I’m strong. I’m strong. I’m strong.
This is my raw, emotional journey, and the two men who attempt to mend my fragile innocence.
I learned from an early age that monsters are real. They don’t lurk beneath the bed, instead, they hide in plain sight. When I ran, I thought I was free, but monsters never die quite that easy. The two princes who eased my pain, healed my wounds, and stole my heart … princes who eased my pain, healed my wounds, and stole my heart may have showed me love, but my monster returned, and that’s when the fairytale ended.
Can I save what little of myself I have left? Or will the monster take that too?more
Mostly I don’t like menage, tringles, but this story captivated from the first pages. Two sexy, strong, amazing alpha-males and this fragile, yet so strong woman, who has some demons of hers, but who tries to build together her shattered soul and life. It’s one hell of a story,book is filled with fascinating and dysfunctional characters..some are evil personified but mostly they are broken and damaged souls who have suffered at the hands of those who should love and protect them the most….
I loved this story and these characters very much! Great job.
I liked the premise. To repetitive particularly in the beginning.
Ella’s past was bizarre and dreadful. She is on the run from her monster and hopes he will never find her.
She meets Carter and Bennett and feels that maybe, just maybe, she can find happiness.
Fragile Innocence was memorable story about devastation, redemption, and hope.
PHENOMENAL READ!!!
I’m a huge Dani Rene fan. Fragile Innocence is such a phenomenal read. The storyline grips you and holds you captive until the very end. I love the characters. Their chemistry is remarkable and they’re beautifully written. I highly recommend this one.
Guilty pleasure of two guys with one girl. While these always stretch plausibility, they are so hot to read.
This book rocked! It was so dark and disturbing, just like l like my books!! I couldn’t put it down!
This was one awesome book. Loved how the story played out and the characters. This is a dark and intense read that keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time.
One of my favorite genres is menage, and this book didn’t disappoint! It’s the story of Ella, a beautiful, guarded woman with a very dark past. She doesn’t believe in relationships until Carter and Bennett come along. They are best friends with a lot in common. When they meet Ella, they are entranced. Can they change her ways? There are many twists and turns in this book and it keeps you guessing throughout. This author has a way of making you feel as if you personally know these characters with how descriptive she is. Do they all end up together? You will need to read this book in order to find out! Totally loved this book!
This book was a wonderful read. I fell in love with the characters and my heart broke for Ella. I loved how she grew as a person from start to finish. She was an amazing character. I also loved both Bennett and Carter although, and this is the reason I didn’t give this book 5 stars, I wish there was more about their lives and more character development for them. Their stories felt rushed. I would definitely tell people to read this but I did expect more from this author after reading some of her other books.
I have to say this is not my normal go to genre but i really liked this book and the connection Ella, Carter and Bennet have with each other
It’s so dark and sexy, that i read it in one go.
Thank you Dani for making me like the genre a lot more
A girl that wants to escape her past. It is a very dark past that taunts her. She meets two guys who are used to get what they want.
I like the menage and the different approach Dani René has taken in it. My heart ached for Ella because the authors use of words are so magnificent.
Amazing sexy read. Very well written short story with great storyline and plot. The characters are well described and develops nicely. They are likeable and I had a great time reading this story. A story with twists that only makes it better and more captivating. A book with lots of chemistry and passion. Their relationship is fast paced.
It is written in multiple POV which gives the reader much more of the thoughts and feelings of the main characters. The story flows nicely and it is very captivating.
Wow what an amazing story, definitely not for the shy reader. Ella has been thru so much in her life, she is now in hiding looking for some sort or happiness and normalcy.
Carter and Bennett are both strong alpha males, when they see Ella they know they can make her happy and help her heal. Read how this unlikely trio finds happiness together after such a traumatic past for all of them.
First of I’m gonna start by saying I don’t read a lot of ménage books. But this book, WOW!! This book had me from the start, it was so raw, so much emotion going thru my mind that I couldn’t put it down. It was emotional, steaming hot, with some twist thrown in there just to keep you on your toes.
Ella,has suffer so much in life. She is running and is broken but does her best to keep the memories buried deep down inside. She is offered a job out side the country and she takes it and her journey begins.
Carter and Bennett are best friends and they love to shared their women. When Carter sees Ella he has to have her. There is something in her that calls to him. He tells Bennett and they both agree to do everything in their power to be with her. Only they don’t know she is broken but when they find out, they do everything in their power to fix her and make her feel again.
This story is hot, dark and oh so emotional in every level.
If m/f/m, m/m/f is your thing you will not be disappointed and it f is not give it a try too. I promise you that it would take you on an erotic ride!!!
5 starts read
I read an ARC and this is my honest review.
Ella is trying to take back her life after suffering at the hands of her abuser, a man she thought she could trust. She needs to keep moving to make sure he doesn’t find her. She takes a new job in London, surely she’ll be safe there, miles away from him! She runs from a monster and into the world of two very handsome men, maybe one of them can help her trust again.
Carter and Bennett have been best friends since school. They know exactly what they want and aren’t afraid to go for it, whether it’s in business or pleasure. They aren’t shy about sharing either, even when it comes to women.
Will the three of them find a happy ending together? Or will Ella’s lack of trust stop her from being happy?
This is my first read by Dani Renè and I wasn’t disappointed at all – it’s dark and has twists you don’t see coming. It definitely keeps you guessing what will happen next. This author has the ability to help you connect with the characters. I will be making sure I pick up more of this authors work in the near future.
Dani Rene is one of the best authors out there for dark romance. You can actually feel the story as it moves along and so many heart breaking moments. One of the best parts though is Dani Rene makes her books inspirational. The main character has gone through a horrific life and yet she’s strong even when she thinks she isn’t. It makes you look at someone who has gone through so much trauma and not only survives but thrives in finding her new place in the world. Some menage books I’ve read have been heavy on the sex scenes and light on the story. This author makes sure the story is there.
As much as I would love to give this book 5 stars, there was one problem for me. While I appreciate the chemistry of the main characters it seemed like they came together way too fast especially considering Ella’s past. On a positive note the steamy scenes between Ella, Carter and Bennet were definitely hot and full of chemistry. Just wish there was a little more progression and not so immediate. Still well worth the read!
I’m as shaken up as a snow globe could be reading this story. Fair warning that this is a dark read filled with delicious MFM and even some MMF delights that were off the charts smoking. Ella has been given a horrific past that she fights through daily with the memories that will never leave. When she comes the interest of best friends Carter and Bennett truths are revealed and we’re taken through a dark emotional past filled with a sexually charged present intertwined. Throughout this book I’ve gone from turned on to tears and nail biting moments, I couldn’t read fast enough to see what was going to happen. There are moments where I want to call dibs on Carter then I switch to Bennett I just can’t make up my mind and in the end I think I’ll just have them both. Phenomenal edge of your seat story that is a must read! This is my unbiased and voluntary review.
Reading a review for this book is not easy. If I am honest I struggled with this book.
For the first part of the book that was caused mostly because I couldn’t stand Carter and in lesser degree Bennet. The whole “I am God’s gift to woman and I don’t take no for an answer” attitude just annoyed me.
I grow to like them after seeing them take care of Ella. Ella was an amazing character. A lot stronger then she thought she was.
The other part is that the book jumped around a bit. Going very abruptly for scene to scene. I missed transmissions.
I just didn’t really connect with the book..
3.6 Burning Hearts
I enjoyed the premises of this story
The plotline is well developed and engaging – The romance and suspense blended smoothly though there where areas I truly wished for more with regards to the characters and back scenes- but that is me.. I am greedy that way
I savored the relationship between Ella and Carter and Bennett- their relationship was delicate and sensually built-
I do wish there was a bit more detail with regards to Carter and Bennett (you have to read it I am not telling)
Overall it was a very intense and emotional story
The characters were detailed and progressive – I especially enjoyed Carter
There were some pieces of the puzzle that were missing and left me with too many questions, and certain scenes felt rushed which is why I dropped a star
I love, love, love ménage, I love dark romance and I love Dani and her writing. So it should not come as a shock that I love this book! Carter, Bennett and Ella are perfectly written. The backstory and then that bit of a twist, whoa didn’t see that coming but it worked. It all freaking worked! This is a must read for fans of Dani, dark romance and ménage alike, you won’t be disappointed.
OK I am the first to scream I don’t do menages. I am so glad I let it go and read this one. I admit it I only read it because of the author but oh well. The story is gripping, devastating, the ugliest of ugly as you get the background on what has her with a mantra that declares “I am strong”. It’s molestation and rape and betrayal of the worse kind. Until she meets them. They let her know she is safe. They let her know she is whole. They let her know she is loved.
It isn’t an easy story to read no this author doesn’t do those kinds of reads. It is ugly, it is brutal as she does so well. It tears you to shreds as they learn their truths which she feeds you one tidbit at a time. Then slowly, gently, lovingly, they put the pieces back together. In the end you are allowed to breathe again.
