ASHTON

If money makes the world go round, then the real estate market in New York is the engine that keeps the planet spinning. As one of Manhattan’s elite realty agents, it’s my job to wine, dine and do whatever it takes to close the deal. Yes sir, I act the part and look the part. Designer suit… immaculate. Hair… precision. Body… perfection. Well, maybe not quite, but I’m not about to let anyone know the flaw in this outwardly flawless power single.

So when my secret chink-in-the-armor begins to show, I’ll do whatever I need to protect myself, especially when it comes to putting Jax Lockhart — the newest, slickest, sexiest agent at Vanquest Realty — in his place. With the help of my assistant Bailey, I’ll do what it takes to bring Jax down. The last thing I was ever expecting was to fall for the enemy… and my assistant Bailey too!

BAILEY

Without any possible rhyme or reason, I’ve been in love with my boss Ashton since the day I started working for him. I have no idea what this irresistible attraction is, especially when he’s the total opposite of me! He’s filthy rich and handsome beyond words, possessing the kind of confidence, ambition and uber-success that I could never match… or even want to match. That’s okay, I have no problems pining over him from afar while I live my quiet little life, looking after my Grammy and scraping together enough to pay the bills.

But then one day Jax Lockhart walks into the offices of Vanquest Realty… the very same Jax Lockhart I’d fallen head over heels in love with at the orphanage where we’d both grown up. Now what was I to do? Continue dreaming about the boss I could never have? Or rekindle the flame that two kids shared a lifetime ago? I’m tempted to keep both of my secret crushes a secret… until I find out that both Ashton and Jax each have secrets of their own.

HEARTLESS is an enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract, hurt/comfort standalone 50k MMM romance, with steam, swoon and secrets galore. After all, love works in mysterious ways!

    I was left gobsmacked (punch in the gut) and with tears after finishing this story! I was not expecting the twist at the end and I am still reeling from the impact while writing this review! I did not think Robin Knight could write anything so GOOD after the ending of the Fathom Five’s series which I hold so dear to my heart! I was proven wrong with this one. I have such admiration for Robin with his writing style and how he pulls me into the scene! Definitely gay hallmark worthy of a tv movie or movie (if one needs to throw in the hot scenes). Also imagine “The Devil wears Brioni in the Real Estate Scene”. The M/M/M trope is one of my favorite trope and this one had it which made it wonderful! However, I’ll say this…one MC certainly made me want to swatch the back of his head for his attitude/behavior while the other 2 MCs are just so endearing!!!! This book definitely deserves more than the allocated 5 stars from me!

    The story focuses on Ashton, one of the top real estate agent in Manhattan who is swoony worth but has to win at all cost, due to his past. He has an assistant named Bailey who he likes to use, belittle, and run ragged to get what he wanted. That day, Ashton was on way to work when he nearly collided with the city bus and was taken to the hospital.

    Bailey is the sweet assistant with a past and he has been pining after Ashton despite the mean actions he would receive. That day, it was Ashton’s birthday and Bailey’s grandmother made a terrarium to give to Ashton. He brought it and left it on Ashton’s desk when he found out that Ashton was in an accident and headed to the hospital. Before he went to the hospital, he heard that a new guy named Jax was recently hired and the CEO wanted Ashton to take him under his wing and train him. Bailey knew Ashton wasn’t gonna take that. At the same time, Bailey wondered if Jax was the same guy he knew from his past.

    Jax had started a new job and was excited. When Ashton came to the office from the hospital, he was so livid when the CEO told Ashton he’s pairing him with Jax. Jax being the laidback guy was quietly provoking Ashton and jabbing him. This got Ashton so mad that he got so lightheaded and was going crazy removing bandages off his hand. This caused some serious bleeding. Ashton fainted so Jax picked him up and told Bailey to go with him to the hospital.

    At this point, some of the MCs’ past are being chipped in the process. That’s where I’m going to stop and have you pick up the book and read to find out what happens and why I was crying and gobsmacked! Such a wonderful reading!!!!

    So of all the things that could have happened I was expecting that. A beautiful story of love and second chances. Bailey, Ashton and Jax really were great together. Learning to love from each other. If romance and second chances is what you enjoy then this book is for you. Everyone needs a knight in shining armour and someone looking out for them. Love always wins in the end!

    I don’t know why but that was truly an unexpected twist to me. I enjoyed it. Some details felt rushed and I would have like more spice but all in all that was an interesting read.

    This is a new to me author - I would have probably given this book a 3.5-star review if I was able to do so here. Overall - the book delivers what it promised - an MMM romance where there is a bit of mystery, some conflict, and a HEA. I wasn't disappointed in that at all. It was a nice, easy read that was enjoyable and a relatively quick read for me. But I freely admit to being a faster reader than some.

    I liked Ashton, Bailey, and Jax - I thought that they were characters that while I had a bit of an issue connecting with them at times were developed and portrayed well. I did struggle a bit with the fact that this was a Dual-POV book but it was an MMM romance. Jax didn't get his own chapters so I did feel like we didn't get into his head. If it had been a three-POV book - I might have connected with him a bit more.

    There were some other issues with believability in certain scenarios - to avoid spoilers I will just say there were medical things I questioned as well as some things with the orphanage that I struggled with. But we suspend disbelief all the time in books - so while they bothered me - it didn't make me stop reading or completely take me out of the book.

    To summarize - Heartless was an easy read, with a few bumps in the road the three MC's get
    their ending. I think that if you want a fun read, or are newer to MMM+ books - this could be what you are looking for.

    I received an ARC from GRR and this was my honest review.

    OMG! I loved this book. Ashton, Bailey and Jax were all such different personalities, but it worked. Read the book blurb and you have the basics of the book, but the unexpected is definitely there. I started to wonder about half way through the book, and my prediction was correct, don’t know how, but I get why, but the tears flowed when I was right. Hated the ending but it was the right one, the one that had to be. Don’t want to even give hints, it’s too good, so let it just flow and develop naturally. This book has definitely moved onto my list of favorites— couldn’t put it down. I would give 10 stars if possible. It isn’t heart-less, it’s heart-full.

    I went into this story thinking I knew what I was getting into. MMM? Great! I was expecting two high powered businessmen falling in love with their sweet, submissive assistant. This is NOT that story! I was not expecting the paranormal twist but I audibly gasped when I read it. Ashton is a super wealthy real estate agent to the elite. He has been conditioned by his late father to anything less that achieving at the highest level is unacceptable, even though it means damaging his transplanted heart. He is so focused on the next big deal that he doesn't realize that his assistant, Bailey is in love with him. Bailey is an orphan that was rescued from a local orphanage and adopted into a loving home. Sadly it meant leaving behind Jax, his first love. Out of the blue, Jax shows up as the new, hot shot agent eager to worm his way into Ashton and Bailey's world. Ashton knows something is not right with Jax but he has no idea how not right it is! I won't reveal any spoilers here but just be sure to have some Kleenex to go along with the last part of the book.

    Ashton is a high rolling realtor dealing in exorbitant priced sales. Overly confident and arrogant, a total snob to everyone else in the office, especially Bailey, his sweet PA. But, he has a secret, a weakness he's desperate to hide. Then along comes Jax. This is a wonderful story where truths are told and lessons are learned. And prepare yourself for the huge twist near the end.

    I had no idea what this was about going in apart from it being about Ashton a top real estate and his assistant Bailey. It was so much more though, it was about finding one’s true passion in life, letting go of the past, healing there’s a sprinkle of something extra also. The last 10% had me in tears. Great story.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing idea that didn’t quite come together for me
    Reviewed in Canada on July 31, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I have a hard time with books when I don’t like the MCs. It was pretty clear that Ashton was supposed to come across as a spoiled workaholic so there’d be room for growth, but it felt like this went on for a really long time, and adding in sex as a manipulation and deal closer just made him even less likeable to me. It was hard to pin down Jax, who I mostly found inexplicable; but he too uses sex to manipulate Bailey when he doesn’t want to answer questions. Bailey is meek and mild most of the time (and not treated very well by Ashton). He’s generally kind and thoughtful, and I like him best, even though I wanted better for him. But even he wishes that he could pick up drunk Ashton because then maybe something might happen between them, and when Ashton is high off his head on hospital meds and coming on to Bailey, Bailey doesn’t consider saying no because actual consent is important. (He says no for other reasons, but never once does it cross his mind that this would be taking advantage of someone whose consent is impaired.) All of that made me really uncomfortable, but these are my hang-ups about sex and consent, and I’m sure others could read it very differently.

    I fully embrace the idea of figuring out what is important in life. Ashton’s life at the beginning definitely doesn’t appeal to me at all, but it’s what he’s used to, and he seems to like it. I guess we’re supposed to see that it was all his meaningless attempt to prove himself, but going from that lifestyle to his new one is very extreme, and there’s no discussion or suggestion he might need to adjust or get ready for this change. (I’m also really unclear on the mechanics of this final decision. The way I understood it, every penny went to the land. What money is being used to run everything?)

    Silly pet peeves: Pouring multiple full tumblers of whisky and gulping those down like they’re nothing. A rundown orphanage barely hanging on … and yet keeping immaculate records of the orphans not just while they’re there but continuing to record events after they left. I’m just not buying it. And can you hit someone hard enough to stop their heart? Especially when you were planning to hit a child, someone else gets in the way and ducks and then you hit the person behind them? With literal heart-stopping force??

    When Ashton, Bailey, and Jax were actually working together for a common cause, I enjoyed it. Trying to be better and different is hard, and I admire them for working on that. I feel like we got told that told that they cared for one another but didn’t have much opportunity to see feelings actually grow. I think I brought a lot of real world expectations to the book but found it had a bit of a “fairy tale” feel that kept confusing me … until I got to the end, and then everything made a lot more sense—but I’d spent most of the book reading it like it was something else. I liked the symbolism of the wings. I always want the MCs to be happy, and I do feel like the end is a much better life than the ones they started with. I love that we get to this point where they want to help others and make a real difference.

    I received an ARC from GRR. This is my honest review.

    4.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 Stars A fast paced love story with a differance.
    Reviewed in Australia on August 14, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Heartless was a book with a difference that the author wrote. I definitely liked the second half better in this entwing story with all its characters.
    Ashton, 28 years, was a top reality salesman in Manhattan until an accident happened.
    Bailey was Ashton's assistant. The company expected a new employee, Jax to start working with them. Bailey and Jax had a history together from their younger years.
    What happens next is a fast-mixed tale where Jax makes his presents known between them.
    Jax and Ashton are team members or rivals, bringing heat to the story but theirs also Bailey in the equation. Bailey and Ashton just had a working relationship until Cyclone Jax turned up.
    Enemies to lovers, second chances, fast paced, insta-connection, a huge twist ending.
    Trigger warning of past and current child abuse included.

    Thoughts: Okay so I had mixed feelings at the start of the book as it was too rushed, hmm I don't know what to write without giving away spoilers, so I won't, but I'll say this is not a true-to-life novel the author has written.
    The ending of this book is a doozy that left me speechless with what happens, both sad and happy scenes for a HEA.
    This includes dual pov's for Austin and Bailey, with a small chapter for Jax's Pov.
