Two paths: one new, one familiar. And a burning desire to choose them both…When Damon spots a stunning redhead on his plane, the pilot’s determined to get to know her better. It’s been a long time since he’s experienced an instant connection with anyone. The last time was with his former lover, who left without an explanation over five years ago, devastating him. Though now cautious when it … now cautious when it comes to relationships, MacKenzie just might be everything he’s looking for and more.
Not expecting to meet the tall, dark and handsome captain on her flight home, Mac finds Damon’s domineering persistence a turn-on. She decides to take a chance on him, which, in the end, might be a mistake when a person from his past returns. A man Damon loved and still does.
The last five years had been dark journey for Trevor, and he’s now ready to return to the light. He’s back in Boston to not only ask for forgiveness but to reconnect with Damon, since he still loves the man. However, there’s a complication. Damon is seeing someone else and Trevor might be too late.

This isn’t a genre that I would normally go for but I really enjoyed this book. I liked the connection between Damon and Mac. I didn’t like Trevor at first but he’s hard not love once you get to know him. They all meshed well together and I love how they didn’t fight their feelings for each other and worked hard to be together. I just wish there was more of their love story. I didn’t get enough. Will definitely explore this genre more.
I really liked this book! It was a great journey with the characters. I do wish we had gotten a little more on Trevor and his therapy but other than that I have no complaints and would definitely recommend it!
What a fantastic end to a wonderfully sexy series. The connection and chemistry between Mac, Damon, and Trevor is off the charts steamy. Damon and Trevor have history that is both beautiful and tragic. Mac meets Damon on one of his flights and they have a strong connection as well. The 3 decide to try a triad relationship and find they are perfectly suited to one another but not without some work. Sad to see this series end but Jeanne St. James could not have given us a better ending.
I absolutely loved this ménage twist on a second chance romance
Damon and Mackenzie (Mac) have chemistry from the minute they meet on his plane and it only grows the more time they get to know each other. Feeling like this could be his second chance at finding love, Damon is unprepared when Trevor unexpectedly returns to his life.
They had a relationship of dreams, or so Damon thought, until nightmares from Trevor’s past caused him to run. Sensing there is still a connection between the two men, Mac decides to step away from Damon even though her feelings have only gotten stronger. But an encounter with Trevor soon has her seeing him and their situation in a whole new light. I loved how determined she was to not only help the two men reconnect but also find her own happiness with them.
Damon is a bossy alpha with a heart of gold, Trevor was beaten down by life but never broken, and Mac is the strong, beautiful sassy woman who holds them all together.
The best surprise was the catch up with my past favorite ménage trio Gryff, Rayne and Trey. Who were there to not only dish out great advice but also bring the laughs.
This is the sixth book in the “Dare Menage” series and each book keeps getting better and better! This author knows exactly what she is doing when she puts pen to paper, she lures the reader into the story by making them feel like they are standing on the sidelines watching as the story unfolds! The storyline was well written, the plot flowed smoothly from page to page and the characters were written with great detail and depth! I absolutely loved the dynamics between the characters and the chemistry was so HOT between MacKenzie, Damon and Trevor that I couldn’t put this book down until I finished reading the very last page!
This is a sexy, at times sad, emotional rollercoaster ride!
Beautiful story , wonderfully written!
Loved it!
4 1/2 STARS!
Emotionally raw! My first read by Jeanne St. James will most definitely not be my last! With the next book in her Dare Menage series, she brings us the story of a sexy pilot who meets a woman who interests him just as his ex re-enters the picture. The banter is sexy and playful between Damon and Mac and once Trevor shows up, it turns emotional. I would have loved to see a bit more of their day-to-day lives spent together thrown into the mix a little bit, but overall it was a really great read.
Pilot Damon Brooks is floored by the instant connection he feels to the gorgeous red headed passenger he encounters as they’re disembarking the plane. He flirts with her and exchanges info because he’s determined to see her again.
MacKenzie Donovan isn’t looking for a man exactly, but she’s finding his domineering persistence a little hard to resist as Damon pursues her. She finally agrees to a date and can’t believe what a good time she has with the guy. Guess she’s on board after all!
Just when things are heating up between them, a blast from Damon’s past comes back … namely his ex-boyfriend who disappeared on their relationship without a word five years ago. Damon isn’t happy to see him, but Trevor is determined to beg for his forgiveness, explain his abandonment and see if there’s any hope left for them.
5 star review of A Daring Journey (The Dare Menage Series #6) by Jeanne St James
In my opinion, this series gets better and better with each new release. This story is about pilot Damon, the beautiful MacKenzie (Mac) and Trevor, the man who broke Damon’s heart.
Damon is attracted to a beautiful redhead who captures his attention on his flight, finally deciding that it is time he moved on, he cannot believe the connection he feels for Mac.
However just when things are finally going their way, Trevor, the man he loved with all his heart and soul suddenly returns.
What will this mean for the blossoming relationship between Mac and Damon? Will Damon be prepared to listen to Trevor’s explanation and find it in his heart to forgive him? Will Mac decide to withdraw from Damon?
The chemistry between all three of the characters was intense and overpowering and there were times I needed a fan to cool down. However, this is not just a hot and spicy book, it is a book that has depth and emotions and one that really got to me on numerous levels.
There were times that my heart just about broke reading this story. The pain and rejection that Damon felt when Trevor left him years ago, for all that Trevor went through, for Mac who might loose the man she has fallen hard for; it all makes for an emotional roller coaster of a read.
I really loved MacKenzie, her passion and her willingness to fight to have both men in her life was inspiring. She could easily have bowed out but her determination and strength of character was admirable and I was cheering for Damon, Mac and Trevor to get their happily ever after.
This book was well written, tugged at my heart strings and is perhaps my most favourite book in the series to date.
Jeanne has written another great book in the Dare Ménage series! It was fantastic! I loved Damon, MacKenzie and Trevor! Old love and new love mixed together make a very amazing story! They were the perfect match for each other! This was a very emotional story with great characters that pull you in from the start! I loved every word! Thank you Jeanne for giving us a wonderful series!
WOW! That is what comes to mind immediately after finishing this book. Damon, Trevor, and MacKenzie are a perfect symphony for healing. Jeanne St James seamlessly brought you into a world where you are not only cheering for a new romance that is full of so much promise but also cheering for a happy ending for a love crushed too soon. I could not put this book down! I have read all the other books in this series and this one is by far my favorite which is saying a lot considering I’ve loved them all! Come meet three completely different souls, that compliment each other in the most unexpected ways. I cannot believe this journey is over! Another wonderful book by Jeanne St James!
Mac, Trevor and Damon. Two strangers, two past lovers. One destination. This book pulled on all my heartstrings, specially Trevor. I cried more than once. There’s so much feeling and understanding in this triad, even with their bumpy beginning. And let’s not forget all the sexiness. It was great how the author brought the other triads together in this book. Lovely how they bring in their support. I am so sad this book is over. I loved it and wanted to keep on reading. But all good things come to an end. Awesome job Ms St James.
Just when Damon decides to try to find love again with a beautiful woman, Trevor, a lover from the past comes back into his life a throws a wrench into his plans. But when Trevor and Mac become close can a triad be formed and can love blossom? This was an emotionally driven story that is all about figuring out a path that works. The love all three of them displayed never once faltered as they work together to make the triad a success. I loved that former characters also had minor roles into helping Damon, Mac and Trevor find their way. Another fantastic and heart warming book in the series. Once again Jeanne St. James doe snot disappoint.
Damon, Mackenzie and Trevor. I loved the dynamic between Damon and Mac from the start of this book. She is a passenger on his plane and the sparks fly as he’s posted to say goodbye. She wasn’t interested in a relationship but Damon might just change her mind. Trevor is from his past. I wasn’t sure how to feel about Trevor. He disappeared without a thought to find himself. Damon was left wondering. Once the three of them find themselves attracted to each one in this unusual situation, there are some super emotional conversations. I was riveted to find out some motivations as to why the past happened the way it did. I loved seeing the previous couples in this series offer advice to them. This trio really came out of left field and I loved how they worked through what was needed. Jeanine St James never disappoints when it comes to emotional reads. She also writes some of the best and hottest bedroom scenes.
This is the sixth book in the Dare Menage series, and personally, I think it gets better with each book. They are not only hot storylines, but they’re emotional as well. Triads from the previous books show up in this one and play a role, but you could read this as a standalone if you’re new to the series.
MacKenzie (Mac), Damon, and Trevor might just be my favorite triad of them all so far. Their journey was filled with healing past hurts, forging a new relationship, and finding a new normal. My heart hurt for Damon. He was wrecked when Trevor left him years ago and still continued to be, although he thought he was ready to move on. However, my heart broke for Trevor and all he had endured and felt about himself and about love since he left. I can’t imagine going through all he did to get back to his first and only (maybe?) love. Mac was the rock for both of them. She was in such a delicate position, and it would have been easy for her to get lost to Damon and Trevor’s rekindling, but she stayed strong, allowing her growing feelings for the two men to guide her (an ultimately all of them) to the relationship they desired and deserved. The handling of Trevor’s past, how he revealed it to the two of them, and their reaction to him was beautifully written.
There is one scene, one part of a scene really, that some might take issue with. When the three first explore with each other, Damon is concerned for Mac. His inner dialogue has him saying they won’t be doing anything without a condom until Trevor is retested; until all of them are tested. However, in the next breath, Damon is encouraging Mac to take Trevor in her mouth, sans condom. This did seem contradicting and unsafe, especially considering that was Damon’s whole concern. Don’t get me wrong, the overall scene was hotter than heck and had me fanning myself. I just thought people should know going into it so they won’t let it negatively impact their thoughts on the overall story and their review. This is a series that is wonderfully written and I’m already ready for the next book.
*I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. This is my honest review.*
What do you do when you are meeting a gorgeous woman who has taken over your thoughts for drinks only to stare into the eyes of your ex? What do you do when that ex vanished five years ago with no word and now is begging for a chance to apologize, explain? Damon doesn’t want to open himself up to his ex, Trevor. He has finally moved on and Mac is quite possibly the one. She is funny and sweet, caring and sexy. When Trevor keeps pushing to speak with him, it is Mac who urges him to listen. Can an attraction between two people blend with a love between two others and form an amazing bond?
I haven’t read a ton of menage books; I have liked quite a few but some fell short in terms of emotion and mental intimacy. A Daring Journey isn’t one of those. The connection that you experience between Mac and Damon is palpable. They click on so many levels. Mac wasn’t sure that she wanted to get involved but Damon is too tempting by far. When Trevor comes into the mix, Damon’s pain is a living entity between the two men. When Mac sees how much they still love each other, her strength and compassion is what brings them together. When its revealed why Trevor left and where he has been just broke my heart. A Daring Journey was an intimate and beautiful story of a true relationship and partnership between three people. The sexy times but also the reality of day to day and the work you have to put in keeping that connection strong. This is a standalone story but I really loved my time spent with these characters. I will definitely be going back and reading the rest of the books in the series. 5 stars for A Daring Journey!
Intriguing book that keeps you wanting more! I loved this book and i finished it in one sitting! The chemistry and passion is intense and all I can say is OMG when these 3 are together! Another stellar story!
This book to me is about a new connection; exploring a new romance and finding someone who completes that part of you that is missing. It seems seamless and the spark of light is growing. It is also about facing your past hurts and learning to forgive even when you are unsure of the future. It is about a journey, learning who you are again and dealing with how you got to where you need to be. It is about learning to trust and taking risks even when your heart is on the line.
My heart ached, my breath hitched, my fist clinched, my laugh was loud, and my eyes watered during only just the first half of this book. The second half of the book, I was hopeful and cheering for the trio to find their balance and move forward together. This book was one of the most wonderfully written stories about all the above but also about the love shared between a triad.
I think I have read just about every one of Jeanne’s book and this one ranks very close to the number one position for me. I was given this book for my honest review, but I will be purchasing it for my bookshelf because I honestly love it that much. Well done Jeanne, well done.
I was quickly pulled into this steamy romance. This ménage romance focuses on the crossroads of a new love and an old one. Damon, Mac and Trevor share amazing chemistry and their romance is complex and complicated. I thought there was a very good balance between heat and emotions in this book.
