only is the spice top notch, because let me tell you IT IS! But the drama, the suspense, the tension, the hurt, the revenge, the healing; it’s all so powerful. This book had me laughing, crying, smiling, withering, shaking! An MMF read and I was totally all for it! The way love is written about is so beautiful. There are no limits, no expectations. Its only grows because there is never enough love in this world and that is in no way a bad thing no matter how taboo the world makes it seem. Redix and Cade prove that over and over again with help of Silas. I can’t wait to read the next book! I am dying for more of Silas and the love he finds to join the love he has with Redix and Cade. I am addicted to these book that intertwine in the most perfect way!
Ten years after almost destroying their lives, one fateful night and its aftermath are still wreaking havoc on Cade and Redix. Angryand hurt, but still deeply in love, Cade and Redix move forward…separately. Cade works to bring evil men to justice while Redix works to maintain his sobriety even as new information pulls them toward danger. The closer they get to solving the disappearances of women, the more damage seems to impact their lives, but Cade is determined to stop those responsible. Cade spends time with new friend Silas, a dead ringer for Redix. Silas is a free spirit and sweet soul, a planet around whom both Cade and Redix orbit. Silas may be the glue that can put Cade and Redix back together and lead them to the happy ending they deserve.
Cade and Redix have one of the most beautiful love stories I’ve read. What started as a pure love between two kids is nearly destroyed, but Kelly Finley reunites them in the most beautiful - and spicy - way. She makes them work for it. The storytelling and world building are phenomenal. Finley has a gift for creating incredible dialogue and writing with so much detail that the reader can picture everything as it happens. The supporting characters are fantastic. Cade’s parents are a force! The emotional range and depth these characters experience is visceral and real without being maudlin, and the steamy scenes….have a cold drink on standby!
With Him is out now. You’ll definitely want to read After Him first. It’s a stunning MASTERPIECE you’ll never forget! Let me know if you read - I’d love to discuss!
4.5 Stars — This book was hot. Like, really hot. And the “why choose” throuple dynamic? Yes, please, a thousand times over. But it wasn’t just the spice (which was sinful and perfect); the story itself was so good. I love how the characters have real depth, the badass women, the hot-as-hell men with their demons, and the way they all work through their struggles. It made the book everything! And the emotions? Whew. I was angry at the injustice, heartbroken over the loss, sweating over the spicy scenes, and grinning like an idiot by the end. The way all the characters across these books connect just makes it even better. I’m obsessed with this series, and I need more!
I just finished this and i cant even do a video because I’m ugly crying to hard( Happy Tears) and need a cold shower after the big 30th birthday scene. Reading “After Him” and now the second book “With Him” Im hooked, your writing skills, plots and everything was just fabulous! Thank you for this amazing story and sharing Redix, Silas, and Cade 🥹❤️❤️❤️
WOOF, this is a steamy one. (insert chili pepper emoji here)
First, I loved the storyline of this book. It was a great continuation from the first book of the duet. The mystery, action, and emotional dealings were really appreciated, and I found myself just needing to know what happened!
Moving on to the steam... wowza. It was a lot of fun to read, and the steam is very well present throughout the entire book. I loved the addition of Silas' character and his backstory, as well as seeing things from his perspective. I also blushed so hard at multiple points throughout.
4 Stars. The book was great, steamy, interesting, and I enjoyed it. Only not five stars because some of the tropes/kink are just not my favorite - but that didn't stop me from enjoying this incredibly well written book!
I don’t normally gravitate towards spicy books featuring more than one partner, but this one was done so, so well. Scorching hot spice and a chemistry so intense it leapt from the pages, this also featured great characters who I found really relatable. I adored how open and trusting Redix, Cade, and Silas were with each other. Really entertaining, intensely spicy read. *I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
I wasn’t sure how the first book could be topped but Kelly went above and beyond with the follow up. Cade and Redix were hot all on their own but bring in Silas and holy cow! This book was so ridiculously steamy but equally emotional and heartbreaking. A real rollercoaster ride.
If you haven’t read After Him (Book 1) go get it. Now this second book will not leave you disappointed. The spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️. Ms Kelly you have done it again with this book. Just wow that is all. I don’t like spoiling. Just get both her books yall !!!
If your looking for a book full of spice this is the book for you! Cade, Reddix and Silas are 🥵. The writing is like butter. Im totally invested in this duet!
If I’m being completely honest I felt more than a bit of trepidation about this book when I read the blurb and saw that was FMM. Redix and Cade are finally together. Things aren’t perfect, Redix has his demons with his recovery from drug and alcohol addiction and as for Cade, well how secure is a relationship when one half is keeping secrets from her partner and hers is a whooper so I was worried that adding a third member into their dynamic would cause it to implode. Why did I doubt Kelly Finley and think she didn’t know what she was doing? With Him is just such a beautiful story albeit angsty and intense. Silas was exactly what Cade and Redix needed and if anything his inclusion deepened the love they had for one another. With serious chemistry between all three leads and the steam factor - well scorching doesn’t come close to describing it. After finishing this book I can’t wait to see what this author’s fertile imagination comes up with next.
I got lost while reading this. Time and everything else just slipped my mind while reading this. This writing style is amazing. I found this story to be beautiful, it even brought a tear to my eye. It was funny and endearing.
With Him is Book 2 and it's A FMM Why Chose Suspenseful Romance in the All for You Duet. I went in thinking there's No Way this Book could Compare to Book one cause I Loved it so much but Kelly proved Me Wrong!! This Book is Straight Fire 🔥🔥 The ongoing Mystery adds so many Amazing Layers to this Romance Book. Cade is Determined to get Justice for All. She will Go Down as one of My Favorite FMC To Date!! Redix & Silas are so Delicious!! I loved how Redix and Cade were both able to have such a Strong Connection to Silas, separately and together. The Secondary Characters were just as Amazing! It was So Beautiful to Witness the Self Discovering Journey of these Main Characters. I've Ugly Cried & Laughed. I did'nt think my Heart could take All the Heartbreak Again but All the Healing and Love Pieced Me Back Together!! Phenomenal Read, Definitely Your Next 5 ⭐ Read..
