Book 7, Masters of Ménage, Their Virgin Mistress

This one is my least favorite of the series. Tori just really got on my nerves and I feel that the brothers deserved better actually. She never took any kind of initiative until the end. She always waited until someone else urged her to action. Even after Oliver overcame his past to be a better man for her. I think she was a spineless wimp. Piper, however, reminded me exactly why I loved her so much.

In a bit of a change from tradition, the heroine of this story is not a strong woman who can take on purestdelightawardthe world. Instead, she’s a bit broken, fearing to give her heart to anyone, for fear they might be taken from her.

That fear is just one of the hurdles facing the Thurston-Hughes brothers, who each want Tori for their own. They must decide whether they can share her; they must overcome their own individual problems; and they have to keep her safe from a killer who is stalking her. Each of the men has his own quirks: Oliver’s ex-wife was unfaithful, aborted their children and ended by trying to kill him and he hasn’t recovered yet. Callum, the football (soccer) player is a playboy being stalked by an ex-lover who claims to be pregnant with his child. Rory is the glue that holds the family together-while he plays the field with every model and actress in town.

As the PR person for the brothers, Tori knows all their foibles; and loves them anyway. But she is far too scared to act on that fear and uses a fake engagement to keep the brothers at bay…until Callum decides he’s waited long enough and makes his move on her. This triggers a response in Oliver and leads to a painful episode between Tori and Oliver. What will it take for this unlikely foursome to form a real relationship?

I liked Tori; in spite of her fears, she was a kind person and when she did realize what she was doing, she took control beautifully. The three men are the kind anyone would want-once Oliver moves past his issues. Until then, he needs to be slapped upside the head-although Tori uses an umbrella to great effect. Callum is a Dom, and all about control in the bedroom, and Rory is learning from Callum.

As with the other Masters of Menage series, this book has it all-hot sex, yummy men, a complex, intriguing plot and a story line that draws in the reader and keeps them turning the pages. As always, Lexi Blake’s wacky humor adds to the story, while Shayla Black draws a picture of the men that leaves the reader wishing her own man was nearby. Books just don’t get any better than this.

As I sit down to write this review, even days after finishing Their Virgin Mistress, I am torn about what I feel about the book. Why am I torn you may ask? Well it is because I have loved this series since the first book and while I will admit I am a book or two behind this normally is a series that I just automatically know will be super sexy and one that I know I will enjoy. But this time I loved the suspense, I loved the sex scenes, I loved Oliver, Rory , and Callum, and I loved seeing characters from previous books pop up and play vital parts to the storyline. What I didn’t like was Tory. I am used to this series having strong female characters, ones that when they do submit to their Masters it means something more I guess because they aren’t looked at as weak, as Tory for me was extremely weak and massively immature throughout the entire book. I also felt that it was similar to the first book and not as original as I had hoped.

Now I will warn you to have a change of panties close by when you read this one because it has some panty wetting scenes that fans of this series have come to not just expect but love as well. Shayla Black and Lexi Blake are two of my must read authors because they know how to write kick @$$ stories with some extremely hot sex scenes and my opinion of them hasn’t changed. Will I continue on and not just read the books I missed but future ones as well? You are $#@! right I will because even though this particular one wasn’t my favorite I know these two authors will pull me back into the world they are creating and having me wish I was a part of it.

Review for Their Virgin Mistress by Shayla Black & Lexi Blake

The Virgin Mistress is part of the Masters of Menagé series by Shayla Black and Lexi Blake. Warning: This book has three sexy men worshiping one woman in and out of bed.

I’ve been a huge fan of this series from the start and this book is no exception. I love how even though these books are obviously erotic in nature they still have a strong storyline. The character development is spot on and of course the smutty parts are panty melting. I’m going to glaze right over the story itself because there are many parts that I feel should be experienced without outside influence. I will say that it’s a roller coaster of emotions and crazy plot twists that make this book a must read!

Callum, Oliver, and Rory are British, wealthy, and devastatingly sexy brothers. It takes real talent to write a book that has multiple male voices and not have them slip into sounding similar, but Black and Blake never had an issue with that in this book. Each of the brothers has a unique voice that are easily discernible.

I’m loathe to choose a favorite of the three, but I would have to say it is Callum. He is the epitome of what I look for in book boyfriends… funny, sweet, and alpha with a dash of bad boy. I love how he takes charge even though you wouldn’t expect him to be the one to do so.

I adore Tori, she is everything a slightly damaged heroine should be. She’s not overly whiny and doesn’t play the poor pitiful me card. She does what she feels is necessary to protect herself and the brothers, even if it isn’t what she wants. There are moments throughout the book that I wanted to give her a firm shake, but overall she was very relatable and a well-developed character.

It goes without saying that the chemistry between characters is off the charts. Black and Blake never disappoint in the erotica side of their stories. They get that you need to seduce the reader and build up the desire to see the characters lose themselves in each other. It is especially important when you are trying to create a believable menagé relationship verses just a sexual encounter. Each erotic scene flows perfectly into the storyline so that you never feel like there is smut just for smuts sake. Erotica is so much more than adding multiple sex scenes, the storyline has to be solid, and this book is a perfect example of how much depth there can be.

Their Virgin Mistress is definitely one of my favorite in the Masters of Menagé series, five sexy stars!

Review by Miranda at Mommy’s a Book Whore
ARC provided by honest review.
Review originally featured on Romance@Random.

Shayla Black and Lexi Blake’s Masters of Ménage series provides readers with a plethora of hot, domineering males and the feisty women they willingly share because their goal is to provide their woman with an overwhelming amount of love, sex, and passion – all of which will leave her wanting nothing but them for the rest of her life. Their Virgin Mistress is book 7 in the series, and it centers around three brothers who, at first, don’t seem to be on the same page when it comes to the one woman they all desire – their publicist, Tori Glen. Like the previous texts in the series, Their Virgin Mistress offers readers a world full of seduction, intrigue, and drama, but the heart of the story is the quest of three men to prove to the woman that they love that they’re worth the risk regardless of doubts, fears, and public perception.

What woman could resist three brothers – all of whom bring such varying personalities to the relationship? Oliver, Rory, and Callum Thurston-Hughes are all alpha males who know their way around the female body and the words to use to make it malleable. Because Black and Blake vary the perspectives as their story is told, readers understand who these men are at their core and what they’re willing to give up and the effort they’re willing to put in to claim the woman who owns all three of them.

Oliver is the protector, but he’s tortured by his past and what he allowed a woman to do to him; Rory is the responsible one who sees his oldest brother struggling and wants to help him heal, and Callum is the dominant one who has been a manwhore for far too long and finds his ways changing for the right woman – Tori. Each of them separately is not enough to handle Tori’s tenacity, but together, they have the assets needed to dominant her inside the bedroom and “handle” her out of it.

But the Thurston-Hughes’ brothers have their work cut out for them with Tori and they seem to know going in that in order to tear down Tori’s walls, they’re going to need to “brand her with pleasure and chain her with affection.”

Loss is a concept Tori knows a lot about, and she’s erected walls to stay safe from feeling that domineering emotion. She prevents herself from truly loving anyone because if she gets too close…feels too much, she’ll never recover once they leave. Despite her best intentions to keep a safe distance from Oliver, Rory, and Callum, each of them owns her heart and not even a fake fiancé can prevent her desiring what she knows she can never have, which is all three of them. Tori is the ideal woman for each one of them, though…she’s beautiful, stubborn, intelligent, and knows how to take charge, and they’ll do anything to show her exactly how good they can all be together.

Their Virgin Mistress, for a lot of the text, is a tenuous journey for Tori and the Thurston-Hughes’ brothers because there are complicated internal/external circumstances forcing them to keep one another at a distance. Tori’s sister wants her to choose love over fear, but it’s not an easy choice to make given how much in her own head Tori is. But the brothers didn’t achieve their success in business without a lot of hard work, so they’re ready to do whatever they must to claim their bride – even if it means fighting dirty, which is exactly where their journey turns sensual, sexy, and downright climatic!

4.5 poison apples

MY THOUGHTS--- 5 OUT 5 I soooo want a Shayla Black & Lexi Blake menage story of my own STARS

I LURVED (yes, lurved) this new addition to the Masters of Menage series!!!! I have read a few of the previous books and lurved them just as much. Each one has it's own feeling attached to it and they are always, always so good. Shayla Black and Lexi Blake never, ever disappoint when it comes to any of their stories.

This particular story had the three Thurston-Hughes brothers. Brit boys at that----Whooooeeee!! (Love me some Brits.) Anyway, the men are all damaged in some way and need that one missing piece that makes them whole. Tori is a public relations specialist that the Thurston-Hughes brothers hired to assist with some of their less than stellar history.

Each of the brothers brings their own flavor to the mix. Oliver is the dark, and damaged brother who believes he may never find love again. Rory has always stepped up to be the responsible one when ever anyone needed it. And Callum, the once bad boy of football (aka soccer) now turned playboy due to an injury, is plain trouble; in every sense of the word. The brothers are lost without even realizing that they are all searching for the one reason that they need to live. Once they all meet Tori they realize, individually at first, that they connect with her- on several different levels, not just physical attraction.

Of course it takes some tragic events and some serious kicks to the arse in order to get the brothers on a united front for their quest to win over Tori and try to convince her that their unorthodox relationship can work. Tori, on the other hand, puts up roadblocks at every turn. Tori has her own reasons and her own history to overcome and refuses to let the Thurston-Hughes brothers assist with her battle.

I honestly can saw that I've read quite a few books that center around a menage type relationship. Whether there is a group of friends or brothers that are looking to share a wife and the woman in question is super resistant or whatever---- it has always been a secret fantasy of mine. Hehehe. I honestly don't know if I would ever go through with it but what sane woman wouldn't want to try, right?? I know that it would be hard as evidenced by Tori's struggle with facing regular society and their closed minded opinions. I could definitely relate to the apprehension she felt towards even thinking about beginning a relationship like that.

I love how the authors integrated some of their previous stories into this new book but told enough of the background to where you weren't like 'Huh? What was that all about?' And each story has it's own drama and its own angst that keep you on the edge for the entire read. And the super hot sex scenes are just an added bonus!!

Take a chance into the unorthodox world of menage and read Their Virgin Mistress!!

Happy Reading!!

Another winner for Shayla Black and Lexi Blake. In prior books in the Masters of Menage series we met Oliver Thurton-Hughes and Melinda Torrance "Tori" Glen. But Their Virgin Mistress is their story along with the story of Oliver's two brothers, Callum and Rory. The three brothers are rich and sexy and dominant. Tori feels out of her league with them. She wants them all and can't decide which brother she likes the most. So she decides the best decision is to stay away from all of them. She fakes an engagement to discourage them from hitting on her. Thankfully for all - it doesn't work.

The brothers are typical brothers - they fight and argue, and don't want to share. But they soon discover that they all want Tori. The only way they can all win is to share her love.

Since Tori's sister is in a menage relationship, Tori understands and approves of the concept, but the Thurston-Hughes brothers are from England, not Bezakistan. Tori is shy and doesn't want to make headlines. She works as a publicist and knows all about scandals. She tries to avoid them at all costs. She is also very wary of falling in love. She lost her parents at a young age and is afraid to get to close to people. She doesn't want to lose anyone again.

Oliver is the oldest brother. He's been married before and it turned out badly. He's very untrusting and is afraid to be in another relationship. He starts off as a bit of an ass. I wasn't sure he'd be able to win me over, but by the end he is probably the sweetest of the three. .

Rory is the youngest brother. He has been a bit of a playboy, but he's also always been the easiest to get along with. Once he knows what he wants (and he wants Tori) he pulls out all stops. He definitely knows how to take control and it is very sexy. He knows how to be in charge.

I've saved my favorite for last. Callum was a professional football player (soccer for us here in the US). He seems easy-going and laid back, but when he is in the bedroom, he is all Dom. He is a complete alpha male and so hard to resist. I absolutely fell in love with Callum.

When the three brothers decide to work together to pursue Tori she stands no chance. They all turn dominant on her and they control her. It is hot and steamy. Two brothers have scenes alone with Tori (I won't reveal who) and they are really sexy, but when the three dominate her together and take charge make sure you have a fan nearby.

While some aspects of this book are similar to others in the series (obviously they're all menage stories), these characters can definitely hold their own and it is not the same old story.

Overall a great story by two great writers. I give Their Virgin Mistress FOUR STARS!

This book was amazing. I couldnt put it down.
The plot the story line all of it was amazing. How these ladies unfolded each character was amazing. Enveloping their shared pasts in the story just made it that much more gripping a story.
This story had me hooked from the second I read about the three brothers, such complete opposites of eachother. The perfect trio for any girl to find. I would have never thought of a romantic notion with three brothers involved. The thought is crazy but it works. And flows so easily with these two amazing writers.
I completely identified with Tori's character, Her fears and worries and trying to keep control of her life when nothing was really in control. That is me. Now of the three guy i fell completely head over heels for Oliver hes the vulnerable brother the one that needs her love. And oh my lord how he is described is gorgous and sexy as hell.
Amazing work.
5 Stars all the way!!!

Shayla Black and Lexi Blake are back with another lip-bitingly sensual and suspenseful romance. This dynamic duo is always kicking ass and taking names, making me swoon over and over again. With a sassy heroine that will make you stand up and cheer, to the three gorgeous, British men that will steal your heart, THEIR VIRGIN MISTRESS was a perfect addition to one of my all time favorite series. Each book in the series is just as good as the last, if not, even better. Ms. Black and Ms. Blake brings us back into a world of seduction, domination, and surrender, leaving their readers in a blissful, erotic state of mind.

Tori Glen is the younger sister of Piper, now Piper al Mussad from Their Virgin Concubine. Tori is just as strong-willed and independent as her sister. She made for a fabulous heroine in this book and as the woman who would eventually bring the Thurston-Hughes brothers to their gorgeous, successful knees. Coming from a small town in Texas, she has worked her way at becoming a successful woman. She craves the three brothers like nothing else, but she remains professional, even though her dirty thoughts about the brothers are far from it. As part of the al Mussad family, she knows what it’s like to be around overprotective alpha males, but she had no idea what the Thurston-Hughes brothers had in store for her.

Callum, Rory, and Oliver, the three brothers who could have anything or anyone they wanted. Gorgeous, successful, and protective of what is theirs, they will stop at nothing until they have their spitfire PR woman in their arms and forever in their bed. Two out of the three brothers are on board with the plan of keeping Tori forever, but Oliver is still dealing with the demons of his past. Tori wants to be the woman who brings light back into Oliver’s life, but his trust was shattered along with his heart, and he doesn’t know if anyone can make him whole again.

Desire, temptation, and surrender is the name of the game in THEIR VIRGIN MISTRESS. These brothers need a woman who will take care of them, and Tori wants to be that woman, but she doesn’t want to be the woman who tears their family apart. Time will tell if these three brothers are able to share the love of their lives. Will Tori be the one to bring them together and make them whole, or will she be the temptation that will ultimately tear them apart?

There was so much going on in this story and I so enjoyed soaking it all in. My heart broke for Oliver, my mind thirsted for Rory, and my body tingled for Callum. They just might be my favorite trio of heroes from this series yet. I loved that the role of the Dom was played by someone I didn’t expect. These ladies always keep me on my toes with the sensual, passionate, and intense scenes, as well as the gripping suspenseful scenes. A highly erotic page-turner, THEIR VIRGIN MISTRESS just might be my favorite of the series to date. With the way they are moving, these stories just keep getting better, and the authors consistently blow my expectations out of the water. I will never get enough of this series.

*Gifted copy provided by the authors in exchange for an honest review*

I have read all the books in this series thus far and couldn't wait to read Their Virgin Mistress. The series has overlapping characters and this book is Tori (Piper al Mussad's sister and sister in law the Sheikh of Bekakistan and his brothers) and her relations with the Thurston-Hughes brothers Rory, Callum and Oliver who we met in earlier books when he was nearly killed by his crazy ex-wife.

Tori has been hired by the Thurston-Hughes brothers as the PR rep. They all have scandal of some sort or another surrounding them from attempted murder by loonies ex-wife, endless strings of supermodels to a pregnancy scandal. Tori definitely has her hands full with these three men. Oliver runs their empire and has sworn off women after the ex-wife incident, but watches Tori carefully and protects her from a distance. Rory has been self sacrficing and hasn't pursued Tori in hopes Oliver will wake up and come back to his old self. Callum is the bold one of the crew and is motivated to move forward in making his move if his brothers won't, with or without them. Tori has feelings for all three in their own ways but keeps everyone not just the Thurston Hughes brothers at a distance. Her past and heartbreaks taint her interpersonal relationships. Piper loves her sister and is in a very loving Menage relationship with her husbands. But London is not Bakakistan, they must tread carefully and will their desire be enough for a relationship to water the storm?

Every book in this series just keeps getting better and better as the characters and their relationships continue to evolve. Even the character building of the secondary characters and former leads continues as the series goes forward. Can't wait for the next book!

O-M-G!!! This foursome is severely hot and heavy!

I love reading these seriously hot and sexy menage books! They're so fun addicting and this series is one of the best! (I still have a hard time when it's brothers that share a wife, rather than just friends...but it's still freaking HOT).

Shayla Black and Lexi Blake did it again! They put the "O" in Oooooohhhdaaaamn!

Tori, Oliver, Rory, and Callum....such a cute little four-some couple. Each man is so different and Tori is just what each of them need.

Great read!

I love Shayla & Lexi. Every time I see something by them I grab it up. When these two get together and write they make magic.

The writing style is very descriptive and vivid. I can see exactly what’s happening on every page. I love that even though it’s erotica it has characters with some depth. Each person feels as if you could bump into them on any street.

I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review.

Tori is one kick-ass lady & one lucky chick to be surrounded by the three sexy as sin Thurston-Hughes brothers: Callum, Rory & Oliver *swoon... Triple swoon! She works for them & has feelings for them too. However, she's determined not to cross the line between business & pleasure.

A must-read!!! You will fall in love with the Thurston-Hughes Brothers!! Such a sexy, hot, & mouth-watering read!

This series needs to finish, about three books ago. This was not a good addition, I could not bring myself to really care for the heroine, her issues seemed contrived, as if the authors did not really know what to do with the storyline. I recently read a great SB book, which tells me that she still can write well.

Shayla and Lexi have done it again! Their Virgin Mistress is a gorgeous extension of The Masters of Ménage series that will have you begging for more. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next!

While the writing is excellent, the plot is revolting - a gang of men degrading a woman without a thought to her feelings,safety or dignity.

Meanwhile the wimpy woman is portrayed as enjoying sexual and physical abuse. Stories about men exploiting women are NOT romantic or erotic.

Tori is a PR who is working for a company run by three brothers in England. She is attracted to all three of them and can not pick one over the other. Unbeknownst to the brothers she is still a virgin. She also can not seem to allow herself to love anyone because she is afraid of losing anyone else after her parents death when she was young. How will they all solve the hurtles they all have to over come in order to be happy? This book is very erotic and sensual, with a touch of danger and fun. Loved it!!

This was a great book to read, loved the characters and am so glad they all got together and that Thea the bad girl is no more. This is sooo steamy you'll need to cool off when done reading it. I hope we see Claire again with her own men soon
