Publisher's Summary

Two paths: one new, one familiar. And a burning desire to choose them both...

When Damon spots a stunning redhead on his plane, the pilot’s determined to get to know her better. It’s been a long time since he’s experienced an instant connection with anyone. The last time was with his former lover, who left without an explanation over five years ago, devastating him. Though cautious now, when it comes to relationships, MacKenzie just might be everything he’s looking for and more.

Not expecting to meet the tall, dark, and handsome captain on her flight home, Mac finds Damon’s domineering persistence a turn-on. She decides to take a chance on him, which, in the end, might be a mistake when a person from his past returns. A man Damon loved and still does. 

The last five years had been dark journey for Trevor, and he’s now ready to return to the light. He’s back in Boston to not only ask for forgiveness but to reconnect with Damon, since he still loves the man. 

However, there’s a complication. Damon is seeing someone else, and Trevor might be too late.

Note: This book in the series can be listened to as stand-alone. It includes an HEA ending. It is intended for audiences over 18 years of age since it includes MMF scenes between all three characters.

Heartfelt & Hot

Jeanne St. James did it again - hooked me on 3 character arcs that I just had to know from the opening sentences what was going to happen to these beautiful people and how they would get their Happily Ever After (HEA). This "Dare" series had me captured from book one and I'm so glad I stayed hooked for the ride. However, I was not expecting in this book was the heartfelt twists to Trevor's story & how integral Mack would be to helping Damon overcome their past. I felt so overwhelmed listening to their discussions of what Trevor put himself through and why. But Mack was a force of logic and heart, just what I'm looking for in the female leads, especially in a menage story.

What puts Ms. St. James books over the top is her fantastic choice of narrators! Ava Lucas is always top notch in both her caring and her steamy / sensual voice. The guys, Sean Crisden & J.F. Harding made me really connect with the male POV - it's always so moving when you can feel the pain the characters are experiencing when the narrators push the envelope in their performance. Great job & I'm leaving this in my library for future re-listening!

Loved it!

What a great way to s3nd the series! You get everthing you want . Damon and Mac meet on a plane and have chemistry the first time they meet. and when they finally get together it is off the charts good! Then comes Trevor and he and Damon used to be a couple. Can the three of them make it work? You will laugh , cry and say OMG during the steamy scenes. You are hooked from the very beginning.

Jeanne St. James knocks it out of the park with this one!! Narrators J.F. Harding, Sean Crisden, and Ava Lucas were spot on for each character!

My favourite in this series

In my opinion, this series gets better and better with each new release. This story is about pilot Damon, the beautiful MacKenzie (Mac) and Trevor, the man who broke Damon’s heart.

Narrated by Sean Crisden, Ava Lucas and JF Harding this was a captivating story that kept my attention throughout. They
all did a great job with the emotions and passions expressed by their respective characters and that really added to my enjoyment of this book.

Damon is attracted to a beautiful redhead who captures his attention on his flight, finally deciding that it is time he moved on, he cannot believe the connection he feels for Mac.
However just when things are finally going their way, Trevor, the man he loved with all his heart and soul suddenly returns.

What will this mean for the blossoming relationship between Mac and Damon? Will Damon be prepared to listen to Trevor’s explanation and find it in his heart to forgive him? Will Mac decide to withdraw from Damon?

The chemistry between all three of the characters was intense and overpowering and there were times I needed a fan to cool down. However, this is not just a hot and spicy book, it is a book that has depth and emotions and one that really got to me on numerous levels.

There were times that my heart just about broke reading this story. The pain and rejection that Damon felt when Trevor left him years ago, for all that Trevor went through, for Mac who might loose the man she has fallen hard for; it all makes for an emotional roller coaster of a read.

I really loved MacKenzie, her passion and her willingness to fight to have both men in her life was inspiring. She could easily have bowed out but her determination and strength of character was admirable and I was cheering for Damon, Mac and Trevor to get their happily ever after.

This book was well written, tugged at my heart strings and is perhaps my most favourite book in the series to date.

I want more of the series

I will miss all of these couples! Ava, J.F. and Sean were perfect fits. I loved every narrated word. Thank you Jeanne St. James!!

Very intense and steemy.

Loved it! Very intense story line that kept your interest. Hot and steamy at times. But an intense deep subject mixed in.

Great wrap up to the series

My feelings were conflicted about this read at first, at one point I found myself thinking it was really slow going and taking forever to get to the menage part. But at the same time, the slow start allowed for the deeper development of the characters and their relationship. I found that I quite liked it. I think was the most emotional of the series, but I still wish that more depth would have been given into the past of the guys' relationship as well as what Trev went through. I'm not sure if this one is my favorite of the series of it it's still book 5, but if it's not, it is surely my number two.

*Also, I'm still holding out hope that Gia gets her own threesome...

Mac and her men

It has been five long years since Damon has been in a relationship when he runs into Mac who reignites that feeling of passion for another person on one of his flights. Mac is a strong, independent woman who is not looking for anything but cannot deny that there is something pulling her towards Damon. All is going well until Trevor, a man from Damon’s past, shows up and throws a monkey wrench into the newly formed duo. Ms. St. James has written a dynamic storyline illustrating the challenges facing couples whether they are first building a relationship or trying to rekindle an old one made all the more delectable by these three narrators. The emotions that the author puts her characters through, will strike a chord with any listener and have him/her rooting for these people to come to a beneficial resolution for all involved. It is about learning to trust and opening oneself up to love. I volunteered to listen to a copy of this audiobook.

Deep story of healing, self discovery, & hotness!

Trevor, Damon, and Mac's story really grabbed me. It was a lot more deep than I was expecting. I was pleasantly surprised when a potential love triangle was transformed into healing journey of self discovery, open communication, and healing in a way that was emotional and cathartic. Excellent performances by all 3 narrators really made this an excellent audiobook! I really enjoyed listening and will probably do so again. I would definitely recommend. I think this is one of my favorites in the series.

A story of forgiveness and new discovery

To find one soulmate is wonderful, but too find two is amazing. What was even more amazing about this storyline was one is a returned reunited love from five years past and Ava, Sean and J.F. did an excellent job bringing these characters to life and telling us this story of discovery and new beginnings.

Great book

Amazing series, but Gia was hella annoying in every book she was in. A straight proper nosey as hell best friend and sister.

excellent

One of my favorites of the series. I didn't enjoy Mac as much as the other 2 but can't explain why. The drive her to car/safety discussion was too much eye rolling for me so that might be a cause. The Damon and Trevor storylines/angst were great.

Narration was excellent

Best characters of the series

Menage is one of my favorite tropes, but it's also one I think is done poorly many times. Not so with the Dare Menage Series. The sex scenes were HOT and not at all typical. Each story varies in the sex-to-story ratio, but they each give you the HEA you're expecting. This particular story was my favorite out of the series. The characters had more depth and caring interaction with each other. (Mostly about Trevor's situation.) I loved all three of them!

The audio version is narrated by the same narrators throughout the whole series. (Thank you!) They are some of the best, so you don't have to worry about getting turned off by their voices. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys menage stories. It is MMF, inter-racial (BM, WF, WM) with all three characters being comfortable and interested in bisexual/menage encounters without having to be "talked" into anything.

I was provided audio review copies of the entire Dare Menage series (YES!) by the author in exchange for honest reviews. Thank you Jeanne St. James!

Stunning

This story was just absolutely stunning. I loved the characters and the drama and just the whole situation. It wasn’t insta perfection there were problems and they had to work through them. There were so many hurdles for the characters to work through and it was a true journey. The narration helped in knowing how the characters were feeling and them working to a solution

Mac, Damon, & Trevor

Omgoodness I love everything from Jeanne St. James. This book kept my attention the entire time. This book is in a series so you get to hear about how characters are growing but it is a standalone, you do not need to read them all to know what’s happening. A wonderful story of love, dedication, open minds, and honesty. I love all the characters in this book. I love how the story unfolds and especially the HEA. The narration was great I definitely recommend this book.

🎧Audiobook Obsession

Loved this series!

How can you keep me engaged in a book? Have Jeanne St James write it. There is something about her writing style that I absolutely love. It keeps me coming back for more. This series has been a fantastic ride, and this final chapter in the series is amazing. Damon, a pilot spots the feisty red head, Mack on a his flight, but it's not the first time he has seen her. What a story that turns into! The attraction is mutual and he has finally found the spark he has been looking for. Trevor, his ex-boyfriend is back and after his own battles would like to try again. Now decisions are made, attractions palpable and lives melded together in a way that is caring and sensual. I can't say enough good things about St James in her ability to write a story. She can take a sensitive topic, like mental health and carefully weave it into her books. Not only do we get this trio learning their way together, but real life issues involved that also need tending and nurturing. I love this as it gives such a basis of authenticity to the developing relationships. Add in getting to see all of the past characters with their families and enjoy learning where they are now it's just a treat! I have really enjoyed getting to know them all!

As always, St James is careful with her choices of narrating teams, and picks the best voices for her books. This team is amazing. Sean Crisden, Ava Lucas and JF Harding know how to filter down onto their characters and find the essence of their personalities. It's an incredible listen.
