This is the third in the series of novellas - but I have to confess my first, I may well go and read the previous two, as this was a satisfying read. We get to know who the previous books feature, but that would not spoil the stories I am sure.

I really like the premise behind this story - three friends from childhood get to meet again as adults, and as the two men have a reputation for indulging in ménages, she thinks she may finally live out her fantasy. Little does she know that they have been avoiding each other for the last twelve months and may be dissolving their business relationship as well as their personal one. There are many variations on the theme of ménage, and the reason that they have been avoiding each other is fascinating and definitely plot worthy.

Combine a sexy trip on a yacht, some wonderful humour and a trio of very passionate lovers, and this makes for a really enjoyable read.

I now have two books to add to my to-be-read list because Confession was a hot MFM ménage that left me wanting more, so I have no choice but to check out the previous installments in the Bayfront Billionaires series. The built-in history between Devon, Morgan, and Fallon enables the author to begin with a mini-reunion of sorts as all three find themselves back in Bayfront. But theirs is a reunion fraught with complications. Devon and Morgan’s friendship is still tenuous after nearly crossing a line during a ménage a year ago, something they’ve avoided discussing by working on projects in different states. A lucrative offer on the Bayfront Yacht Club, their first venture together, could make their separation even more permanent. As for Fallon, she’s returned home with a new look, a budding skin care business, and hopes for a future between… ahem, I mean, with Devon and Morgan – after all, she’s heard the rumors.

One of the many things I enjoyed about Confession, is that despite it being a novella, Fox has written a fully developed story and events unfold in such a way that the length is irrelevant. That’s not to say I wouldn’t have enjoyed more pages because this threesome is HAWT!!! But in no way did I feel as though it was left unfinished, because not only did I get some seriously erotic scenes between Fallon and each of the guys and as a ménage, but I got to watch their relationships struggle under the burdens of the past and begin to heal with the promise of a future, an epic ultimatum scene, and a surprisingly romantic Valentine’s Day exchange. Fox really packed Confession full of sexy and feisty fun, which is why I plan to go back and read the earlier installments. So if you’re looking for a couple of hours of some steamy ménage entertainment, I’d recommend giving Confession a look… or three.

In Confession, book three in the Bayfront Billionaires series, long time friends and billionaire business partners Devon McMillan and Morgan Presley have been estranged for two years with no signs of a reconciliation on the horizon. A threesome took them to a place neither is willing to deal with as their personal boundaries became blurred in a moment of lust. When their childhood friend Fallon Carteris returns to Bayfront with a confession of being attracted to both men can they resolve their issues and pursue what could be the best thing to ever happen to them?

The Bayfront Billionaire series makes threesomes the norm in an irresistible and well written manner. Calista Fox's characters confront their desires and treat them with respect and honesty. This author guides her work with focus and clarity even as she takes her cast on huge leaps of faith. Ms. Fox's finds acceptance for everyone's unique take on sexuality and offers strong relationships to support them. With impressive plotting this novella conveyed a lot in a short space to a very satisfactory conclusion. Ms. Fox takes commitments to new heights as three friends seal their love with a long and lingering kiss that will leave readers breathless.

A quick read with pieces of first crush, reinventing yourself and crossing classes. Would have liked to see the conversations between the characters more. Too much happened outside of the actual dialogue and it would have flowed better with more character interactions.

I actually really enjoyed this one - even more than the last book in the series.

In this installment, Fallon has been in love with her childhood friend for years but felt she lacked the necessary spark to catch their attention. Especially considering that Mason and Preston have a penchant for menage....

Now though she has matured and grown up a lot since leaving Bayfront and returning home again and is determined to take her 'shot' with the two.

Lots of hotness and steam fur sure with this trio - both separate and together. Fallon is a virgin who has few inhibition!

No cheating and a HEA ending.

Looking forward to the next book.

Bored, bored, bored. If I had to hear about the girl in the red dress one more time, I might have thrown my kindle across the room. Don't care what happens to any of them.

Devon and Morgan are billionaire best friends. They have been on separate coasts for nearly two years after almost crossing a forbidden line during an off-the-hook threesome. When their Bayfront business brings in a sound offer to buy, both are drawn back to Bayfront. Once home, the men are reluctant to deal with the elephant in the room. When Fallon, a childhood best friend emerges, nothing can tamp down the lust both men feel for her. They strive to do whatever it takes to get Fallon between the sheets.

Fallon has been best friends and in love with Devon and Morgan forever. She's been away from Bayfront attending to her mother and while away, she's done some restructuring of her life and body. When she returns to Bayfront to tend to her new business venture, she seeks out her childhood best friends. She's always wanted them sexually and would never be able to choose between them. She's dismayed that neither seem to notice her changes. But on the contrary, they have noticed her and go after her.

I loved Devon and Morgan. Both very confident but also vulnerable in their own ways. They are at a cross-roads knowing what ever way they go with this business deal could ruin their friendship forever. A serious talk was long overdue. When Fallon shows up, things click with the three of them-like old times with a twist! You could quickly see that there was no going back if they pursued her. They had to figure out if they could live without each other and her, and if they even wanted to. I liked how they worked through their struggles and insecurities. So often people think things will blow over by not talking through issues. These two proud men stayed away from each other for two years because they were afraid to talk about what happened. I liked how Fallon eased some of their anxiety about her expectations if they entertained a ménage with her.

The book grabbed me immediately and I read it straight through! Totally hot, Calista Fox knows how to write some steamy scenes! The Bayfront Billionaires is quickly becoming some of my favorite reads!

This is a super quick read that some will find stimulating. Others won't. It's a story about three friends, Morgan, Devon, and Fallon, who grew up together and eventually went separate ways for some known and some unknown reasons. Devon and Morgan came back for what was intended to be a short time to discuss the sale of their business. That is until Devon saw Fallon all grown up, really just a physical transformation, and decides maybe business can wait. Now he and Morgan must settle the conflict between them before a decision is made. Fallon shocks them both with a revelation regarding how she feels and it's up to the three of them to decide whether or not they can make it work.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fast-paced steamy ménage read. Morgan and Devon have been living on opposite coasts do to a ménage gone wrong but when business brings them back to Bayfront they run into their old childhood friend Fallon and she is all grown up. Great story and steamy read, I loved it!

Not really my cuppa.

Confession is a hot ménage with three interesting, layered characters. It may be short, but it packs a lot into its few pages. Fallon Carteris grew up as the daughter of a housekeeper for the Presley estate, in Bayfront, an enclave filled with mostly multi millionaires and billionaires a short distance from San Francisco. She's not a millionaire or a billionaire, though, but is an entrepreneur with her fledgling business of homemade soaps, lotions, etc. that she's trying to get featured at some of the high end spas and boutiques that litter Bayfront. Morgan Presley is one of two of her best friends. He's a broody, billionaire businessman who co owns the Bayfront club that Fallon now works, with Devon McMillan, Fallon's other best friend. Devon is the opposite of Morgan. He's an easy going, playful playboy billionaire. But, the two best friends who used to do everything together, have been living on opposite coasts, thanks to a threesome gone wrong a year ago. But now, an offer has come in for the Bayfront club and Devon is in town to present the offer to Morgan. When Devon sees Fallon serving at their club, he can't believe she's the same mousy little girl that he and Morgan had grown up loving, and protecting, as a best friend and sister. She's now a beautiful, curvy woman who has not just Devon's interest, but Morgan's too. Morgan cautions him against starting anything though, not the least because she is now their employee.

Neither Devon nor Morgan know, though, that Fallon has been in love with them since they were teenagers, and is determined to get them to notice her as more than a best friend or sister. She's hoping her new and improved appearance might entice them into one of those threesomes that they're well known for enjoying. She doesn't know that they're at odds, though, or that they don't want to infringe upon their now professional relationship. But, she's determined, and when she figures out that they're both interested in her, their relationship explodes in a good way.

Confession is hot, and I really enjoyed seeing the three of them sort through their feelings. Friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes and here it's done really well. I can't say I enjoyed it quite as much as Seduction, the first (I believe) of the Bayfront Billionaires series, but it's sexy and well written. If you like your ménages with hot billionaire alphas, then this is something you should have on your TBR list.

Confession by Calista Fox is her next installment in her Bayfront Billionaires novellas. Another menage a trois like the previous novella, Seduction, Ms. Fox brings the heat in spades just in time for Valentine's with her trio: Fallon, Devon, and Morgan.

Devon McMillon and Morgan Presley are best friends and business partners, however, one drunken night and a menage that almost crossed a forbidden line for the both of them as kept them on separate coasts for the past year and on uneasy ground in regards to their friendship. When an opportunity to sell the Bayfront Yacht Club, the one property still tying them together, appears as a way to move on from the past presents itself, Devon calls a meeting with Morgan at Bayfront. He's prepared to get in, get out, and move on. What he's not prepared for is Fallon Carteris, their childhood friend who has returned home a swan and wanting exactly what Devon and Morgan have been avoiding the past year confronting.

This novella is short but filled with plot and back story between the three main characters. Fallon, a virgin heroine who left Bayfront and completely made herself over in hopes of attracting her two childhood friends whom she's been attracted to since they were all younger. From the start, Fallon is bold and definitely knows what she wants. She is also not afraid to go after her men, even though she has moments of insecurity from when she was just the sidekick gal pal.

Overall, Confession by Calista Fox was an enjoyable erotic romance that fit the series well and I look forward to reading the next installment. I recommend.

(I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book I received from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.)

This novella was well-paced with engaging and enthralling characters. I loved the seductive risqué aspect of the story. As is often the case with a novella, the plot is rather limited and this is a fast read. I enjoyed the dynamic between the three characters as the story unfolded, their chemistry was all consuming.
Devon McMillan and Morgan Presley are childhood friends and business partners. They are at a crossroads, though, and are questioning the evolution of their partnership. Their best friend, Fallon Carteris, is back in their hometown, all grown up and looking scorching hot. They are both fascinated by her, her feistiness and her newly gained confidence. Fallon has fallen in love with both of them but felt that her unrequited love was moot. Even if she is their childhood friend, she wants them to see her as the striking woman she has become. She is intrigued by rumors about their sexual proclivities, but she isn’t sure a menage a trois would not be too emotionally overwhelming for her. She trusts them, though, and is willing to take a walk on the wild side with them.
Overall, I enjoyed this seductive and erotic novella, the sexy scenes were well-written and scorching hot.
I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher, via NetGalley.

Definitely a hot read. I love when a longtime friendship turns into a steamy romantic love story.

Another great story by the author. Two men, one woman, all childhood friends. Warning though, this might be everyone's cup of tea as it all about threesomes. Great characters with their own individual personalities that work out great in this story.

Annnnnddd the drama continues in the Bayfront Billionaire series. Calista gives us the story about Devon and Morgan's friendship and relationship. Devon has been living on the east coast and Morgan on the west. They were always around each other until things became too awkward in an event that had happened over a year ago. So what has these two alpha men at odd ends? Well my dear friends you will surely find out when you get into this book! (And it's kind of hot!)

This book is a M/F/M story, so you already have a clue in that the scenes and details described get hot and steamy. That is where our feisty sweetheart of the book comes in, Fallon. She has admired these two from afar and has been a long time gal pal. She is done with that type of relationship. She has heard the rumors about Devon and Morgan behind closed doors. Read this story and see this bold beauty work on her seduction of a lifetime! She definitely has been practicing for this role..hint hint.

If you need a hot sexy short read that will surely fog up your screen, Confessions is it for you! Read on my friends and don't forget to leave your review as well.

100 Shades of Sin...

Delicious and hot, the seductive Bayfront Billionaires need one thing, and one thing only: the woman made for them, the one woman on earth who can complete their trio of passion and desire.

Billionaire business partners Devon McMillan and Morgan Presley have spent the past two years on opposite coasts after nearly crossing a forbidden line during one of their steamier ménages. But when a tempting business offer brings them back to their hometown, something even more tempting will distract them both—their childhood best friend, Fallon Carteris. The years apart have done nothing to temper their scorching desire for her, and these billionaires will do whatever they can to bring her to their bed.

Fallon has never been able to decide which man she desires more, nor could she ever choose between them—and quickly learns she doesn’t have to. When Fallon confesses she’s always wanted the two men, they both pursue her. As the love triangle heats up, their emotions become as entangled as their bodies. But is their love strong enough to keep their threesome together?

Review:

If you are looking for a super quick, sexy, menage with a little valentine flavor this would be a good novella to pick up.

Another installment in the Bayfront Billionaires, where menage relationships seem to be the norm. This short, but well-written and rounded story are about three life long friends. Devon and Morgan who are opposites in temperament and Fallon who was kind of a wall flower growing up, but watch out now! She is out to get the men she always wanted and makes them realize they can overcome whatever obstacles get in their way.

3.5Stars

*I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book provided by the publisher.*

This novella sure brings heat to a whole new level! I have to admit that menages aren't really on the top of my list in what I enjoy in romance novels, but when done tastefully, they can definitely be hot and believe me when I say that Calista Fox sure knows how to do it.

Devon McMillan and Morgan Presley have been friends from birth. Their grandfathers are the founders of Bayfront and with looks and money to match their names, they are considered Bayfront royalty. Apart form their prestigious names, there is one more thing that Devon and Morgan are known for, and that is their penchant for threesomes. But ever since an awkward moment during their last threesome, the two friends have been drifting apart and trying to avoid one another. But when a lucrative offer is made to buy their yacht club, they find themselves back in Bayfront and having to face each other. Their reunion is made even more awkward when they see their chilhood friend Fallon Carteris working at their club and looking nothing like the plain Jane that they remember her to be.

Fallon has always had a crush on her two best friends. The two most popular guys in Bayfront, Fallon never thought that she would ever catch their eyes or be more to them than their plain and nerdy friend. But Fallon has turned a new page in her life and is determined to make them see her as a woman. A sexy and attractive woman. And when she hears the rumors about their certain kink, she is determined to be part of it.

I had enjoyed the previous novella of the series, but I have to admit that this was even hotter. I really wish that these books could be full length novels instead of novellas. It just doesn't feel enough! Can't wait to see who the next threesome will be in this enticing series?

This was a fast paced, short, steamy, sexy, lusty, and totally captivating menage that will leave you satisfied. It was a great way to spend a snowy afternoon. I am really enjoying this series and look forward to more.

This can be read as a standalone.

'Confession' by Calista Fox is book Three in the " Bayfront Billionaires". This is the story of Fallon, Devon, and Morgan. This is a Novella with about 110 pages also this can be a standalone book. Devon and Morgan were once very close but something has pulled them apart. Fallon was childhood friends with Devon and Morgan so she knows how much the share but to them she has always just been a friend. Fallon has been gone for a while and now is coming back to meet with them again. Devon and Morgan too have not seen each other in a while either. We watch as these three start to form their relationship back to something new. "My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read."

Fallon has always been a bit in love with Devon and Morgan. They see her as a friend, if a bit uninteresting, plain sort of friend. She’s left town for a few years, giving herself some time to grow, to change and perhaps to be certain of her decision. She’s always known that these two men share a friendship, a business and their women. She would never be able to pick one man over the other, and the thought of loving them both is a lure she no longer wants to deny. She may not have their experience, but she has enough passion to make up for that… and she wants then for keeps.

Morgan and Devon have come face to face for the first time in over a year. Their friendship is falling apart and one wants to put an end to their business partnership as well. One shared experience that crossed over a line, that’s all it took. Now Fallon comes back into their lives, a beautiful woman wanting what they could share together – can friends go beyond the past to something better in their future.

Confession is a fast paced, hot and steamy romance that delivers a sensual threesome. And a woman who knows exactly what and who she wants. Looking for some steam this evening? Pick up Confession.
