Rating: 4.5 / 5
This book has some wicked hot scenes! And a good/great storyline to go along with it. More often than not when I'm reading an ebook on my (desktop) computer, I go it rather leisurely; reading a chapter or two at a time and coming back to it whenever I feel like it. But this one had me wanting to keep coming back, and I ended up reading most of the second half in one sitting.
The story starts out with a good-guy cop, Cameron, and a cold-hearted, love-em & leave-em bounty hunter, Thorn, who are staking out a house, hoping to catch a key witness to an upcoming trial who has disappeared. Cam, and law enforcement, need the man to help put his boss away, and Thorn is out $50,000 bail money if the man is never found. The house they are staking out is one where their suspect typically takes his mistresses, which is why they think the woman they see there is just another cheap woman. But both are drawn to her. Brenna is beautiful and enchanting. But she has a problem...she's completely unable to orgasm, whether alone or with a partner. Cam and Thorn make a deal with her - they'll help her orgasm if she'll give them information on the man they seek. But what starts out as a mutual beneficial relationship becomes much more when feelings get involved.
Dangerous Boys and Their Toy is one smokin' hot book. The sex scenes leave you needing an ice cold shower. They're probably some of the hottest I've read. So for that alone, this book gets top marks.
But the storyline and the characters were engaging as well. You get a nice range of personalities in this story. Brenna is a spitfire with a bruised heart trying to get over the abandonment in her past. Cam is the nice guy alpha, and Thorn is completely emotionally cut off, a product of his bad childhood. In the beginning, Thorn comes off as a total asshole, but once you get to understand the character, he really grows on you. And together, they make quite a threesome.
Author Shayla Black really surprised me with Brenna's true identity. I hadn't been expecting that at all. The plot wasn't the most complicated or maybe the most original, but it worked for the story.
I do with the book had been longer, with some more development. Everything moves pretty quickly, taking place over only a couple days. Which made the developing male/male aspect of the story a little too abrupt (even if some of those scenes were ridiculously hot). As good as the book was, it just could have been even better with a little more length and development.
Definitely a erotic romance worth reading, though. But beware that there is some descriptive m/m action. So if you don't like that, don't read this one. If you don't mind that, then you should consider giving this one a try.
WARNING, this book contains: explicit sex and explicit language, a bisexual m/f/m menage (ie m/m sex), oral sex, anal sex, and a little voyeurism
