Come Together: A British Rockstar MMF Ménage Romance (English Edition) eBook : Ellis, Madelynne: Amazon.de: Kindle-Shop
This book is false advertising. It’s a freaking love triangle for
roughly 330 of the 400 pages. The female main character I disliked
immensely.
But let’s start at the beginning.
Dani has a messed up religiousness upbringing and a shitload of
hang-ups about sexuality and her own body. Xane is a rock star god
and sex-addict. They’re clearly a match made in hell. Because she
has nowhere to go and no money after she leaves her crazy mother, she
jumps on the chance to tour with her new hot boyfriend Xane. Things
are going okay at first, but then she meats Luther who unashamedly
tells her he has the hots for Xane. What Dane doesn’t know is that
Xane also has the hots for pretty roadie and drummer Luther. They
hooked up once three years ago and it blew Luther’s mind. He fell
in love and now he wants that man in his life. The only problem is of
course that Xane has a girlfriend now, tries to be monogamous –
it’s not going as well as Xane would have hopped. It doesn’t help
that Xanes best friend, former lover and drummer of their band died
recently. Xane is a messed up character. Dani makes it worse by being
bi/homophobic little asshole.
As all of them share one tourbus and are constantly in each other’s
spaces it’s hard to not give into temptation. Xane tries to
suppress his lust for men for Dani, Dani tries to bind him to her
with sex and Luther just tries to get Xane into bed, but wouldn’t
mind if Dani was there with them too. Luther is pretty chill, and by
far my favourite character. Even although he’s a stubborn, pushy
bastard. At least he’s not lying to himself or Xane and Dani.
Oh, and there is also someone who is constantly sabotaging the band.
This was a tedious read. Also so much fucking sex. Most of it F/M.
And I don’t hate M/F romance/erotica, but this… basically every
fucking chapter. If the author cut at least half of it the book would
be 100 pages shorter.
As said before it’s not a menage, it’s a love triangle for 330 or
more pages. Xane is fucking Dani, and lusting
after/kissing/rubbing/touching Luther. Also getting off to thoughts
of him while the man is in the same communal shower…
Dani gets
all huffy and pissy every time someone so much as mentions Xane’s
past male conquests and his bisexuality. She wants him to never look
at or desire a man ever again, because she has the fear he’ll leave
her for a man. Girl if he leaves you, it’s because you’re a
fucking bi-phobic nutcase.
Xane is a mess because his best friend died, his band is kinda
falling apart, his girlfriend is…see above, and he fights the
attraction to pretty drummer Luther. Also: sex-addiction.
There is also this subplot with Dani’s friend and the band’s
guitar player, because of course. And that subplot about someone
having it out for the band. Also this minor thing where they look for
a replacement for their late drummer.
Somewhere around page 350/360 Xane, Dani and Luther end up in bed and
magically Dani thinks it’s hot when the guys touch and fuck each
other. Where is the fucking character development?! And then we get
an epilogue that’s just ten pages of porn and Dani being
apprehensive about seeing Luther again after their break and being a
mess because she’s back to being her bi-phobic self.
I hated this book. It took me two weeks to finish it. It’s also the
second one in a three part series about Xane and his love-life.
Needless to say I won’t read anything form this series.
I have to give it to the author: the writing is good, the editing
too.
But it’s too long, too much het sex, too many subplots and
unlikable female character, so nope.
Ca 400 pages.
Taste:
Dani would be distraught. He’d destroy her with this. He’d turn her into
a clone of her lunatic mother.
“Stop. Enough. We can’t … I can’t.”
Luthor hooked a leg around Xane’s and rolled them both over, so that he
lay on top.
“You’re one hell of a tease, Xane Geist.”
“I’m not teasing.”
Xane wetted his lips, turning the piercing through the bottom one. “I
can’t hurt her like this. If she wasn’t involved, then yes, God, yes …
but she is … If you care at all about her, as you claim, you won’t do
this either.”
“I’ll share,” Luthor mumbled as his mouth descended upon
Xane again. Their tongues clashed. It was impossible not to respond. He
was hard, so hard and aching for release. He wanted to fuck this man.
Wanted to relive the memories they shared and just live in the moment
for a while. The last few months of his life had been crazy and intense.
His whole world had fallen apart, and, though he’d tried to piece it
back together, there were still bits of himself that seemed to be
missing. He was still so angry over everything that had happened. It was
all so raw, too tender to touch. He wanted to fuck and forget, but not
with Dani. He didn’t want their relationship to be about anyone but
them. No way would he allow Spook or Rock Giant to be right. Using Dani
wasn’t an option. Theirs wasn’t a rebound relationship, it was the real
deal. He wanted to be with her for the rest of his life. And he was a
fool, because, even as he was thinking that, he was incredibly close to
doing the one thing that would destroy them for ever. He laughed. Who
was he kidding? He was already doing it.
