3.5 super sexy stars
The book started off okay for me. I wasn't sure I would really get SUCKED IN, you know. But, these characters were deeper and more complex than I expected! Julian has a tortured past that keeps him from thinking long term, Dani is running from her own wedding, and Finn has been in love with Dani forever but she thinks he gay. So, Dani and Finn finally own up to their feelings, but Julian is still not willing to risk a long term commitment. There is some danger that comes into play from an outside source which kept things interesting and the characters really are deeper than they appeared! ( )

A fantastic addition to the series!! Control freak Julian Lodge meets walking disaster Danielle and it is love at first mad dash from the chapel! Through Fin into the mix and things really heat up!

Love Sophie's writing! laugh out loud funny at times! Can't wait for what is next!

Why is it I have such a soft spot for a tortured Dominate, alpha male? I love Julian and want him all for myself. Well I might share him with Finn. I really, really like this story. Julian captured my attention in Siren in the City. I am glad that he found so many people that wouldn't give up on him or let him give up on himself. The story made me laugh and cry and curse Dani sister and Jeremy. I really hope that Dani sister gets what she so richly deserves. Ms. Oak did a great job of keep up the suspense again and blending if a love story and the full background on Julian. I have to go read the next book in the series which is Lucas and Lexi's book. I am also hoping for a book for Leo. He also has me intrigued now. I also loved seeing Jack, Abby and Sam again as well as the children that they have had. Again this book is not for those that do not enjoy m/m in a story. There is plenty of this type of encounters in the story.

The problem with these books is that they are like peanuts or potato chips you just can’t read one, you want to read all of them one after the other. This book has gotten to me more than the others have so far. The scenes with Danielle and Julian being torture crying. I will also warn those that haven’t read this story it is an m/m/f story, there are sex scenes between Julian and Finn. There is some Domination and submission but it is fairly light. There is spanking and toy use as well.

This is the third book in this series and the first that isn’t about Jack, Sam and Abby. This is Julian Lodge’s story. He is restless and miserable even though he wouldn’t admit that to anyone even himself. He goes to Willow Fork to spend a week with the Fleetwood-Barnes family. Jack has been after him for some time to come and see the ranch. While is there he meets his soul mates in Finn Taylor and Danielle Bay. These are both new characters and I like both of them very much. Julian isn't prepared for the upheaval that Dani is going to bring into his life. He is also not prepared for how drawn he is to Finn. Julian fights this attraction for all he is worth. He is so damaged by what losing his parents and the neglect that he endured from his uncle he just can’t see himself as being able to love anyone. The problem of course is that he is afraid to let anyone close. He can’t stand the thought of losing someone that he cares about and he cares about a lot of people. Julian is all alpha male and he shows that side of himself over and over with both Finn and Dani. Julian is the type of tormented hero that I love to read about finding the one person or in this case the two people that can love them.

Dani is a true submissive. She has let people take advantage of her all her life. She is always trying to help those in need even when they reject her. She nursed her Mom when she was dying. She put her future aside and worked to take care of her sister. She put Valerie through college, making sure that she had what she needed. Dani is caring, compassionate and loyal to those friends and family that she has let into her heart. She is also very open minded. She is willing to experiment sexually and with the idea of being the third in the Julian and Finn sandwich. I loved that she was willing to do whatever it took to help Julian when he needed it most.

Finn Taylor is a bisexual switch and he doesn't realize it. He has been confused and ashamed most of his life. I mean he grew up in a small town of closed minded hypocrites. Finn has worked hard to make something of himself and he loves his life in Dallas. His only regret is that he doesn't have Dani with him. I loved that he was willing to stand up to Julian when they first met. I know that it was very hard on him to take on such a forceful personality. Finn proves that he is capable of taking care of Dani and Julian when he has to. I also like Finn quite a bit.

This story like ONE TO KEEP is difficult to read toward the end. There are a few instances of torture that are very hard to get through. The villain we have met both and he has finally lost his mind. I am not surprised he was a little weasel in Siren in the City. We get to see more of Leo Meyer. I will be glad when he gets his own story. He is way too happy interfering in other people’s lives to be left single for very long. This is a great story and for those that love this type of story won’t be disappointed. ( )
