It turns out my two new bosses, who I had a sexy as sin threesome with last night are my soon-to-be new stepbrothers...and that isn't the worst of my problems.

JAYNE MICHAELS

I have a secret.
I'm being blackmailed—by my own mother.
I have six weeks left, then I'm free.

When I turn twenty-five, the caveat in my father's last will and testament will be satisfied and my mother will no longer be in control of my life.

I just need to hold on a little longer. Keep my head down and my business to myself—then I'll be free.

And that's exactly the moment I cross paths with Declan and Lucas, my new and dominant bosses.

DECLAN AND LUCAS HALE

We have a secret.
The woman who just came to work for us is the daughter of our father's new gold-digging girlfriend.
She doesn't know who we are.

The more time we spend around her trying to find out the truth about her narcissistic mother, the more we realize she isn't who we thought she would be.

We've gotten too close, and there's no pulling back from Jayne's orbit. The more we learn, the more we realize we aren't the only ones keeping secrets.

And it feels like time is running out.

Controlling Interests is a full-length standalone why choose, reverse harem office romance. Read if you enjoy dominant bosses, discipline / punishments, and plenty of spicy romance.

From the Back Cover

When Jayne takes a new job, she has her eyes on one prize but her two dominant bosses have decided they want something of their own—her—and it could cost her everything.
JAYNE MICHAELS
According to my father's will, I take possession of our family beach house on my 25th birthday. Until then, it sits in a trust, managed by my mother who dangles it in front of me every time she needs something from me. For the past five years, she's used me as her puppet, but that's about to end. I have six short weeks to toe the line then the only thing I've ever wanted becomes mine and I'm free.
Then they come into the picture; two men—brothers—my new sexy and controlling bosses, offering me a life I never imagined I could have, but at what cost?
DECLAN AND LUCAS HALE
Our father is living with a narcissistic gold digger and her daughter just came to work for us. She doesn't know who we are, but we know who she is and we'll use her to find out what we need to know about her mother.
Our plans change when she walks into our office. She's everything we want and we're more than willing to share. Her little straight and narrow life is about to take a detour because we're in the driver's seat and we're taking control.
She thinks she knows where her comfort zone ends...she's about to find out how very wrong she is.

This is a fantastic debut book by Luna Kayne
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2018

This is a fantastic debut book by Luna Kayne! The characters, the story, the romance, everything is amazing. I swear this book gets better the more I read it.

Jayne is just trying to get to her 25th birthday, she dreams of owning her family beach house, however her mother has other plans. Side note: Jayne's mother is probably the most hated character in any book I have read. I can't stand her. Jayne meets Lucas and Declan, who are brothers, and the three of them begin a relationship.

The development of all the characters is amazing, along with the story itself. There are some pretty steamy BDSM scenes in the book, but its not the main focus, which I absolutely love. You can feel the the chemistry between Jayne, Lucas and Declan. There is truly love between the three of them.

I find myself wanting more of all the characters, okay maybe not Jayne's controlling mother. I want to know more about what happens in Jayne, Declan and Lucas' lives. I can't recommend this story enough to anyone who loves erotic romance stories that will make you feel all sorts of emotions while reading.

I look forward to more books by Luna Kayne in the future!

Unorthodox, but sweet and loving

Not what I expected it but it was worth the read. Jayne is so relatable and adorable and just sucks you right in. Which makes sense why she snarled these two dominating men. Lucas and Declan sounds on control so it made me wonder how their arrangement would work. I'm glad they were able to work it out and love the little surprise at the end.

I wish there was an epilogue to gives us a glimpse of what would have happened. Imagine Jayne with fraternal twins each having their own dad. That's would of been something.

Thanks for the read!!!

Happy readings😊

I have yet to find a book by this author that I can give anything less than five stars to. She does so well with angst, a pinch of humor and banter amongst the characters, and the spice is spicing...the book was no exception, and I'm so glad I finally read it. The fmc was very sweet and still had some sassiness, and the two mmcs really complimented one another.

Good Story, But Controlling Leads
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2021
Verified Purchase
I found the beginning of the book to be pretty good. But once the three of them got together, I felt like the two male leafs, Declan and Lucas, were EXTREMELY controlling of Jayne. That really showed up when they were "interrogating" Jayne while she was tied up and naked and they wouldn't even let her have her "comfort blanket." Everyone deserves privacy, you don't have to tell someone every little thing about you, then when they kept a secret from Jayne I was just as furious, she's not allowed any secrets, but they are?

Another thing that pointed out they were not the beat of guys and controlling is that when they had sex, they were controlling her even then. They would deny her her wants and only care about them it seemed and would make her beg for her orgasm.

Overall, I think there needed to be more story and less sex scenes. Yes, I do enjoy a good sex scene, but this just seemed to have too many, too close together. In the end, I came away feeling like the lead guys were more obsessed over the fact they found someone so innocent and trusting and not like they actually loved her, although I know we're supposed to believe they love her.

This can't be a debut.
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2017
Verified Purchase
I couldn't tell this was the first book by a debut author. From the first page, I was hooked and drawn in. I immediately identified with Jayne I'll try not to spoil anything. But all women have trouble with their mothers, some more than others. I feel like a lot of romance misses that dynamic and how it shapes us. But Luna hit it spot on. Maybe, I'm reading to much into it, but it was one of my favorite parts of the book. I digress from my review though.

The setup for the two heroes read as natural. It felt like she should be in that office and had a reason to be there. Not just a setup for an office romance novel. The dialogue throughout the book read clean and believable. These characters could be working in an office building somewhere, for all I know. That's how real they read. I worried about how the relationship would play out with the dynamics, but in no part of this book did I feel like the two leading men were taking advantage of a situation. The scenes were hot and the story was strong. Well done Luna Kayne!

Great Fun
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2017

This is a first novel written by a new author, so there are a few minor issues. The opening of the book falters a little bit. So does the flow of the prose. BUT. This writer's story telling instinct is 1000% dead on. So is characterization. Goals are clear. Conflict is clear. The plot is solid. For a split second, I had concerns about the set up of the relationship, because what's not creepy about a pair of CEOs telling an assistant they want her? And then all that concern evaporated because these guys treated the heroine with such respect - saying up front that saying 'no' had no consequences - they'd go away and she'd still be employed, etc. It was refreshing. The sex scenes were equally well-drawn. So I agree with other reviewers. This is a romp. Hot, fun and an all around good read if you like ménage BDSM stories. I'm really looking forward to watching this author's development.

Great characters and great story. A few tears as some scenes are touching or a little tough, and OMG the STEAM. So well crafted. If you like hot and spicy with a bonus evil villain, this should be your next read. I would have liked one thing to be different - a silver thing re-created in gold or platinum for the final gift would have been a great touch IMHO.

I first came across this book on the app Radish were I was able to read the first 20 chapters of the story for free. And it got me hooked to it from the very first chapter.
I just had to buy it and continue reading ASAP. I absolutely love the plot the turnes and all of the characters! Well except for Evelyn of course. But I do feel pity for her that she must have felt so unloved of her birth family and then also of her ex-husband and Jayne's dad to turn into such a cold person and also around her daughter.
The writing style was really interesting! I for one am actually not reading a lot of actually published books in english because it's not my first language.
I do love the language though! But what I was actually trying to say is I loved how we got to learn about the characters by seeing different situations out of their P.O.V.
I'm just debating if I would have liked to have the chance to learn more about the people around Declan & Lucas and Jayne or not since the story is about them.

Whether it would have been like that or not I enjoyed reading this story and hopefully I'll read more of Luna Kayne's stories!

Highly erotic with a great story line
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 17, 2018
Verified Purchase
A very polished and interesting first novel that brillently combines the highest level of eroticism with a gripping story line. The detail in the erotic scenes is both sensitive and arousing. The story thread holds everything together extremely well and benefits from a dramatic climax ( no pun intended😊). Writing style is flowing and intelligent. This was the first time I have read her work but certainly won't be the last!. A few typos but minor ones and certainly a lot better than many long standing authors published by major publishing houses. ( Typos are my big bugbear, I have to wonder if electronic scanning has replaced the skill of the proof reader to the great detriment of writing).

This is a different genre for me. I was impressed by the quality and class of the writing. A sensuous and stimulating atmosphere was created in the sex scenes, tinged with suspense. I loved that a lot more than I thought I would! I also thought the plot was worthy of a thriller. Excellent and enjoyable read.
