The Billionaires: The Stepbrothers by Calista Fox

This pair of stepbrothers have their sights set on just one woman...

Scarlet Drake is an insurance fraud investigator hot on the heels of the thief who stole a multimillion-dollar art collection from tycoon Michael Vandenberg's Hamptons estate. Unfortunately, the sexy Wolf of Wall Street is also her prime suspect--along with his equally mouthwatering stepbrother, Montana rancher Sam Reed. Scarlet quickly finds herself tangled up in the two devilishly handsome men, and ensnared in a web of family lies.

Michael is used to getting what he wants--and he wants Scarlet in his bed. Sam had no intention of getting emotionally or romantically involved with a woman again, but he can't deny the sizzling chemistry with Scarlet. And when the three of them cave to one sinfully delicious night of sheer decadence, their sexy ménage becomes a fiery affair of the heart. But they don't stand a chance at a happily ever after unless all of the absolute truths are finally revealed...

This is a standalone ménage romance with an HEA.

So this was entertaining, but it seems that it didn't quite flow. There was a lot of great interaction between all three characters, and the mystery behind the love story was very intriguing.

I wish that this was more about the mystery rather than the love story. I think that it would have been much more successful.

I think that once you can get passed the family aspect, that the relationship could be pretty successful, but when you first read it, it has kind of a strange creep factor.

This was just an okay romance for me, but I enjoyed the mystery aspect quite a bit.

The Billionaires: The Bosses by Calista Fox

What do you do when you have not just one hot boss, but two? And they both want you?

What will it take to make her theirs?

Bayli Styles leaves California wine country behind for the bright lights of New York City, in search of fame and fortune. However, fame and fortune are a little further out of reach than she had hoped, so to supplement her meager modeling income, she seeks a hostess position at Manhattan's hottest new venue, owned by billionaires Rory St. James and Christian Davila. Bayli gets much more than she bargained for when both devastatingly handsome and magnetic men make her blood sizzle...and offer her the guiltiest of all pleasures--themselves.

Bayli is the perfect solution to the two problems currently plaguing entrepreneurs Rory and Christian, professionally and sexually. She'd make the ultimate -face- for their current joint venture, but both men are thinking beyond business and waste no time seducing Bayli into their brand of double pleasure. In the end, the threesome will put it all on the line--their bodies, their hearts, their souls--either destined for failure, or for the redefinition of true love.

This is a standalone ménage romance with an HEA.

Bayli is getting desperate. She wants to break into her modeling or acting career, but just can't seem to get noticed. She sees an opportunity and takes it only to be mowed down, literally, by the one person who can make or break her ability to land the hostess position – Rory.

Rory is intense in a way that would make anyone cower. However, he has a softness to him when nobody is looking, but because he's also a perfectionist, he is usually gruff and mean too. His relationship with Christian is long standing and doesn't waiver, despite being insanely attracted to Bayli and wanting her with all that he is.

Christian is intense, but in a business sort of way. When he meets Bayli and she asks for a job – in a roundabout way, he admires her. He knows what it's like to work hard and get your dreams. When he sees Bayli, he instantly thinks of Rory and how much fun they could all have together.

The three of them are friendly, but I didn't really get too much chemistry between them. The men are overprotective and the stalking angle is strong. I enjoyed the story and watching these three figure out their relationship.


Kris – ☆☆☆
The second book in the Lover’s Triangle series and this is Bayli's book. We have three girlfriends who grew up together in wine country – River Cross, CA. Bayli's mom died and left Bayli with a lot of medical bills and debt. Putting her life on hold to care for her mother, after her death, Bayli moves to New York to pursue a modeling career. She is looking for her third job to help pay the bills and runs, quite literally, into chef Rory St. James. Rory is immediately drawn to Bayli. He and his business partner, Christian, who also sometimes partners their lovers, find Bayli to be exactly what they are looking for in their bed and in their new endeavor. Christian envisions a new cooking show featuring Rory as chef and Bayli is the perfect spokeswoman. The three find themselves entangled in love and in business.

While I really enjoyed the first book in this series, for some reason Bayli's story didn't do as much for me. I found them in love too quickly with no back history to support such quick and intense feelings. The ménage scenes were well worth the read though, so I liked that! Throw in Christian's sometimes-lover and full-time office assistant who is a woman scorned and not happy with the new girl, and it's not a bad book at all. Solid three stars here.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the second in a series – and we do get some contributions from Jewel, who stars in the previous book – but it is fundamentally a standalone. I had some issues with that book, because of the writing style, and it hasn't really changed here. It is nothing serious, just a bit too much catching us up on their background through thoughts, and swapping out of usual words for a more flowery version. The story is strong enough for me to have enjoyed it all the same.

Bayli is an interesting mix of a character, with some parts of her being very confident, and others very insecure. As we understand the challenges of her youth, then it is less surprising, and helped to explain some of the less expected actions or comments. She certainly caught a lucky break with these two men, and takes full advantage of their combined skills! Ms. Fox certainly knows how to heat up the pages with ménage adventures.

There is a loose mystery involved, which was rather loudly signalled, but amusing. I wish we had more of their lives pre-epilogue. I am very curious as to whether the super independent Scarlett is going to catch the trio bug of her two good friends and get her own happily ever after.

The Billionaires by Calista Fox

100 Shades of Sin...

In The Billionaires, Calista Fox delivers a sexy and sensuous friends-to-lovers tale with a delicious love triangle twist.

Jewel Catalano, Rogen Angelini, and Vin D'Angelo had been childhood best friends, spending every possible moment with one another. Rogen became her first love, the first one to show her what pleasure could be. Until a volatile feud erupted between their powerful California wine country families and she and Rogen were torn apart from each other. What she didn't expect was to find comfort and passion like she had never known in Vin's arms and bed. But when that too ended in disaster, Jewel moved to San Francisco to work for the Catalano empire. Years later, a series of daring acquisitions brings Jewel back to River Cross, the hometown where Rogen and Vin have recently returned as well. Jewel has the curves, the smarts, and the success to bring any man to his knees—especially the two men who remained best friends and still burn to possess her.

Mixing family business with erotic pleasure ignites a smoldering love triangle. But in order to pull off the bold deal that will build the trios’ own legacy and to stay in their heady, sensual paradise, they must discover what true love really is—or lose everything their hearts' desire, in The Billionaires by Calista Fox.

This was a second chance love meets sexy, hot ménage. I really enjoyed this story and the twists and turns were both unexpected and a pleasant surprise.

Jewel is wanting to finally to set up her own business. She is tired of watching the land that is supposed to be willed to her sit, unused, unloved, and caught between her family and Rogen's family. She is bright, strong willed, seductive, and the perfect match for Rogen and Vin. Not only is she able to catch the eye of best friends, Rogen and Vin, but she's also able to capture their hearts.

Jewel comes up with a plan that can't fail. She will purchase a much sought after liquor and trade it to Rogen's father in order to get him to sign off on his portion of the property. Nothing can go wrong. But then she runs into both Rogen and Vin – the two people she didn't believe she would really have to deal with.

Rogen is her first love. He hasn't seen her in several years because he was shipped off to school and told to stay away from Jewel. When he notices her from across the room, all of those old feelings come rushing back and the attraction that never went away rears its head.

Vin is also at the house that night and sees Jewel – but being the cocky, snarky personality that he is, he just saunters up and SLAP! I loved that scene! Vin was a hard character to read – he showed almost no emotions throughout the story and held onto this anger throughout.

However, when all three of them converge to plot, not only do they come up with a great plan, but their chemistry explodes through the story. It's sexy, sensual, and their sheets were on fire.

This was a sweet story about learning to communicate, healing past broken hearts, and being okay with who you decide to be.


Kris – ☆☆☆☆
Who doesn't love a good ménage book? And this one is just that!

In an amazing lover’s triangle, we have Jewel Catalano, a very successful business woman who wants one thing, to build on the land that sits between her parents and her parents’ ex-best friends. Along with that, she's hoping to reconnect with her first love, Rogen. Rogen was sent away to school by his parents to keep him and Jewel apart when the feud between his parents and hers started. He never truly got over Jewel. Even when she started seeing his best friend, Vin, when he became more and more distant. Jewel couldn't choose between them then and she certainly can’t now. Needing Rogen to sign off on the property she wants, puts them back in the triangle they began 10 years prior and nothing has changed for any of them. They all love one another!

This book started a bit overly descriptive with backdrop and scene setting. That did seem to ease up quickly. Or, maybe I was completely diverted by the smoking hot scenes that played out between Jewel, Rogen, and Vin. Some of the best I've read in a while, I was enthralled! The story moves forward quickly after that and I was highly entertained and thoroughly enjoyed the read.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is a sweet, sexy story with a fun plot. I cannot say that I cared for some of the more flowery language at the beginning, but once the characters are established, then we get more plot and less adjectives.

I did want to ask the senior couples what on earth they were thinking by the end – but it worked well to create the atmosphere needed for the story to work. Other than that annoyance at them, I felt that the storylines achieved the intensity and divisions that made this trio reach the point that they did.

Although their money meant that they lived it big, it wasn't really an issue, because they were all pretty much in the same position – and Jewel had as much business acumen as the men, even if she went to university locally, rather than Yale. In terms of intimate experiences though, she is enjoying learning from their previous ménage adventures.

If you like the idea of a trio which develops out of childhood friendships, but now has a chance to explore their true feelings for each other, then this will serve you well. It also has some entertaining side plots.
