He’s a billionaire used to getting everything he wants—and he’ll stop at nothing to claim her.
Struggling restaurateur Kristin Daugherty has her future mapped out and won’t let any man derail her, especially wealthy, powerful Daniel Armstrong. The billionaire banker might be devastatingly handsome, but he’s also a notorious playboy. Since she has no intention of becoming a notch on his bedpost, she refuses his advances—no matter how much he tempts her.
Then at a charity auction, Daniel wins a weekend with her, and she’s no match for his seduction. She’s even more overwhelmed when he takes her to his family’s ranch and introduces her to his sexy twin brother, Noah. Soon, Kristin is forced to wonder if their attempts to make her theirs forever is more than her desperate heart can resist…
Sierra is a USA Today, International Best-Selling author who wrote her first book at age nine and hasn't stopped since. Sierra invites you to share the complex journey of love and desire, of surrender and commitment. Her own journey has taught her that trusting takes guts and courage, and her work is a celebration for everyone who is willing to take that risk.
Kristin spends a couple days with twins Noah and Daniel. They are Doms and want Kristin. Daniel has been vying for her for quite some time and Kristin finally gives in. She has never explored the BDSM world but these two make her want to.
My biggest problem with this story was the almost clinical nature of it or maybe just the lack of emotion. Towards the end of the story there was a bit more real romance and passion but I was craving true chemistry and romance at the beginning. And I didn’t like the references to Daniel being a manwhore in the past.
Noah was honest and wonderful but Daniel despite putting emphasis on communication wasn’t even honest and communicative himself so we got that whole “3rd act breakup.” Which admittedly didn’t work that well with the romance being less than 200 pages. So, didn’t love this but didn’t hate it either. I’ll try the others in this series!
Theirs to Hold has been in my library for a while,and i decided it was time to read this hot little number. Kristen is forced into an auction for charity by her sister,and ends up with Daniel,the very man she refused to have anything to do with before. A member of Titans,he is to her the same kind of man as Franklin,a man she despises. After she manages to hold Daniel off from fulfilling the deal they have,his patience is now done. He sets a date,and collects her at her home,after which he takes her to his,and his twinbrother’s,ancestral home. After the startling surprise of being at the mercy of both men during her stay,Kristen soon opens up and enjoys what’s happening. But while they’re honest about most things,there’s one subject they don’t discuss….. And it’s the most important one of all…..how do they feel,and what do they want?
Kristen may have been a newbie in the BDSM scene,but she sure knew how to top from the bottom,and that bothered me a little. Apart from that,i understood where she came from,and why she didn’t go into the arrangement expecting too much. Daniel may have been an experienced Dom,but he wasn’t exactly honest with himself,or the others. He had a vision of a future,but the details remained a blur. And he didn’t examine those until it was almost too late. In fact,only Noah was honest with himself,and shared his feelings with the other two. As it was,it was a hot little story,and i still enjoyed myself.
Theirs to Hold tells of the start of a menage relationship, but it all happened a bit too easily for me. Kristin saw Daniel years ago during her first experience at a club for dominants and submissives, and she was drawn to him then. But he’s a member of the Titans, an exclusive business club, and Kristin’s ex (who did a number on her) is also a Titan. So the thought of getting involved with Daniel is something Kristin actively avoids—for years.
Theirs to Hold starts as Kristin is tricked into being the “prize” at a charity auction and ends up with Daniel having the winning bid. And Kristin is livid when she discovers her sister set up the scenario with Daniel so he could finally act on his interest in her. Then Kristin stalls for *months* afterwards on this weekend date.
I’m explaining all this to show the level of Kristin’s resistance to Daniel during the first part of this book. So what happens when Daniel finally gets her to fulfill her commitment? Everything goes swimmingly. She’s super-excited by Daniel, and she glides easily and instantly into any dom/sub activity he comes up with. And then it turns out he shares everything with his twin brother, Noah, and Kristin is…completely comfortable with that.
This is such a 180-degree turn from the way that Kristin starts out in this book that I really couldn’t accept it. Add to it that Kristin is a total novice sub—that night she saw Daniel she was at the club to observe only. So anything that happens with a kink spin, much less a menage spin, is all new to her—and she accepts it all with ease and has no physical difficulties, either.
So I struggled with Theirs to Hold. Cartwright is such a good writer of these kinds of scenarios that they were fun to read. But I kept expecting Kristin to recoil or resist something, or to be upset by elements like an identical twin brother (!) being introduced. But no—she goes from avoiding something for months and years to “yes, it’s all fine by me.” Unfortunately, it wasn’t fine for me as a reader.
Just WOW!!! Sierra Cartwright has hit it out of the park with the first book, 'Theirs to Hold', in her "Titans Captivated" series. Kristin has been to the local BDSM club just once with her gay friend so he didn't have to go alone. That's when she saw Daniel and became intrigued, not just with the scenes she was witnessing but with Daniel and the submissive with him. When Kristin finds herself being auctioned for the local fundraiser and the highest bidder turns out to be Daniel, adrenaline spiked right off the page! Then to find out he has an identical twin brother and they intend to share her for their weekend, the stakes get higher. The thoughts, feelings, fears, and reactions as all her firsts take place were so relatable it was like being right there going through it with her. I've enjoyed every Titan book that Ms. Cartwright has written but if this is a representation of what to expect with this new series, count me in. I'm there!
This is an enjoyable contemporary romance that is filled with passion, chemistry, and is without a doubt sensual and sexy. I loved the twins, Daniel and Noah, each had their own distinct personality, and balanced each other out. I loved the connection between them and Kristin. This is an amazing read.
Story was too choppy and the initial pace was too fast. I did not see the development of trust and the fly through rapidly scenes bored me. Finally sifted through as quickly as possible just to get it done just in case there was something particularly redeeming hidden away.
I’ve not read much by this author. This story captivated me from the beginning. It’s a complicated romance with lots of up hill battles. Very steamy. I loved the way they came together in the end. The ceremony was awesome!
Sierra Cartwright is one of my go-to authors for fast paced BDSM stories. I hadn't read the whole blurb and so didn't expect the men to be twin brothers. I have issues with twins brothers sharing the same woman, this is so not my fantasy to have 2 identical men in my bed but to each their own.
I still had a good time reading this book, it was short, intense and hot.
dnf-ed about 50% in (which took me less than an hour)
i thought this was going to be one woman who falls for 2 brothers ... SEPERATELY why the twin brothers gotta be doing the business together with her?? do people thing incest makes romance stories edgy?
4.25 stars - "It was a couple of days, an exploration... And who didn't want two hot, sexy men?"
POV: multiple F BOMBS: yes CLIFFHANGER / STANDALONE: S NEW AUTHOR FOR ME: yes POSSIBLE TRIGGERS: BDSM, BDSM accessories, MFM, fifth base, lots of spanking, using "Jesus" as an expletive
MCs: Kristin Daugherty (independent, voluptuous red-headed new sub in training), Daniel Armstrong (Tall, southern accented billionaire Dom) and Noah (Daniel's twin & Dom)
OVERALL: enjoyed this book - would read more from this author - would recommend to others
PROS: 1. I know this is fiction, but I appreciated that the author included that the MCs had a clean bill of health 2. Almost got mad at author if Noah wasn't there for an important question - you little minx! 3. The twins were very considerate during sexy times; focus was all on FMC 4. HEA epilogue 5. Loved the twins' characters, they really balanced each other
CONS: 1. a few narration issues (mixing 1st and 3rd person speech) 2. don't feel like their conflicts were solved before making a commitment 3. FMC didn't love both twins equally; there was a favorite 4. the MMCs didn't always get to finish, especially on their special night 5. ending seemed a bit rushed
NOTEWORTHY: 1. tender gestures (i.e. Daniel returns with a warm washcloth) 2. favorite quote: "A woman is only difficult to the wrong man."

BRB I need to go hose myself off because that too hot to handle! I find myself saying this a lot when rewarding and reviewing SC’s books but darn! She knocked it out of the park again! ⚾️
This book is the first in the Titans Captivated series. If you haven’t already, grab her books from the Titan series. You absolutely don’t need to read them first, but you’ll enjoy them all just as well, all hot, alpha men who are members of an elite gentleman’s society and the women they fall for!
In Theirs to Hold, the title tells a lot. This is a MFM slow-simmer, love story involving Kristin, and identical twins, Daniel and Noah. Daniel is a wealthy Titan, and falls for Kristin instantly. He spends YEARS yearning, trying and waiting for her. She has zero interest in another Titan and being burned by her business partner ex.
Through an interesting twist of events, and a conniving sibling, Kristin is auctioned for charity, at a BDSM club, and Daniel is the winning bidder!
While the story picks up years after Daniel meets and falls for Kristin, we know she resists, but once the couple get to their actual weekend together, things move fast, hot and heavy! Noah enters the picture and he knows of Daniel’s interest. He too falls fast and the understanding is the twins want to share Kristin.
Now there are a few implausibilities on the story (the auction, how she came to be part of the auction, her resistance to Daniel then her quick 180 to being on board with his flavor of lovin, and her introduction to D/s, for example), but just remember it’s fiction, it’s fun, go with it.
Kristin, Noah and Daniel all have some baggage related to their past relationships. Kristin’s ex being a Titan and someone who jacked with her business, the twins ex being their failed attempt at ménage. This affects the throuple’s relationship development but ultimately, they get their HEA. This is a steam, quick easy read that you’ll want to cuddle up and read from start to finish. So do that! You won’t regret it.

I do feel this is borderline of being either e- with romance and either a romance with e...since they are both very crucial points to this story. This is my first time reading from this author, but based on her content on this book and the kinks she had - I'm definitely going to add her to my read list.
Overall it was good and there is a HEA!
What I loved - Smut content. I loved how it didn't shy away, and was kinky - but it's just right for me. - Explored both twins and how they get to love the FL - The smut was part of the building and made sense
What I didn't love - FL has a favorite of the twins. They've said over and over though that they are a package but...? - the narration is confusing - mostly in 3rd but goes switching a lot. - MLs didn't get to finish ???? why??? - I get it, but did not care to read about their exs that didn't work especially during the steamy scenes. There was a lot of mention to their exes (in particular one) who didn't work out with the three guys - it was a weird turn off that they mentioned her in pretty long detail during a sex scene. Basically it's saying how their ex never was as close to them compared to our FL..........but as a reader I was going ????? why during this hot steamy steam scene?????

Bridget owns a successful restaurant, and somehow her sister gets her to enter a submissive auction for a weekend with a Dominant. Daniel has had his eye on Bridget for quite some time, and this seems to be the perfect opportunity to get closer to her. He’s tried to ask her out, but Bridget has successfully evaded him. Her focus is on making her restaurant a success, and she doesn’t have time for dating—even if Daniel is the best looking man she’s seen. Recovering from a broken heart, Bridget has no intention of letting a man anywhere near her heart. But Daniel is proving to be a formidable suitor. When he places the winning bid, Bridget has no idea what Daniel has planned for their sensual weekend. When she makes it to his home, she’s shocked to find an almost duplicate of Daniel, his twin brother Noah.
All three are carrying baggage from past relationships, and it takes all three to help each other move past those hurts. This was a beautiful, captivating, and very hot tale of love in its many forms. I’m giving no spoilers, but these two brothers are beyond a dirty girl’s D/s fantasy.
This was a wonderful introduction to the new Titans Captivated series, and I can’t wait for what Sierra has next.
'Theirs to Hold' by Sierra Cartwright is the first book in her new series Titans Captivated and tells the story of Kristin Daugherty, a struggling restaurateur, and Daniel Armstrong, a wealthy, powerful billionaire. Daniel saw Kristin two years ago at his D/s club and wanted her right away. But Kristin is concentrating on her restaurant and is done with overbearing men thus is not interested in Mr. 'Playboy' Armstrong.
David has held a torch for Kristen for two years and is convinced she is the perfect sub him and his twin brother, Noah. When he is able to win a weekend with her at a charity auction he is thrilled. Kristin is not and keeps putting the weekend off. Finally she has no choice and Daniel takes her to the family ranch. There Kristin learns the weekend is not just with Daniel but with Noah as well. What is a girl to do?
Ms. Cartwright has written an engaging book with wonderful characters and a compelling storyline. This story is filled with humor, drama, sizzling chemistry, and some heat on the ranch. I really enjoyed this book and recommend it to everyone who enjoys a fab story with kink.

—>>> Kristin is a woman with a goal to make her restaurant a success, a large debt, and an even bigger regret regarding the man who had put her there. But when her well-meaning sister sets her up on a charitable auction block, the bidding on her is won by Titan billionaire Daniel Armstrong. No amount of avoidance tactics could get her out of her commitment, unfortunately, and she soon finds herself outside her comfort zone for a weekend, especially when she finds out that he has a twin brother…and that both Daniel and Noah want very much to share her. Daniel is used to getting what he wants, of course, but that does not mean that it will be easy for him this time, when the stakes for the twins are their hearts, not money. For Kristin, her journey as their submissive sparks a longing for much more. A great start to the Titans Captivated series!
Kristin Daugherty is a successful albeit struggling restaurateur. While helping her sister out at a charity event, Kristin comes face to face with Daniel Armstrong. Daniel is a successful and handsome businessman that has haunted her fantasies since their encounter at a BDSM club. Fear, remorse, jealousy, a a bit of anger fuel her dislike for him. But once she realizes that Daniel has secured a weekend of her time, she tries to run. Her body may be interested but her brain warns her to run.
Daniel has been biding his time to approach Kristin. He knows she’s the one for he and his brother. He just needs Kristin to recognize this on her own. So Daniel and his brother, Noah, begin their acquisition of the woman that belongs in their world and their home. But fear shields Kristin and she refuses to fall victim to another man.
This MFM union is so amazingly conveyed to readers.
Daniel wants Kristin with a vengeance. He has maneuvered his way into her world with the help of her sister. But can he convince Kristin to look past his tactics into his heart? Theirs to Hold is first in Sierra Cartwright's Titans Captivated series. I must admit Kristin had to grow on me. She fought to protect herself which I got. But once she learned that Daniel and Noah had feelings for her and she persisted in seeing the weekend through the lens of a fun getaway I struggled. Daniel and Noah put themselves out there and she wouldn't. She trusted them with her body but not her heart. So for me Ms. Cartwright had a battle. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing how she redeemed both Daniel and Kristin. I loved the growth both had as they allowed themselves to embrace their feelings and each other.
Kristin is determined to stay away from Daniel who she thinks is bad news especially because he runs in the same group as her ex. When Kristin finds herself as one of the prizes for a charity auction that Daniel wins, her world is upended and more so when Noah enters the picture.
This is another great read from Sierra Cartwright. Kristin and her men work well together. I enjoyed watching their relationship grow. Each of the three may be attracted to each other but there is pain in their pasts, and they must work through that to find their happy ever after. Kristin is a strong woman, and it was nice to see her find her way with Daniel and Noah. The two are ready to show Kristin just how much she means to them. The emotions and heat burn up the pages of their story and I cannot wait for the next book in this series.
Sexy, sensuous, passionate story ! Kristin owns a restaurant and has been struggling to pay off her ex who invested into her business and trying to make her fail. One night she replaces a bartender at her sister's event and she is put up to be auctioned off for a charity. She is bought by Daniel Armstrong a dominating man to go on a two trip to a ranch on the lap of luxury. She keeps postponing , until she runs out of excuses and travels to the ranch with Daniel. What she doesn't count on, is meeting his identical twin Noah, together they will dominate and give her the most outworldly pleasure that she did not know existed. Intense, steamy with so much love and affection. I volunteered to review this amazing story.
You can't stop loving or wanting to love because when it's right, it's the best thing in the world...
Three's a crowd is definitely not true when it comes to Kristen, Daniel and Noah. They are perfect together. Daniel and Noah are sexy as sin twin brothers, but each have their own personalities. Daniel is controlling and commanding, Noah is more tender hearted. A winning combination, best of both worlds.
Kristen was taken aback when she found out Daniel had been obsessing over her for 2 years. She was very keen to learn the BDSM lifestyle, but she was a novice when it came to being a submissive. The connection these three have together is breathtaking. Their story is erotic, steamy, romantic and passionate. A definite 5 👍👍👍👍👍 up.
First book in the Titans Captivated series. Kristin Daugherty, a workaholic restaurateur, is set up by her sister at a charity auction. Daniel Armstrong has been intrigued by Kristin-she’s rejected him, and he’s later seen her at a BDSM club. He has a fantastic proposition for the woman who is looking to expand her wings after a bad relationship—Daniel and his twin brother Noah are looking for a woman to share. This well-written story is a sensual BDSM exploration where it’s impossible not to catch feelings. I enjoyed the characters, and the development of the twins similarities & differences. I liked that Kristin’s career & business was respected. The plot was fun, emotional at times and yet not angsty.
I received a copy of this book. My honest opinion is voluntarily provided.
Sierra Cartwright’s first book in her ‘Titans Captivated’ series is certainly captivating the ratings. Daniel wins Kristen in a charity event for a weekend getaway at a ranch. Kristen’s a little irritated when she realizes that the man that bid on her is the same man that has been persistently trying to get her to go out with him. To put a cherry on top of the Mississippi mud mash, Daniel has an identical twin brother named Noah who owns the ranch. Will it be double the trouble or twice the fun for Kristen? You need to read this exciting adventurous, steamy romance to find out the answers to these questions and more. This book was so riveting hot that it was hard to put down until the very last page. Highly recommended and definitely a MUST read!
I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. Kristin has a lot of baggage that has her wanting to stay away from men. So even though she has a strong attraction to Daniel, she fights it for a long time. Daniel is feels the chemistry between them as a man and woman but also in a D/s capacity. He has a twin, Noah, that he knows will love her also. These three get a chance when Kristin finally honors his winning bid from the club. Both Doms want to show her how meaningful their arrangement could be. I had read this story a while back. It is a steamy menage romance with a submissive who finds what she needs from both Doms.

Daniel and Noah Armstrong; sexy, gorgeous, successful and Dominant identical twin brothers want to find a woman to love, share their lives and be their submissive. Kristin Daugherty just may be the one to fill the bill. Daniel has had her in his sights for two years and he's tired of waiting for her come around to his advances. A weekend of pleasure for this threesome may fulfill fantasies and desires but does not have the desired outcome for two of them. Kristin has never known such pleasure but being heavy handed is not the way to win her affections. She's been there-done that. It’s going to take some fast talking, lots of apologizing and a good bit of groveling to win her over but the twins are up for the challeng.
In this new spin-off to Sierra Cartwright's Titan series, we meet hot, successful twin bachelors Daniel and Noah Armstrong who are determined to find a woman to share. Daniel has been obsessed with Kristin for years and is convinced she would be the perfect sub for them. Problem: Kristin is a complete newbie to BDSM and not interested in him - or so she claims! I enjoyed the dynamics between the three of them, the should I-should I not conflict within Kristin, and of course, the steamy scenes of introduction and the great strength she shows that lead to a very satisfying HEA. Another wonderful addition to my ever-growing keeper shelf.
I had to wipe the steam off my tablet more than a few times while reading this story! This is a glorious MFM menage, with two dominants and our inexperienced sub. History has taught Kristen to avoid Daniel at all costs, but he just won’t give up. But once she realizes she has been manipulated, and both he and his brother Noah are involved, she is too curious to back out. Hence the exploration begins, and it is more than any of the three of them could have imagined or hoped for. Feelings, those still needed to be worked out for two of the three, but they get there and the HEA, their style, can begin <3
It does not disappoint. Sierra Cartwright writes amazing stories. I love all of them and I always look forward to each new book released by her. This book was a bonus because she does not normally write menage stories. I think, but I could be wrong, that there was a book several years ago that involved a triad. This was a great story. It has the all the hallmarks of a great read – minor manipulation, past bad experiences, dominance, submission, attraction x 2, hot, steamy! It is a great read and a great addition to the Titans library. I received a copy of this story in exchange for my honest review.
