The Bold and the Dominant (Doms of Her Life Book 3)

Honestly, who doesn't love a good menage? Throw in some hot, BDSM action, some mystery, and the requisite devious bitch trying to ruin everything and you've got yourself a book. I loved this one, especially the humiliating ways the Doms made said conniving bitch pay. Lost a star for me because of the Dom whining. I hate whining in general but when insecurities and whining come from a Dom, I can't reconcile that in my head... bothers me every time.

This is the best series bar none. I am totally addicted to the character s. Once Hammer gets his jealousy under control; and Liam gets rid of his feelings of inadequacy. The trio comes together to form a loving realionship.

Having been abused by an ex, I feel Raines darkness. But now, I hope she will see the light at the end of the tunnel with I hope is a new addition to her little family! Great reading as always Shayla.

To be honest I loved the book but seriously another cliffhanger. They say "coming soon", do they mean like the year and four months that it took for the last installment. I'm hoping not. Losing faith in these authors. Put us out of our misery already! 4 stars for the writing alone.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

WHAT HAS REALLY WORKING FOR ME

I like the cover. I don’t love it, because I don’t really think it matches them. Sure the woman has the same features of Raine, but their clothes doesn’t feel like them. I can see it would be a ménage, or a love triangle and that would be BDSM involved.
The book had a good pace, it kept me guessing and I’ve ended wanting more. There were no typo mistakes that I remember, it was cohesive.
It was panty-wetter, cold-shower hot! Jumping my husband kind of scenes. Great descriptions, creativity, it felt real and I did feel the chemistry between characters.
It was hard to put down, a pretty addictive read.
I’m really looking forward to book number two.
This is BDSM soap opera material, which kept it all interesting.
Wow, that cliffhanger was a punch, as I knew it would be. ? I’ve enjoyed how the plot thicken.
I’m dying to read book four! I’m really wanting to know how the soap opera will end.

WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER

Raine still frustrates me sometimes, even though the abuse theme does explain a lot.
Hammer is the big Dom, but he is too set on his ways to be a great Dom. He misses a lot by not seeing the whole picture.
*****SPOILER ALERT*****
What sort of D/s relationship exists without complete honest? Hammer holds the truth from his sub several times.
*****SPOILER END******

Liam drove me crazy in book 2, but he is still my favorite of the trio. His jealousy is obnoxious, but he is a better Dom than Hammer.

The sexy, suspenseful, and erotically charged drama continues in the next installment of The Doms Of Her Life series. Raine, Liam, and Macen are no strangers to trouble getting in the way of their relationship, and what Liam has waiting for him at Shadows is a disaster waiting to happen. My favorite menage can't seem to catch a break, and in THE BOLD AND THE DOMINANT, the obstacles they face will test their relationship and bring back old demons that were supposed to be laid to rest.

In the midst of all the chaos, they continue to face concerns about their threesome. Jealousy rears its ugly head more than a few times. The insecurities are still there for Raine and just when you think she is moving forward, something is said, something happens that has her taking a few steps back. Liam's patience is running out, and Macen's frustrations are showing. So as you can see, they have a LONG way to go.
These two men want more than her heart, mind, and body. They wanted to own her soul.

My emotions ran wild while reading this gem of a book! I felt frustration. I felt anger. I felt love. And I felt compassion and tenderness. You can feel the amount of love that Liam and Macen have for Raine, and in this book, the love that they have for each other, as brothers, not in blood, but in all ways that matter come shining through as well. No matter what struggles, what obstacles they face, they do end up finding their way back. And with every problem faced, their love, their devotion, and their commitment grow stronger.

These three authors continue to blow me away with what they bring to these characters and the storyline. They bring out a reader's emotions so gently, so vividly, you feel like you are on the same level as one of their characters. You feel emotionally tied to Raine and her insecurities. You want what is best for her, and you want to gather her up, hug her, and tell her it will all be okay. You feel Liam's jealousy and resentment with the fact that Macen got to Raine's heart first. You feel pride for Macen for putting up with Liam's resentment, and sometimes staying strong for all three of them.

Shayla Black, Jenna Jacob, and Isabella LaPearl has masterfully captured the feelings, the romance, and the intense passion of this genre with this book. These three have developed the most frustrating, the most lovable, and the most sexy characters in any series I have ever read in this genre, and I couldn't be more in LOVE with this series. Well done ladies! Now...let's ease up on the cliffhangers shall we?

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

Picking up right after the last book the initial reaction to the call Liam receives leaves him wondering if his world will be forever changed. It also leaves him and Hammer wondering what they will tell Raine, if they tell her at all.

Raine knows that they are keeping something from her and despite all the work they have done to convince her that they are both committed to her she questions if there is a future and if they can all move forward. She has made it clear it was all or nothing. She believed things had been settled but knowing that they are keeping a secret has her once again struggling with her self esteem.

When Raine discovers that the situation they are keeping has to do with Liam's ex-wife she suddenly has to face the possibility that everything he said to her was a lie and that he no longer wants to be with her. But there is more to the story and when she learns what that is she has to come to terms that things will never be the same. Liam and Hammer are once again faced with helping Raine face her fears and not close up. Can they fix her self doubt?

After Liam discovers the truth and then learns that Hammer alone gave Raine what she needed he is faced with the possibility that she doesn't need him and that Hammer along can give Raine everything she wants and needs. He once again feels that he doesn't belong and that she can be happy with just Hammer, or can Raine convince him that not only does she need both of them to complete her.

When Raine's life is put in danger by a mad man will she find the strength to save herself. Will it be too late for Hammer and Liam to find and save her. Everything is tested while they rust to find her. They know that they need her and she needs them, they only hope to find her before it's too late.

Raine has matured more in this book compared to how she was in the first but I found there were times when she is tested and her self esteem once again fails and she doubts everything and closes up to both men. She worries that what she wants and needs won't happen and that at any moment it will all come crashing down around her. Liam and Hammer continue to do the best they can to ease her doubt but with so many things threatening their happiness it's not an easy task for them.

I'm looking forward to the conclusion of their story in the next, and final book of the series to see how or if the three of them can find their happy ending. And with yet another cliff hanger I'm anxious to see if that will change everything.

Have you read One Dom to Love? Have you read The Young and the Submissive? If you haven't that is the first book and second book in this series, can you please just trust me when I say that this series should be read in order. So if you haven't read those please don't read this entire review. Just take my humble advice from a huge romance novel fan and purchase your copy of One Dom to Love and the Young and the Submissive, and jump on this roller coaster of crazy love, jealousy, and a hopefully forever kinda love. You won't regret it.

The trio of authors keeps us on our toes in this one...even more so than the first two. After a fantastic night for Hammer, Raine, & Liam things start off with bang as Liam's cheating ex-wife calls with the news she is at Shadows (Hammer's Club) and needs to speak with him in person. Much of this book shows us all three of our main characters fighting themselves and their wants as well as to some degree each other to make a go of a long term M/F/M relationship, but as the trio makes it through one hurtle after another and seemingly hitting a point of peace and calmness, in the storm that is Raine, Hammer, and Liam, a more dangerous and deranged one picks up and takes off.

I love the writing and how the authors keep us moving through the story even in areas that the plot line is seemingly focused on two characters for a bit moves us toward the larger plot line of Raine, Hammer, and Liam. I am gonna say this one is a bit more violent - for good reason - than the last two books, but you can push through. The ups and downs were rough for me cause I am a Happily Ever After kinda woman, but the last 10% of the book had me at the egde of my seat and pulled at all my emotions. Oh and this trio of authors knows just how to end the book leaving us wanting more for sure. This cliff hanger had me like, "Say what!"

Once again I say to you if you love romance, steamy love scenes, struggle, suspense, and some kink then this is your series. With the Kindle version selling at 4.99 per book it is a deal, and with the 1st book free...yep you read that right FREE you got nothing to lose by giving this series a try. I loved this series that first time I read them, and I love it just as much the 3rd time around.

Edge of Dominance is out soon get reading and catch up before the release of the final novel on the 13th of September.

The Bold and the Dominant is book 3 in the Doms of Her Life series and if you haven't read books 1 and 2...go read them and then read this one!!

After reading books 1 and 2 and being so frustrated with Liam and Hammer, I thought okay book 3 is going to not frustrate me because Liam and Hammer finally have their act together with Raine. HA..what a joke!

Hammer and Liam have finally seen the light and realize that Raine's needs are more important than their bickering/jealousy. She needs BOTH men in her life and they will now make it their life to take care of her. They spent an amazing night together, all three of them and they finally convinced Raine how important she is to them and how much she is loved. However, in the middle of the night Hammer gets a phone call that Liam's ex is at the club causing havoc and they must return immediately to fix/get rid of her! But, they had such an amazing night if one of them leaves her, she'll be crushed thinking that everything they shared was a lie. Since, Beck has to leave to perform surgery they decide it would be best if they all leave and try and shelter Raine from what's going on at the club.

So we have Liam's ex causing a storm as well as Raine's father wanting money again after Hammer cut him off! These guys cannot catch a break!! How will Raine handle it when she finds out about Liam's ex wife and her cargo? Is Hammer going to have to kill Raine's father to shut him up...permanently? Liam and Hammer did say that they wanted communication and honesty in their relationship, but will they abide by the same? All good questions that you'll have to read this amazing book to find out answers!

LOVED this book (the whole series)! I feel so bad for all of them trying so hard to have a three-way relationship and there are so many obstacles preventing it. Raine and her insecurities is heart breaking. Just when she has her confidence up, something comes along and she talks herself into thinking the worst. This book, as are the other two, are SO frustrating!! Gwyneth is just evil!! I absolutely LOVED Beck and Seth!! Such a great series! Can't wait to read MORE...SOON!!

Liam, Hammer and Raine have finally completed their menage, which seems all to the good, except that Liam's ex-wife, Gwyneth, has come to LA in search of Liam--with a bombshell baby she claims is his. Knowing he can't trust her, he stows her away in safer quarters until he can verify the child's paternity. He doesn't want to freak Raine out, so Liam and Macen decide to keep Gwyneth and the potnetioan Liam Jr a secret.

This builds real problems, because Raine is a very perceptive gal. Why is her new Dom gone so much, and why is he so snappish? She's just spending time with Macen because he's supposed to be there for her... Doesn't Liam know she loves him too?

While they are struggling with the dynamics of the menage, Raine's abusive father gets back in the mix. He wants more money from Macen to keep his mouth shut--over a trumped up years-old indecency charge. Though Macen refuses to pay, Gwyneth isn't above a bit of scheming to make sure Raine isn't around for Liam to love. Just when it seemed Raine, Macen and Liam got everything back in stride...the absolute worst happens, and it's a countdown to save Raine from what looks to be certain death.

This one got dark, dark, dark. Readers should be advised of rape and domestic violence triggers. That said, it's definitely a happy ending for all the characters, they just had to survive the typhoon first. I really enjoyed how the menage got stronger here, and how Raine took some time to think when she got upset, instead of run, as she had been doing previously. It's a bit of a different sort of cliffhanger at the end of this one--bringing us back to a problem we'd thought solved two books ago, but that's cool. I'm excited to see where it all goes in the fourth book.

I’m not sure where to start with this review. First I want to gush about Seth and Becks and I feel that the book wouldn’t have been the same without these two. I absolutely love the bond they have formed with Raine and how open she is with both of them. I am praying that they get their own story. Now that I got that out of my system, I will proceed. Raine has made a lot of progress in this book and both Liam and Hammer created more insincerity for no reason. I was really annoyed with how they keep her in the dark and then surprise when it blows up in their face. They finally were able to come together fully by the end of the book. I will warn those that there are some sensitive topics address in this book and it ends on a cliff hanger. This book is full of twist and the sex between the three couldn’t get any hotter. I am counting down the days for book 4.

This story picks up where the Young and the Submissive left off, and shouldn't be read as a standalone. Hammer, Raine and Liam's new-found closeness is tested by people from the past.

There was a lot more action in this one as well as plot twists and turns as both Liam's ex and Raine's father are back in the picture and scheming to get what they want. I found it very frustrating that after forcing Raine through exercises on trust and communication in book 2, both Liam and Hammer show a decided lack of both here, yet chastise Raine for a lapse. I continued to like the secondary characters of a Beck and Seth; they added a lot to the story for me.

While Raine showed actual character growth, and Hammer actually showed signs of strength when dealing with Raine's father, I felt Liam backslid a little, though I did enjoy the scene where he plays mind games on the ex. 3.5 to 4 stars

I received a copy in return for a honest review.

Raine, Liam and Hammer are on their way to building a menage relationship. And then Liam's past rears an ugly head. Can this new trio withstand this blast from the past? I was leery at first. I mean Liam and Hammer spent much of the last book hammering honesty and communication into Raine but did they practice what they preached? I enjoyed seeing Hammer and Liam butt heads a bit about how much honesty is too much. I loved seeing that Raine had learned and with a reminder just what submission meant, at least to her men. Ms. Black, Ms. Jacobs and Ms. Lapearl allowed Raine to learn and grow even as she showed her men she could take and be whatever they needed. This story was at times a comedy of errors but underlying that was a show of growth and acceptance. I can't wait to see where these ladies will take us next!

Macen, Raine and Liam finally have what they always wanted but when Liam gets a call from his ex, their world will shatter. Gwyneth claims that she had Liam's baby but Liam isn't buying it and wants a paternity test. While Liam is dealing with Gwyneth, Raine is worried and Hammer knows exactly what to do to make her worries go away. Liam's jealously comes thru again and almost throws what they have away because he thinks Raine loves Hammer more. But Raine proves she is getting better at communicating and tells Liam she lives him the same. It isn't just the ex that they need to worry about its Raine's dad that wants what he deserves. When Gwyneth doesn't get what she wants she make a deal with the devil. Can Liam & Hammer save Raine? The ending damn I can't wait to read the next book. I can't get enough of Hammer, Raine and Liam

Raine is tiny, but strong. She has matured throughout the series yet haunted by the abuse done by her father. In this story she finds his crimes unimaginable but true. Hammer and Liam, best friends and both in love with Raine, grapple with plot twists that include not only Raine's father, but also Liam's ex-wife, Gwyneth. It all juxtaposes in a horrific way, albeit with a happy ending for the threesome that will have readers salivating for the next book in the series. This is a story about abuse, murder, blackmail and, more happily, menage, family-by-choice, and love. This threesome relationship has and will face challenges, but these are strong, committed characters that have you rooting for them.

Spoiler alert****

Holy mind blown here! I had some idea that this book would be focused on the drama of Liam's ex wife reentering the picture but boy did I not see that coming. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop with Raine's father but WOW. So again, I found myself wanting to give Liam and Hammer a smack upside the head for some of their actions but they led to the plot line of the story so I can't really fault that. If they hadn't had those moments the story wouldn't have been as good. I can't even begin to find the words to describe the ending. I saw some kind of altercation but I didn't see things ending the way they did. Poor Raine and how will this effect her willingness to trust and communicate moving forward. Lastly, how will the pregnancy affect this budding relationship? ARGH!! I need book 4!!!

This series just gets better and better the more you read. Every time you turn around there is another curveball coming. I just could not stop reading this third installment of this wonderful series!

The growth of the characters continues in this book. Hammer and Liam's love for Raine continues to grow, and Raine is gradually coming into her own as a strong woman with their help. Of course, like any good soap opera, there have to be setbacks that beset them. First Liam's ex-wife shows up to cause trouble for the trio, then Raine's abusive father threatens shows up again to ruin her new-found happiness. Gwyneth was an absolute bitch who was only out for herself, going so far as to use her own nephew to convince Liam they had a child together to get what she wanted and even paying Rayne's father to kidnap her to break them up. I wanted to slap her myself, and was extremely gratified when she was arrested at the end of the book. The ordeal Raine went through at the hands of her father was heart wrenching. The fact that he got his hands on her was bad enough, but to find out what happened to her mother and sister like that was horrible! The strength she managed to gain from her relationship with Hammer and Liam helped to pull her through, and her father got what was coming to him. Her reunion with her guys was heartbreakingly tender. Then the cliffhanger ending hit me upside the head! What a way to leave you hanging!

If you have not read the first two installments of this series I urge you to do so. Ms. Black and her co-writers are doing a marvelous job and I can't wait to see what happens to our friends in the final book of the series.

Wow let me catch my breath.....so glad that Hammer and Liam was able to break down Raine walls and them begin their life together. Oh but wait none other than Liam ex wife shows to tell lies and say Liam was a father, but Hammer, Liam, Beck and Seth worked together to uncovered the truth, so again the 3 had a amazing night together as Raine let down her guards and totally surrendered to them, so everything was great only for Raine father Bill to show up kidnap her, take her to a place to tell her the truth about her sister and mom and to finish what he started, Raine found inner strength to fight once again and Hammer & Liam showed up, she was taken to ER to get checked out only to be faced with something else....and the story ends....book 4 I am ready for you....if you have not read this series ask yourself why.....go one click..

The best so far! Excellent writing and storytelling. The story kept me engrossed from the first page. It is hot and sexy but so very emotional as well which is what made it so hot and sexy. I am not giving any spoilers for those who have not read it yet. I laughed, cried, was so pissed off, as well as numerous other emotions (at and with the characters) lol.

I am so happy to see Liam and Hammer getting their stuff together and Raine is coming into her own. Seth and Beck are amazing and I look forward to seeing them again in other books *hint hint*

I can't wait to see how everything works out in the final book "The Edge of Dominance"

Thanks you Shayla, Jenna and Isabella for another great read!

This may be the most choppy review I have ever written, but it sums up how I read this book:

Cringe cringe. Turn page. Turn page. Gasp. Turn page quicker. Sigh. Holy cow! Eyes pop wide open. Turn page, Turn page, go back read that page again, Holy cannoli!!!!

Needless to say I think this is the best of the series thus far. It kept me captivated and entranced to watch the developing relationships, both romantically and friendship. I can't wait for the series finale to be released!

Wow just wow. This third installment in The Doms of Her Life series just blew me away.

This book picks up where book 2, The Young & The Submissive leaves off, with Rayne, Liam, and Hammer having just committed to their new relationship together. Man oh man despite the newness of their relationship and the obstacles they've already overcome these three prove that the bond they share is impenetrable! The twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat while keeping your eyes glued to the pages!

I still find it hard to believe that this book series is a collaboration as the writing is flawless and everything meshes well. This series just gets better and better can't wait for the next one! An absolute must read series!!

I'm so warm right now after reading this book, I have to keep fanning myself. These authors know how to write a book full of eroticism!!! If you haven't read the first two books, stop reading this and go read them. Like right now.
Raine has finally given in and learned that these two men love her, but just like any good soap, happiness is never trouble free. Liam's ex comes back to try to get him back and while he's trying to deal with that, someone hovers in the background threatening everything Macen and Liam want to build with Raine. Everyone is still dealing with their insecurities, which gets repetitive, but the way they come out on the other side of them is sooooooooo worth it!!!!
I can't wait to see how this series ends in book 4!!!!

After almost a year and half Raine, Hammer ad Liam are back! The wait was over, thank god, or so I thought. Which after reading this book (something was off in this one) leaves me giving it a 3-3.5 star rating.

As expected we start off where we left off at the lodge. Hammer and Liam finally got their act together (or so we are lead to believe) and shared Raine when a phone call from Liam's ex causes a chain of events which threaten the fragile beginnings of his and Hammers new relationship with Raine.

If you are as invested in this series as I am you can't help but be somewhat disappointed with this book. We know and accept that our three main characters have issues from their individual pasts which not only haunt them they shape them into who they are at present. Having said that Raine is true to form. But our Doms are not "Bold" and at times their "Dominance" is questionable. Hammer and Liam basically whine their way through this book. This was so out of character I just couldn't figure out why they were so wishy washy. Where did our strong in control Doms go?

So annoying in fact that I actually skipped pages of excess whining on the part of Liam's Ex as well as repeatative inner dialogue musings of both Hamner and Liam. It was like re-reading the same thing over and over again. We get it! We heard you! So MAN UP and be the Doms we readers have been lead to believe you are.

Now faced with another book I have to agree put us out of our misery and fix the mess you made with this book. Hammer,Raine and Liam deserved so much better. Heres to hoping book four doesn't take as long to be released, that we all get some closure and the HEA these characters seem to be stuggling to achieve.

Then,and only then, can we move on to Seth, Beck and Nurse Heavenly???

The Bold and the Dominant continues the menage story of Raine, Liam and Macen. Liam and Macen finally is able to convince Raine that they can have the relationship that she wants. They thought that they could work on their relationship and take care of all of Raine's needs. However, rigtht after they convinced Raine that she can have the love of both of them, one issues right after another comes up to test their new relationship. They were able to overcome these issues but ends the story with a surprise! I can't wait for Book 4 to see what happens!

Raine Kendall is in love with both Liam O’Neill and Macen Hammerman (Hammer) and has finally got what she was scared to want. Both men have agreed to share Raine but both struggle with their own desire to have her to themselves. When the trio has to leave the cabin due to an unexpected visitor, it leaves them all wondering if it’s too early to test their new found relationship. Will they be able to make things work or will outside forces tear them apart?

I was given this in exchange for an honest review.

Raine Kendall knows what she wants and that is both Hammer and Liam. Trying to balance the needs of two Dom’s can be difficult for her. She wants to show them both just how much she loves them but after years of abuse she still has a hard time letting them in. Add Liam’s ex-wife into the mix and Raine begins to doubt herself. She wonders why Liam would ever want someone so broken and difficult when he could have the picture perfect wife again. She does her best to remember what Hammer and Liam taught her at the cabin but both men have to remind her just how perfect just as she is.

Liam may have agreed to the arrangement of sharing Raine for her but his jealousy still gets the better of him. He knows that Raine told him that she loves him but it’s hard for him to believe as she has been in love with Hammer for six years and has only been with him for a month. Having his ex-wife pop unexpectedly up just as they trio is getting use to their new arrangement only confuses him further and leaves him believing that Raine may not love him as much as she loves Hammer.

Hammer has his own issues but sharing Raine with Liam isn’t one of them. The fact that he shared his late wife with Liam before helps him see what they could have but the lack of communication from his late wife made things worse and she ended her life without telling them how she felt. This keeps playing on Hammers mind which makes him more cautious with Raine as the love he has for her isn’t like anything he’s experienced before and losing her would kill him. When Liam’s ex-wife shows up and throws a wrench in the plans, he does his best to keep Raine from finding out what a bitch the woman truly is.

The writing trio of Shayla Black, Jenna Jacob, and Isabella LaPearl did it again. They had me blushing but wanting more of Hammer and Liam. The chemistry between the trio had my heart racing. The intense intimate scene between Raine and her guys were just as hot, if not even hotter then before. Hammer is the strong, no nonsense Dom who goes after and gets what he wants. Where Liam is the strong silent, loving and softer Dom who balances Hammer. They’re the perfect combination in my opinion for any girl in want for a Ménage a trios. Raine may be seen as the frighten little girl however in this book proved that she is anything but. She shows her strength when she needs to and has learn to talk to the men before running away. No matter what Hammer and Liam may agree or disagree as to what is best for Raine, they both only have her safety and well-being in mind. Of course this leads to several twist and turns in that left me glued to the book. Just when I thought I had things figured out something else comes up and I was back on the roller coaster ride. This book has the most suspense of the three and left me guessing what was coming next. Of course there will be a fourth book to the series so we were left with a cliff-hanger and asking the questions of, who and what. I can’t wait to get my hand on the next book in the series to see what is in store for Raine, Liam and Hammer.

The Bold and the Dominant is finally here! Shayla Black, Jenna Jacob, & Isabella LaPearl have released the most action filled - and not just steamy, between the sheets action, either - installment of the Doms of Her Life series to date. It doesn't let up from the second chapter onward, which left me wondering exactly where this trio plus expected to take a breath.

FINALLY, everybody's on the same page. Liam and Hammer have come to an agreement about Raine: a ménage. And why not? Raine can't live without either of her men and they would do anything to be with her. But as soon as their relationship is established, Liam gets a call about his ex wife, Gwyneth. That's someone he'd rather do without; however, her actions aren't just about disrupting his life again. This time, she's determined to annihilate everyone and everything in her path and her plan seems to be more than successful.

The trio's trust issues are stretched to the breaking point with not just Liam's menace wreaking havoc but Raine's past and Hammer's secrets catching up to the present. It's non-stop suspense and whodunnits making this a terrifically exciting story. Of course the erotica provides a ton of hotness, especially when Hammer's inner beast decides to show. Liam's gentleness is the perfect foil to Hammer's force and that combination gets Raine undone.

Their sidekicks are hot, too. Beck becomes more and more of Raine's pillar of strength (funny, because she was afraid of him the most) and seems to fill the role of big brother for her. And enter Seth, Liam's friend from New York come to save Liam for himself. There are no better sounding boards and non-judgmental guides for Raine. Excitement seem to follow here two around as well.

Have Seth or Beck found his Heavenly mate, I wonder? Will they decide to team up, too? Hopefully there's enough fodder there for another series. Hint, hint. And how will the two big, bad Doms handle Raine's newest predicament? As to the male stranger, I have my own guess! So many puzzles, so much more time to the release of the next book after The Bold and The Dominant! Shayla Black, Jenna Jacob, & Isabella LaPearl, it's safe to say I'm waiting. Impatiently.

***Received an ARC in exchange for a honest review*** I must say this is the best book of the series so far. Raine, Liam and Hammer have finally bonded as a family and trouble shows up. Liam's ex wife shows up with a baby and Raine's father shows his face. Liam and Hammer try to handle the headaches without telling Raine which backfires on all cylinders. This book has many twists, turns, feelings hurt, trust questioned and new relationships. I so loved how this book ends. I'm so looking forward to reading the last book.

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.

As everyone knows, navigating a new relationship is hard. Its even harder when the three people involved in said relationship have doubts about the true feelings and motives of the others involved. Liam wants to be happy, but with his ex showing up unannounced, and causing more problems at a time when he's trying to ensure Raine knows how he feels about her.

Hammer ishappy and would be happier if Raine's father would disappear forever. He knows he should have taken a more pro-active approach with him years ago, but Raine's safety was more important to him, both then and now.

Raine knows there is more going on that than what Liam and Hammer are telling her. She can sense it, feel it. As much as they want her honesty and trust, she needs the same from them.

Raine's submissive nature emerges and both Liam and Macen are astounded by her faith in them. Until they screw up. Again. Raine's submissive nature takes a backseat to her anger, and she lets the f bombs fly.

With each of them facing their own fears and doubts, its a toss up as to who's fears will come to the forefront next. Through it all, their love remains steady and strong, and as they learn to talk it through their problems rather than around them, you can't help but to root for this dynamic threesome.

★✩★✩★ 5- Oh my dear sweet, sexy & broken Liam -Stars ★✩★✩★
~this review may contain minor spoilers~

“Either you trust that they have your best interests at heart or you don't. And if you don't, why are you with them?”
“I do. I love them both. I feel safe with them. I can't breathe without them.”

Liam O'Neill and Macen Hammerman have FINALLY started to break down the walls surrounding Raine Kendall's heart and have learned how to work together to be everything she needs. But all too soon, their blissful little bubble gets blown to hell when Liam's cheating, witch of an ex comes storming back into his life with news that could destroy everything. Determined to protect the woman they love from Liam's past, they decide to keep her in the dark till they figure out just what exactly Gwyneth is up to. In doing that, Liam turns her over to Hammer's care which just might prove to be the straw that broke the camel's back as Liam starts to think that maybe Hammer can give Raine everything she needs.... and she just might not need Liam after all.

~“Liam,” Raine moaned in a breathy whisper.
He turned and watched her squirm in her seat, wanton and desperate, uninhibited. Raine had opened herself utterly to Macen, so Liam didn't answer. What could he say? She didn't need him. And he didn't need her pity.~

This series has been one giant emotional rollarcoaster so far and this installment was no different. I won't go into too much more detail because there are quite a few twists I never saw coming that you just have to experience as it hits. I will say, I am in awe at the changes these characters have gone through. Raine has come so far from the girl we met in the first book, it has been beautiful to watch. As I've mentioned in my previous reviews, it took me awhile to warm up to Hammer simply due to his actions. Heck, I didn't really like him much at all til the second book and he still cheeses me off from time to time but... he has crawled his way into my heart. Now Liam has OWNED ME since the very beginning so this book was particularly hard for me. It kills me that such a sweet, caring, strong, dominant man suffers so much insecurity-but I get it. His ex did a number on him sure, but Raine -willing or not- has done the most damage. I don't doubt that she loves him, but I can definitely see why he feels the way he does-even if Raine and Hammer can't, or won't. I seriously just want to snuggle the guy and care for him the way he so desperately needs. I truly believe the Dom in him NEEDS and DESERVES a 'scene' between just him and Raine for his own piece of mind as well as to set everyone else straight. AND THEN a 'scene' between the three of them just to cement the relationship. BUT that is simply my hope and desire for the future. I am also finding myself growing very attached to Seth and Beck-both have been instrumental in the growth of our trio and at least I can count on Seth to always have Liam's back. This series and these authors have been nothing short of amazing and I'm left once again screaming for more... and more than a little nervous... and possibly a little peeved-friggin Hammer. I can already see my sanity slipping away from me waiting for the next installment of this hott-as-sin, drama packed, emotional ride and I'm totally okay with that.

~Seth shrugged. “He and I are tight, but you two have a bond that's... beyond. I couldn't help him anymore. I think you can. I know Raine can-if you can manage to keep it all together.”
Hammer felt himself getting a bit choked up. “We will. I'll do whatever it takes.”~

Happy Reading xo Jenn @ BookwormBetties

"She's my life now. It was bad enough when I'd convinced myself she didn't love me. But a world without her at all is one I don't want to live in."

"Yeah. If we'd lost Raine..." He swallowed a lump in his throat. "I couldn't go through."

Those two quotes show only a tiny bit of how much Hammer and Liam love Raine. They both have decided they can't live without her. In making that decision the two men decide to share her. They've done this once before with Hammer's wife and it ended badly.

The Bold and the Dominant is the third book in The Doms of Her Life series and when you read it, hold on because you're in for a bumpy ride. If you remember the unbelievable night of passion Raine and her Doms had at the end of The Young and Submissive, you know that Hammer and Liam have come to the decision to share Raine. You also know Liam received a phone call from his ex wife Gwyneth that blows him away.

Gwyneth is a horrible shrew of a woman who cheated on Liam during their marriage. If you think she doesn't have an ulterior motive coming back into Liam's life, you're wrong. Gwyneth causes more havoc in an already complicated situation. Right about now you're probably asking, what did she do? Well, I'm not telling, so go one click now so you can get up to speed.

During this debacle with Gwyneth, Liam worries he's going to lose Raine to Hammer. Since the men are trying to hide Gwyneth from Raine, Obviously Hammer is spending some quality time with her. The whole Dom and Submissive business comes down to complete trust and honesty and for some things, Liam and Hammer tend to keep the truth from Raine. When she does finally run into Gwyneth, it's not a pretty sight.

Add an unexpected person from Raine's past trying to move back in the picture, and you get plot twist after plot twist. All the while Liam and Hammer doing their very best to take care of and satisfy Raine.

Hammer is still the rough around the edges Dom who's been in love with Raine for six years. Liam has known Raine for like a minute and is also crazy in love with her. Liam is more tender and loving. The two men balance each other out. But they are both alpha males and sometimes that leads to the men giving each other ass kicking.

Now I admit the idea of a menage with me and two men does sound appealing. But I'm kind of having a little trouble with the whole sharing thing. Clearly, BDSM is not my lifestyle and I don't know very much about it. I do know if I was in love with someone, sharing would not work for me. Which leads me to my question. Can Raine really be so desperately in love with both men? Liam and Hammer say they're completely fine with their sharing situation, but they both still have a lot of jealousy issues and to me that means this relationship has the potential to explode.

Back to the story. Thankfully, the Gwyneth situation sort of resolves itself because there's a much bigger problem on the horizon. During all of the crazy, Liam and Hammer remain desperate to protect and love their girl. Liam buys Raine a beautiful home for the threesome to live in and Hammer is having it decorated to Raine's liking.

Once again, our authors have given us some hotter than hot sex scenes in The Bold and the Dominant. When Hammer and Raine scene at Shadows and Hammer claims her it's absolutely squirm in your seat worthy.

I also have to say I rather enjoy Seth and Beck's insight into this interesting relationship. They are not only good friends to Liam and Hammer, they are funny as hell. They too really care about Raine. Thankfully, they don't try and claim her for their own. Imagine?

So now, our trio is together thinking about their future and......plot twist! It's a big one and potentially relationship changing.

I was hoping to tell everyone which Dom I'd choose because as much as I like the idea of being taken care of by two men, I think my heart could only belong to one. But since there's going to be one more story in our series, you'll have to wait til then.

I really do like this series a lot. I like the characters and I love sexy alpha men and there are plenty of them. So I'm giving The Bold and the Dominant a four lip smack review. I can't wait to see how this story plays out!

Marie's Tempting Reads Gifted Review:

The Bold and the Dominant is the third book in The Doms of her Life Series and so far, is my absolute FAVORITE. So much happens in this story. Hammer and Liam and Raine are finally getting started on their future after breaking down the walls Raine had erected for so long to keep herself from feeling vulnerable. Then Liam's ex comes back into his life with something that brings back insecurities and threatens everything he holds dear.

I really LOVED the fact that The Bold and the Dominant started right where The Young and the Submissive ended. Drama is calling for Liam in the form of his ex-wife and he acts quickly to get to the bottom of why his ex wants to see him. He and Hammer work together to keep Raine safe from his nasty witch of an ex. Its a bumpy road that leads into trouble for all three of them but these three have something worth fighting for, love. On top of the nasty ex, another monster from the past comes back and its up to Hammer and Liam to keep their beautiful fiery submissive safe. And even though at first, they made a few mistakes, I really enjoyed seeing how quickly they realize them and do everything they can to make things right. One of my favorite things about The Bold and the Dominant is the passion. It never ceases to amaze me on how strong the passion and love is between these three characters. I am absolutely addicted to this series and especially this book.

Another great thing about this story is seeing how well Raine came from the two previous books. She grew so much and opened up to become a very lovely submissive for Liam and Hammer. Even though she does an incredible job of going up and beyond her comfort level, she still maintained her fiery passion and she definitely showed her Doms that she will not take things calmly when she feels she has been wronged. It definitely made for some great make-up sex!

Which leads me to this, the intensely erotic sex! The BDSM in this series, is stunning, eye-opening, passionate, kinky without being icky and makes me absolutely breathless. I love how animalistic things got in some of the scenes. And the fact that Miss Jacob, Miss LaPearl, and Miss Black wrote it in such a way that instead of making me cringe it left me with some great fantasies to share with my hubby!! I also love the fact that both Hammer and Liam can get in their Dom mode, yet still take the time to care and love Raine like a man should. In every touch and sensual whisper, they cherish and protect Raine in every way a man should, that both soothes them and satisfies their inner Doms.

The Bold and the Dominant has the most amazing characters: From sweet Raine, to tough Hammer, to caring Liam, and sweet yet scary Beck, and fun Seth. We also got to see some nasty characters that will leave you cringing in disgust. And wishing you can bitch-slap the crap out of them. It's a passionate love story with plenty of tension and a juicy plot! With how much I enjoyed this story it really isn't a surprise that I went with a FANTASTIC FOUR AND A HALF SHOOTING STARS! If you love a good story with equal measure drama, passion, and suspense, and mind blowing sex featuring our favorite trio, then step into Shadows and be prepared for a great romance!

I could not say with enough words how much I love The Bold and The Dominant! I went into this book slightly nervous not knowing if I needed to re-read The Young and The Submissive (Book 2) to pick up where the story left off, nevertheless I was able to start diving it and everything about the character came flowing back as if it was natural without any hesitancy or questioning of what happened between Hammer, Liam, & Raine.

Hammer, Liam, and Raine are still trying to work things out as a relationship that involves the three of them. With two alpha controlling type doms that have continuously been jealous over one another, as a reader you start to think...can this really work? Poor Raine must be dizzy just from watching these two men.

I love how Raine has grown throughout the series and it has really shown in this book, she still has her insecurities which we discover the reasons behind those insecurities. My heart just melts for what Raine has gone through in her past but don't mistake that her insecurities because in no way does that make her weak because when she wants something or when she's mad...watch out the claws come out, boy does she have a smart mouth and a temper which I love about her.

Outside of seeing how Raine has grown in the series, we see how Hammer has dealt with having a relationship with Raine, someone he's always wanted and sharing her with Liam, which I was pretty impressed with the direction that Hammer has taken and how well he's handled the situations as a whole but he still has his moments of slipping up. Also, Liam...poor Liam....this guy does not catch a break in this book, his past reappears and scenarios that causes me as a reader seem to wonder if he can ever get out of the hell hole situation.

Every book in the series becomes increasingly better, leaving you wanting more, turning those pages faster than the last few and not waiting to finish! A collaboration between the three authors that I believe is written so well, it's hard to decipher who's writing who. Be ready to dive in and not come up for air because this book will keep any reader on the edge of their seats.

**Contains cliffhanger and best read in a series**

Every book in this series has drawn me in a bit more. In each book the characters and their relationships are more defined and more intimate. Raine is maturing into a strong woman who just happens to be in love with two men. Each of them hold half her heart. The only way for her to be complete is to be with both Hammer and Liam. While she believes this can only be her fantasy, the men make it her reality. Once the decision to become a trio is made, the men each fight an inner battle. Liam is deeply jealous of Hammer and his love for Raine. He feels that he can't compete with a man she has loved for years. Hammer on the other hand fights his inner self, trying to control the beast within. While the two men are best friends, the beginning of this trio is full of jealousy, fear and even a brawl. While the sex is intense between the three, the twists involving Raine's father and Liam's ex-wife provide ample suspense and drama in this book.

Seeking to tame Raine's inner wildcat and smooth her sometimes rough edges, Liam and Hammer take on the task of training Raine to be their perfect submissive. As in all relationships, honest and communication are the keys. Often Raine tries their patience but even though her training is cut short, they eventually realize that she has learned more than they realized. When people from Raine and Liam's pasts resurface to create chaos, all hell breaks loose. The reader gets to see more of Beck and Seth in this installment, both characters are extremely likable, especially the sadist. Raine's father, wretched creature that he is, pretty much defines the term sociopath. His reentry into Raine's life creates a great deal of suspense and intrigue. It appears that these three loving souls may never catch a break. I am anxiously awaiting the next book from this series. The collaboration of these three authors is fantastic.

Well I don't even know where I should begin with the fabulous, can't put the book down, I have to find out how things turn out book!! I must say it was a pleasure to receive an arc to review. Shayla, Jenna and Isabella gave us a panty dropping book!!!

I found that I Raine had a lot of insecurities that stopped her from becoming the amazing women that she is. The strain of her young life with her father really did something to her mind and she stayed closed off from everyone. I don't think she was the only one with issues though. It seemed that both Liam and Hammer had issues somewhat similar to Raine but had different ways of showing them.

This book opened my eyes to a lot of questions that I had. The authors truly put this together in a fabulous way and everything came together. There are still questions about the surprises that popped up but reading the other books on the series answered all of them. The surprises that come along only made Raine, Hammer and Liam stronger. The love that they have for each other is unmistakable and learning how to trust each other comes slowly but stronger.

Raine not only depended on Hammer and Liam but other members as well. For me, that made the book even better because we are able to see how the main characters are but the other characters shine. I loved Beck and Seth and I really want a story for them. They are main characters in their own right but fabulous!!

Will the past come back and haunt them? Will the future be everything that each of them want? Can this trio stick together and be who they truly want to be? Those are the questions that will hopefully be answered throughout the book and the next book.

This is the book I have been waiting for. Let me tell you, as much as I loved the first two books, this one really stole my heart. We finally get to see this amazing trio in action living their daily lives and figuring out how to handle everything that can come up.

Liam & Macen finally get Raine to open up and stop shutting herself off from them (I know, about time!). However, things are never as easy and stress free as they would like. Liam has to face his past and figure out how to do that without giving up his entire future. Macen must figure out how to handle this new stress induced situation, and keep Raine from losing her progress she has finally made.

The question becomes, what is going to happen now that these three people must face the past and all the ugliness it can bring into their newly built relationship. Will Raine be able to handle the truth without running away or hiding? Will Macen be able to let go of the reins and trust Raine can handle the truth? Will Liam find out the truth without losing his future with these two other people??

This book helps us see that Raine has grown into her submission and, as expected, still has room to grow. Liam & Macen must grow in their partnering Dominance and support Raine without taking away those things they love most about her. Liam needs to be honest and open with Raine about his feelings and his needs, while Macen must also be honest and trust in her feelings.

If you have come to love this feisty handful of a woman and the two men that love her more than anyone else, grab this newest book and find out if they will all finally get the happy ending that they truly deserve!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I’ve had so many ups and downs with this series that I honestly didn’t know what to expect with this book. I was a bit apprehensive to start reading “The Bold and the Dominant”. I was afraid that it would drag for me like “The Young and the Submissive”. I was also a little leery after learning that there was a cliffhanger. If you’ve read any of my reviews, you know I hate cliffhangers. I started this series not expecting any cliffhangers and so far I’ve had three. –sigh-

Okay, enough with the negative. I absolutely, positively loved “The Bold and the Dominant”. It grabbed hold of me and didn’t let go until the very end, and then I still wanted more. I do have to say that none of the cliffhangers in the three books were major to me. I’ve felt that I could be patient and wait for the next book with each one. I didn’t feel the overwhelming need to badger the author for the next book.

I loved the entire book. It was perfect. I’m not giving any spoilers here. The storyline was perfect, and every single thing happened just the way I’d want it to. I can’t wait for the next book. I have no idea how long we’ll be waiting, I haven’t heard anything about the 4th book. I’m also looking forward to more of Beck and Seth. I’d love to have a spinoff with those two Dom’s. –yummy-

Liam and Hammer love Raine and she loves them both. They have agreed to be as one, not a couple but the three together. There is jealousy, guilt, insecurities, betrayal and love in this story.

Raine is guiding her men to her heart and soul. Being strong for them and giving them what they need as her Doms. She is determined to be the submissive they need and want.

Both Liam and Hammer are working at being the best Doms they can be for Raine. They have given everything of themselves to her to show her how much they love her. The three of them together is absolutely the sexiest scenes.

Liam and Hammer feel the tension when the past comes to the present and they try to reassure Raine of their love for her and to keep everyone safe. The past brings more insecurity with Liam and Hammer. How will they put the past behind them and keep it behind them, while still keeping Raine secure with them and their lives. The love they feel for their woman is powerful and HOT!

But will their declaration of love and dominance be enough to keep them all together and safe?

OH MY GAWD!! This has to have been the most emotional by far in this series. I had to swipe at the tears a few times.

In this installment, we see Liam battle his insecurities about his place and role in his relationship with Hammer and Raine.

On top of that he's dealing with a crazy ex-wife he hoped he'd never see again and her selfish antics to get him back. And the frosting on the craptastic cupcake being served up to them on this Hellacious day... Raine's father is spreading his poison and both Liam and Hammer are trying to keep him from Raine.

From the moment they wake up, the day is a never ending rolling coaster of stuff to deal with and with ever turn, poor Liam gets put through the ringer.

These authors have such a talent that their writing for each book in the series is PERFECTLY seemless. They are so insync that if you didn't know, you'd think that it was the work of a single author. They are truly talented!

I love this series and its characters and will eagerly await the release of #4.

Loved it, the wait did not disappoint. Will men ever learn that women are stronger than they think. You finally have the woman you fought so hard to keep to try to lose her again. This book drew me in and made me holler at times. This is the best series.

Raine, Liam, and Hammer have been working with her to get her to open up more. They have been at Liam's lodge with Beck and Seth as well. Things were going really good for a couple of day but when Liam received a call from his ex stating she was at the club, he became enraged. The news that was given Hammer from Pike when he called to find out what was going on was even more shocking.

Liam's ex is a scheming woman. She doesn't stop until she gets what she wants. She wants Liam but why and what for after two years. What she does and the things that sets in motion not only hurt Hammer and Liam but also put Raine in danger. When She is rejected and humiliated by Liam she wants to get Raine out of the picture but who she calls is the worst person possible.

Raine has fallen in live with Liam and Hammer. She can explain how or why it has happened but it has so when Liam is preoccupied with his ex and trying to figure out what she wants, Raine feels her insecurities return. This leads to more problems and could possibly tear them apart.

What will they do? Will Liam's ex win Liam? Will this be the end of the three of them?

I would recommend this book to my friends. It shows that sometimes you have to do what is necessary to survive.

Once again Shayla leaves you on the edge of your seat. I love all her books. Can't not wait to find out what happens next.
I think this book is by far the best in the series. I love how Hammer and Liam work together to help Raine. Hope everything works out in the next book but we know it won't. Hope all goes well with her being pregnant.

Oh my goodness This entire series you are thrown curve balls and other balls :). Book 3 I will say so far is the most shocking of the 3.....so far. I loved this book I could not put it down a few times at work I had to stop get up and walk around because I was like oh my word what just happened!!!! This book is amazing AMAZING!!!!

Each installment of Hammer, Liam and Raine's story just gets better and better!! Enjoying the way each of them view and navigate the trials and tribulations of a menage relationship and how they are basically feeling their way. The ending of this book was very surprising, suspenseful and leaves you just a little bit breathless...

Wow!!! I am addicted to this story !!! I love Liam,Macen and Raine!! Their story has me sucks fun and cannot wait for the next story to come !!!

Bring it on soon!!!!

This is a well written , hot and steamy story with so many interesting parts!!

Thank you so much for the chance to read it

Wow, I dont think I have the words to describe this book. Talk about pulling on my emotional strings. I’m in awe of Raines strength to overcome whatever life throws at her. The devotion and love that she has towards Liam and Macen and how those two men love Raine with all their heart. I’m still secretly team Liam.

At First, I was a little bored with this book. The characters fell back into bad habits and the plot "twists" we're predictable. However, I powered through and I'm glad I did!!! The last half of the book is so great! The predictability is not as it seems and the ending? Complete cliffhanger!!! I cannot wait for the fourth book in this series!

What an exhilarating ride. From beginning to end this book keeps you on the edge of your seat with all the twists and turns. Loved it and can't wait for the next installment. Great additions to the characters backgrounds and great camaraderie between all the characters. Couldn't put it down..

I was nipping at the bit for book 3 of The Doms of Her Life Series and wow did it blow it out of the park!!! Hot, sexy, suspenseful and full of sexy as sin Doms that will have you salivating! The story of Liam, Raine, & Macen continues and captivates from beginning to end! I absolutely loved it!!! Liam & Hammer make the temperature in a room rise & have you wishing they were yours to keep. Also, I was on one hell of a ride for this one and let me just say that I didn't want to get off!! Shayla, Jenna & Isabella have done it once again!!! You ladies are amazing!!! Can't wait for book 4!!!!

If you haven't read this series it is a major MUST-READ!!!

Let me tell you about this amazing new story, The Bold and the Dominant. I've read the first 2 books in this series (One Dom to Love and The Young and the Submissive) and they were HOT hot. So I knew going into this third one that I'd be wowed. The only word that fell from my mouth in the 18 hours it took to get through this entire book was "NO!". With varying degrees of emotion. A surprised no. An angry no. A bashful no. A shocked no. And at the end, a devastated no that I have to wait for the last book to come out. I seriously cannot wait to hear about Raine and Macen and Liam.

To be more detailed, just after becoming an item, the three central characters go through some truly hellacious scenarios. At times, I wanted to throttle Liam. I understand his insecurity but Lord, man, grow a pair sometimes! And Macen (I absolutely refuse to call him Hammer. He's not a mobster!!)....well, I will say I don't think he's my favorite of the two. But together, he and Liam are perfect. And the erotic scenes are nothing short of breathtaking.

Seriously, though, that very last line....that's what you leave me with??????? Whaaaaa!!!!!!

OH MY GAWD!! This has to have been the most emotional by far in this series. I had to swipe at the tears a few times.

The last half of the book is so great! The predictability is not as it seems and the ending? Complete cliffhanger!!! I cannot wait for the fourth book in this series!

What an exhilarating ride. From beginning to end this book keeps you on the edge of your seat with all the twists and turns. Loved it and can't wait for the next installment. Great additions to the characters backgrounds and great camaraderie between all the characters. Couldn't put it down..

Looking for an exciting and unbelievable well written third installment of "The Doms of Her Life". This book certainly keeps you emotionally drained with the highs and lows. Nothing can prepare you for the love that finally sends everyone over the edge. Can their friendship and love for Raine survive? The ultimate in friendship and love is tested that only the fourth book can bring you to completion.

I was nipping at the bit for book 3 of The Doms of Her Life Series and wow did it blow it out of the park!!! Hot, sexy, suspenseful and full of sexy as sin Doms that will have you salivating! The story of Liam, Raine, & Macen continues and captivates from beginning to end! I absolutely loved it!!! Liam & Hammer make the temperature in a room rise & have you wishing they were yours to keep. Also, I was on one hell of a ride for this one and let me just say that I didn't want to get off!! Shayla, Jenna & Isabella have done it once again!!! You ladies are amazing!!! Can't wait for book 4!!!!

If you haven't read this series it is a major MUST-READ!!!

Let me tell you about this amazing new story, The Bold and the Dominant. I've read the first 2 books in this series (One Dom to Love and The Young and the Submissive) and they were HOT hot. So I knew going into this third one that I'd be wowed. The only word that fell from my mouth in the 18 hours it took to get through this entire book was "NO!". With varying degrees of emotion. A surprised no. An angry no. A bashful no. A shocked no. And at the end, a devastated no that I have to wait for the last book to come out. I seriously cannot wait to hear about Raine and Macen and Liam.

To be more detailed, just after becoming an item, the three central characters go through some truly hellacious scenarios. At times, I wanted to throttle Liam. I understand his insecurity but Lord, man, grow a pair sometimes! And Macen (I absolutely refuse to call him Hammer. He's not a mobster!!)....well, I will say I don't think he's my favorite of the two. But together, he and Liam are perfect. And the erotic scenes are nothing short of breathtaking.

Seriously, though, that very last line....that's what you leave me with??????? Whaaaaa!!!!!!

So good I couldn't put it down. This book blows the others out of the water when it comes down to the bare bones of the plot and character development. Raine, Macen, and Liam are so great together, the way they work together through their problems makes me hope the fourth book doesn't tear them apart. And it was definately heart wrenching, I had to track down a few tissues to get through the last part. I shold have know Id need them. Can not WAIT to read the fourth book.

One of the very best series I have ever read! Fantastic story, exciting plot, suspense, with riveting twists and turns. Very well written with in depth characters, believable story, and exciting finish. The authors are amazing.

Starting with the amazing nail biting cliffhanger from the 2nd book, this book did not disappoint. Everything about their journey has been amazing. All the twists and turns have made me love all three of them even more. Best book so far. The character development has been amazing. A must read!!!

Well just when I think it can't get any more crazy it does! The emotions you experience when reading this series are all over the place! Definite page turner! I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for book 4!!

This is the best of the series yet! This continues the story of Liam, Hammer and Raine. This is the third book in the Doms of Her Life series and they must be read in order. Raine continues to try to figure out how to handle not one but two alpha Doms and Liam/Hammer are still struggling with trust and jealousy issues. An ex and other obstacles get thrown into the mix and it makes for one great read! Can't wait for the fourth book.

I'm so in love with this series! I absolutely could not put this book down nor did I want it to finish. Shayla Black, Jenna Jacob and Isabella LaPearl have done an outstanding job with these books. It brings out all the feels from the thigh clenching to the frustrations.

These characters will eat you alive. From the heart stopping emotions, to the bouts of jealousy, the rage and audacity at some of the twists and turns that will have you gripping at your hair. This book devoured me. It took me on an emotional high that I was not expecting. The main characters consumed me.

Such an extraordinary story from three amazing authors. The story flows so perfectly. You wouldn't even be able to tell that there are three different authors writing this.

I love a good ménage story but this series far exceeds my expectations and has become a favorite. I can't wait to read more of Liam, Raine and Hammer. And I'm sooo crossing my fingers that we get stories about Beck and Seth. They have definitely left a mark and I need more.

A phenomenal read that you surely won't want to miss out on.

This book picks up where the second one leaves off. Over the course of the books you see Raine really transform. In the third book she is faced with several hurdles that she must overcome to get her happily ever after with Hammer and Liam. I loved the surprise at the end and cannot wait for the conclusion of the series. I really hope Seth and Beck get their own book, I love them!!

Love this series! As with all Shayla Black books (I am an avid, dedicated reader of all things Shayla) the characters are rich with complexities and oh so interesting. The storyline intriguing and compelling. Sexy scenes? Off the chart and panty melting. Can hardly wait for The Edge of Dominance. Definitely a series worth rereading!

WOW! We return to the cabin where we left Raine, Liam and Macen. Macen and Liam had broken past Raine's walls. They were able to get past their jealous emotions and conquer Raine. Their request for truth and honesty doesn't last long when they are confronted with a demon from Liam's past. Macen decides it's best to keep information from Raine in order to protect her. Macen is also hiding a secret from Raine that almost destroys them all.

I ABSOLUTELY loved this story! It was worth the wait. Liam and Macen struggle with their insecurities. They both need Raine to continually assure them that she loves them equally. Raine struggles with feeling rejected. Liam, Macen and Raine have been hurt in their pasts and find it difficult to trust. No one wants to be hurt, it's worse now that they are in love. Raine is a strong woman, she overcomes her past and learns to give herself over to her men. However it's Macen and Liam's insecurities that almost destroy their future. The ending was explosive! I didn't see it coming. By far this is the best of the series. Dam, this story makes bite marks HOT! I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK!

Love the story took off took up right where left off in book 2 they're worried there upset insecure they're doing everything they can to protect her feelings and make sure she doesn't go back into her shell but yet they're so insecure about her feelings for them but they're messing it up typical men. In the end they prove that they love her beyond all doubt to the point that they are willing and able to take the blame for something that she didn't self-defense I don't think I'll ever let her down so we cherish for the rest of her life. Can't wait for the next installment hope it's as good and or if not better than this one I've got them all don't have to worry about me put him down.

After getting things moving on the right track, we find life almost derailed again at the beginning of the book. What phone call is received by Liam before the sun is even up? What is going on? Who has shown up at The Shadows and why? What 'news' are Hammer and Liam given that changes the course of their 'work' with Raine? The drive home is quite 'interesting'. What is going on in Raine's mind? What does Hammer try to do to distract her? What does she sense about the whole situation? We know Raine's father has been trying to cause trouble, what happens when Liam is taking the unannounced 'guests' to Beck's condo? Talk about a manipulative person, man, I hate the woman. What happens when Raine goes out to run errands? When the men take her out to dinner that night, what if anything happens? What does she do when/if they tell her what is going on with Liam and the uninvited and unwanted guests? How does Beck help Liam other than with the use of the condo? What happens 24 hours later? You are going to have to read and find out. I look forward to the other books in this series!

RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin' With M. Brennan.

The Bold and the Dominant is book three in the Doms of Her Life Series and picks up where book 2 left off. As you know Liam and Macen finally got through to Raine and now they are one happy trio...well, not for long. Liam’s vicious ex-wife has found him and is bringing a whole slew of drama with her. Liam and Macen try to keep this from Raine but as you know, you can’t hide anything from Raine and when she does find out, it’s not pretty. And the drama doesn’t stop there!

This series only gets better and better. I’m obsessed with Macen and Liam and really jealous of Raine. These men balance each other out and together they complete Raine. It’s hard not to become obsessed with these characters and this series. The writing is phenomenal, the plot is sexy and exciting, and the characters are one-of-a-kind. I can’t wait for the next book to be released!

It is a big book and that is a strength and a weakness at the same time. It is great that the authors are able to take their time and don’t rush any events, but at the same time it drags and you just want to speed things along.

I liked this book better than the second book because Raine got her act more together and showed more of her spirit. I loved how she stood up against her father.

Liam way of dealing with his act was very funny and Mace stepped up when he needed to..

Holy cow. I keep falling deeper and deeper into these books. I can't wait to see the conclusion but also don't want it to end. Raine fights so hard for what she wants but also questions everything. It isn't hard to relate to her troubles. Then there is Liam and Hammer. They also have their issues but are fighting to be part of the triad. You can't help but to root for the 3 of them. These books are amazing. I never doubted these authors but they just proved what I always knew and that is I will always read their books. They are absolutely riveting. You laugh and cry and laugh again. The female character is submissive but strong and that appeals to me. You never want her to be a doormat. I love these books and am going to have a he k of a time waiting for the last. Thanks for a wonderful adventure.

This is a series that just keeps getting better! The third book of this serious had me biting my nails and on the edge of my seat! This was the first book that I truly loved all the main characters throughout out the book. I loved seeing how more in love they became and I have to say I also love the secondary "good guys". This books is so well written, with twist and turns along with laughs and tears. I know I always say it, but I truly can't wait for the next one in the series. These ladies have written this so well!

Every book in this series leaves you wanting more when it ends. I can't wait for the 4th book to see how they handle this latest development in their ménage relationship. The characters have grown so much and battled through so many issues you can't help but hope it all works out and they get their HEA.

Really? What can I say.. This series has had me nothing but craving more. I can usually guess what will happen next, but not this time..book 3 has completely blown my mind. I'm anxious to see what happens with book 4.. New revelations..will things fall apart for the Liam, Raine and Hammer or could life really be a fairytale?!
