Beyond Eden (Eden #1) by Kele Moon

Genre - Menage, BDSM

Summary - Three lifelong friends find themselves tangled in a web of love, pain and dangerous secrets in this erotic Garden of Eden tale.

Tall, dark and handsome Danny Carlow has always gotten whatever he wants except for the two he wants more than anything-his best friends, lovers Paul and Eve. Determined, he waits like a snake in the grass, poised for the right moment to offer them a temptation too delicious to resist.

Artist Eve Everton makes the painful decision to leave her true love Paul for the siren call of New York City. Ten years later, with her life in shambles, she returns. When Paul's waiting arms aren't available, Eve falls for Danny's charm and finds herself a willing accomplice in the dangerous games Danny plays.

Former college football star Paul Mattling is now a successful attorney with a bright future ahead of him. But behind those brilliant blue eyes are secret desires for a taste of the forbidden. Will he play it safe or give in to Danny and Eve and bite the apple?

Reader Advisory: Not for the faint of heart, the pain in this story is vivid and real, the emotions even more so. Haunting and poignant, Beyond Eden presents a darker side of BDSM. You might gasp. You might cry. You might find yourself reading it again and again.

My Rating - 3stars

My Review - This book was really interesting with deep and complex characters. The M/M action was hot as Hades!! I really felt the threesome worked and was well done.

The pacing was a bit of a problem for me. It really dragged through much of the book. And then the end seemed to be sped up. I would have skipped much of the book and expanded the last ten percent.

It had points where the BDSM was a bit uncomfortable, I bit darker than I usually enjoy. It was also a really emotional read. Keep tissues close!

Word is this is the start of a series. I would be interested in giving the next book a try.

Cover art - Sexy and really eye-catching!
