Temptation is a sneaky bitch that brought two men in my life and I wanted them both. One left without saying a word. The other asked me to be his and I said yes. I moved on…so I thought. Life isn’t a fairytale. Everyone has a secret. Everyone has a flaw. And mine? Well, sometimes vows aren’t for everyone. They say there’s two sides to every story, but the truth makes three. In case you didn’t … you didn’t hear me the first time, let me repeat it.
Life isn’t a fucking fairytale.

All i can say is WOW. This one hooks you from the begining. Olivia, Damien and Jaxon have a great love. Need more.
This story was super hot, super mysterious and full of angst. Olivia, Damien and Jaxon are all intertwined in a story that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Just when you think you know what’s going on there’s another twist on the road that leaves you spinning. The relationship between Damien and Jaxon is very complex. They’re like brothers, having been college roommates, but at times it seems like they dislike each other. They are super competitive especially when it comes to Olivia.
I was completely engrossed in this story. The hotness level is through the roof. There’s intrigue and a lot of suspense. There are many secrets and lies that surround Olivia and by the time they are revealed it may be too late for one or all of them. I could not put this book down, waiting to see where this story would take me next. And that cliffhanger, OMG!!! I have to read the next book right now.
Mind Blown! I’m gonna have this book hangover until the next book comes out! Damien, Olivia and Jaxon are all such complex characters you never know whats gonna happen. There were so many twists and turns that just blew my mind away! Its so hard to just get a read on Damien and Jaxon and the shockers you don’t see coming. That cliffhanger just wow! Seriously can’t wait for the next book to see how everything unfolds! I don’t want to give away any spoilers so just read it you won’t regret it!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Wow, this was the first time I’ve read a book by this author and I must say it again . . . Wow, what the h3ll!?! I have no idea what will happen next but you can bet I will be waiting to see. There is intrigue and mystery, romance and chemistry off the charts in this book. The sex scenes are enough to make a girl pant. At first, I thought, what is up with this girl Olivia being to meek and submissive to her dominating husband and then having the courage to defy him; but as the story progresses, the characters bloom and the intricacies between the three main characters become more apparent as their shared history unfolds. You start to see steel in Olivia’s spine as she still internally fights for that past love she can’t deny. But the ending gets me, man what happens.
I enjoyed the book and the story, however I do think some changes need to be made. I would look at changing the names at the beginning of the chapters to reflect who’s point of view or who’s talking. I would start a chapter and go back to see who’s talking and it’s not who is at the beginning of the chapter. This made it more difficult to follow, so before every change in point of view the name at the beginning should be changed.
I enjoyed the hot scenes. The cliffhanger was a doozy too!
Warning: total shock factor – twisted love story
I never dreamed this book would be what it turned out to be. There is so many questions I need answer like yesterday. I’ve never read this author, but I need to know what happened PRONTO!! The characters are twisted and secretive. And I was mind blown by the back story behind why. UGH!!! Well done, Marie Skye! Now give me another book!!
Jaxon, Olivia, and Damien are these characters that have been intertwined for a long time. Daniel and Olivia have been married for a year. They are completely in love. Things happen that are super steamy and hot – and things change.
Truly this crazy, twisted, steamy love story – buy it today!!
Good read- needs editing!
I really enjoyed this book by Marie Skye. It a menage between Jaxon and Damien and their love interest Olivia. There is some suspense/intrigue that is easy to figure out, but makes the plot. The sex scenes are steamy- both one-on-one and with the three of them together at the end. There are some dark themes/violence, but not overtly. I really enjoyed the story and want to read the next one. . . having said that, this book needs editing. The comma placements are terrible. There are way too many of them and they are never in the right place. This is not just a once or twice mistake, almost every other sentence has a misplaced comma and it makes for stilted reading. At around 41%, there is a part that is supposed to say ‘assess’, but is spelled ‘asses’. . . I had to reread it four times before my mind computed what it should have been, haha. There are other editing mistakes that would probably be minor, but everything with the commas really added up.
Don’t Let Me (The Simplicit Duet #1)
By Marie Skye
Rated 5 stars
Holy Smokes!! This is one of the crazy mixed up story! Dang just as I thought I was figuring things out? Another twist I didn’t see coming. This is awesome storytelling. To be able to Bring in the Reader then slowly reveal tidbits about the characters/situation. Amazing! At times I’m sitting here with a frown on my face…thinking why? Why would you do that??? Act like that??? But don’t worry ALL is revealed. From looking at the cover this isn’t a book Type that I typically read. But I have read all this authors books and love them so I tried to grit my teeth and bear it. I loved the story underneath besides all the extremely H-O-T sexy times. (*fans Self*). These characters are very well done! I really can’t say enough good things about this book.
I would be curious how the author wrote this book. From beginning to end? Or past then Present? She did a wonderful job not spoiling anything along the way but leaving holes that my inquiring mind wanted to know. This is quite the love triangle and I can’t wait for the second book.
Don’t Let Me (Simplicit Duet Book 1) By Marie Skye. This book was everything I was looking for and so much more. I’ve read this author before so I knew I was in for a treat but wow it was incredible. The characters are to die for and with a storyline that had my eyes glued to its pages I was gone before I knew it. The author does a wonderful job of of writing a unique story that stands out from the rest. Huge fan of the writing style and character development. I’d like to say I have a favorite but that’s impossible. I will however say I’m waiting not so patiently for book 2. I’m giving this story a five star review and highly recommend it!
Don’t Let Me is the first book in the Simplicit Duet and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. I had no idea what to expect when I picked up this book but now I cannot wait to get my hands on more. The crazy twists and turns of this book kept me interested and it also had a nice bits of romance and betrayal. Oh and you can’t forget the secrets. Sooo soo many secrets. The main characters Olivia, Damien and Jaxson keeps me on my toes and I couldn’t wait to see what was coming up next. I am looking forward to reading more by this author and I would recommend this to a friend!
Dude, WTF.!!!!
This will be a spoiler free review but please know that I wish I could put my phone number in this review so you could call me when you finish reading it so we could chat.
DON’T LET ME grabbed me in the beginning, the middle dragged a little as I was hoping the story would move quicker and then the end is there and I was left trying to squeeze more pages out of my Kindle.
I have questions, lots and lots of questions.
The story is very well plotted. It is told in multiple points of view and switches between past and present tense so you have a fair idea of what is actually happening.
This story packed a powerful punch for me and I’m just going to be over here in the corner rocking while waiting for book 2.

How in the world did I never read anything by this author before?! Shame on me!
This book was amazing and intriguing.
I was so torn with this book and all it made me feel. I didn’t know which way was right. I need to know more as some things just weren’t answered for me and the way this left off I was screaming at my kindle and the author in my head.
To have a writer turn me to being angry at fictional characters and actions, that’s a true talent!
When’s the next one coming out?! I need it lol
Don’t Let Me is the first novel in the Simplicit Duet by Marie Skye. This is my third novel by this author.
The history between Olivia, Jaxon and Damien is filled with passion, lies, deceit and love. Olivia has feelings for both men but when one leaves without a word the other is there to pick up the pieces but is there more going on?
The relationship between the characters was definitely keeping me on the edge of my seat. This is short novel that I went right through. After the way the novel ended, I definitely can’t wait until the next book is released. I need to know what happens next!
Anything this author writes, I know I have to read. I also know it’s going to be an emotional roller coaster filled with twist and turns and I was not disappointed.
I don’t want to spoiler anything. I just highly suggest you read it.
Don’t let me by Marie Skye is not the first book I have read by her so I am familiar with her writing but, all I can say is wow!!! I need more ASAP. This book had me a bit confused in the beginning but it all falls into place. The story of Damien, Jaxon and Olivia will suck you in from page one. Everyone’s favorite Mr Mandrake even makes an appearance.
This is a book about two best friends Jaxon and Damien who always have shared what they had. If Jaxon had something Damien wanted, he took it and vice versa. Now with Olivia, something has changed. Damien allows Jaxon to have Olivia for 2 days but that it all and it is never to be spoken about again. Is 2 days enough for Jaxon ? Is 2 days enough for Olivia ? Jaxon disappears and when he comes back into town, he finds out Olivia and Damien are married. Jaxon has his own plans for Olivia. Everything seemed to be going well until Olivia took a trip to visit someone she should’ve never went to see. If you want a taste of a M/F/M read with some great characters, a great story and a lot of heat, this one is for you.
Don’t Let Me by Marie Skye is the first book in the Simplicit Duet. This book is hot, it is steamy and it will have you wanting more well after you have read the last page.
This boom is brilliant. Each of the three characters has their own draw. All of them pull you in and all of them get you hooked. The author has done an amazing job at defining each of them and showing what they are about individually,m. And when they are together in any capacity it just works so well.
And I have to say that this cover has to be one of the beta covers I have seen for a long while. It is eye catching, tantalising and does everything it should do in terms of drawing the reader in. I would have read this book for that cover alone. I would highly recommend this book!
Don’t Let Me (The Simplicit Duet #1) by Marie Skye
5 out of 5 stars
Don’t Let Me is book one in the Simplicit Duet written by Marie Skye. Argh I have read a few books by Ms. Skye but this book was everything I expected and more disepsion, romance, Stalking, betrayal, love, and a few twists you wouldn’t believe. The three main characters are well developed and played off each other’s quirks. All three characters Damien, Jaxson, and Olivia, are all strong willed and bring different aspects to the story.
Ms. Skye kept me engaged from the first page to the last page and I can’t wait to read the continuation of this story because I keep imagining different scenario’s on what might be coming next in book two. Just a heads up this is has a big cliffhanger….
I highly recommend this book and other books that Ms. Skye has written

Don’t let me by Marie Skye a five-star read you won’t want to let go. This is the first part of the Simplicity Duet and I can’t wait for the second part. This is such an intense and powerful story; Olivia is a compelling woman. The emotions running through this story between Olivia, Damien and Jaxson will swell your heart and make you smile, but its not all smiles and rainbows. I don’t want to say much more, as Marie Skye has this amazing talent of pulling the rug from under you and making you question what just happened as you definitely didn’t see it coming twists woven into the story so that they just flow smoothly.
Don’t Let Me by Marie Skyeis the first book in the Simplicit Duet. This book will have you hot and bothered one minute and the next minute you’re sitting there thinking to yourself, what did I just read.
Damien and Jaxon couldn’t be any more alpha and dominant if they tried and Olivia is powerless when it comes to these two men.
This story has several layers of interesting plot twists. The end will leave you speechless and wondering.
I have read almost everything Ms. Skye has written and even had the pleasure of meeting her once at a book signing. Her books grip you from the very beginning and refuse to let you go. Cannot recommend enough.
Oh this book…oh this author…every time Marie Skye puts words on paper my heart bursts! Every book, while each story is different, has the same underlying WOW!
This story seems to be a love triangle with the hint of a love threesome. But then there’s the danger of Olivia’s birth father and the sneakiness of Jaxon AND Damien. I really don’t know which one I am cheering for…oh wait yes, I do. It’s Olivia!
I love the title of this book because I had to say it plenty of times while reading it… “don’t let me” throw my kindle, “don’t let me” wake my sleeping family from my yelling, “don’t let me” message this author what I am feeling right now!
And I love reading books. I love reading series. I even like reading books with cliff hangers but when I don’t even see the cliff coming!! O.M.G. way to go Marie Skye! Way. To. Go. Definitely looking forward to book 2.
I would like to find Ms. Skye and just maybe gently smack her. This is the first book I have read by this author and W-O-W! I loved her writing style and her frequent use of my favorite word the F word lol. The storyline flowed smoothly, and I found myself torn for each of the three main characters at one point or another. Damien, Jaxson, and Olivia, each have something that draws you in and makes you not only root for them but be conflicted. There was suspense, surprises, mouth dropping moments, and some dang hot steamy scenes. This author’s work kept me engaged from the first page to the last page and I can’t wait to read other books by her, but most of all I can not wait for the continuation of this story because I have so many thoughts on what might be coming next. Don’t Let Me by Marie Skye is one of my fave books so far this year.
