While this book does not have to be read in succession with the rest of the series, it is recommended, as the other books provide insight to relationships and references mentioned within the book. This highly sexual book contains M/F/M and M/M scenes, as well as medium BSDM content.Jenn Callum manages a BDSM club, has seen it all, and wants nothing but Aiden Byrne. Aiden Byrne is a Dom that likes it rough, but can only deliver that edge with men, seeing women as too delicate. Craig Eason is a switch who likes to give and receive, but refuses to submit to just anyone. Jenn understands that Aiden, while committed, is unable to provide her the level of pain she needs to be fulfilled. She also knows that, in holding back, he's not fulfilling his need to lash his subs to the extent he wants. She decides that bringing Craig into their fold will help them both get what they want. Craig can dominate her and give Aiden a sub to control.Read this book to be excited, but don't hope to fall deeply in love with the characters. There isn't enough in the book to understand what drives Jenn, Aiden, or Craig other than short backstories of their careers and their desires for each other. Additionally, while titillating the senses, the book but lacks a true climax beyond the bedroom. There isn't enough conflict in the plot for anything to actually be resolved, so there isn't enough need for a true pivotal point in the story.Overall, I was happy with the book and would recommend it. It includes a point of view not usually taken: a ménage with a female, a dominant male lover, and a switch male. The relationship dynamics, while built quickly, are approached carefully to help the reader understand what each person in the trio is feeling as the bond is building. I look forward to the next book in the series, but hope it gives more to the characters and plot than this one did.
