Badass tattooed Dom Godfrey Cross meets a pair of feisty vanilla girls, tattoo artist Gemma and Aussie transplant Izzy.  Cross is a hardcore Dom who usually prefers well trained subs but the challenge and the sexual appeal of these two girls are too hard to resist.  He decides to train them and finds that bratty isn't as terrible a thing as he thinks it is.I have found this series to be interesting from two standpoints.  One is that the relationship dynamic is MFF which is unusual in ménage romance and the other is that it's written by three authors and still manages to flow like it's written by only one.  I felt that in a lot of respects this particular book was better than the other two but it does have a couple of issues that hold me back from giving it a full five stars.To start with I found the first couple of chapters where the characters were introduced to drag a bit.  While the action ultimately picks up, I feel this drag is worth mentioning because the first couple of chapters are where you hook people.  Having a drag there can cause you to lose your audience.  It was easy for me to get pulled away to read another book that had just been released that I been waiting a while to read.  The main reasons I chose to come back to the book right away was that I had enjoyed the first two and having conversed a bit with authors on Facebook I wanted to continue to support them by seeing through it.  I was glad I did because it got much better.The other issue I had involved an action/adventure piece in the middle of the book.  It felt very out of place for a couple of different reasons.  First, I didn't view the book as being one that lent itself to something like that.  All of these books are more character studies about people trying to adjust themselves to new experiences.  Secondly, something like this usually appears closer to the end of the book as a come to Jesus moment where the characters realize their true feelings for one another.  The book, however, continued to go on after this, and I felt like next several chapters were one epilogue after another.  If it had been closer to the end I would have accepted its presence more.What did I like about this book?  What I liked most is that the authors were able to create an entirely different set of characters from the original three.  My fear was that they would all be slightly altered versions of Jude, Sabrina, and Q.  This is not the case.  They are separate individuals with different goals and dreams.  They are also appealing and you find yourself cheering for them to be able to resolve their conflicts and get together for good.  I also felt that with this book we actually got into the heads of these particular characters more and were able to understand better how they all fit together.  The book is well written, and for the most part the narrative flows seamlessly despite the multiple changes in view point.  The authors appear to have researched what they are writing about well, and most importantly the sex scenes are smoking hot.  Cross is an awesome Dom who is human but at the same a true Master.  The book is definitely worth your time.  I look forward to more from this team, and I hope Malachi's story is coming soon.
