Unfortunately I struggled with the writing and the characters so I was unable to finish the book. It is not my cup of tea, but that doesn't mean it won't appeal to a different reader.

Though this is only my second book about a threesome, to which I am not into. I have to admit that I was captivated by the story and the pace of the events. I just wanted to read through it to see what was happening and at the end I felt like looking forward for the next book to follow up on Gracie's story. I find the author brave to get a story around body trafficking.

This book has some very tough situations so beware of triggers. It is a very intense thriller. I kept reading to find out what will happen next. The plot moves very fast. Tomas, Mateo, and Zoe are great together. And what an ending! Can't wait for Diamond.

This story was well written and I loved the characters and the suspense. And of course the sex scenes with M/M/F were sensual and erotic. I look forward to reading Diamond!!

Sapphire is the first book I have read by J.A. Low. This is a dark sensual story told by multiple POV, it is well paced and the character interaction can be quite intense at time. I look forward to reading more.

I thought this book was "ok," it didn't turn me away on not continuing to read. Some parts of the story were predictiable, but other times it wasn't. Honestly, I couldn't put it down.
The grammetical errors, did turn me off a little bit because they were noticeable, but I still continued to read the story. .

Would I read the next book in the series, yes, I would.
Would I jump right away, once the next book came out, I'm not sure.

Overall, it was a good read for me.

I have become a fan of J.A. Low with her Dirty Texas rockers so when I saw this I had to give it a try and I was not disappointed. This book isn’t afraid to touch on some intense subject matters and has you feeling everything from heart break, to lust, to love and everything in between. Mateo and Tomas find Zoe broken and beaten and take her in. What could ever become of this trio when they are thrown together and deal everything imaginable?

I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley for a free and honest review.

The was my first book from J.A. Low, and it was a doozy! I have always liked the menage genre, but she takes it to the next level. This book didn't disappoint me in any way. I enjoyed the setting, which is Spain, I enjoyed the romance of it, the suspense of it. I like that no one in this book was perfect. I can't say too much cause I do not want to give the story away. Just know this book gave me goose bumps in the best way. Do yourself a favor and read this. It's not your mama's romance. This book is told in alternating views.

I’m a big fan of menagè books, especially when it’s two guys, what’s not to love about that? When it’s two guys who are already in a relationship with each other? Well….then it has to be really good for me to be interested in it. I know I’m probably one of the few women who don’t get off on MM books, but that’s me.

Sapphire caught my attention right from the beginning, told in first-person in all three of the character’s views, it’s a story with sex, love, and suspense. We have Tomas and Mateo, who are partners but act as best friends and room mates in public due to Mateo’s career and Tomas’s family. Enter Zoe, they find her beaten and almost dead in front of their home. When she wakes, the only thing she ends up knowing is her age and her name on discharge, so the guys take her home with them. Zoe is attracted to the guys, and she’s quite surprised to find out they feel the same way, they are bi!

But Zoe remembers bits and pieces of her past, and when she learns who she is and what she was running from, the real danger begins. Can Tomas and Mateo keep Zoe safe, or will she end up back in the clutches of the evil men who she escaped from?

This was a great read, with 2 really hot latin lovers and one very spunky and heroic woman who falls for her rescuers! A definite keeper!

Outstanding story that had me so hooked I couldn't put it down....
Oh my... this book was steamy as all get out and the suspense had my heart going so fast I really felt so many emotions as the characters did and thoroughly enjoyed reading the entire wonderful heartwarming but also heartwrenching story!
My heart, soul and entire being wanted to be Zoe as she was experiencing things with Tomas and Mateo, the heat off the pages was so sizzling you may need something to cool down! I know I certainly did!!!
The author can write an incredible romantic suspense that will have you wanting so much more and then....that ending....is it November yet????

Sapphire by JA Low is the first book in the Bratva Jewels series.
Sapphire contains mm, mfm and mmf scenes.
Meet Tomas, Mateo and Zoe.
Tomas is a business man who is madly in love with Mateo, a actor and artist. Their relationship is deep in the closet. And then they find a badly beaten young women with amnesia.
Zoe is a mystery. She doesn't remember her name, her family and her life in general. And I almost wished her that it stays that way. She had to endure unspeakable things. My heart hurt for her.
This book has everything in it, drama, violence, hurt, love and more, much more.
I really liked the story, the writing and the characters.
I give 4,5 stars and really can't wait till the next book in the series releases. Thank you JA Low!

I am not a ménage reader normally and neither have I read m/m stories but I do love a good romantic suspense and I had heard a lot about this book and really wanted to give it a go and I am glad I did, I enjoyed it very much it is hot, hot and more hot, sexy and steamy and it had me turning the pages to see what happens with Tomas and Mateo after they find the badly battered woman on their doorstep.

Zoe has had her life turned upside down after meeting a very gorgeous Russian in a bar one night, kidnapped as a sex slave and becoming Sapphire one of the Batva Jewels and never does she think that she could end up in love with two of the most handsomest males on the planet actor and artist Mateo and billionaire businessman Tomas, but these two guys save her life and open up a whole new world to her in an extremely sensual and caring way.

Mateo and Tomas are lovers and very much in love but they keep their secret well for various reasons so when they find a young woman on their doorstep brutally beaten and close to death they do everything they can to help she cannot remember anything that has happened to her so they take her in and do what they can to help her regain her memory and the nature of love takes its course they never thought that a third partner would be just what they needed.

When her memory returns they realize how much danger there is with the Russian mafia after Zoe but not only is Zoe in danger but her sister Gracie and Tomas and Mateo. This is a fast paced story with a lot going on and I didn’t want to put the book down. I loved the strength and courage that Zoe shows and the love and caring that the boys show to her. I read out of my normal comfort zone and thoroughly enjoyed it and I do highly recommend this one if you enjoy erotic romance with a fabulous romantic suspense thrown in. The HEA is wonderful it will have you smiling but bring on the next book in the series.

4.5 Star review of Sapphire (Bratva Jewels Series #1) by J.A. Low

Book one in Ms. Low's new series is raw and gritty dealing with the Russian Mafia along with the sex trafficking trade; it is most certainly a darker read.

I admired Zoe's determination to escape the horrors of being forced into the sex trafficking trade. When a badly beaten, near death Zoe is found and rescued by Tomas and Mateo she finds herself safe for the first time in ages.

The storyline is gripping and had me riveted from the start. The dynamic as well as the sex scenes between Zoe(Sapphire), Tomas and Mateo is smoking hot and you can feel the air sizzle between them as they fall in love.

The fear is evident as Zoe's horrific past catches up not only to her and her men but also her family.

Can Tomas and Mateo keep her safe? You will have to read Sapphire to find out.

I await with interest the next book in the series.

I was hooked from beginning to end. Great start to a new series! Mateo and Tomas are best friends to the outside world and lovers behind closed doors. When they find a woman badly beaten and no memory they decide to take her in. As her memory begins to come back the danger in her past does at well. Lots of drama and suspense with great characters and oh so steamy. I loved it!

5 Stars!

I knew J A Low was good from my previous experience with her writing but damn.... she killed it with this book... and definitely her absolute best to date.

Brand spanking new series. Brand spanking new book. Brand spanking new characters. It's about to get really hot, a little secretive, and oh so delicious with this addicting, new menage romance.

Sapphire is the first standalone in the Bratva Jewels series... one you cannot miss. Sexy. Suspenseful. Twisted. Intense. Passionate. Seductive. Tantalizing. Forbidden. This book hit all my marks for the perfect romance and firmly landed itself on my top books this year. Mateo, Tomas, and Zoe were...everything.

To the world they have it all... money, fame, fans, and an endless supply of women waiting... yet behind closed doors they have a love full of desire and passion... that forever kind of love.

Then she shows up in from of their home... battered, wounded, and unknown of who she is or what happened. And the more they spend time with each other, the more she starts to shake up their lives.

Feelings get involved and now three hearts are on the line.

Truths revealed. Secrets exposed. Danger lurks. It might be complicated. It might be twisted. It's not gonna be easy at times. But a love like theirs, bursting with so much beautiful, is a love worth...everything.

Read this book and discover a new author. I mean it also helps that menage romances are my thing like I have a huge lady boner for them... in a big way. But this book... it's a must read!

I highly recommend this book.

Out for a night of fun with her sister, Zoe thinks she meets the man of her dreams. It’s only when he is taking her back to Russia to meet his “family” that his deception comes to light and Zoe is forced to become one of the Bratva Jewels, one of the Russian mafia’s most desired escorts. When she tries to escape, she is beaten and left for dead.

Mateo and Tomas are best friends and lovers . . . but their jobs and family keep them firmly in the closet. When they happen upon a badly beaten and unconscious woman, their lives are changed forever.

When she wakes, she has no memory of who she is or what happened to her. Mateo and Tomas agree to allow her to stay with them so that she can be released from the hospital. What they never expected was to find they are both attracted to her while remaining in love with one another.

As Zoe slowly starts to remember bits and pieces of her past, her life becomes more and more entwined with Tomas and Mateo and when they declare their attraction to her and offer her a permanent place in their lives and relationship, she can’t resist.

Of course, the Russian mafia is not about to let one of their famous jewels escape . . . and when they realize Zoe is alive, they will stop at nothing to steal her back. Will Tomas and Mateo be able to keep her safe, or will the mafia destroy them all?

Sapphire, by J.A. Low was intense, amazing, full of suspense, ridiculously steamy and just toe curling good!

Tomas and Mateo are hotter than hell and oh-so alpha. Their love for one another is real, and I enjoyed them struggle to see how Zoe fit in the picture once they both realized she was the missing piece to a puzzle they thought was already complete.

Zoe is one strong, intelligent, sassy and all-around kick ass woman. She is definitely not a damsel in distress and will do whatever it takes to survive while protecting those she loves, including forfeiting her own freedom.

If you enjoy a menage, this book is not to be missed. Heck, even if you enjoy a great romantic suspense one-click now. It’s a great mix of super sexy romance and dark suspense that is woven together masterfully by the author.

Sapphire does have a much darker vibe than the author’s Dirty Texas series, so if you have triggers, check out the blurb and reviews first.

5 stars! The Bratva Jewels series is off to an amazing start! I can’t wait to read what is up next for Diamond!
