- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Xander was the most interesting character throughout this series, but this book has failed him as a character.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Too weird for me.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Hot, hot, hot and scalding hot. The story was very touching and the relationship between Javier, Xander and London was a great thing to see developing. The points that I didn't like was the whole "I'm in love" after five freaking days. And Javier was an incredible jerk. I only started liking him by the end of the book and that was by default because I loved Xander and London together so much.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The same formula as the other's in the series, gorgeous men, hot sex, rabid killer. In other words, a good time was had by all.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Well we finally get Xander's story and boy is it a good one. I would never have thought that Xander would settle down with anyone but to find that special person and share her with his brother makes a great happily ever after. We know from BELONG TO ME and MINE TO HOLD that Xander has been trying to save his brother from drinking himself to death. I have liked Xander. I know a lot of people would write him off as a jet setting playboy with no real substance but he has a heart. He is a caring and compassionate person that just needs to fell wanted and needed. He also is courageous and very loyal to his friends and family. I loved that London McLean threw him for a loop and opened his eyes to what he had been searching for with all the women that he has taken to bed, or against a wall or on a table. We get a great deal of insight into Xander and why is the way he is.We also finally meet Javier Santiago. He has been drowning in regret and anger for a year with no end in sight. His wife was murdered and there have been few clues as to why she died. He is about to lose his company and his brother. London is the balm for his wounded soul. She makes him want to be a better man. He sees her potential and wants to bring it out and build her confidence. He also wants to make love to over and over. Javier is also a loyal and caring person. He is a good judge of character expect for his brother. He doesn't see until almost the end of the book that Xander is just trying to get his attention. Javier is also driven to succeed and it is slowing killing him because he has to always be in control of everything in the business. Stress, guilt and anger are a destructive combination. I am glad that he found his inter-Dom and a reason to make himself a better man.London is a virgin that wants to experience life to its fullest. She was in an automobile accident when she was a sophomore in high school. Her injuries were several and there was a chance she would never walk again. With determination and courage she is not only walking she is working at a job and dealing with two very Dominate males. London is tough and strong willed. She may be a submissive but she is also not going to let Xander and Javier run over her. I was glad that she found the courage to show the guys her back. She needed to overcome the hurt that came from a former rejection.The villain in this story is a scientist that is out for revenge and he doesn’t care who he has killed as long as Javier suffers for it. He is one of those people that need to be put in a deep dark hole and never let out. What he gets is much less than he deserves.We get to see more of Luc and Alyssa in this story, since Alyssa is London’s cousin. It is nice to see that these two are still together and doing so well. We also find out that Logan is considering leaving the SEALS, I will let you find out why. This is a wonderful story overall and I highly recommend to all those that like the Domination/submission stories. There is some edge play, spanking, plugs, bondage and public displays for arousal throughout this story. There isn't any m/m sexual interaction between the brother.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Review courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales.Quick & Dirty: Does one woman have a heart big enough for an alcoholic grief-stricken widower and a playboy allowing three hearts to mend or will fear rule the day?Opening Sentence: After warming up the submissive’s curvy, feminine ass with his hand, Xander Santiago cast her a discerning eye.The Review:This book is not for the faint of heart. There are two very strong Doms, each one with his own issues. An alcoholic consumed with the death of his wife, Francesca, and a playboy that has never considered himself part of anything larger than the last relationship that lasted maybe 2 hours. Both men are large personalities and yet they compliment each other as siblings often do in their own unique way.Xander has watched Javier self destruct over the past year following the death of his wife and the knowledge that she cheated on him. This is compounded by the lingering anger that Javier has for Xander in not taking Francesca on as a submissive with the hope of reigning her behavior back under control.Meanwhile, Xander has had more affairs and spent more time spending the family money but never felt that he could take an active part in the family business. In part because every olive branch handed out was thrown in his face by his determined brother.The third portion of this triangle is the innocent and scarred London. She is a woman with all sorts of baggage but little to no experience with men much less two doms and their expectations in this relationship.What amazed me most is the level of sharing that was reached by all three of these willing participants. The fact that you have two doms not just sharing but actively cooperating, when up to the entrance of London into their lives they couldn’t be in the same room with out telling the other to get lost. This speaks much to the large role that London has in placating and soothing both men in her way.This story revolves around these three characters much like a horse on a carousel at a park. Each one is part of a bigger picture but each contains their own character and story to tell. London is such a dynamic character to go from innocent to submissive to two doms and yet she retains her scars that play an active role in her journey. Xander’s journey is more of a river running deep because he must learn that being valued for oneself is not only to be sought but prized. Javier’s path is littered with guilt, alcoholism and search for perfection that he can never obtain while seeking to bear all the burdens alone.This story is not for everyone not just due to its graphic nature or even the bdsm that it contains but also from the depth of heartache that each of our three leads is caring with them on a daily basis. Each one has just decided to cope differently but through the care and trust of each other they start to realize that their fears can be overcome and happiness might even be obtained for them all.This is the type of book that I recommend but with stipulations. If you are comfortable with bdsm, threesomes and erotic fiction then I humbly believe you will think your time and money is well spent. However if you have any qualms about any one of those three or you just aren’t sure then I would say try another book. You will be much happier for it.Notable Scene:Xander wondered what it would be like to love someone enough to want to put a ring on her finger and plant a seed in her womb. He shrugged. Not that it mattered. He didn’t see that happening, ever.Javier watched Morgan, too. His express held a gravity, a sadness…longing. Not for Morgan herself, but what she represented. Home, hearth, love, devotion. Forever.And maybe, Xander mused, he needed to get laid again. Or fuck someone more interesting. That wouldn’t make his problems go away, but it damn sure would help him forget for a while.As soon as Morgan drove off, Javier turned to him. With a narrow-eyed glare that dared him to object, he took a long draw from the bottle of Ciroc.FTC Advisory: Berkley/Penguin provided me with a copy of Ours to Love. No goody bags, sponsorships, “material connections,” or bribes were exchanged for my review.
