Their first meeting was intense.Their second was epic.They’ve played so well together, but…Playtime is over.What happens when they refuse to let her go?**This story is not for the faint of heart. It is a suspenseful, raw, Dark Romance with elements of Power Exchange. Scenes are not glossed over. Sensitive readers please abstain.**
Staying In is the third offering in the ongoing story of Skylar and her two men, Aluino and Hansel. The first two books electrified me—in a very good way—and you should read them first before reading Staying In. This author was able to write and release the three units quickly. I was very happy about that because, otherwise, I’d have been squirming and fretting, and possibly stalking the author for each new release! Each of the three books is relatively short in length. Together they would, more-or-less, equal a normal length novel.
The things I loved about Staying In, and about all three of the books, is that I came to really care about these characters. Skylar is a sweet and smart young woman who reveals an inner courage beyond her years. With honest self-insight, she explores who she is and what she wants in her life, especially in her love life. She is absolutely authentic and true to herself in her kinkier needs. But she also carries enough maturity and pragmatism to know she needs to protect herself and keep her friends safe on this journey. From the beginning of this series, Hansel and Aluino appear as very experienced kinksters, expert players in the BDSM scene. That’s what they expected to be doing with Skylar: playing a scene. They always share their women with each other (and they definitely know what to do with a woman!). But somewhere along the way with Skylar, the path turned. Both men find themselves completely smitten with her, and that is where the game changed.
Skylar, their “little bird,” managed to evade the two men for six months, which added to the men’s sense of urgency as they planned their next encounter with her in Breaking In. Staying In chronicles the aftermath of that encounter and gives a glimpse of the Triad’s future. Things start to get complicated for the two men when their plan for her threatens to hurtle out of control as it plays out, and Skylar’s friends are forced to intervene. Will this affect their future? The storyline is fast-paced, filled with all the breathtaking ways the men and Skylar sate their desires. This story captivated me from beginning to end.
And speaking of the end, IS this the end of the story? It appears it is, but I don’t want it to end. Dammit—I mean it! I highly recommend this for readers who want a very steamy, highly erotic ménage story with a beautiful HEA. I volunteered to honestly review an ARC of this book. I give it 5 stars.
This was the last book in the hot and sexy read. Wren was a wonderful leading lady and here men. Aluino and Hansel, were wonderful. Their mastering of her mind and body was just so darn sexy. I get flushed just thinking about the beautiful role playing between the three characters. I do recommend reading the books in order. If you are into threesomes and role playing with an excellent storyline this book should be your next read. I enjoyed every discover, sex and journey they were on reaching the HEA! Happy reading!
Although BDSM usually isn’t my go to read, this story is so much more!
I’m seriously liking this new authors work. These books are short but so worth the read! Skylar and her guys finally get their happy ending!
Of course before that happens the guys screw up and have to figure out how to fix things with Skylar!
I really like reading Skylar’s story. And I like how it is a “why choose?” book. Skylar’s men are pretty yummy!
Wow! Great way to tie up this series. I loved the characters, I want those boys for myself!! I would definitely recommend this series!!
Skylar awakes still bound and gagged. Hansel kind of messes up and Aluino is not happy. Skylar needs to get her bearings so she uses her safe word. Her friends take over but Aluino and Hansel then take over her aftercare. Trying their best to ease and sooth her. Hansel still apologizing. Skylar is very emotional. She is falling fast for these two guys. They want her forever. She has pretty much forgiven them for earlier but still she worries for her friends. Will Hansel an Aluino convince her to let them stay in her life? Will they get the HEA they all want? Great ending!
Heartwarming Conclusion!
I absolutely loved this fantastic and heartwarming conclusion to this super sexy and highly erotic series. Finally Skyler gets everything she wants and the very sexy alpha men to go along with it. Who wouldn’t want their own Aluino and Hansel and the fierce way that they show their love. The story is once again amazingly written and totally perfect. The chemistry between Skylar, Aluino and Hansel is mind-blowing and highly combustible. The sex they have is off the charts intense and panty-melting. All around this series is the perfect package of eroticism.
A fantastic and thrilling series from start to finish that you don’t want to miss out on. Highly recommend.
I don’t usually read books like this series, but I was invested after the first one and had to keep going. I didn’t know how the author could possibly bring these people together in a sustainable relationship. I almost decided to stop after the second book because this series just brought out too many emotions, but I’m so glad I went ahead and read this one. It’s much lighter than the previous two, and I feel better about the series as a whole now that I’ve finished it.
Okay, so as you know I was a huge fan of VT Bonds’ first two books in this series and when it came to this, the third one, it was no exception.
In fact, I think this one was probably my favourite out of the three.
This one was a little different for me.
It was more intense somehow with so many emotions running high and with people still trying to figure each other out.
In this one, we get to see more of Skylar’s and her two studs’ inner turmoil. We get to jump into the nitty-gritty of the situation and really see what’s going on behind the sex.
It’s way more in-depth to the feelings each of them has, and with a tense moment or two where you don’t know what way it’s going to go.
SKYLAR
We pick up with Skylar exactly where we left her, in the bed coming down from a scene with Hansel and Aluino.
Waking up, it all comes crashing back what happened last night and she is not too impressed with these two for the stunt they pulled.
Neither would I be if my men scared the utter shit out of me and my friends in order to play.
She’s still extremely worried about her friends’ reactions (and quite rightly so) and she’s trying to piece together how she feels about the whole thing…and then something else goes very wrong.
HANSEL & ALUINO
I’m not gonny lie. These two sexy arseholes would have gotten quite the beatin’ from me for pulling the stunt they did in book two. I’m not sure exactly how I would have felt (other than livid). Probably a lot like Skylar, extremely confused at the multitude of different sensations and fears as well as the physical pleasure and emotional high.
Although everyone wakes up together and seem to be okay…well let’s just say the boys fuck up. Again.
The two of them.
Worse than before.
They have some explaining and apologising to do. And everyone gets a wee scare.
SEX SCENES
Ooft! Check this out! *turns the fan on to cool off*
I thrust as deep as I can go, the movement short since I’m already embedded so far within her. Her breath puffs past my ear, her fingers digging into my shoulder, and I revel in how splendid she is between us. Aluino’s voice is low and uneven, revealing how excited he is, “You are fucking perfection. The way you took Hansel was so damn sexy. You’re so goddamn strong. I’m going to slide so deep into your tight little pussy that you’ll never stop feeling me there. You know how hard Hansel just fucked you? I will be worse. I will pummel you until you can’t walk. I will ruin you. We will ruin you,” His words stir my possessive side. I open my mouth and fill it with the sensitive flesh where her shoulder and neck meet and tighten my teeth together. Not enough to break skin, but she’ll have a bruise. I surge forward again, bottoming out, drowning in her. Her lusty moan and sharp nails perfect the moment. Before I go too far, I open my mouth and release her from my teeth. I lick and kiss the spot, enjoying the shivers she gives me.
FINAL THOUGHTS on STAYING IN by VT Bonds
This one was better for me because it dealt with the emotional aftermath of such a huge situation. It dealt with insecurities and strong emotions as well as reactions.
We got right into the minds of the two men as well as Skylar and we get a glance into what quite possibly does go on during a scene when things go a little wrong and when people are still trying to figure out each other’s limits etc.
I really enjoyed the whole series and am looking forward to seeing what else Ms Bonds comes up with.
5 Stars
this was such a good book. i believe this closes out this story but if we are lucky maybe in the future we will get snippets of what their future looks like…this was a truly hot threesome and i would love to read more about them in the future.
the closing book was everything i could have asked for in a book. Skylar gave her men hell for what they had done and scared the heck out of them. when she realized her friends didn’t think any differently about her after what had happened she was free to go and find her HEA.
This was a fantastic conclusion to Skylars’s Story! I absolutely want my own Aluino and Hansel, I loved their characters and you will fall in love with Aluino, Hansel, and Skylar. The story is amazingly written and the flow and pace of the story is perfect. The connection, chemistry, and the love between Aluino, Hansel, and Skylar is beautiful. I loved every single page of this book and it definitely didn’t disappoint. A terrific book from start to finish and I definitely recommend it. I recommend the complete trilogy they are must have for anyone’s book shelves!
