This book was hard for me to get into. It just didn't keep my attention.
Liv has a secret she has kept from the world. Only two other people know the secret because they shared in it. Now Tristan and Nate are back in town and they want a repeat performance with the only woman made for them.
Liv is home in Bayfront for THE wedding and when Nate and Tristan show up things start falling into place. They had a tryst years ago and have kept in touch and the chemistry flares just as bright now they are back together. The problem is Liv has been making plans to jump start a new career. With Nate and Tristan moving back to Bayfront will this put an end to them getting together? Never fear, there is always a way when love is involved.
I think I enjoyed this one the best of all the Bayfront books and recommend it the most.

What if everything you wanted in your personal life and professional life was finally coming true at the same time BUT you had to choose? Would you choose love or would you choose your career?
A sexy menage that has other menage couples in it. This is the first book that I've read from this author and will definitely be looking at this series. It's sexy, hot, not over the top, has friendship and love. All of the characters are very likable and I didn't want to smack any of them. Winning!!! lol
I was rooting for Liv to have her cake and eat it too. I mean Nate AND Tristan are everything she can want. They know her, know what she likes and knows how to give it to her. They would do anything to make her theirs and will prove it to her. Will she make the right choice for her? Read it and find out!!
Addiction is the fifth installment of the Bayfront Billionaires by Calista Fox.
I enjoyed Addiction. Tristan and Nate are really good friends, but aren’t completely compatible that you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. Even though these two had it rough in school being the nerds, they did well for themselves in the long run. Liv was the popular girl in school turned actress. Eve though this was a quick book, I felt like it was on repeat. The lack of confidence wasn’t appealing and I wish they didn’t continue to dwell about past experiences. However, aside from when they re-hashed the past, I found the connection between all three of them great.
I would recommend reading the whole series since you might get a better understanding of the characters who make an appearance.
Hooks you from the beginning and keeps you wanting more with every page you turn. Really brilliant book with great characters who you want them to get there HEA. Can't wait for more by this author and would recommend to everyone
'Addiction' by Calista Fox is book Five in the " Bayfront Billionaires" Series. This is the story of Liv Tyner, Nate Dalton and Tristan Reeves. I have read the other books in this series but feel this is easily a standalone book. Also know that this is a Novella with around 100 pages.
Liv, Nate and Tristan had a one night stand a little while back that neither could put behind them. Now Nate and Tristan are back to claim the women that neither could move past. Liv was not able to forget them and always fantasied about them after that night.
Ms. Fox books are some Sweet, Hot Reads that you find are your secret passion in reading.

If you want to know all about the other couples you'll have to read their stories and it might go better if you did. This started and ended on the slow side for me, it couldn't hold my attention at all. I've read many manage a tre romances and haven't had one like this. I also couldn't get past the rich girl attitude of Liv even if she don't see someone for their stock worth but as a person, but her actions speak $$ she don't buy anything that's not on sale or cheaper but Prada, Goochie, and so one. I did like it that the main characters had a history together since middle school. But this one wasn't for me.

Synopsis:
Everyone loves a secret…
Liv Tyner has an ultra-sexy one she’s been keeping all to herself. A sinfully delicious, forbidden secret that has inspired endless fantasy material late into her lonely nights. But when that secret is suddenly staring her in the face—in the form of two fantastically built and wildly successful men—not only does Liv have trouble keeping her one-time-only love triangle under wraps, she also longs for a repeat performance.
Step-brothers Nate Dalton and Tristan Reeves have built a global communications empire that laid the groundwork for their ten-year homecoming to Bayfront. But more important than success is winning the love of the one woman neither has gotten off his mind or out of his system no matter how much time and distance spans between them—sensational and highly addictive Liv Tyner!
As a slow seduction begins and all their juicy secrets are revealed, can these star-crossed lovers find themselves in the right place, at the right time, to make a more permanent love connection?
My Thoughts:
This is the first time I have read this author and this series. Each book can be read as a standalone. This was a fast-paced book about childhood friends that have grown up to be successful adults that had a steamy affair for a weekend in France five years ago. It’s their secret and their feelings have not waned since that weekend.
Nate and Tristan have always had feelings for Liv, but they are both wanting to start a serious relationship with her now that they have decided to return to their home town to start an extension of their multimillion dollar business. They are going to be approaching Liv with their proposal after their friend’s wedding that they are all involved in.
Liv has always had a special place in her heart for the step-brothers, but didn’t realize how deep those feelings ran until the weekend in France. She has wondered if it could be possible to have a long-term relationship with them like her hometown friends have with their own polyamorous relationships. The only problem is they live in London and she lives in a town outside of San Francisco. She has no idea the step brothers have a scheme up their sleeves.
Will Liv, Nate and Tristin work out their differences to make their love work? You are going to have to read the book to find out!
If you want a quick, hot, ménage series, give this book a try! A fun steamy read by the pool!

I've enjoyed each of the stories so far in the Bayfront Billionaires series. I also enjoyed getting to know Liv, Nate, and Tristan. The three of them had freaking off the charts chemistry and I was completely shocked to discover they had only been together once years ago. The three had pretty much been best friends from the moment they met in school and even their one encounter in Paris had not changed them being best friends.
I did feel like the story was a bit rushed. Yes we had sexy times with Liv and Nate, Liv and Tristan, and then Liv, Nate, and Tristan, but it was more rushed than in the other stories in the series. I knew they had geography against them initially from them all being able to stay together, and absolutely loved the each looked for a way to make it work to get to the same location. I loved they all wanted to be in Bayfront since it was really home. I would have liked to see the three of them spend a bit more time together to feel like they could actually make everything work. I did love the romance between them all, just wanted the story to be less rushed.
Rating 4 Stars (B-)
Tame compared to the other one I've read under this series, but it was still a good read
Even though this is part of a series, this can be read as a stand alone,this was a great story and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I received an advanced copy and I voluntarily leave my own honest opinion
Another fast paced novella in the Bayfront Billionaire's series! It's steamy and full of sexual tension as two friends return home to claim the one that got away! Must be okay with menage!!
Liv Tyner has been enjoying life while she remembers a pleasurable time in Paris five years ago fondly. She's celebrating a friends marriage and catching up with old pals just before she plans a jaunt across the country to start a new chapter in her life. She's pleasantly surprised by two of the wedding guests that show up ... and quickly sweep her off her feet!
Step-brothers Nathaniel Dalton and Tristan Reeves have been living the high life while they have built a global empire for the last few years, but they too fondly remember their joint time in Paris with Liv. When they see her on their return to Bayfront after all these years, it's like it was yesterday! The three of them catch up and quickly start devouring each other again. The guys are thinking about forever ... but Liv has a commitment on the other side of the country! Will she decide to stick around, or will she have two hunky men following after her?
I do love a Menage, they are my weakness and this, as always, was H.O.T! There are lots of characters to try to keep up with but, if you've read the previous books, you'll manage.
This is Liv's story. She is trying to fight her attraction to her childhood friends; who happen to be step brothers, Nate and Tristan. I just love the whole idea of this part of the world, where everything is so decadent and completely non-judgmental; that people can have everything their hearts desire. What a perfect life that would be. It's so nice to step in to the lives of the super-rich and imagine yourself to be the lucky lady that, not one, but TWO sexy men want. The sheer luxury is painted so vividly that you feel you are joining the gang in their lives. What more could you ask for in a book?
The total love and devotion these people give each other, as lovers and friends, is phenomenal. You can feel it seeping out of the, Chanel scented pages. This is Liv's story. She is trying to fight her attraction to her childhood friends; who happen to be step brothers, Nate and Tristan.
Oh and you might consider buying a fan with this book….the sex is sizzling.
I've tried reading this author before but her characters just don't resonate with me. The story in this installment didn't grab me from the start. I didn't feel the chemistry between the characters.
Liz is an actress and singer. She lives in Bayfront, a close community that she loves. She is in between projects, helping her friend get ready for the wedding of the year when she sees an ostentatious yacht in the harbor.She quickly realizes that Nathan and Tristan are the owners of the yacht and in Bayfront. These two men have been her best friend since school. Two men she has loved with all of her heart for most of her life. Two men that she has a threesome with while in France 5 years ago. Two men she has never forgotten. Nate and Tristan are ecstatic to be back in the states for the first time.in years and, even happier to be where Liz is. The woman they have both loved for years. The woman they had a spectacular threesome with 5 years ago. Something they have never forgotten. Liz and her men think that they can finally make a relationship because, the men are moving their main business to the west coast and Liz, because she's decided to start a real singing career on the east coast, just across the pond from London, where her men are based. Things become very confusing and difficult when they actually start talking about developing the type of forever relationship they all want. This story is heartwarming, loving and, a true testament about the vital importance of communication and the all around willingness to bend when your happiness depends on the decisions you make.
This was a good story. I just have to remember it is a novella because I always wish there was more to the story.
Another fabulous book in the Bayfront series. I liked the Nate, Tristan and Liv all had a backstory and they have know each other for years. Another quick but great read. I hope there are more in this series.
Liv Tyner may be THAT girl. You know the one that seems to have it all. An actress, stunning beauty, and media darling. It wouldn't be far from the truth to say that Liv is a woman who has the world in her palm.
But Liv is also a woman with a secret.
A secret guaranteed to bring a blush to her checks and make her heart race. A secret that she shares with only two others.
The two men who for one night laid claim to her body. The two men who may have forever laid claim to her heart.
Stepbrothers Nate Dalton and Tristan Reeves have come a long way from the geeky boys that they were in high school. Now they bear more of a resemblance to Greek gods, than to the shy, tech savvy teens that they once were. Now they even have the billionaire bank accounts to match.
The one thing that the two billionaire bros have not been able to leave behind?
Their shared feelings for a certain popular beauty.
That one popular girl who dared to look past their awkward exteriors.
The one girl destined to be the friend of their youth, and after a torrid night in Paris during college; so much more.
Calista Fox and her Bayfront Billionaires series are back, and the menage magic is as salacious as ever.
With the only paired couple of the bunch,Chloe Lockhart and John McDermott prepping to race down the isle and headlong into wedded bliss. The stage has been more than set for the globe-trotting threesome featured in this read to find their way back home, and to each other.
Addiction is the story that is that perfect blend of sweet and sexy. Blending the innocent past shared by the three friends in high school. A secret tryst that none are able to forget. A desire so strong enough to change futures.
Actual Rating: 4.5 Stars
Every aspect of this book seems to build on the one before. From the homecoming to the meeting. The revelations to the expressions of their passions.
The one thing that falls flat however, is the easy with which the central conflict is solved. Because said conflict acts as a major point of dramatic tension for so much of the read. To have it resolved inn such a neat and tidy way is anticlimactic, to say the least.
