As you are all aware, today is Saturday and that usually means it's Author Saturday Spotlight! Well, the author set to be here today had a family emergency so I had to come up with something clever to fill this slot. A reader of the blog, Em, (I don't want to use their full name as I haven't asked if I could) Came up with the idea that I should talk about top favorites in tropes. I thought and thought and realized that was a great idea. Now, what trope? Since menage is one of my top three (LOL) favorite tropes that's what I chose to deal with today.
I have read many menage stories and there are so many lovely ones I picked some that I remembered off the top of my head because they checked off all the boxes. I'm ridiculously picky about my menage. I believe on top of the physical element there must be a psychological one. It must make complete sense in all areas. I love seeing how the mind works so to understand three people in a serious relationship I HAVE to believe it.
As I said, I put together some and yes I'm aware I'm missing many but a blog post can only be so long. Of course, I'm happy to talk about it with all of you so ask me here or as you know I'm on FB and everywhere.
At the end, there is a giveaway where I will gift one person one of these books. It will be through Amazon. Sit back and relax....

Richard and Matthew push him past all his boundaries—both sexually and personally—and now he's no longer hiding from his senator father. He's taking him on. And he isn't just falling for one man.

The Protector (Sizzling Miami 3) by Jessie G
The whole series is great but I’m talking ménage here LOL…
There was a time when Master Saul Alvarez filled his days fighting and his nights teaching willing subs the pleasure of his whip. His compassionate understanding of the masochist mind makes him the most sought after professional sadist in the Miami BDSM community. Neither role invites long term relationships, but he’s comfortable with his solitary existence until he is charged with guarding Durango's prized whore. One look into those terror filled eyes has him vowing to risk it all to save the beautiful man.
Javier Escardo had been praying for death, but never expected the stone cold killer he got in response. One glimpse into those sinful eyes reveals not only the promise of retribution, but a reason to live. Seven years later, free and mostly sane, Javier is determined to take what belongs to him. Saul’s heart. Through hell and back, through layers of pain and shifting realities, that one truth has remained firm. His protector needs saving and he can’t do it alone.
Hidden beneath the public persona, Kyle Jansen is a man who craves to be invisible without being insignificant. He longs to find a Master who will see his need to be taken over without abusing him and a lover who will care about him beyond the sexual games. It isn't until he encounters the smoldering combination of Saul and Javier that he realizes it was never supposed to be just one partner at all.
Can two battered hearts be mended by the love of a third? Kyle becomes the light to their darkness, and he’s willing to risk his heart for theirs, but when the past threatens Saul, will Javier’s sacrifice destroy them all?

Scary by JM Dabney
Welcome to Twirled World Ink where the crazies run the
asylum.
Gene Sheridan earned the appropriate nickname when Legend Gib Phelps employed him at Twirled World Ink—Scary. No one made it out of his old neighborhood without scars both mental and physical. At one time, Scary thought he had a chance that is until his ex-boyfriend discovered slumming with someone like him wasn’t worth his trust fund. No-strings hookups became his go-to when he needed to relieve some tension. Co-owning a bar called Brawlers with his best friend, Tank, made it easy to find a body to use for the night. If not happy he was content with his life, but one man made content seem like such a terrible thing.
Elijah Vaughn worried about everything. His life was put on hold at eighteen when his mostly-absent parents died on one of their many adventures leaving him to raise his six-year-old brother, Brody. He’d never had anything or anyone that was just his. When Brody met a tattoo artist named Trouble, Elijah hadn’t realized how much it would change his life too. He met a huge man named Scary and how the man made him feel terrified him.
Tank Davis lost his voice the night he was attacked and had this throat slit ear-to-ear. It kept him in a world of silence. Silent and intimidating, he scared off more men than he drew to him. His best friend Scary and him made a life for themselves in small town Georgia with their bar Brawlers. Most night everyone could find him working security at the door. Scary called in a favor, and Tank met the one man he couldn’t resist, proper and upstanding Elijah Vaughn.
Can one man accept that there’s not one perfect man for him, but two damaged souls who need him to be whole?
Author's Note: Although this is the first book in a series each book is standalone and every book deals with a separate couple.

My favorite thing about menage is when the author manages to really form a bond with three guys. For me that means physical, but also psychological and emotional.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing is the slow burn. I think for a menage that the burn should be slower because there are even more factor that have to fall in place for the eventual collision.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite thing is how often the partners are from different backgrounds but overcome adversity to love one another
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful stories!
ReplyDeleteOne thing I like about reading menage stories is how all the emotions are described and you see that no participant feels in the same way, but they all feel the same love
My favourite thing about menage is usually the various emotions and doubts each of the three (or more) participants have and how they manage to reconcile all of those to make the relationship work.
ReplyDeletePossibly the fact that it often requires more thought and effort to make the relationship work.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about menage is how it highlights that you can love more than one person without diminishing your feelings for each of those people.
ReplyDeleteI think it is hot... You know, the more, the merrier ;)
ReplyDeleteif 2 men are hot together than 3 is better
ReplyDeleteIt's hot lol plus I like how they figure out having a relationship with 3 people that works without two of the guys ending up seeming to much alike
ReplyDeleteI don't usually read menages. When i do I like to see the balance between all three people in the relationship.
ReplyDeleteI like how it shows that traditional relationships aren't the only right kind of relationships. Love is love.
