In the shadow of a crumbling Regency estate, a dangerous bond forms between three souls bound by secrets and survival. When a devastating head injury leaves Oliver vulnerable, the formidable Kiernan steps in, offering refuge that quickly spirals into a dark, intoxicating power struggle. But Kiernan is not merely a savior; he is a man who sees the hidden currents flowing between Oliver and the spirited Ophelia, and he is determined to claim them both. This intense MMF ménage romance explores the razor-thin line between control and surrender. As the trio navigates the complexities of their shifting dynamic, the tension simmers into a breathtaking exploration of desire and psychological depth.

Amazing

I loved this read. You have three main characters. You have Kiernan who is the dom and takes Oliver and Ophelia in after Oliver gets a head injury. Kiernan went through a major incident in the dom world seven years ago and has been keeping his head down staying clear of having his own submissive. Kiernan is not able to control himself with Ophelia and Oliver and starts up a dom relationship until his past comes back to haunt him. Merrigan did such an amazing job writting this story.

Phenomenal

Book 1 of Thorned Thistle can be read as a standalone. This menage romance was intensly dark and delicious. I was instantly captivated by everything about this book. This was so much more than a spicy romance. There was suspense, a revenge plot, action, and a deep emotional romantic connection beyond the physical attraction. I was not prepared for the wild roller-coaster ride this book took me on, but I'm so glad it turned out to be so much more than I expected. Kiernan, Oliver, and Ophelia were scortching hot together. The BDSM scenes were well written, and the characters were easy to connect with. Their dynamic and chemistry felt so real and simply undeniable as it grew to be so much more. It was a phenomenal read I couldn't get enough of.
