I read an advanced copy of this book from Netgalley. I loved the book. It was full of hot lovin' and a bit of mystery. I highly recommend this book if you like a book that involves MFM romance. |
Received an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review. Talk about a scorcher! I do wish there had been more about their relationship before they jumped into sexy times, but Klein wrote a story that kept me invested. I wanted to see how Sean could make Max understand what he wanted and I loved seeing how Claire struggled with her feelings for both me. If anything, my only negative comment is that I wanted more...more about them, more love scenes, more about them after...just more. |
Typically I'm a sucker for a good menage story, even more so when all of the characters have no limits between the characters, but this story just didn't work for me at all. Sure the sexy times between the three of them were hot, but OMG I felt like I was being jerked around by all the hot and cold going on between them. It's like they were full steam ahead one moment, and then in the next they'd put the breaks on so hard I got whiplash! I won't even mention the overdone plot and it's predictability, because my aforementioned issue was enough for me. I will say that it did have real potential character wise, but the relationship between the guys felt so forced and out of character for one of them. I just couldn't rationalize this new found draw they had for one another. So I guess with all that said, I just can't recommend this one guys. |
It was an okay read but i think it could have been better. The part where the guy from her past who hurt her came for her again, I thought ended too quickly. He is crazy yet he didn't really do much apart from follow her and then later attack her. I would have wanted him to be much more creepy. In terms of the relationship between the three characters, I thought that was okay. I liked that they decided to be intimate only when all three of them could be there to participate. However I feel that the relationship between each pair (Claire/Sean, Claire/Max, Sean/Max) could have gotten stronger if they had occasionally been twos and not always working as a three. |
This is a fast-paced ménage read with lots of steam! The story is fast paced with lots of drama and suspense and really great characters. I really liked it. |
I like a good ménage story but sometimes it’s a tough sell getting me to believe in the connection between all three members and that it’s solid enough to go the distance. A relationship with two people is hard enough, but you add that third in and it can be seemingly impossible. Sometimes it’s easier to believe in the connection if it’s a true love match between all three people. The MMF aspect of Theirs to Protect, with a best-friends to lovers twist to it between the men is what drew me to this story. I was a bit disappointed, though, when it was all said and done. Individually I liked all three characters. Claire is a college student who left her home after a horrific attack by the town’s golden boy. She was basically run out of town and her attacker went to a psychiatric facility vowing revenge. When she gets the notice that her attacker is free, and then finds out that the bodies of several women have been found who were attacked in the same way, she decides it’s time to run. Before she does, though, she thought she’d go for broke and live out a fantasy. She’s had it bad for both her hot roommates but can’t figure out which one she wants more so she’ll take both if only for one night. Sean, a firefighter, is the more sensitive one of the group. He goes all in as he’s head over heels for Claire plus harbors a secret attraction to Max. Max, a police officer (yes, Claire has hit the first responders jackpot!), happens to be bisexual when the occasion fits. He not only wants Claire, he is secretly in love with Sean. He’s been burned in the past with a ménage and is a bit gun shy. This is when the angst hits in full force. These three are hot together, and when the sexy shenanigans are happening they fit together seamlessly. But, when they are apart, the only one all in seems to be Sean. There was so much back and forth “should I stay or should I go” going on, I wanted to toss my ipad. While all this angst and mystery is thrown out there, the ending just kind of glossed over most of the issues. There was no explanation of the fallout from what happened to the bad guy. Claire’s family situation was whacked and we got no resolution to this. We also never got a clear picture of them in a cohesive group. The decision was made, end of story. After so much angst and back and forth, it was tough to believe they made it. This was one of those reads that had a lot of promise but just never really came together for me.

Great book, well written. Loved the interactions between the three main characters,enjoyed the tender moments, the humorous one and the sexy as hell ones. |

This is my first read of this author and I thought it was good. I like the underlying tension between the two males and the fact that she was open enough to accept and even push towards a happy conclusion. I will likely be looking for more from this author. |
3.5 Stars Theirs to Protect is a steamy, hot, quick read. I enjoyed the interaction between these characters and a quite enjoyable plot. |

Normally, I try to stay away from books with these types of relationships. I was glad that I read the description of the book and gave it a try. I loved these characters and really enjoyed getting to know them. Claire is running from something in her past and is living with Sean, a firefighter, and Max, a cop. Sean and Max are friends. One night they all decide to cross the line and things get ... steamy! After this episode, Claire's past catches up with her and rather than see her men hurt she decides to run. Sean and Max have other ideas. The story is a quick read with enough romance to make it very hot. I would definitely read other books by this author. |
Whew! What a hot book!!! Enjoyed the chemistry between the three. |
A quick, steamy read that definitely raised the temperature in the room. One of my favourite types of these stories - the characters all feel the attraction but don't act on it until an outside force encourages them and sets them on the right track for their future. Tasteful, yet steamy scenes but nothing too out there. The twist of the old boyfriend really added to the drama as well. |
Such an awesome find! This book is hot and with a plot attached it's hotter. The way the characters interact with each other is very sexy. |
This book had it all....love, sex, angst, intrigue and murder. Usually MMF romances are cookie cutter and lack true characters, but with this book I was extremely surprised. Max, Sean and Claire had depth to their characters and the plot surrounding them kept me reading. The sex scenes were so hot I was blushing but they were also sweet and romantic. Overall this book was a pleasure to read and I would highly recommend it. |
Ms. Klein has done a good job with this job. Good overall writing. |
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book Clair is dealing with a bad past, She has moved in with 2 HOT gorgeous men who also have a damaged past, Max and Sean, they both want Clair since the moment they laid eyes on her, The three become best friends. Max has been hurt badly before but wants Sean and Clair to be happy so he tries to get them together. One night the three take it further then they ever have and realize that they are soul mates. This book has it all, Mystery, secrets, and hot steamy sex. And a wonderful HEA ending. |
It was a good read for a quicky, story was well written but I expected a bit more based on the summary. Got the feeling that I was left a little bit with hunger for more. For a menage book I read much much worse, so this was a welcome surprise being it wasn't overly gross (sexual) and the story was believable. I just couldn't get into it but had a lot on my mind so maybe it was my fault. Overal a good book for reading without thinking. |
I loved this book it had a great plot,wonderful characters and was really well written.Just loved Sean he knew exactly who he wanted and went for it,were as Max having been hurt before ran from what he wanted,i loved the fact that no matter what they wanted to protect Claire who was also trying to keep them safe.This was a super read of three people trying to find happiness would recommend this to all its a super read |
