Goodreads Description
She’s been looking for the perfect man. She found two.
When Rachel Riley sacrificed a life in Eden to protect the O’Kanes, she earned her place in the powerful Sector Four gang. But the former crime princess is tired of being everyone’s sweet little sister . It’s time for her to get wild, to embrace her fantasies as only an O’Kane can—with a delicious exiled soldier and the gang’s wickedly sinful tattoo artist.
A saint...
Lorenzo Cruz is a warrior, taught by his commanding officers in Eden that involvement equals distraction. Emotion is a liability, and desire a sin. In Sector Four, he finds decadence, shameless sex—and his own dark urges. No battle strategy prepared him for how Rachel makes his heart race…or the way his rival for her affections sets his blood on fire.
...and a sinner.
Ace Santana has a dirty reputation and a mind to match, especially where his new lovers are concerned. He’s eager to help Cruz embrace his dominant side, and to explore the lines between pleasure and pain with Rachel. But corrupting them quickly becomes an obsession, a need he can’t deny—and a love he never imagined.
Three hearts on the line means a hundred ways their ménage a trois could go wrong. After all, even O’Kanes do forever two-by-two. One of them could be the missing piece that makes them all whole…or a temporary diversion destined for a broken heart.

The Sexuality Please excuse me while I flail and fangirl for a moment. I LOVE these books. And by love, I mean that I anticipate and salivate over the books of these series immediately after I finish the newest one. These books are raw and dirty and balls to the wall (pun intended) amazing. The content is not for everyone but hot damn if it doesn't get my fanning myself. But this leads me into one of my many reasons I love this book. The creativity that Bree and Donna have in their sexytimes would make a truck driver blush. I love where they take each and every story and they are a no-holds-barred kind of team.
The Freedom I won't lie to you, I feel I might have said this in previous reviews of this series, but these books help me feel empowered in the sexual realm. They write their stories in a way that gives the control to the women. The empowerment they give to women in this sexual arena is extremely powerful and inspiring. Don't let the brawn and tattoos and guns fool you, the women run this show behind the scenes and I love this theme in every one of their books. More than that, I love how open sexuality is in this world. Nothing is judged, everything is fair game, and if it feels good, do it. I fall in this with this sexual freedom every time I read these books.
The Love While pleasure is given and taken in heaps, at the end of the day all there is is love. Love is the currency that runs the hearts of the O'Kanes and I cannot get enough of the sacrifice and loyalty they show one another.
The Characters Ace and Rachel and Cruz make the hottest threesome since...uh, ever! The development these three characters goes through is not won easily but the inner demons they all fight give them the strength equal to the tattooed dragons the mens' skin portray. Ace absolutely breaks my heart with how fragile and damaged he is. And him and his sleeves make me drool for days. Rachel is the perfect partner for him and Cruz is the catalyst that brings them all to a very sexy explosion...no pun intended on that one. Even that's a little graphic for me.

Menage What? Don't get me wrong, I love this story. The writing of this menage is done perfectly and makes total sense while reading. My personal preference is that of a couple of two people so it was difficult for me to wrap my head around actually loving two people equally if not differently. So this isn't truly something that didn't work, it was just a personal struggle I had trying to put myself in their position of being torn between two people and loving them both. I do feel that two of the characters feelings were developed a little deeper for each other than the third but hey, I'm not about to turn down all three of them if you know what I mean.
Yes I cannot wait to see what is next for the O'Kanes. This series is hot and should totally be on your radar if you love the sexytimes. I cannot flail enough over how much I love these men, these women, this world, and their story. *sigh*
Wait, What??? I think I may have to check this series out. It sounds amazing. I am all for the sexytime aspect, just not the sexy time that was in 50 Shades of Grey cause that was just horrible. Let me see if I can get the first book in this series on amazon.... ** rushes to AMAZON**
