I voluntarily read an advanced reviewers copy of this book

Now I must admit that I was into the book and then it lost more for a second but once I got to know all three characters I was really into it. I loved the moments where the characters had to make those big decisions that would tear any normal relationship apart and enjoyed seeing exactly how they work through the indecision and possible heartache.

Overall this book was pretty good. It was my favorite of the Billionaire series.

This book didn't do it for me. I liked the sex scenes and the suspense element, but I wasn't in love with the writing.
It seemed off & weird word choices.

Who does not want a sexy, smooth city billionaire or a rugged, caring cowboy billionaire? And together? Yes please! Michael and Sam are so hot separately and smoldering together. I loved how this story played out. We met Scarlet in the previous billionaire books. This mystery of the art theft has been building in each story. And to watch it unravel was genius. I love how the relationship was built between the three and how the mystery was solved. Great story telling by Calista Fox once again!

Two hot heroes, one sexy insurance investigator. She's trying to find answers but keeps coming up with more questions that the family doesn't want to answer.

This book is hot as hades!! Loved the suspense, trying to figure out who did it - I had no idea at first!! This author is definitely on my one click list!

I received an ARC copy from Netgalley for my honest review

The billionaires : The Stepbrothers
Was an amazing read .

I was happy with the steamy scenes and I loved the honesty that the couple shared.

Scarlett Drake is an insurance fraud investigator specialized in cold cases worth millions. She is investigating an art theft that has never been solved, potentially involving Michael Vandenberg, a real estate mogul, and his stepbrother, Sam Reed. Michael is intense, enigmatic and seems able to draw Scarlett into his seduction game from the get-go. To unravel the case and demonstrate fraudulent intents, she has to get close to him and his brother. Scarlett’s guts tell her there is more to the story than a theft. To make matters more complex, the case becomes very personal. Michael is ruthless and his bad boy attitude with a very sweet side mesmerizes Scarlett. Sam is emotionally scarred and she is smitten with his caring, sensitive nature. She finds herself attracted to the two men at the same time and can’t avoid getting personally involved with them.

I was captivated by this wicked and suspenseful tale of seduction, with Calista Fox’s signature eloquent writing and riveting storytelling. The sexual tension was just right and the love scenes were incredibly hot. This author has a knack for writing sensual scenes. I was really interested in the plot, with lots of intricacies. Each character in this story was intriguing and stands alone very nicely, they are bold and interesting. If you enjoy elegantly written menage stories with a suspenseful twist, I definitely recommend this book. It is the third installment in the Lover’s Triangle series, but can be read as a standalone.

WOW! This was an amazing read. Hot, suspenseful and well written. This author was new to me. I can’t wait to read more from her.

Damn. Give me a minute or 20 to fan myself. I’ve just finished reading The Billionaires: The Stepbrothers and it was H.O.T. I love a good ménage story and this one was also a bit of a romantic suspense too . . . my second favorite trope!

Sam and Michael are prime suspects in Scarlet’s art theft investigation. Scarlet as the big bad insurance fraud investigator—smart as a whip, gorgeous and willing to do whatever it takes to solve the problem. Michael is the aloof “Wolf of Wall Street”—a self-made man who happened to grow up with a silver spoon in his mouth. Smart, sexy, and a brilliant businessman, Michael is also willing to do whatever it takes to solve a problem. And in the middle, is Sam. Michael’s stepbrother—the brother who Michael barely knows, but loves regardless. Devilishly handsome Sam is busy running his world-renowned ranch, in the wilds of Montana.

And yet, the three of them can’t deny the heat and sexual chemistry between them. Can and will they make it to their happily ever after once all the truths are out in the open?

I loved the relationship between Scarlet, Michael and Sam. I loved the openness and honesty that they shared—even when it hurt the most. Their romance was intense, hot and sexy and I couldn’t read The Billionaires: The Stepbrothers fast enough to see just how things unfolded!

Scarlett is an insurance fraud investigator trying to learn more about some stolen artwork. Michael is a suspect as well as his stepbrother Sam. The attraction between the three is steamy and they begin a ménage affair but when secrets are revealed will it be to much? Steamy chemistry and great characters I really liked this read. The story held my interest and I liked the characters an entertaining and steamy read.

4 1/2 STARS!

A sizzling connection takes us on a decadent ride in Calista Fox's latest Lover's Triangle installment! We've previously met Scarlet in her two best friend's stories, so we're not surprised to see her tough persona as an insurance fraud investigator. We get to enjoy her surprise at meeting not one, but TWO men who get her motor running with almost instantaneous combustion! The characters each have an interesting story all on their own that makes the plot thick with intrigue, and watching them all interact is super sexy! Really enjoyed the 3rd book in the series!

Scarlet Drake is dotting her i's and crossing her t's as she follows up on a decade old insurance payout in a stolen art case. She isn't taking no for an answer when it comes to re-interviewing all of the key players involved, she just doesn't expect to feel an instant attraction to not one, but two of the suspects!

Step-brothers Michael Vandenberg and Sam Reed don't want any part of talking to an investigator and they both are dead set on ignoring her until she makes it impossible by showing up directly in front of each of them and making them tell their side. She ends up believing them ... and gives in to mouth-watering desire to share in an unforgettable night of menage in their bed! When secrets are exposed will they be able to forgive the part she plays in ruining their fairytale family?

Calista Fox knows how to write menage romance for the grown and sexy. Scarlett Drake is a relentless investigator hot on the trail of a $18 million art theft. And "hot" is the operative word. Billionaires Michael Vandenburg and Sam Reed decide to entertain themselves with Scarlett Drake, an insurace fraud investigator. All three of them are more interest in the each other than the theft however.
The Billionaires: Stepbrothers is a slick mystery romance with dirty sizzling sex between the stepbrothers and Scarlett. An elaborate cat and mouse seduction, Scarlett finds herself on dangerous ground professionally and personally. To say they heat up the pages is an understatement . Like a game of chess, they balance love, trust, deception and betrayal.
Scarlett Drake makes a spectacular entrance into Michael and Sam's life. She is one tough gun carrying Krav Maga cookie. She is not afraid to ask for what she wants in and out of the bedroom. The dialogue around the sex scenes are totally erotic and it burns into your imagination. Michael and Sam have perfected the skill of pleasuring a woman together. There are subtle differences between them to make the chemistry combustible. Michael is the king of "dirty talk" and knows how to seduce a woman with words and make your body sing. His sexy talk will make your toes curl. Sam is more the chivalrous and gentlement lover who has known loss and wants to savor the connection between him and Scarlett.
I am totally in love with this book cover. The book cover is sexy and understated. Unlike the steamy words between the pages of this scorching hot read. While the sex is sizzling - it is a Calista Fox menage afterall, the emotional depth makes this one a don't miss reading experience. The writing is fabulous, bold and flaming hot. At first glance it seems the story is all about three people indulging in their kink. However, there is much more emotional depth to the overall story. A happy ending with dirty olives. Make mine a double! All puns intended.......

Passionate, sexy and full of action. This is one menage story carries out the promised chemistry and sizzle right to the very end. Michael, Sam and Scarlet are mysterious and chock full of surprises. Did they steal the art? Are they responsible for the theft? Or will Scarlet discover that they are not involved?

The Billionaires: The Stepbrothers
Book #3

Review copy provided by the publisher

This book started out with a bang. It was sultry and sexy from the get go. The steam between Michael and Scarlet was hot. And then when Michael's stepbrother, Sam, was introduced into the mix...wow! My love for this book ends here. It had such promise and then it took a nose dive.

Scarlet is investigating a possible insurance fraud. During her investigation she falls fast and hard for Sam and Michael.

By the time I hit about half way through the book, I started to get bored. The suspense aspect wasn't thrilling me anymore. It felt like it was dragging on and not really adding to the story. I wanted more time with the three main characters building the relationship. The chemistry that I picked up on at the beginning started to fade. It kinda left me not caring anymore.

The ending was meh at best, and the epilogue was inadequate. It just didn't feel like it was finished. I wanted to love this book, and I thought I would because I was so into it at the beginning, but it fell short. This is book three in the series, but I don't think you need to have read the first two follow along.

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 menage 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...

Review;

This is the third book in the Lover's Triangle series. This series so far has featured three friends (Jewel, Bayli and Scarlet) and their unconventional love arrangement's. This series and this book features/mentions many of the people, places and happenings from the Bayfront series. Though you do not have needed to read those to enjoy this book.

This is the story of Scarlet and the stepbrothers; Michael and Sam. Scarlet is investigating an insurance fraud claim having to do with Michael and Sam's family. Scarlet hounds Michael's every step until they finally meet and sparks fly from there. When she does not get the answers she needs from Michael she seeks out Sam and more sparks fly.

This was an excellent story! From the other series and books, it felt as though I already knew this trio and had a vested interest in them. It is intensely sexy, but really has a lot of heart to the story. There is a little mystery and suspense, as Scarlet comes to learn the truth about Sam's father and her safety is threatened. There are some surprises and twists in this story. This like the other books in the series is about a ménage relationship if this is not your thing, then this may not be the book for you. I am not sure if there are any more books in this series coming, as the three friends have each had their story, but I hope it does continue.

I received this as a ARC on Netgalley for my honest review.

You will not want to pout this book down until you've finished it. I can't wait to read more in this series and by this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance readere copy of this book

If you want a book with a lot of sex scenes then you will enjoy this book. Scarlet is an insurance fraud investigator on a cold case regarding the 20 million dollar art theft from the Vandenburg estate. After 2 months of trying to interview Michael she discovers upon their meeting, that they share an amazing chemistry. That's a problem since Scarlett needs to keep her focus on this investigation and not on Michael. Michael answers questions that he never thought he would discuss with anyone because he can't stay away from Scarlet. Sam, Michael's stepbrother, is a rancher in Wyoming, far from New York.. When he ends up rescuing Scarlett from her crashed SUV, they end up snowed in for a while and, Sam is also fascinated by Scarlett. He also finds himself answering questions he never thought he would answer. This is a complex case, as is the relationship between Scarlett, Michael and Sam.

I really liked that Ms. Fox established the relationships between Scarlett, Sam, and Michael individually before they come together. This story is a suspenseful, sexy romance with quite a few twists and turns around the mystery that Scarlett is trying to solve. Plus there are definitely lots of hot sexy times as well as intimate moments that help the reader fall for and understand these characters. I recommend this book to other readers and am looking forward to the next book in this series.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Rating 4.5

I have been a fan of Calista Fox's The Billionaires series from the get-go and I have to say each book is better than the last. The Stepbrothers has it all - romance, suspense, and a great mystery all this is driven by solid main characters who I fell in love with.

The story is told from Scarlett's POV - an insurance fraud investigator who is looking into a multi-millionaire dollar settlement that was awarded to the Vanderburg family. As part of her investigation, she needs to interview Michael Vanderburg and his stepbrother Sam Reed both irresistible handsome that stirs something in Scarlett that she has never felt before. The bigger question is how does she separate her feelings from doing her job especially when she and the men embark on a relationship together. We do get great cameos of Bayli and Jewel which is great for the readers and perfect people to help Scarlett navigate what it means to be in a menage relationship.

What I really loved about Stepbrothers is the time Ms Fox takes to establish the relationships between Scarlett, Sam, and Michael individually before they come together. The story is great with quite a few twists and turns around the mystery that Scarlett is trying to solve. Of course, this being a Calista Fox book the sexy times are hot but there are a lot of intimate moments that help the reader care for these characters. If I had one complaint it would be I would have liked a little more at the end on what compromises this trio will make to move their relationship move forward, I just wanted to know a little more.

All in all, this is a fantastic ending to a great trilogy, I cant wait to see what Ms Fox has coming up next.

Scarlet is an insurance fraud investigator who is investigating the cold case of a 20 million dollar art theft from the Vandenburg estate. She tries for 2 months to interview Michael. and, when they finally meet, the chemistry is instant! That's a problem when Scarlett MUST keep her focus on this investigation! Michael finds himself answering questions from this woman that he never thought he would discuss with anyone because he can't stay away from her. Sam, Michael's stepbrother, is a rancher in Wyoming, far from New York.. When he ends up rescuing Scarlett from her crashed SUV, they end up snowed in for a while and, Sam is also fascinated by Scarlett and, finds himself answering questions he never thought he would answer! This is an exceedingly complicated case, along with an exceedingly complicated relationship between Scarlett, Michael and Sam. You won't want to put this one down!

Scarlet is a smart, strong, determined investigator. When she sets out to uncover what happened to her clients 18 million dollars, she never expected to become attracted to two very sexy men. Michael, the Wolf of Wall Street and the Huntsman, his sexy step brother Sam, have nothing to hide and everything to gain when they both want Scarlet in their bed. But as she digs deeper into this mystery, questioning them and their family, her life becomes in danger. Can Scarlett trust these sexy men who bring her the most pleasure she has ever had, or will the investigation cause her to lose not only them but her life as well? This suspenseful, sexy romance has several twists and turns that will have you guessing to the end. I really liked Scarlet, Michael, and Sam, they had their own distinctive personalities that blended perfectly together making them a perfect match. I really enjoyed this well crafted, sexy romance and the mystery that kept me engaged from start to finish.
