This is Book 2 in the "A bayfront Billionaire" Series and I liked it. This short novella was well written though I didn't feel connected to the plot until the second part of the story. Jax and Lex are hot billionaires and they decide that they want to have Lily on their bed. The sex scenes are short and hot. I enjoyed this read, maybe I would have liked it was a little bit longer!

Wow! Super steamy menage! What a treat! I was enjoying the story so much then it was over! I am a sucker for Billionaires and I love menage stories so I wanted much, much more!

Lily takes a temporary job as a live-in butler for two famous musicians. She needs the money to fulfill her dream of a trip to Paris and the continent. She wasn't expecting both men to be so handsome and for her reactions to each one. She's expected to be at their beck and call and soon she's the meat in the middle of a hot boy sandwich!

Jax and Lex are collaborating on a new CD in honor of their late girlfriend. Things aren't going as smoothly as they would like. Something is missing. Until they meet their new butler, Lily. Beautiful and passionate, they know she's the muse they didn't know they were seeking. Pretty soon, Lily is caught in their web of seduction. And it's exactly where she wants to be. Until her time with them is ending and feelings are hurt. Can the three make things work and grab onto what they so foolishly are casting aside??

Seduction is a novella set in the Bayfront Billionaire series. Although it was a little slow to start, I enjoyed the build just the same. Both Jax and Lex are alpha males and are skilled in seducing women. I felt their heartache for their ex, but also felt they needed to move on since it's been seven years after her death. I don't think they ever dealt with it so their feelings just kept bubbling to the surface. Lily was strong throughout and I felt she really enjoyed helping the guys complete their dedication CD-even though she was jealous of a dead ex at times. I was glad she didn't waiver on her Europe dream too. All three were good together and I really wanted them to finally talk, clear the air, and go for broke! An engaging read!

Seduction is a short ménage between famous music artist Lex, Jax and their housemaid Lily. It is quick read but never the less story has its interesting plot and well develop character that are interesting and each of them carry their own story. Both Jax and Lex are very attractive and of course Lily is not blind to their attraction but she fights it off because the job is very important to her. Jax and Lex both see the beauty of Lily and all of the sudden their composing and music become better. It doesn’t take long that their attraction escalate.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgelly

There was no arc of development or conflict.

This was a super quick read and a first time read for me of this author. While this was a steamy read this was a bit cliché in the Cinderella sense of the billionaire/servant theme of the story line. The characters had issues and in places I felt that the plot dragged a bit. Overall this was just an okay book for me.

I not read this author before, and I was selected to read this book. I am not sure if i would have picked it for myself, but to be given a copy to read i found my self enjoying it more then i thought i would.

I enjoyed the writing and the characters the story was strong and not as predictable as you might seem.

Umm, like hot. Good story. Interesting romance and plot.

A different spin on the billionaires and menage scenario. Liked the interplay and the female Butler role in the book.

Seduction: A Bayfront Billionaire Novella was the first book I'd read by Calista Fox. I really enjoyed her voice and liked trying a new author in a novella.

Overall I really enjoyed Seduction. I liked the sexual tension between Lily, Jax, and Lex, and found myself hoping they could make their relationship work. I also like each of the characters as individuals. Lily is a super strong woman working in a male dominated profession as a butler. Jax and Lex are both super talented musicians and composers who are working on a tribute album to their former lover Katarina, but finding all their inspiration from Lily. While Lex and Jax hadn't shared a woman since Katarina, I knew their mutual attraction to Lily and her's to them would lead to some super sexy times together.

The length of time Jax and Lex were working on the album was relatively short, yet I felt like their relationship with Lily was fully developed. The three of them together worked in a way they couldn't have worked if it was just Lily with either Jax or Lex. I found the love scenes steamy and enjoyed the progression of the quickly developing relationship.

Seduction was an enjoyable sexy and emotional story. With it being a novella length story, it was a fast read, yet it didn't feel rushed at all to me, and I recommend this story and and engaging read.

Seduction
Release Date: January 10, 2017
The Bayfront Billionaires series book #2
Review copy provided by the publisher

I typically avoid novellas. I don't feel like I get a whole solid story and things seem rushed. So I went into this novella with a bit of skepticism. I was pleasantly surprised!

Lily is a butler for highly regarded and talented classical music artists, Jax and Lex. She's at their beck and call all day long. She's hoping to secure enough money with this gig to make her dreams of traveling to Europe for an extended time come true. What she didn't anticipate is falling hard for Jax and Lex.

Jax and Lex are still haunted by the loss of a woman they both loved. They haven't been able to compose any meaningful music, or so they think, since her death. But when Lily enters their lives, she's just the muse they needed!

I loved the slow tantalizing burn of the three of them together. They didn't just hit the sheets at the first sign of lust. Jax and Lex romanced her and made her feel special. All three were carrying their respective baggage but there was a ton of chemistry sparking that none of them could ignore.

I really enjoyed getting to know these characters. The heroes were a bit dark and broody. Lily was spunky and fun, and kept the story from getting too heavy. The love scenes were spicy and yummy; it was a ménage after all!

While this book takes place in a short time frame, I really enjoyed how it all came together. I never felt like I was missing any pieces. If you're looking for something steamy and entertaining that you can gobble up in a short time frame, you should totally read this book!

I was given ARC copy for review by Netgalley and Loveswept.
Liliana Hart is starting a new job as a lady-Butler for two international musicians .
Jackson Sterling and Lexington Alexander are in need of a butler and more!
Did Lily sign on for more than the lady-Butler. The question is what???

This was a good read for me, it is a fast paced read with great chemistry between the characters. Lily is the new butler for two world famous musicians and is attracted to them both, which is not a problem for Jax and Lex. A good story and with some steamy scenes. I liked it.

I wasn't quite sure how I would feel about Seduction when I first heard about. I had never read any of the author's previous works, but I wanted to give this novella a go because I love the violin. To me, it is a very seductive and romantic instrument. So the idea of Jax and Lex luring Lily with their music called out to my orchestra loving heart. Honestly, I really enjoyed the novella. While the attraction is strong from the start, it takes a bit for each of the characters to be comfortable with the chemistry. Jax and Lex are still healing from a previous shared relationship and Lily has never felt these feelings towards two men. While I liked the fact that everyone didn't just jump into bed right away, I do wish that there was more of them as a trio. We really don't see much of their relationship after that spark ignites. Not going to lie, I would also have appreciated more sexy time between the three of them. I did enjoy Calista's writing style. It's sexy and provocative without going over the top. She will definitely be on my authors to try again list.

I gotta admit, I'm about sick of the millionaire/billionaire plot in romances. However, I throughly enjoyed the peek behind the curtain of professional classical musicians. I also throughly loved the look at a butler's life (that wasn't Downton Abbey influenced). I guess you would get use to having someone anticipate your needs and be semi-invisible while going about daily activities but as a middle class American, it feels creepy and stalkerish. But it was a fun look.

I'm not really fond of menage romance but I'm constantly reading stuff out of my comfort zone to expand my reading horizon. I'm not sure I could ever fathom the depth of emotion needed to be sexually involved with two men at one time (and believe me I'm not a prude when it comes to sex and several times I've dated two guys at the same time) but for me sex equals feelings not just the act. I loved that it was a novella as it's a great way to test drive a genre or new author for a reader. I felt like it was pretty slow going for the first third of the book and any book for me needs to move along at a fast pace early on or I won't finish it. I'm not talking about inst-love or sex as that puts me off too but the story was just a bit slow for me.

I felt that the story could have benefited from a bit more dialogue as I think this is a great way to get to know the characters. I want to see them not be told about them. It just didn't have enough meat (no pun here) to it. It might have helped if I'd read the earlier book in the series and I'll definitely pursue more by this writer. And I just went back and bumped up my rating to 3 1/2* from 3* cause I realized I liked it a bit more than I realized.

This was a new author book for me and since I am a sucker for a menage book I gave it a try.

A shorter story with interesting characters - 2 world famous musicians and a woman butler. The guys are trying to get back their 'groove' while collaborating again and find themselves fascinated with their interim butler. They find that they are inspired by her presence and install her as their muse. So begins a whirlwind relationship between the 3. But will they be able to sustain it with all the plans they each have in the works?

Safe read. No cheating and a HFN ending.

Seduction (A Bayfront Billionaires Novella) by Calista Fox was a sultry and seductive novella that had moments of sweet amongst its three romantic leads.

Liliana "Lily" Hart has just been hired as a live-in butler for two months for two billionaire musicians who are in the middle of composing new music. On her first day on the job, she instantly catches the eye of both her employers, Jax and Lex. What starts off as her playing the muse, sitting and listening as they play to help inspire them as they finish their cd, soon becomes more than any of them expected.

Ms. Fox definitely seduces with her menage a trois. Lily, Jax and Lex have instant chemistry and I liked how we learned a little about their pasts. For example, Lily's family and the guys' past relationship. Though, I wish there was more time spent developing their relationship or maybe more time with them together before the end of the story. Or maybe an epilogue.

Overall, Seduction by Calista Fox is a short and sweet romance about three people who find love again after loss. I happily recommend.

Seduction by Calista Fox
A Bayfront Billionaire Novella #2

Who knew music could seduce and do such a marvelous job of it? Then again, perhaps it was Lily, working as the musicians’ temporary butler, who was really the seductress? Jax and Lex were friends who shared passion not only for music but sometimes for women. When Lily walked into their lives she became their muse allowing them to create beautiful music and as they created their passion overflowed into their relationship with Lily. Whether or not the relationship between the three would last beyond the short term contract Lily had with the two men was on all of their minds as their two months together neared its end. A novella that was definitely worth reading and one I would recommend with a nice slow buildup and a sizzling ending.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC – this is my honest review.

4 Stars

Wow, Calista Fox knocks this short story out of the park with this story of unconventional love.

Jax and Lexus are acclaimed classical musicians who are trying to write new music to help them get over a women whom they both loved and lost. Lily Hart is a Butler hired to cater to both men as they write their love letter through music. Once the men meet Lily they have found their muse to help complete their new CD and possibly find a new love for all three of them.

I really enjoyed the history that Jax and Lex share, I believed they have known each othere their whole life. When they lose their love years before they believed that the love they shared with another is gone. Then when Lily walks into their life and opens up their world again. Their love is unselfish and honest, if it wasnt this wouldn't work. I enjoyed Lily she is a character we don't see to often, a butler who would have thought of it. The attraction she feels for these two men is larger than life and filled with passion. I would have loved to have gotten more about Lily`s family but the author does set her up well, I just wanted more. We do meet some secondary characters from Lily`s history and how their lives intersect which was interesting. Ms Fox is weaving a world that will all come together in am sure. The sex sense of hot and full of passion as well, so good.

I am throughly enthralled in this world and am looking forward to more.

Seduction: A Bayfront Billionaire' Novella by Calista Fox is the story of Lily, Lex and Jax. This is just one hot, sexy and sweet novella. Lily had taken a butler job working for Lex and Jax who are billionaire musicians. She was expected to be on call day and night but she didn’t expect for her new bosses to be extremely hot and hunky. They hide this pain inside of them but she doesn’t know what pain they hide .What she does know is they appear to be on the prowl, hunting her down , at times seducing her with their eyes. You can tell Lily is professional and does her job but deep down is trying hard not to give in to their seduction. Lex and Jax are working on new music and when Lily shows up, its like an anwer to a prayer, she is the muse they were looking for yet at the same time, it was an answer to an even deeper prayer. This novella holds a lot into a short amount of time. I loved all the characters in this fast moving story –will Lily be temporary or will she be their forever muse ?
