The Handy Men is a quick and sexy by Jamie K. Schmidt. This story is a MMF menage, so if that is not your thing it might be best to steer clear of this one. While I was excited to read this one, I was also a bit wary. I have read some from Jamie K. Schmidt before, and they didn't entirely work for me. Unfortunately this one I had similar results with, and this will probably be the last I read from her.
Jack and Dean love each other but are looking for a woman to feel as though their life together is complete. So when newly divorced Paige buys a bed and breakfast and hires them to help her fix it up, they see the perfect opportunity to complete their triangle. But Paige is hesitant to join them, especially with how small the island is. Can they prove to Paige that the three of them belong together and that they can have it all?
These three were definitely hot together and there was a ton of chemistry. I also felt like things were sweet and there was a genuine connection forming between them. Despite the heat and connection though, things took a sudden turn that ruined it all for me. While this one was going so well, I just couldn't get past the sudden drama that occurred, including some OW drama. It just ruined everything for me and there were some things that happened that I wasn't on board with at all. It really felt like there was some betrayal happening and I just couldn't come back from that.
While this one had a ton of promise, unfortunately it took a turn that I didn't feel the story was ever able to recover from. I think that there are some that will really enjoy this story, and a lot of this is probably just some that bothers me personally. I have come to the conclusion though that this author just isn't for me, and while I don't seem to do well with her books I recommend giving her a shot if this one sounds good to you.

This book was hot and I really enjoyed the story, but the end lacked a little something. I feel like it wrapped up a little too quickly and would have liked an epilogue or something to help see what happened after everything was suddenly okay. This book definitely had steamy sex scenes and lots of heart. I anticipated a deception that didn't happen the way I was expecting and that kind of bothered me as well. Despite those few things, I found this story enjoyable and will continue to read books by Jamie K. Schmidt.

I've decided 3.5 stars.
We’ll treat her like a queen. F$ck like porn stars. And love her like she was our wife.
I always wanted to read a ménage with MMF altogether. This pushed me out of my comfort zone to begin with but I then began to love it. This is an unconventional love between three people. Monopoly has never been so hot.
Dean and Jack you can’t help but become a voyeur. And also want to participate. They are hot and sweet together and downright filthy. Add Paige in and well. Keep your fan ready.
I thought that there wouldn’t be enough substance but I’m glad to have been proven wrong.
Paige wants to start over so she moves out to Hamlet Island to open up the bed & breakfast The Nutmeg Inn. Lonely after finding out that her husband cheated on her with Barbie she is starved for affection.
Jack and Dean are in a relationship they had a third but indifferences arose and she left. Jack and Dean are helping Paige get the bed and breakfast hence the handy men. They want Paige and they are doing anything they can. Paige catches them in several acts and her fantasies start to run wild. But how will it work? They are a couple they love one another. But with the rumour mill of the island her livelihood is on the line.
The topic comes up that Jack can keep Stephanie and Dean Paige. Okay I guess they have to talk about it but for me it is a no brainer to be honest. They beg her to fight for them and then they tell her to take a break. Good on you Paige for putting a stop to it completely. The ending was somewhat anti-climactic. IMO.
There is o/w drama as an ex comes back and there is a surprise. That spoilt it for me. A lot.
I would have liked to have seen an epilogue to see how it continued a HFN just wasn’t enough for me. My first book by this author and although she has written an engaging, delectable read with fantastic characters with a balance of ménage that works between all three I’d need to think real hard about reading another book by this author.

This book was going so well then at 70% it went into the toilet with OW drama, a surprise baby, one of the heroes wanting the OW still which felt an awful lot like cheating to me...what a way to ruin a book.

This is one of the most bewildering, unnecessarily drama-filled novellas I’ve read. And for a MMF ménage, that’s saying something. Not only is there the typical “they won’t understand our dynamic” conflict, but there’s meddling family, hung-up exes, nosy neighbours, money troubles, and a surprise secret child! Too many conflicts took away from developing the relationship between the three leads that it all just seemed a bit slapped together.

This story features Paige Richards and Dean and Jack Reynolds. The story line was great except for a bit of fickleness from Jack. It made me wonder how he could so easily want to commit to Paige when a minute ago he was wanting to be with Stephanie. I love that Dean's feelings for Paige never waivered. I also adored the relationship between Dean and Jack. The end felt a little bit rushed but all in all it was a good story.

This is a smutty little treat for those into MMF menage erotica. Ms. Schmidt set up some interesting twists on some standard romance tropes that I didn’t expect. By the end, even if I wanted a bit more romance and time spent developing the characters, it’s the sexy times that kept me turning the page. If MMF is your jam, you may enjoy this.
