Received ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

I’ve read a few of Calista Fox “ménage” stories & this one is a favorite. Loved all three main characters - Michael & Sam are stepbrothers & Scarlett is an insurance investigator sent to solve an art theft involving their family before the statute of limitations for prosecuting the crime occurs.

There are a lot of twists & turns in the story - not one I expected ...

Scarlett is a very strong independent women - successful at her job but basically a loner - no relationships - no giving her heart away to love.

Sam has had his heart broken losing his fiancé & unborn son in a terrible car accident. His relationships afterwards have mostly been no strings attached physical relationships. Not letting anyone ever get close ...

Michael is the more dominent of the two brothers - again never having long term relationships. Scarlett tracks him down first for questioning & the sparks start flying immediately .,,

I was intregued by the story & the crime as well as the relationship between the 3 characaters ! Ends in a HEA ❤️

Lovers Triangle series by Calista Fox brings up the heat when it comes to ménage relationships. I have been reading this series and was excited to dive into this book!

Scarlet is perfect as the heroine of this book. She is strong and independent just like the other woman in the previous books of this series. She has a big job to finish, but gets captured by two hot stepbrothers, Michael and Sam. Physically she comes and goes as she pleases, but her heart strings tug towards these men. Before she knows it she is tangled with the two and is trying so hard to read in between the blurred lines.

I enjoyed reading The Billionaires: The Stepbrothers and knew you would get nothing but yummy sexy times and hot as hell romance. But are the two stepbrothers in it for love? Or are they using the lust to keep Scarlet away from the truth? A little drama in the mix makes it the perfect chemistry with these books! Believe me, you want to read this book!

Scarlett has a case to solve, but then she meets Michael and Sam. Wow, just comes to my mind as we get involved in their relationship. This is a great novel filled with suspense, love, and compassion. I really enjoyed reading this book. I can't wait to read more from this author.

Calista Fox
5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent story!!! Calista Fox is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to see what she writes next.
This story draws you right in and you can’t ever find a place to stop because you want to keep reading to find out what happens next. I love books that incorporate a little bit of suspense with some super sexy drama.
Thanks NetGalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

Great story! Wish the author could have extended the ending, but it all worked out in the end. Highly recommend reading the book. :)

Scarlet has here eyes set on Michael to proof he stole a prized art collection. Michael’s sex appeal is throwing Scarlet into a tangled mess with Michael’s stepbrother Sam. Both are different but equally handsome and both want Scarlet. She never dreamed of having a ménage, especially not with these two. Often, the hear wants something else and so their romance begins in the middle of her investigation.
A great book, chemistry is off the charts. Enjoy!

The story is good and the characters are strong and charismatic. I do think there could have been a little more with Sam’s family (don’t want to give too much away). I also would have liked to have known more of the outcome of Scarlet solving her case. What ended up being the consequences?

This one was okay. I read the others in the series, and this one is probably the least angst driven. There is a blackmailing subplot that kind of feels like it was shoehorned in, but it's okay.

A first by this author for me.
I enjoyed the storyline and the emotions shown by the characters.
I'm just not certain it's for me. It was well written and showed some depth.

Really hot menage story with mystery set around it. I loved all the twists at the end.

Insurance investigator finally gets to interview an art robbery suspect, but she finds him so hot she can’t think straight. And he knows it, using the control she’s given him to get her into bed while convincing her he’s innocent. So she goes to interview his stepbrother and, guess what, same thing happens.
As would be expected, after she sleeps with them separately there are times when both have her together. If it was just about the sex it would be relatively easy to write, but when she’s in love with both and wants a threesome relationship it’s a lot harder. Happy to say this writer pulled it off pretty well, as well as making a good mystery. The parallels of the car accidents and subsequent survivors’ guilt was well done.
Enjoyed this thoroughly. I’m predisposed to liking the lead because I love redheads, but the guys were better than most in this genre and the plot was enjoyable. Just one question: what happened to the puppy during that first night. . .?

Entertaining, kept me interested. I liked the blend of mystery, suspense and smoking hot chemistry between Scarlet, Michael and Sam. I appreciated the fact that she was able to connect with each man on a different level (Sam was more of the emotional connection, Michael was more the physical), but that somehow brought balance to their arrangement.

If you love a good mystery, stolen art this is the book for you! Did I mention the sizzling hot threesomes? No? Have a tall glass of ice water ready ladies....you'll need it!

I liked that Scarlet meet both men separately and feel in love with them that way, then together. I liked the story behind her investigation. I liked how this book rounded out the 3 friends and how they each found their soul mates. I did still have questions at the end of this book even with the epilogue. I did really enjoy this book and look forward to more stories from Calista.

I loved reading this book! I truly fell in love with these characters. The love the brothers share with Scarlet is strong and undeniable! I loved the way the family accepted her even after confronting their truths! I would love to continue on with their story and see what comes next!

Steamy ménage contemporary romance. The connection between Scarlet and Michael and Sam were off the charts HOT.

Scarlet and Michael's hook-up was a pure lust connection whereas her encounter with Sam felt more meaningful in terms of emotions. Sam is an intense man still wrought with feelings from a loss. Scarlet is enamoured by his kindness and generous heart. On the other hand, Michael is just downright sinfully sexy and pushes Scarlet's buttons.

Scarlet is feisty and independent, yet lonely as a result of safeguarding her heart. She is strongly drawn to Michael and Sam; she makes no bones about wanting them both however her investigation into their family may put a damper on any romantic involvement.

It is nice to have some intrigue in the story, not that this story needed any spicing up.

I will definitely be reading Books 1 and 2 in this series.

What a fun, hot, steamy romance. I absolutely loved Michael, Sam and Scarlet together. Their chemistry is scorching hot. I am never disappointed when I read one of Calista Fox’s books.

Calista Fox never disappoints with her ménage series and The Lover's Triangle is the best one yet! Having read all the books in the series I knew book three, The Billionaires: The Stepbrothers, was going to be stellar, and Calista Fox delivered!! 

Scarlet Drake is an insurance fraud investigator tracking down the details on a cold art collection case. She goes toe to toe with real estate magnate Michael Vandenberg and his stepbrother horse rancher, Sam Reed. Both are considered suspects in the art disappearance, and Scarlet is determined to get to the bottom of it.  What she wasn't counting on is the sizzling connection she has with not only one man, but both! Before you know it, Scarlet is in up to her neck in secrets and seductive nights. Can she sort through all the facts and get to the truth??

This is one of those series that you just fall in love with.  Three best friends and three ménage relationships! By the time Scarlet's story rolls around, she isn't shocked by what her best friends Jewel and Bayli have told her about their relationships.  How things evolve is true story telling though! Twists and turns galore!! I loved how the three girls jump back in forth throughout the entire series helping each other! It makes it that much more cohesive! Calista Fox has a knack with her books and she is a master of the menage!  The women are strong in their own right, and their men compliment each one perfectly! It doesn't hurt that each man is successful and gorgeous either!  Every book can be read as a stand alone, but I would advise to start from the beginning. You'll want to see the friendship that is unwavering throughout and how each woman's relationship with two men is right for her!

This is not your typical menage story. Yes you have three individuals involved in each others lives and sexy times, but more than that you have good start to a decent story. I was pleasantly surprised by how mid story after getting familiar (not a connection) with the characters , that this book wasn't just about their relationship. That this book had some sustenance to it. The story definitely had me surprised as to the who what and why of the theft ! I really liked all the characters I just wish we had formed more of a connection with them but sadly the story didn't allow that.
It just seemed unfinished in all aspects of this book, like it needed a little more tweaking and editing. It has potential to be a good book just needs some more work. 2.5 stars
