Blurb: Jasper has finally taken the step to be with his mate, leaving everything and everyone he knows behind. Starting over is hard, especially when you find out your Alpha mate is controlling and dominating—something Jasper isn’t going to stand for.

Zeus tries to cope with the fact that Jasper isn’t as submissive as he wants him to be. Trying to model his relationship after what his parents had isn’t working out so well. Can he give up his control in order to save his relationship?

Toby Kramer is human, and he’s running from a man who wants to see him dead after finding out Toby unknowingly slept with the guy’s partner. He ends up in Pride Pack Valley, trying to start over when an obviously committed couple makes a play for him. Toby wants no part of that.

Can Jasper teach Zeus to let go of his control while teaching Toby to trust that they aren’t out to toy with him? Jasper has his hands full with his two men when trouble finds Toby and tries to take his little mate away from them.

Review: Each book in Lynn Hagen’s Zeus’s Pack collection features a different romantic trio. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. Lynn always gives a story that makes you wish you were right there in the room with them.

There aren’t two sexy men, but three in this series, which seems to make it even hotter. Each of Zeus’s men has gone through hell until Zeus took over. Rape, torture, beatings and so much more. After taking over the pack, his intent is to make peace with the packs near them. However, after meeting up with the Brac Pack he is in for a big surprise. His mate is one of Mavericks warriors.

Jasper has met his mate, but because of misguided loyalty, he wouldn’t leave his pack and his old lover. That is until Cody told him that he was mated to Keata. Then he knew they were being foolish and goes to his mate. Not all of it goes as he expected, for one they wouldn’t let him be the warrior he is. On one of their outings they are in for a bigger surprise, they have a third mate. A very sexy man that they can’t wait to get to know. Another problem is Toby is human.

Toby thinks that Jasper and Zeus are the sexiest men he has ever seen and sure he wouldn’t mind getting naked and having a bit of fun with them, but his fear is that they are just going to use him. It takes all that they have to convince him that they are a forever trio. Also, can Zeus give up his control just a bit to prove that he wants this mating? They each have their problems that they need to fix to make a go at this sexy mating.

I love romance books that are focused on two very sexy men, but Lynn has given a book that has three sexy men. Talk about a hot spot. They each have their problems and their misgivings but they each see it and take the necessary steps to fix it. They show their love in more ways than one and I can’t wait to get my hands on book two. This gave me the three sexy men, two wolves, one alpha, excitement, danger, hot sex, and a great story.

I would recommend reading this story. It will capture your attention from the moment you start reading and keep it all the way to the end. I had a blast reading it and can’t wait to read book two.

Review: This is part of the Zeus’s Pack series and they need to be read in order. Each story is intertwined with each other, but focuses on a new romantic couple. It gives you an insight into their amazing world and lives. I always love Lynn’s books. She gives you characters that you will fall in love, cheer on in their conquest, want to fight besides them when defending their mates and well the true reason is that she gives you sexy men every time. I grew up reading m/f romance stories and it wasn’t till about two years ago when I started reading gay romance. I have got to tell you that I enjoy them more and Lynn has been one of the reasons for that. She gives you such a great story line that involves love, a bit of pain, some danger, and a lot of excitement.

Dorm is an undercover federal agent and has been stuck with the drug cartel for over two years. He has made his way up in ranks and just wanted the job over with. He had been attracted to Bobby but didn’t want to get set up. Being gay in the mob was a sure way of getting killed. However, when the perfect time to arrest everyone goes bad, he grabs Bobby and runs to the one place he knows might be safe.

Bobby was taken off the streets and put into the cartel as a foot soldier. He never wanted to be one but didn’t know how to get out. The one time he makes a move on Dorm ended with being turned down. However, he senses that, the man his boss was to meet was not who he really was has him scared, then grabbed by the one man he wanted he was frightened and pissed. Then he finds out the truth about Dorm and now he just wants to run. Then he meets Ernest and realizes he has two mates and they are both cops. Talk about a joke in the making.

Ernest knew for over two years that Dorm was his human mate, but what he had not expected was to find out that he had two. Bobby was a cute cat shifter with an amazing and tough attitude. Now he just had to find out how to make his mates see that they were meant to be. Well that and stay alive from a god from hell wanting Bobby dead. What could possibly go wrong?

You don’t get two sexy men but three in this amazing story and there is nothing better than that. You get feisty attitudes, hellhounds, lots of danger, near death experiences and some hot sex with these three gorgeous men. I loved the amount of danger that comes in this story. It made it even better for me.

I loved the way the characters just seem to mix with each other. That is actually a joke, because these three are at each other’s throats fighting their fears, well two of them are any way. Poor Ernest is just hanging on for life. Bobby comes off more real than anyone else. He thinks no one would want him because of the things he was forced to do. What he doesn’t understand is the past is exactly that the past. He is tender but full of anger and fear. He thinks that no one should want him. Bobby is perfect to his mates and they know that with their love and support that he will soon learn to trust them.

I would recommend reading this book to everyone who loves the paranormal world, dies to get their hands on shifters and vampires, love the protective side that they have for their mates, the excitement, action, and dangerous situations. This story, as most of Lynn’s books captured my attention the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It gave me everything that I could possibly want in a story and I cannot wait to read the next one in this amazing series.

Blurb: Romano Tiziano thought owning a landscaping company was better than the bodyguard work he used to do, but who knew shrubbery and lawn care would have him on the run? After witnessing a prominent lawyer being killed, Romano thinks that Pride Pack Valley is the safest place to run.

Memphis thinks that he can handle anything after being under Jackson’s thumb…until he meets Romano. The man is arrogant, stubborn, and Memphis is going insane trying to deal with the man. And to top that, his other mate, Tabby can’t seem to stay out of the tavern.

Tabby has landed in jail twice now for DUI. And he wasn’t even behind the wheel! After his second arrest, he finds one tall and dark stranger trying to bail him out…and take him home.

Can the three get their act together long enough to claim one another or will their differences and blinding ways make them part company?

Review: Romano is running for his life, trying to stay ahead of the people who want to silence him.   He turns to Pride Pack Valley and his cousin Dino, but what he finds there is not what he expected. Memphis knows that he can handle anything after being under Jackson’s thumb… until he meets Romano who is just as dominant as Jackson and Tabby who won’t put up with any crap. Tabby knows he isn’t a drunk but no one will believe him.   He’s had it with people telling him he is a drunk.  And now after finding he has two mates, one who’s a wolf and one who has hit-men after him.  he thinks that maybe they can solve all their problems.

This is quite a good story that has an interesting development. All three characters are interesting, Memphis thinking that he wasn’t affected by Jackson by in reality controlling everything he can and being dominant and a hard-ass when someone argues with him. Romano is also dominant, but he can compromise so it’s up to him to show Memphis where he is going wrong. Tabby is a man who even though he just might be submissive isn’t going to let anyone walk all over him and the sooner that Romano and Memphis understand that the better.

The story-line is quite good with Romano being chased by hit-men, Memphis discovering his flaws and the mystery of Tabby’s drunkenness. It makes for an interesting story, but there was a lot of horns locking as both Romano and Memphis acted like rams fighting for dominance. The one thing that I noticed was that there wasn’t that much background for any of the characters, especially Tabby, we get a brief background on Romano to explain why he’s running and we know that Memphis lived under Jackson’s thumb and we know that apparently Tabby was the town drunk, but that’s it.

So a good book, but sadly lacking in detail, so you find it difficult to relate with the characters. But the sex is scorching hot and Tabby is a little bit of a voyeur ;-). So I recommend this to those who love shifters, danger, mystery, hot sex and a happy ever after.
