Liv Tyner never got a night in Paris with Nate and Tristan. Having being best friends from their youth she finally saw them differently and was ready to take their relationship to the next level. That single night was all she can remember when she sees them again. Nate and Tristan have worked towards one thing. Being with Liv again was the one thing that fueled their need to expand their empire. Will they finally be together after five years?

Wow, book 5 and I'm still enjoying the heck out of this series. Callista Fox strikes just the right balance between passion and romance. Her love scenes actually move the story along. These novellas can be read out of sequence, and each is a complete story with engaging characters and situations. it amazes me that she can pack so much story into the format. If you like well written erotica Calista Fox's Bayfront Billionaire novellas are right up your alley. I look forward to number 6!

This series can be highly addictive itself.

A group of friends growing up together have found their way back to one another again. But will they be ships crossing in the night or will they finally be in Bayfront together? That is what Tristan, Nate, and Liv have to decide.

I love catching up with these couples and their friends. That being said, it has gotten a bit repetitive.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Hot, hot, hot! I devoured this book. It was book 5, but don't feel that missing the previous books really detracted from it.

The heroine and heroes had been together previously and the author did a fantastic job of weaving in their previous encounters.

I will be reading the rest of the series!

Addiction by Calista Fox is a new short and sexy novella in her Bayfront Billionaires series. Like the previous novella where childhood friends become lovers, Ms. Fox continues to keep things interesting.

Liv Tyner has come back to her home of Bayfront to prepare for and attend her friend Chloe's wedding. As an actress, she's been able to travel to different locales while still returning home to Bayfront when her schedule permitted. Busy with her career, she has no time for relationships, but she can't help but envy her friends who've found love especially those who've come out with their love triangle. A type of relationship she knows personally and still thinks about. While traveling five years ago, she shared a passionate night with Nathaniel Dalton and Tristan Reeves, step-brothers and her friends she grew up with. A secret she never told anyone. Though as she sees her best friend Fallon with her two men, she can help but wonder, "what if".

Luckily for Liv, she doesn't have to wonder long because Nate and Tristan are back in Bayfront to be last-minute groomsmen in Chloe's wedding and they're determined to finally win the heart of the woman they both love and are completely addicted to.

Addiction by Calista Fox continues the series theme of ménage à trois, and this trio brings spice to the series. Running with the idea of two ships passing in the night and basically fate interfering to keep them on two different sides of the world so they're unable to easily start a real relationship, Ms. Fox keeps the drama between the trio solely on logistics. No other women or men drama in sight to muddy the waters. So we're able to see really how focused the three have been on each other even though years have passed since they last seen each other.

Overall, Addiction by Calista Fox is a good addition to the series and an enjoyable story with a satisfying ending. I gladly recommend.

I am loving the Bayfront Billionaires series. Calista Fox did a great job at world building and makes the reader believe this is a real place. Liv has always loved the limelight perhaps that why she is an actress trying to break into the music business. Nate and Tristan are step brothers who loved being in Liv's orbit since they were all in school. One night they all had an amazing time being together in an menage. Running into each other again the step brothers are not going to let her leave them again.

Short yet full of passion.

An affair had five years ago brought out feelings never expressed and feelings that will not be suppressed. Now all parties involved have a chance to try again and maybe find their happy ever after.

I have not had the pleasure of reading any of the other novella's from this series but found this one very easy to follow. It has also brought forth the curiosity to see what the other books held. This is great for when your in the mood to read something short yet sassy.

One book and I'm entranced. I look forward to reading about the other characters in this series and enjoying them making an appearance in future books.

Addiction is one quick, erotic romance that packs a powerful punch. Liv gave in to a fantasy, a delicious, sexy, fulfilling fantasy once. She left believing it was a once and done affair. But others had different intentions.

Nate and Tristan have every intention of catching up with Liv again. In fact, they’re pretty much moving mountains to make that a reality. Now, they simply have to convince the woman that she’s on board as well. Oh, they’ll be convincing no doubt about that.

If you’re in the mood for a deliciously sexy romp then Addiction is perfect for your fast reading pleasure. I enjoyed these characters very much. They’re strong where needed and understanding where that’s necessary. Toss in the occasional bit of stubbornness and you have the perfect match for them all. Sexy enough to singe the sides of your Kindle, this one is definitely an enjoyable story.

In book 5 of the Bayfront Billionaire series we get up close and personal with Liv and we learn about her history with step-brothers Nate Dalton and Tristan Reeve. I must admit the back story on her relationship to these two men raised my opinion of her to admiration of her strong character instead of my original one of "oh no a fluffy movie star".

I love success stories especially when it involves the underdog from high school becoming very, very successful and going back to see everyone who treated them poorly. But this book is more than that. It has some lessons learned parts to it as well as some steamy interaction between these three primary characters.

Also incorporated in this story are characters from previous books to this series rounding out the reader's understanding of who and how they are all related to the series and each other. The back of the book has an titillating preview of the next book to this series and I am excited to read it.

If I could ask for anything additional in this book I would like a little more tension between Liv, Nate and Tristan for this reason I give this 3.75 STARS.

this was a really sexy novella. this is the perfect novella for anyone who is a looking for a short and steamy menage romance.

Was this review helpful?

Wow. This one is certainly steamy!!! Thing is though, it was hard to sink into the story. I found the characters to be rather flat and as a result those steamy scenes weren't as hot as they could be. If I could have connected with the characters this book would have been a big home run.

4.5 stars of meaningful ménage hotness

This is the fifth in the series, and I would recommend that you read them in order to get the full level of hotness that is developing in Bayfront! It is particularly true for this book as the background is punctuated with the preparations for John and Chloe's wedding.

Liv is an interesting character in the Bayfront group, as she has a career in film which takes her away from Bayfront all too often. As she reveals early on she once had a secret night of romance with a duet of men that rarely leave her mind. But they are based in London and she is on the West Coast or filming. So when they roll back into town, it is time to decide what her priorities are going forward – and what are theirs... cue some very, very hot encounters and romance.

I have to warn you (so maybe you are not reading under the desk at work and start tearing up) that there was one tiny scene, total innocent, but very, very moving, which had me in tears – as Liv helps Chloe thank her friend Sylvia. B.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l. Ms. Fox you completely nailed that for me – serious tissue moment.

Loved this story, and already looking forward to the next one!

M/F/M Romance

Liv, Nate, and Tristan have a history. They had one night back in college where they came together in a hot ménage. It was their secret and they never talked about it with anyone.

When their mutual friends get everyone to celebrate their marriage, Liv comes face-to-face with grown up Nate and Tristan and those same feelings come rushing back for all three.

Nate and Tristan were scholarship kids who loved science. They were considered outcasts at their school in high school, but their one good connection was Liv. She didn't care where they came from, only that she was attracted to both of them.

Now, all grown up, with the feelings rushing back, these three have a second chance to figure out if they want a relationship. This is a sweet, second chance romance. I do wish that we were able to see more into their relationship – year wise.

3.5 stars

This book can be viewed in two ways. A stand alone or a conclusion to a five part series.

As a stand alone you are not at a loss if you have not read the ones previously as there are shorts bursts of text which introduce and allow you to understand their stories.
As with the previous books,this is a light and easy read.If you are looking for depend intracate plot twists then you will be disappointed. If you take this for what it is, a romance with a story threaded through you will enjoy it.
Liv is a bayfront resident but not prentencious,sees people for the best that they are and doesn't judge. Nate and Tristan, grew up with Liv and here is a mutual attraction,a past ménage but they do not fit the millionaire role of bayfront .Or they didn't. Success brings them back and although Liv has kept in contact and knows of their success it is not what attracts her to them both.
Step brothers and Liv.
Whilst Liv has her own ambitions,meeting up with them again throws this in to turmoil.
The plot unfurls quickly and pacy.
It's not deep and dragged out in any way.There is sex but possibly less that the other book in the series that I read.
Take this book at face value and just enjoy a pact read you will love it.
If you want twists,turns and thought provoking stories you may be disappointed.

Bayfront Billionaires #5
Calista Fox
4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Super cute novella. A story that gets straight to the point. This is book 5 of Bayfront Billionaires. They are all short novellas. I enjoyed reading this one and will definitely keep my eyes open for the next one.

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?

Thanks NetGalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

Another great book in this series. I really like the that the focus is on the character and not the taboo sex. I would have liked to see more of an interaction between Liv, Nate and Tristan than the focus on Liv's career.

Note, I did receive an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

It was ok. I found that I didn't really like the main characters very much - they seemed to be obsessed with their looks and how it was so great that they had been in the gym and turned from ugly to gorgeous etc. I would have liked them to be a lot less shallow than they were.

Addiction is a hot menage with stepbrothers Nate and Tristan and their love, Liv. It's part of the Bayfront Billionaire series, but it's a standalone so if you haven't read the others in the series, you will have no problem understanding the who and the what of Addiction.

Liv has come home to Bayfront for Chloe's wedding. While there, she runs into two of her friends (and onetime lovers), stepbrothers Nate and Tristan. Years ago, Liv, Nate and Tristan had a seriously hot night together. But, it's never been repeated, probably because they've never been in the same place at the same time since. As Liv, Tristan and Nate spends time together again, will the fire of their onetime menage be reignited? And will their deeper than friendship feelings be revealed?

I love Addiction, it's a great addition to this series. Liv, Nate and Tristan are smokin hot together and individually stand out from the standard issue billionaires in most billionaire romances. Liv is vibrant and independent and a loyal, loving friend. Nate is rougher around the edges, an edgy, but kind lover and Tristan is elegant and sensuous, the perfect foil for Nate's edginess. But, for all Nate and Tristan's money and hot looks, they each possess a vulnerability that comes from never quite fitting in with the rest of the billionaires' kids at the private school where they meet Liv all those years ago. Put the three together and you get a sexy menage with emotional depth.
