The best things about this book were erotic scenes and this is approximately when it all ends. The story was quite weak.

Bent For His Will by KyAnn Waters is a m/m/f erotic romance. Logan Sawin and Will Pennington have been friends for years. They attend the same university and live together in a great loft apartment. Their friendship can withstand anything, except Renna Polo. Logan has never questioned his sexuality until he sees Renna, his girlfriend, in Will's arms. Will is gay. But what bothers Logan more, Will's hands on Renna...or Renna's hands on Will? Will has a dirty little secret...he's in love with his best friend. Yet, Logan isn't gay and Will isn't willing to risk their friendship to discover if Logan isn't quite straight, but may be a little bent. Renna is in love with Logan and is intrigued by Will. She accepts what Logan and Will can't...they belong together. But if Logan and Will take a chance on more, where does that leave her? Right where she wants to be, with Logan and the man he loves.

Bent For His Will is the first romance of this style that I have read, and I was pleasantly surprise. I will admit to starting the book and feeling a bit like it was going to erotica with very little character development since it started off with a sex scene. However, there was a great deal of relationship and personal growth. I loved that Logan, Will, and Renna all struggled, but were committed to be honest and open with each other about what they wanted and what they needed- something that is not always the case in romance novels or real life. The conversations, realizations, and personal struggles of all involved was very detailed and well done. I also like that it does not happen in a vacuum- they each had support systems in place to help them work out the individual issues they needed to come to terms with. I really love that while they had a solution, and everyone was content in the end, readers finished the book knowing while there might be issues or problems that come up in the future the trio would talk and work them through together. That openness and honesty is what really made me happy and enjoy the read.

Bent For His Will is different from anything I have read before, in many ways. However, the honest character writing and their efforts to discuss and work out any problems impressed me. If only more real and fictional people would do the same.

There were a lot of parts in this book that I enjoyed and a few that I didn’t. I’m not sure if I agree with how okay Renna was with Logan’s feelings. Or how the sexual relationship started between Logan and Will since Logan was still with Renna at the time.
There were lots of erotic scenes in this story that include m/m and m/m/f.
I also felt that the book ended early and could have been extended with more of how their relationships played out.
Thanks NetGalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

I did not care for this book. None of the characters were likeable. All their "development" came out of nowhere and seemed like just devices to move the plot along. The main character didn't seem wonderful enough to have two people fighting for him. The whole move in together and live happily ever after was bizarre

2.5 stars.

Saw this on Netgalley and wanted to try it. It it was disappointing to say the least. Everything was too fast paced and I felt bad for Will. He always got the short end of the deal. And there was a very unsatisfied ending.

This is a really interesting story. Logan is so torn between what he thinks he wants and how to take what he needs. As you see the relationship develop between Logan and Will you can see this vulnerability in Will and Logan. Then when you add in Renna to the mix and how patiently she waits and understands that Logan just needs some time but does she have horrible timing in this book. It is a very steamy and complex relationship they have together.

I'm not a big erotica reader but I took on chance on this one because I do like M/M novels. It was reasonably short and easy to read, so the story happens really fast which not much character development. I wasn't a big fan of Logan really because in my opinion, he took advantage of his best friend, Will and how Will had long been attracted to him. I liked Will--and I felt bad for him. Renna, Logan's girlfriend, is intuitive to what is not yet going on between Logan and Will....eventually what will be. Lots of steamy, erotic scenes and much romance too, if that is what you are looking for!!

I voluntarily read a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is a very erotic story about a couple, Logan and Renna, who have a relationship that is getting stronger. Logan has a best friend, Will who is openly gay, and their relationship is starting to go beyond friendship towards sexual. The story deals with some of the problems they are encountering in their three way relationship. It is a good read that shows some of the ups and downs to their unique relationship.

This is the first book I have read by this author. I was very impressed with the storyline and writing. I do enjoy m/m/f books and this one ranks right up there with the most enjoyable ones. It sparked interest from the beginning and kept it through the end. I will definitely be looking for this author in the future.

Logan Sawin is smitten with his girlfriend Renna Polo but hasn’t said the L word yet. She is also loves being with Logan. Everything is going well until Logan breaks the no sleepover rule in the flat he shares with his best friend Will Pennington. Tensions between the three start as they consider what might be.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A fun romp of a read, it fell short for me in several areas. I didn’t buy Logan’s sudden interest in his long-time friend, and the level of angst felt unnecessary. The POV kept changing without any clear delineation, which made it difficult to keep the characters straight. The sexy times were nice, though a little over the top with the adjectives.

I received a free ARC via NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.

Bent for His Will is an erotic romance that will leave you sweating. Renna is a sexually adventurous young woman who is rapidly falling for Logan. Will is Logan’s best friend and roommate. He is also gay and has been in love with Logan forever unbeknownst to Logan. When Renna picks up on it she mentions it to Logan who starts to question his feelings for Will, Renna and about himself. I liked that the author included all the messy angsty feelings they all went through. My only problem with the story was I really didn’t like Logan the guy everyone was in love with.
