Prison or a life of luxury? Let me think… powerful man in the city.
And given the opportunity to climb out of the gutter.
Right into the bed of Xavier Ashburne.
There’s only one catch. Alec isn’t quite up to Xavier’s standards. Not yet.
His head of security, Luther Cross,the only man Xavier considers his equal, sees something in Alec worth more than anyone ever has. Bound by the rules of his unique relationship with the temperamental millionaire, Luther’s training could decide Alec’s entire future. But giving in to temptation could destroy it.
Alec’s value is in what he must become.
Sensual.
Submissive.
And…
Polished.

It was so good to read another book from one of my favorite authors. This was a quick read, and from the looks of it, there will be two more after this, which I am so happy about. Yes, Alec, Xavier, and Luther’s story could end here, and I would be happy, but I will be ecstatic if I can read more of these three together.
Starving and desperate, Alec is in the wrong place at the wrong time. All of his life, he’s been the odd man out with his family. Fear for his life sends him to the streets, barely getting by. When hunger gets the best of him, he goes in on a job with his brothers. They leave him high and dry to take the fall, but he falls into a situation he never could have imagined.
Xavier and Luther have been together for years and have built Xavier’s fashion empire from the ground up. While they love each other, they aren’t as close as they could be. When Alec enters the picture, Luther thinks he might be what they need to fulfill them both.
Alec takes to his new job immediately, and desperately wants to be known for his good work there, not for being a play toy for the boss-man. He knows that if things go south, he can use what he learns to make a better life for himself. He can’t help but plan for failure, when all he’s ever known is hunger and the back of a hand.
I’m excited to see where this series will go, and anxious for the next part of the story! Will Alec be able to bridge the divide between these powerful men? Or will he be merely a passing fancy for them? Will his brothers manage to ruin everything?
Bianca’s books are always riveting and exciting, with a goodly amount of kink and a whole lot of heart underneath it all. I can’t wait to see what’s next for these three men.
I read this book without putting it down. I did not eat, did not drink, no sleep, not even a bathroom break. THAT is how awesome this book was. It was a fairly fast read, for me anyway. There was not a slow part in it and I kept wanting to know what happens next. Yes, I would love to see a book two come out. Alec , oh so sweet with a heart of gold. I wanted to just squeeze him. Luther, the security guy and lover to Xavier but something is missing. Xavier, the one in control or so he thinks. I loved the story of how these three find their way together and how each role in their relationship becomes defined. Who ultimately helps put all things in sync.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
5 Star Review of Polished (New Rules #1) by Bianca Sommerland
A quick, hot MMM read which was a surprise release from Bianca Sommerland.
Forced to become a thief by his brothers Alexander (Alec) Tremaine is horrified when they leave him behind to be caught by Luther Cross, the head of security for Xavier Ashburne.
When Luther sees something in Alex he decides that Alec may just what he and Xavier are seeking; all he needs is training.
From the beginning it is obvious that Xavier and Luther have a complicated relationship, one that Alec is trying to understand. Even more obvious is that while one is willing to give his trust, the other isn’t.
Alec is determined to become the man that Luther and Xavier need. It will take a great deal of courage by all three men but it will all be worth it, or will it?
This story is one of hope, of love and courage. It is a story of strength and determination to overcome. I loved the relationship between Luther and Xavier as well as Luther and Alec and it was interesting to watch the relationship between Xavier and Alec develop.
Bianca Sommerland has an affinity for this genre and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great MMM story.
This was a sensual read, with emotions layering and tripping over each other. It was an extremely sexy read, with anticipation crackling around our characters every time they are near each other, with it spilling over, and having to be reined back in at times.
The lives our characters live, and have lived, are stark, yet, they react differently. Their differences compliment each other, making this trio complete only when all together. Getting together isn’t an easy path. One trusts too easily, one is too scared to trust even himself, and the other has been hurt too many times to trust. They work through the pain to find the person they are and want to be, and then, and only then, can they be the person they want to be with the others. When they finally work that out, as hot as they are separately, or in a pair, the three together are combustible!
Bianca Sommerland surprised me with this unexpected story when it turned up on my kindle it was completely out of the blue but what a pleasant surprise it was and let me tell you this quick read really packs a punch it drew me in from the very first page and the characters captivated me. I don’t want to give you a review with lots of spoilers in and I don’t want to repeat the blurb what I will say is this is one of the hottest books I have read this year and it’s one of the most beautifully written love stories I have read in a while so I’m leaving you with this book is a must read for all fans of Bianca Sommerland or MMM reads. Great job Bianca Sommerland
