Nicole's Book Musings
This book is hot, hot, hot!! Though this book brings the heat it also brings the feels. You can feel emotions pouring off these characters. You can also feel the deep connections between the three of them. This has mm scenes and mmm scenes. I recommend this book of you're a fan of that genre of romance because this book packs a punch. Kaden had his heart broke and has finally found a man to move on with, but what happens when the one who broke him returns? I thought the last chapter had the perfect touch to end this book on because it sums up Kaden, Rogan, and Cortez.

**4 ‘Always Were’ Stars** I think saying that Middleman will incinerate your panties is not only an understatement, but an unnecessary one given THAT cover. But as with most things, one should never judge anything by its surface appearance, because while this book is smexy as all get. It is also filled with a lot of heart as these three men work through their own demons while fighting for what could be their ultimate happily ever after. I really liked Kaden, Cortez and Rogan, but I have to admit that Rogan was my favorite of the three. He reminded me of a Chimera ~ what you saw on the outside hid the truth of who he was on the inside and yet the two sides blended so well together. His complex nature was a huge draw and I was simply charmed by him and his strength. Cortez was all kinds of alpha male goodness and had me wanting to bend to his will, but it was his heart and his acknowledgement of what it wanted, even if he couldn’t have it, that won me over. Kaden, of the three, was the one that had me flip flopping the most. I loved the man he evolved into throughout the book, but his hang up over Cortez and how he used it to isolate himself rubbed me the wrong way, even though I understood where he was coming from. The journey that Kaden, Rogan and Cortez travel to get to their HEA’s was an interesting, yet enjoyable one. What I found most interesting, and intriguing, was how often all three of them were together throughout the story regardless of what was going on. Each of them are dealing with their own issues and I loved how they ended up helping each other work through them and heal so they could move forward. While I haven’t read all of Jayne Rylon’s books, I have read a decent cross section, but Middleman is only my second menage read by her and I thoroughly enjoyed it. While there were some parts that dragged for me, which I will say is more of a ‘it’s not you, it’s me’ situation, I was totally invested in getting to know Rogan, Kaden and Cortez and seeing how their HEA came to be. The various twists and turns were done well and I liked how they all ended up working out in the end. ~ Copy provided by the author ~

OMG! I've never been one to enjoy MMM, but this was an amazing novel. It was a perfect love trio with all the issues that come with any relationship. Leaning on the other and admitting to your needs will never lead you wrong. I will be reading this again. Jayne...you haven't written anything I don't like yet, even out of my normal reading preference!
