Format: read an e-book version through Kindle Unlimited
Why I chose this book: It popped up under ‘readers also enjoyed’ list on goodreads for another book the cover was cute to me so I was curious
Mains: This is a M/F/M relationship featuring M/F and M/F/M scenes (No M/M) – very why choose/ravishment fantasy. I took all the mains as cishet.

Should I read in order?
I think this is a standalone novella?

Basic plot:
Eve gets a Christmas surprise when her boyfriend asks to share her with his stepdad. 😆

Give this a try if you want:
- contemporary romance
- mountain retreat setting
- why choose – Eve gets involved with Cole and his stepdad
- hockey player hero (Cole plays hockey, no ice time on page)
- size difference – they’re taller
- silver fox – Griffin has gray in his hair
- age gap elements – Griffin is in his late 40s while Eve and Cole are college aged
- M/F and M/F/M scenes (no M/M)
- higher steam – 10ish scenes but they are on the shorter side

Ages:
- Eve and Cole I think are in their 20s? (college age) and Griffin is in his late 40s

First line:
“Wake up, babe.”

My thoughts:
I liked this for what it was – a bit of a ridiculous ravishment fantasy with a boyfriend and stepdad.

I liked parts of this book more than others...I liked some of the tension building between Eve and Griffin. I rather loved Cole and how he acted in the relationship with Eve...but the whole reasoning for the attraction/relationship was a bit weird. I wasn’t convinced.

I wish the scenes were a bit more developed. There was a lot of them but they were pretty quick and lacked a bit of emotional pull I really wanted between all the mains.

Quotes

“Tell me what you need.” He pushes his pants down and lines the head of his cock with my core.
“I need you,” I gasp as he enters me.
He grips my hair, pulling my head back. “I’ll give you anything you want.”
