Mine to Share | Kennedy L. Mitchell

Long time readers of Kennedy L. Mitchell have been waiting for Jameson to get his HEA….and boy oh boy was the wait SO WORTH it! So worth it! Friends.  If you were in love with Jameson in Mine to Love you have seen nothing yet.  Jameson Bend is the dream book boyfriend.  DREAM I tell you.  A new profiler for the FBI he is on his first solo mission and off to a small town where the ME (medical examiner) thinks they have a serial killer in their town.  Dr. Rain Evans is the new ME. Might be new to her role as an ME but this woman is brilliant.  Detective Slade Taylor is an amazing homicide detective and works closely with Rain.  He is enamored with her.

Jameson has worked with Rain in the past and has never been able to get her out of his mind. He cannot wait to work with her.  Jameson is so thoughtful, kind, supportive and it seems knows just the right things to say to but both Rain and Slade at ease. Jameson is sensitive and sees that Rain’s emotional needs cannot be provided by one person.  He knows his limitations, and wants better for his relationship. 

Dr. Rain Evans recently started a new life and career in a new place.  But man is she lonely.  Her job is lonely and busy, leaving not a lot of time for a personal life.  But she longs for a connection.  And has seriously crushed on Detective Slade Taylor since starting her new life.   Rain is one of my favorite heroines in this series.  She is brilliant.  So smart, funny, witty, and cares so much for people.  On top of that she has a fun style and enjoys the little things in life.  

Slade on his second career and several failed relationships which makes him keep his distance from Rain.  This man is so drawn to this dynamic charming woman.  Slade has a giant heart and is so protective of those that he loves, but he feels that he really needs to protect Rain from himself. The process of Slade understanding that he truly is part of what Rain needs was so realistic in my opinion.  Slade took some time and there were events that put things into perspective for him, but once this man embraced Rain and Jameson it was so beautiful.  And his take charge approach had me fanning myself.  

If you have never read a book about a poly relationship or MFM this book is a must read for you.  Jameson, Rain, and Slade all have an amazing connection and friendship.  They understand one another and support each other emotionally. One aspect of this book that I think was the most amazing is that their relationship is not based on sex.  It is emotionally supporting one another and being there for each other.  Yes, they also have an intense sexual connection as well, but that is secondary to their already formed emotional bond.  I was rooting for these three from the get go.  Their relationship growth was amazing. No swords cross, but Jameson and Slade are extremely close friends and there are “group” activities (that are so amazing…so hot I feared my ipad was going to explode)!  In the midst of these three finding love and building a relationship they also were searching and putting the clues together to find a serial killer.  I truly adore how Mitchell intertwines both the case and the characters’ finding love.  The tidbits and clues she gives you throughout the book truly make her books unputdownable! Trust me, I say you are going to want to binge read this book! She also gives us side characters at a point when you least expect it and makes you fall in love with them. 

If you are new to Kennedy L. Mitchell I highly recommend this series and book! While it is a standalone you will want to binge this entire 8 book series and move onto some of her other series as we wait for Mine to Shelter.  Mitchell’s books give us intense suspense, mystery, bad guys, amazing alpha heroes, steamy steamy scenes, so much heart!
