review 1: 4 starsThis was a very good story. I really liked all three of the MCs and enjoyed seeing them come together, first as a m/f/m and then later developing in to a m/m/f relationship. I've read this book before and it was worth the reread. This is the first thing I've read by this author but I do intend to read more of her work in the future.Taylor is a good woman that's had bad luck with guys in the past. Her boyfriend just broke up with her via text on Christmas Eve (she was planning to break up with him but was going to wait until after the holidays) which leaves her dateless for New Years Eve. I liked Taylor and liked her attitude. Admittedly, she didn't really think that she was hot enough for the attention that both Mikhel and Zach gave her at the beginning of the story... more but she quickly got past it and comes in to her own. I loved that we weren't subjected to her putting herself down through the whole story. Such a nice change from some stories along this line.Mikhel and Zach are both werewolves and have been friends since they were little kids. They both left their previous pack (run by Mikhel's father) to make a life on their own. Mikhel runs a PC repair shop and Zach runs a coffee shop next door. They both meet Taylor when she comes to get her PC fixed and ends up getting coffee. They both want her but since she has a boyfriend they both content themselves with being her friends instead. When they find out that Taylor needs a date fro New Years, they both volunteer at the same time and when she can't choose between them, they both decide to be her dates.Taylor really wasn't expecting to be lucky enough to get a date with either Mikhel or Zach. When she finds she's getting a date with both (at once) she's unsure but goes with it, figuring it's a once in a lifetime opportunity. They spend the evening with Taylor either between the 2 men or with one or the other separately. They each start a seduction going but things get tense when emotions escalate as the night progresses. As things are coming to a head, the men finally decide to share Taylor for the night and see where things go (as neither of the men are willing to back away). Technically, Mikhel is the Alpha and Zach the Beta but since they left the old pack, Mikhel hasn't "officially" started up his own pack so Mikhel can't just order Zach away unless he officially takes command (which would involve Mikhel and Zach fighting it out). After the stoke of midnight, Mikhel and Zach take Taylor to their hotel room and give her a choice, she can have neither of them, either of them or both of them. Taylor is no fool and chooses both which leads them in to a hot night of m/f/m action. Things go relatively well through the next morning but eventually, Mikhel's instincts (which have been screaming for him to claim Taylor and show his dominance over Zach) overwhelm him and he has to get away. Zach is determined to work things out between the three of them and ends up taking some risks, part of which involves not letting Mikhel have time on his own to deal with stuff. The situation brings Taylor solidly in to their world as she ends up witnessing Mikhel and Zach change forms when things clash and Mikhel finally fights Zach for dominance. Things aren't smooth but the issues get ironed out as Taylor accepts what they are and her part with them and the 2 men come to terms with sharing Taylor and all that goes with it. They end up in their m/f/m relationship for about a year until things develop further and Zach wants more from Mikhel. There's more drama and Mikhel has to struggle with his wants and needs and what Taylor and Zach want as well. It's tough but they menage to work things out and the threesome develops in to a m/m/f relationship. I liked the emotions and all that went along with the development of the relationship. I think it was well done and seemed believable in the context of the story. I loved the way things turned out when Mikhel's parents visit...priceless! In the end, Taylor, Mikhel and Zach are happy in their threesome and starting their HEA.I really liked this story. I loved Mikhel, Taylor and Zach and thought all 3 added to the story and had their own place in it (not like 1 was just thrown in to make the menage like some stories do). I'm planning to read more of this series in the future. Id'recommend this book. Thumbs up. :)
review 2: I was pretty disappointed in this one because it started out on SUCH a great note. The two wolves can't agree on who will take Taylor to the New Year's Eve event so they both take her...ha ha...in both senses of the word. I was really excited to see this relationship and menage develop. And then...after Mikeh's were shows up, it just kind of slid downhill. We missed a YEAR!? And how can a menage skip over the DP scene!? The book alluded to it, you know it happened, but it was just not there! And even at the end, when Zach and Mikhel are together, Taylor was there, but not really in it. What a tease. It was just constant sex, sex, sex throughout the book without much else. Not my favorite shifter book although it was definitely hot. less
