Option Number 3 Trident Security #7.5 Samantha Cole 5 so freaking hot Stars
Samantha once again smashes it out of the park with yet another amazing chapter in the Trident Security series. Just when I think she can’t possibly pull out another jaw dropping “I can’t put it down� story, but here it is - Option Number Three. This time it’s Master Mitch, has his turn, and what a turn it is. This is not a story you want to start without being able to finish it in one sitting. Even with a headache I pushed through to finish, I wanted to continue no matter what... So freaking glad, I did!
Mitch Sawyer has secretly lusted after submissive, Tori Frejya but leaving it to late to collar her, now Tyler Ellis has her and they are very much in love. Left on the outer, Mitch is struggling with his family all falling in love, getting married, having babies and he’s just checking out the sidelines. So when the option to accompany Ty and Tori to Las Vegas he jumps at the chance. Being a partner for Tori ‘s cousin’s for a wedding should keep him busy, but lack of chemistry doesn’t help the urges he has towards Tori but also Ty.
After the wedding is over Ty, Mitch and Tori head to a casino, winning big and drinking to much turns a goodnight into a good night. Mitch will give into his urges towards Tori with the ok from Ty. What he didn’t expect was to want Ty as much as Tori. The three will spend an extremely, explosive hot night together that will blow him away. But the next morning, when the fog cleared and he realised what he’d done, he cut and runs, embarrassed and with so many questions. He has never wanted to be with a man, but the time with Ty was beyond anything he has anticipated.
Running away was never his thing, but not knowing how to take what happened and the feelings that have surfaced he runs... to Nick and Jake... If anyone can make some perspective, this loved up couple will be his men. Returning to Tampa and to Tori and Ty, Mitch must come to terms with the fact that Tori is not the only one who turns his head. Moving forward he confronts both and comes up with a new deal. One that will be the perfect Option Number Three.
Option Number Three is a quick read about Mitch Sawyer. He is attracted to Tori Freyja but Ty moved in on her faster than him. Tori asks a favor of Mitch, to go to to Vegas and be Tiffany's date. Tiffany been in the lifestyle for 5 years and she left her Dom- Bruce Whitlow -he treated her badly as a slave. Well one night in Vegas Mitch, Ty and Tori did something and the next morning Mitch ran. He didn't know what was happening. So he talked to a friend of his and said he had 3 options and he picked #3 which was see where it goes.
As always Samantha doesn't disappoint. Her writing just engulfs you. 4 stars!
Once again Ms Cole brings us another hot instalment from her Trident series. This book altho part of her Trident world is more about The Covenant and it's members than Trident. Mitch Is in charge of running the club and whilst there he spots a submissive he wants to get to know,unfortunately another Dom gets to her first, what follows is a revelation for Mitch and the other two. Angst and heartache are all involved but it's highly combustible. Wow...hot and very steamy. Lovers of this series will absolutely adore Mitch and his story.
I loved this book as much as all the others of this series!!! I love the Trident Security men and I enjoy learning more about all of the extended family!! Whew, it was steamy!!
This is a short wonderful read that we get to focus on the club and Mitch Sawyer rather than our Trident men. Don't get me wrong -- they are here but the story swirls around our club boss. What I love as well about this release is that Samantha has given you the entire rundown on who is who including the most beloved characters Beau and Spanky.
When we turn to page one we find Mitch struggling to find out what is missing from his life. Although he thinks its nothing that needs further canoodling than creating a scene he comes to find out that maybe there is more than just a one thing or person missing. The one person he finds swimming through his thoughts is already involved with another DOM. Interfering would not be right.
Tori is in love with Tyler -- its very evident to all. But maybe there is something more that could be there for she and for Tyler. Maybe what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas -- or maybe it doesn't. Maybe they all need more and just didn't know it.
Not only is this a really great read which includes a great run in with Nick and Jake but it also will leave a smile on your face as Mitch has sat on the sidelines watching all of his family fall in love and find their forever. Mitch deserved to find his. These secondary characters have really left me begging for their story. Jenn is definitely on my radar as well as Tiny.
Along with a excellent story line we have another sub missing as the person responsible is still lurking in the dark corners. Take the time to read the bios of each character prior to turning your first page. I found myself remembering and saying OH I LOVE THEM so many times!
The cover is stunning.
Great read and absolutely brilliant story line of finding yourself and following your ray of happiness. Thank you for the ARC! Brilliant and usual and amazingly fantastic! Review to post to Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets.
This is a great addition to the Trident Series. This story is about the cousin Mitch who is co owner of the club. He is asked by Tori to be a d ate for her cousin to a wedding. He agrees but soon finds out more about himself. This is a great addition to this series.
What an awesome book. This is not only a great addition to the Trident Security series it’s a marvelous fitting storyline for the one and only Mitch. He has been a strong figure in the series and without giving anything away I’ll simply say Ms. Cole has done herself proud in giving Master Mitch this story. I can honestly say I didn't see this one happening as it did (sorry I don’t do spoilers) but I can very happily say I’m sure glad it did. This is one story you honestly do not want to miss out on. 2 Thumbs Up to the author and I highly recommend 1-clicking this novella ASAP!
This is the story we've all been waiting for, and it definitely does not disappoint! Mitch's HEA is everything I could have hoped for and more. I love every single book by Ms. Cole, but this one is absolutely my favorite!
Chemistry between the characters is undeniable, and it leads to some very steam scenes. Throughout this story you truly connect with every character and you desire for everyone to get their HEA, and in the end the anticipation definitely pays off.
This book is part of the Trident Security Series and is best read in order to fully understand all of the characters.
Mitch Sawyer is the co-owner of The Covenant, a BDSM club that is run on exclusivity and anonymity. Mitch has remained mainly out of the spotlight but he is extremely attracted to Tori Freyja, a submissive at the club who is involved in a relationship with Tyler Ellis.
When Tori asks Mitch to accompany her and Tyler to a wedding in Las Vegas as a date for her cousin he agrees. Yet what happens in Vegas will leave Mitch wondering what he wants and having feelings that he has never experienced before.
After a talk with Jake Donovan, Mitch is left with three options but which one will he choose?
Wow this is another great addition to the series.
I liked Mitch but completely understood the conflict he had mentally and emotionally with everything he was going through. This book had him dealing with things he had never had gone through before and he needed someone to talk him through everything.
I liked the honesty of both Tyler and Tori with how they felt with everything that they were going through themselves and their feelings toward each other and Mitch. I liked how supportive Tyler and Tori were with each other.
I loved the ending and although I wasn't surprised I was really happy the way everything worked out!
Love this series and can't wait for what the author has next!
We finally get Mitch’s story. As one of the owners and the manager of The Covenant he has appeared in all the books and has been a behind the scenes character and has intrigued me from the first. Cousin to Ian and Devon Sawyer he has been in the lifestyle awhile.
Accompanying Tori a submissive from the club and her Dom Tyler to Vegas for a wedding will bring up feelings neither Tyler or Mitch or prepared for, and Tori fighting her attraction to Mitch.
Mitch’s attraction for Tori is troublesome in that she is in a committed D/s relationship and he wants to scene with them. He is worried that his attraction will continue after.
Being bisexual Tyler likes to submit occasionally to a Dom, his attraction to Mitch is troubling since Mitch is straight. Both Tori and Ty want to be topped but is Mitch up to the task.
Another great addition to the Trident Security series. Mitch is the owner/manager of the Covenant, a BDSM club on the premises of the Trident Security complex. He's been on the sidelines as his family & friends are finding their significant others & he's beginning to feel left out & lonely. The one woman he feels attracted to is a sub named Tori & he waited too long to make his move. She's under contract with another Dom, Tyler.
Tori & Tyler are in love with each other but they each admitted to the other that they are attracted to Mitch. It's ok for Tori but Mitch has never been considered gay or bi so where does Tyler stand?
This novella is a wonderful read about the importance of love no matter what form it takes. Through Mitch & his concerns, Ms. Cole shows readers that taking a chance can yield relationships that are more than worth it. While a little unconventional, this was an excellent, sexy read & I enjoyed the update on characters from the other books in the series.
Jesus Christ, where has Master Mitch been hiding???? BEST BOOK EVER!!!
Mitch Sawyer has had his eye on the new sub Tori but Tori is in a relationship with Master Tyler. When Tori asks Mitch to help her out and attend a wedding in Vegas as her cousins plus one, Mitch puts his Dom hat on and agrees.
When they get to Vegas, the air in the book starts to change. After a night out things get a little hot and heavy, stuff happens that leaves Mitch seriously confused and I just loved how Samantha portrayed this. You could feel Mitch’s turmoil with every word you read and his situation was unlike one I have ever read about.
Also I loved the fact that Tyler is a Dominant switch, Tori is his sub but he also like to submit to men. I have to say that this book was so well written and opened my eyes further into the BDSM world.
As always, I loved this book but Samantha is just amazing so I’m not surprised! I have to say that my kindle nearly melted with the hotness of this book.
I cannot recommend the Trident Security books enough.
Mitch Sawyer is the cousin of Ian, Devin and Nick Sawyer and manages as well as co-owns the Covenant. He has strong feelings for newish sub Tori, but she is already in a contract with switch Tyler. Mitch is asked to go with them to a wedding in Vegas to escort a sub whose former abusive dom will also be at the wedding. Is three a crowd or a dream come true? Will what happens stay in Vegas or come home with them? A wonderful 4.5 star read.
This is a great addition to the Trident Security series. As we grow our likes and dislikes become more fluid than we thought they ever would. It calls for opening your mind and following your heart. Mitch finds himself doing just that when he realizes what he feels for Tori and more shocking Tyler, too. A story for those that realize love is love and we only live once.
Oh my god, I loved this story. Who says you can't fall in love with two people and be in a relationship? After you read this book, you will understand what I'm talking about. With all books, I always keep an open mind. This book will not disappoint you. Can't wait to read what comes next.
Mitch is attracted to Tori but he waited too long to let her know and now she is taken. Tori is attracted to Mitch but Tyler has become her love. But even though Tyler loves Tori, he needs a heavier hand. Can Mitch provide for both Tyler and Tori? Option Number Three is the latest installment in Samantha A. Cole’s Trident Security series. Mitch has never been attracted to men, but he suddenly finds Tyler appealing to his senses. There is something about him that puts Mitch in a tale spin. Is it his connection to Tori? Is it something more? Is he gay and deep in the closet? As Mitch struggles with these questions, Ms. Cole weaves a wonderfully emotive story. Tori and Tyler are both submissive, although Tyler is a switch who can only submit to men. Tori is comfortable with Tyler’s need for a dominant male and hopes they can find someone to top them both. But is Mitch the right fit? Tyler has no desire to be someone’s dirty little secret, but has a night in Vegas opened a can of worms best left alone? I love the many issues Ms. Cole raised in this story. Mitch is struggling with a change in his sexuality. Tyler is struggling with the limitations Mitch has placed on their interactions. And Tori wants what is best for both men she loves. I love the acceptance each character finds not only with themselves but also with their friends and family. This story is well written and full of heat. The emotions felt real and believable. I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Cole’s addition to this series and can’t wait to see what happens next.

This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I am a huge fan of this book! When Mitch met Tori he was attracted to her. After waiting too long, she met someone else. What happens when he is asked to go to a wedding in Vegas with them? Enjoy this story of personal growth, figuring out what makes you happy and lots and lots of steamy chemistry. I'm a huge fan of this series, like all the others, this one did not disappoint.
MMF Novella in the Trident Security Series. Received an ARC as a prize. Enjoyed Mitch's story as he figures out what and who he wants. What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas.
I loved this book. I enjoyed Mitch's personal struggle with coming to terms with his attraction to Ty. He completely understood his attraction to Tori, she would have been his, if he hadn't waited too long.
When he seeks advice from his cousin Nick and his fiance Jake, he realizes that he needs to see where this new attraction goes. Together the three of them will work through their fears and find a love that will be the answer to all of their dreams.
This could be read as a stand alone read but is better if you have read about all the others in the Trident/Covenant family. I have fallen in love with Samantha Cole and eagerly wait for her next book
Samantha A Cole is trying very hard to give all the fans a heart attack with all this amazing novellas ...lol i just can't get enough of them, they are getting hotter and more risky ;) and if you thought DD&D was hot, wait until you read ONT ..
ONT was a pleasant surprise, it was awesome to finally read Mitch story ... Mitch has been lusting about Tori for such a long time until one day he realizes is too late because another Dom has already claimed her Ty .. but not everything is lost for Mitch when Tori invites him to go to Vegas with her Dom Ty and her... after that weekend in Vegas the things between the three of them change radically .. Mitch feels very confused about something that happened in vegas .. Ty and Tori are afraid to lose him forever after that one night.. but i won't tell you more about it so i won't spoil the fun.. i love so many parts of this book, i love when Ty confronted Mitch (you have to read the book) i love the collaring ceremony (you have to read the book) and i also love when Mitch shows Ty that he loves him (you have to read the book haha) the other things i like about ONT is you also get to see a few other characters from the trident security series like Jake and Nick one of my favorite couples of trident.. also did i mentioned there is a menage ;) .... like Nelly says "is getting hot in here"
OMFG!!! WOW!!! HOLY S***!!! What can i say... this was all of those and a hell of alot more!!! I think this is definitely, one of the hottest books i've read for a while!!! Nothing better than a m/m/f read... and this book had me literally drooling!!! This is Mitch, Tyler and Tori's story... and a scourching one at that *sighs*... I refuse to give spoilers in my reviews so i will just recommend that you READ THIS BOOK ASAP!!! Master Mitch is just so damn hot... with Tyler as a switch but he's Tori's Master and Tori she is amazing and sometimes 'tops from the bottom'... you will feel every emotion possible as you read this book... I certainly did!!! Ms Cole really has outdone herself with this book... and i am desperate to discover what she has planned for her next in series... i can guarantee... that what ever it is... will be explosive and hot as all hell!!!
I have loved the glimpses I have gotten of Mitch throughout the series, and I was super excited when I saw that he had his own novella.
I appreciated the fact that this was more fluff and that there was not a suspense aspect to this novella. Perfect palette cleanser before the last two books of the series.
This is the story we've all been waiting for, and it definitely does not disappoint! Mitch's HEA is everything I could have hoped for and more. I love every single book by Ms. Cole, but this one is my absolutely favorite! The Chemistry between the characters is undeniable, and it leads to some very steam scenes. Throughout this story you truly connect with every character and you desire for everyone to get their HEA, and in the end the anticipation definitely pays off.I have wanted Mitch story for what felt like forever i am so happy we got it and it was out of the park.
Generally speaking menage is not really my first love but this book may just change my mind about how I view menage in the future. Mitch Sawyer, all man and all Dom has a weekend away in Vegs thay he may never recover from...... What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas so to find out more you just have to read the book
This novella is book 7.5 in the Trident Security Series. Can it be a read alone, yes, but I highly recommend you read this series in book order. It is an amazing series that gets better with each book.
Mitch Sawyer is co-owner of The Covenant and runs the BDSM Club. He acts too late on his attraction to submissive Tori Frejya. She belongs to and is in love with Tyler Ellis.
An encounter in Vegas pushes Mitch out of his comfort realm and now he's fighting against his feelings. He has to decide what path his life is going to take.
I really like the author touches on the different aspects of BDSM lifestyle. With each book you get a better understanding.
I absolutely love that at the prologue of this book the author gives us a who's who and the history of Trident Security and the Covenant. I'm an avid follower of this series and I forget between books as to who is who. In fact I've printed this out to use for future reference. Thank you so much Samantha for doing this.
They say you snooze, you lose .... will this Dom miss out on a good thing?
My decision to jump into a series seven books into it was hesitant, but not as difficult as the decision Dom Mitch Sawyer has to make in this latest Trident Security series novel! But once I started reading, I was totally hooked and have now started at the beginning of the series!
The author did a fabulous job of not only enthralling the reader with the trio of lead characters in this book (yes - three), but she also laid enough background about other characters so everything fit perfectly. She also developed the characters so well that the reader could actually feel the conflict & "draw" of each character's feelings.
I don't do re-caps or spoilers ... but I do honestly review a book based on how well it is written & how much I enjoyed the read! This book is a definite winner and I look forward to reading more of author Samantha A. Cole's work!
I just love this series by samantha A cole. The trident security series is amazing and erotic and compelling. Each book is a different story about the sawyer brother's there family and friends all intermingled together. Each having there own stories to tell. I love it.
