Publisher's summary

After walking away from her toxic boyfriend, Wren finds herself lonely and wondering if good men only exist in fiction. But at a Valentine's Day masquerade ball, she spots them—the three men who meet every week at the coffee shop she works at. The ones who've always looked at her like she's the most interesting thing on the whole planet. She figures they won't recognize her, but there's no way they couldn't—not when they all feel pulled to her in a way they never have before.

While she's planning on enjoying herself at the ball before going home to her empty bed, these three men have different plans. They each steal a dance with her, and by the end of the night, they're all left to face the one truth they've been avoiding: Not a single one of them can resist her. And now, they may not have to.

Blissful Masquerade is the first book in the Ruthless Desires series. It's a dark MMMF polyamorous/why-choose romance novella that contains a lot of heat, some kink, swearing, and violence.

Incredible why choose dark romance.

I’ve absolutely devoured every book in this series and listening to the first book in audio format just reminded me of how Fanta this series is. Elira masterfully adds is small details that may seem insignificant but really bring these characters to life and make them and their relationship feel realistic. The narrators do an excellent job of bringing these characters to life and drawing you into the story. The male narrators voice is deep and rich and everything I didn’t know I needed in the audio book. The female narrator’s tone and inflection for Wren are impeccable. I truly cannot recommend this book and this entire series enough.

Spicy erotic why choose, unexpected plot!

4.5 stars, it owns what it is, which is a spicy erotic novella (be sure to check your TW/CW, as it is also pretty dark). While is is most definitely an erotic, why choose romance, with the primary focus on the chemistry and physical relationship between the four characters, I found myself surprised as the way the story way laid down to continue on for these characters with a more robust and intriguing plot. Wren is just out of a pretty toxic relationship, and feeling pretty low. When she can’t get out of going to a Valentine’s Day masquerade, she decides to make the most of it and try to have fun. But things take a turn for the unexpected with three men who she’s seen at her coffee shop and been a little flirty with over time show up at the masquerade as well, and one of them makes a move and asks her to come home with him. What Wren assumes will be a hot one night stand becomes oh so much more when all three men join in, and after a weekend of pleasure, none of them is willing to walk away. I found this most intriguing in that we get this very heavy physical relationship built between them very quickly. It’s made clear that these men were interested in her from afar for a while, but she was in a relationship, so as soon as they had an opportunity they jumped on it. And as they spend more time together, there is clearly more between them, but their mysterious life and work seems to be a point of contention for them as they struggle with wanting to bring Wren into their world. The three men, Elliot, Oliver, and Rhett, each have their own personalities to bring to the mix, which adds to a very interesting dynamic, in and out of the bedroom, and there is even some very intriguing dynamics between them as well. I love that this sets up a series of novellas. I found the characters were fleshed out enough to make me want more, and I’m looking forward to seeing where their story goes from here.

The narration, with Ruthie Bowles and Corvin King, is excellent. I would absolutely recommend this as an audiobook, as the depth and layers it added, the emotions and goosebumps that were induced, were just delicious.

Incredible telling of this story

I have read this book twice before and this was my first time listening to an audiobook! The narrators truly bring the story to life and made me feel ALL the feels *winks*
I do wish the voice of Wren was Wren's voice during the guys narration, and the guy's voices were the guys during Wren's narration. But, I still think the use of 2 voices overall was a great choice. Great work, definitely worth the listen, and I will DEFINITELY listen to the rest of the series as it comes to life.

Great duet narration

The narration was fantastic. Both narrators did a fantastic job. I would recommend this book if you want a short sexy book.

Great intro to this series

I had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook, and it was amazing! The author is brilliant, the characters are relatable and without much description which was different for me but a lot of fun. The narrators were easy to listen to. Overall, I really enjoyed this audio. Can’t wait to read the rest of this series!

A great beginning to a dark, MMMF, romance series

Prior to listening to this audiobook, I read the book twice and all of the published books that follow in the series. So—I listened to this as an established fan! To me, this book feels like a prequel that really sets up the rest of the series. I love the relationship that begins between our MC’s. The men always ask for consent and it is sooooo sexy. And the spice 🥵
At first, it was a little difficult to get into the audio because I already had an idea in my head of how the characters should sound. However, I grew to enjoy the narrators! If you like “why choose” where the men enjoy each other, too, you should check this one out! Thank you to Elira Firethorn for the review copy!

Very wonderful!

I found this story super adorable and spicy. I was cheesing for a lot of it and then fanning myself for a lot of it lol. Toward the end there’s a part that just filled me with joy and I laughed so hard. This was well narrated! Ruthie and Corvin make a great team!!

These boys are EVERYTHING

One male narrator did a great job with three men. I was very impressed that he was able to differentiate between the main characters.

The only reason I'm rating the story a 4 instead of 5 is that I've read the 5th book recently and it is easily the best one yet! If you like spice, great representation of mental health, and beautiful loving men, then this is for you!

Love Love Love!!

I absolutely love these books! The narration was amazing and brought the characters to life! I love this story and the men in it. I will never get enough of Oliver, Rhett, and Elliot. The relationship in this story fills my heart with joy and I love it so much! (consent is very hot) if you like smutty romances with murder you'll love this series! The audiobook is also fantastic and the narration chills me to the bone!
