I received this book from the author for an honest review.

Oh baby!!  This book did not let me down.  Micah our sweet, nerdy, virgin shifter finds his mate in the druggie stripper turned prostitute after a night out with his brothers!!  So yeah not really the girl to bring home to mom especially when you’re the momma’s boy!!

Micah and Eve are a great combo.  Both have never felt the love of a significant other. Eve only knows heart ache by people where Micah only knows the love of his family…granted overbearing family but still family.

When the couple are thrown together and Micah agrees to step foot into the ring to save her, the couple have A LOT to learn a about each other.  I felt a little bad for Eve because no one liked her buuut can you blame them when they see her track marks????  Yeah exactly.  I did like that Meg put her in her place and informed her that she is family whether she wants to be or not so get over it.  The brothers all pitch in to help Micah get ready for his fight and start to show Eve what family is all about.  I think I loved Caleb a little bit more for his encouragement with Eve.

There is a lot of stuff happening in this book…new bag guys and maybe even more bad guys on top of the first group.  Dealing with Eve’s ex “employer”, Momma’s special necklace and a brother with a secret mate/lover perhaps????

I am super excited for the next book ad have my fingers crossed for the secret lover storyline that was touched on a couple times in the book!!!

I purchased this book.

MMA Hotties? Yes Please

Shifters? OMGawd YES!!!

I mean like you need to ask me if I am interested in a shifter book…do you people not know me at all!!  LOL

I loved the alpha, Caleb, in this book.  He is such an arrogant jackass, which of course is why we love him right ladies??  But then when we see his soft side, he made me get all gushy annnnd then he was back to being a jackass.

Meg is looking for a one-night stand and this hottie at the bar will do nicely especially since he is the next guy who is going to be fighting her on-again, but currently off again, boyfriend Austin.  Jealousy will make him stop being a jerk, right?

When the couple hook up they get a lot more then they bargained for when they both wake up to the mating tattoos on their bodies.  Meg is livid her one-night stand drugged and tattooed her…I mean how else did it get there?  Caleb is pissed because he doesn’t want a mate.  He is a bad guy and an island, ya know the guys who don’t need anyone??? Why momma didn’t smack him upside the head a time or two I will never know!!

I loved loved loved the fighting these two had.  It was great but then we would see a glimpse of what they COULD be if they both stopped fighting this bond.  I loved the world that Tricia built.  The characters were fabulous and I am so excited to read Micah next.

The series did a great job filling you in and introducing you to the characters that we will be seeing for at least 7 books???  7 brothers means 7 books right????  I am really looking forward to Josiah.  Dunno but he really made me wiggle my eyes a bit but I have a feeling each brother will be my favorites by the books end.

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

So I am not going to lie and will totally admit that Sadists scare the ever loving crap outta me. I am sorry but this is a no pain kinda girl. Like I cry with a hang nail so yeah uhm no…..But this duets blurb and the covers made me beg and plead to read the first book. I finished reading it and was totally in love with a sadist. I have no clue how that even happened. When the ladies offered me book 2, I told my family I don’t care if they starve because I had a date with Sev, Ro and Min. I had to know what happened to my broken man and his 2 loves.

If you didn’t read book 1, then you can’t read any more. Nope sorry leave right the heck now. You gotta experience and fall in love with this broken, dominant alpha named Sev. You have to experience him and wanna throttle him like I did.

Book 2 starts literally right where book 1 ends…Sev, Min and Ro answering the door to find Sev’s long lost and very effed up little brother looking him in the eye. Seems the family got much worse after Sev’s forced departure from what we learn from Loic. Dude, I just wanted to cuddle the creepy guy with everything he lays out for Sev. But yeah then I remember he is creepy and kinda back away because..well…SEV and Ro.

Sev is a mess. He feels guilt for so many things…like why didn’t he go and help his family but he can’t really deal with any of that…because he has to deal with his love, Min but also with his other love Ro. Yeah like come on who wasn’t shocked and totally stoked for THESE scenes. I am with Min on that MM action #HAWT #More #DontStop

Our poly group have too learn a new dynamic…who is the boss of whom. Which sub is the top sub…fyi best banter with Ro and Min on that topic. But basically, they have too figure out a new Relationship. The 2 subs begin to doubt that they will be the one who can give Sev what he needs so we have too see the group struggle with that. But I loved that Sev KNEW. He is always afraid he isn’t a good Dom but he KNEW the instant his subs were lost or confused….dreamy sigh for dang sure! But him pushing his subs away made me get a bit angry at our hottie. Then him being a jackass at towards the end made me flip him off and I didn’t care if he was mad at me…he was being a DB to everyone!!

There is so much happening in this book…Sev doubting himself, the subs distracting their Dom, a creepy brother in the mix, family drama, love being expressed but the best part of the book for ME…the last chapter. To see Sev and all that he has been through and all the growth he has made….omg I want more. I am super greedy for this family.

They trade the cape and colorful tights for tattoos and cups of coffee then set out to create a world where readers fall in love with heroes and the women who willingly go to their knees for them. Their books are the products of two kinky minds who don’t take themselves too seriously.
