Stepbrothers Nate and Tristan have always had feelings for Liv- going way back when they were in school. When they show up back to Bayfront flashing their billionaire status around, they are there for one reason-Liv.  After graduating college the three gave into their feelings and had one night to remember back in Paris.  None of them were situated to make their threesome a go, but now the men feel they have something to offer Liv.  No longer the geeky guys she knew, the billionaire brothers have set Liv in her sights! Swoon!

Gosh I love ménages and Calista Fox has done well with the entire Bayfront Billionaires series!  There definitely is something in the water there and I love it!  Liv is everybody's sweetheart.  A great actress, singer and friend, she looks like she has it all-but all she really wants is Nate and Tristan.  She's never forgotten them or that blissful night, but what if they have moved on??  Nate and Tristan haven't moved on. In fact, they have taken their business globally to be close to Liv. They are in town for a wedding. It's the perfect time to get Liv on board and tell her of their plans.

I loved how the men were sex on a stick, but at the same time sweet and still a bit shy at times. Once their lust and desire took over- whoa! Smokin' hot!! There is chemistry all around in spades and you can feel the sizzle!  Of course there are logistics to handle, and the stigma of a polyamorous relationship, but this is Bayfront!  Poly relationships abound!  The biggest worry is settling in one place to be together and that's the overriding tension throughout the book. I wish they would've had "the talk" about their relationship a tad earlier as some of that individual tension would have been eased. But the wedding activities took precedence so I get it. 

If you are a fan of ménage storylines, pick Addiction up! You'll soon be reading the whole Bayfront Billionaires series and Calista's spin off series The Billionaires.  I love Calista's writing style and she has a knack for writing steamy ménages!! All the books can be read as standalones, but I highly encourage you to get the series as characters from previous books land in subsequent books and you will want to know their stories as well!!

This book was gifted to me for an honest review.  The review and ratings are my own opinions.

Addiction by Calista Fox is in the Bayfront Billionaires series. It is a quick and easy read due to it being a novella. This was a steamy erotic book about three childhood friends who go beyond friendship and become lovers one night. Then years later Tristin and Nate (step-brothers) meet up with Liv and they all find that their feelings are still hot on the spot. It has rich guys and a movie star, pleasant scenery, and well defined characters.

I enjoyed the story and the fast pace of the book. It is recommended as a quick summer steamy read.

Addiction is the fifth book in the Bayfront Billionaires series by author Calista Fox. This story is a standalone although I do recommend you read the others in the series. This will give you a better foundation for the story, but know that it’s not necessary.

Step brothers Nate and Tristan grew up in Bayfront, but they have been living and working in London, England at their communication company’s headquarters. They decide to go back to Bayfront for their friend’s (Chloe and John) wedding and consider expanding their business to the nearby San Francisco area. Liv is good friends with Nate and Tristan and they had a one-night stand five years ago. What will happen when Liv sees Nate and Tristan again? Will they go back to London?

A great steamy read!

*Voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy*

I am sorry but the story was completely absent, and the sex scene were not steamy. Mostly I found no joy in reading this book.

Mi spiace dirlo, ma non c'era praticamente né trama né dialoghi degni di nota, inoltre le scene di sesso non erano per niente "Hot". Praticamente leggere questo libro non mi ha divertito affatto.

THANKS TO NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

This friends to lovers romance was a short hot and steamy romance. Step-brothers Nate Dalton and Tristan Reeves were the nerds that didn't fit in in school. But popular, beautiful Liv Tyner always connected with them. They were close friends always keeping in touch as they went their separate ways making their mark on the world. One night when Liv called, Nate & Tristan came to party with her and they ended up having a night of passion that they have kept secret for years. Now they are all successful, sexy adults living in the same city and the secret has turned into much more. I really liked all 3 of them but I really wanted to know them better. I had a hard time really caring more than just a fun, super hot & sexy quick read. I did like catching up with previous characters. If you are looking for a quick hot and steamy menage romance, you will enjoy this book/series.

Addiction from Calista Fox,is for me a new author.
I must say,it was ok,I am fine with menage relationships.
but this one,wash a bit cheap.
the writing somewhat simpel,too wordy on the looks and
mostly about side characters it was annoying.
The storyline was nice,a bit predictabel.
but nice enough.

While this is a few books into a series i still like to be able to learn things about the world we're in. Yet I didn't get that vibe. It seemed as if the author already knew the characters and felt that the readers could feed off of that? Either way we get more insight to characters already known instead of the three we're supposed to get to read about. Though it wasn't terrible it wasn't all that engaging.

I love a good menage!
Those are my ultimate weakness. Get's me all hot n bothered if you know what I mean. The sexual tension between Liv, Nate, and Tristan was off the walls! I have read all the books in the Bayfront Billionaires series, and I must say this is my new favorite.

As you go through the 5 books in the series I can happily say that each book is better than the last and Addiction is definitely my favorite.

Liv needs to make a choice - back home at Bayfront for a wedding she is taking the time to think about her future, continue to act or pursue her dream of being a singer. Then when she sees Tristan and Nate again she knows that leaving them again will be downright impossible. After an amazing night 5 years ago in Paris with them she has dared to hope for another amazing night, but life doesn't keep the three of them in one place for very long can she have the love of the two billionaires something she has wished for all her life and still have the career she earns for.

Tristan and Nate are not only step brothers, they are best friends and business partners. When the lived in Bayfront they were small, kind of geeky and both had feelings for Liv - the one person who was always there for them. As they grew up they found success and are definitely not geeky any longer and after the amazing night with Liv they knew this was something they wanted in due time. Now wanting to make their home base back in Bayfront can the give up Liv again.

Ms Fox has not only weaved another fantastic love story with all the heat we have come to expect from this series - she makes the idea of a menage relationship possible and in fact loving. The backstory of Tristin, Nate, and Liv was well written and told in a concise manner but didnt make me feel like I was missing anything - the history for them is real. I loved getting the chance to see all the other characters from the other books and we even get to meet a few new ones. The happy ending didnt seemed rushed which is something I am always afraid of when reading novella's so this was something I always look for.

All in all, if you are looking for a short steamy read that is truly a love story that just happens be between 3 people then Addiction (actually all of the Bayfront Billionaire Novellas) is a great place to start.

Liv has had a thing for Nate & Trisan ever since they had a one night encounter a few years back that as so mind blowing she can't forget it. When they show up for her friend Chloe's wedding the sparks ignite and the trick will be finding a balance they can all work with.

This story is Hot, Sexy, Fun and a little kinky, so it has a little bit of something for everyone. What girl doesn't fantasize about two men worshiping her.

Billionaires who are humble and sexy? Who are these men? In the latest in this series of billionaire men and the women they woo, Liv Tyner is the focus. Liv has always been the nicest girl in their social group. Without a mean bone in her body, she's been doing well for herself since school. She is moving from the acting world into the music industry. No one knows yet, but she is looking to move away from her home in California to be closer to two men she can not forget: Nate Dalton and Tristan Reeves.

Years ago, before any of her friends even thought of menage, she already experienced this forbidden fruit in a wild night in Paris. She kept this smoking hawt one time experience in her spank bank and thought it would remain there. So when Nate and Tristan show back up in California - rich, successful and good looking, it brings back good memories. From a set up perspective, these three are too cute. They are the sweet girl with the two nerdy guys who meet up in a "high school" reunion-esque set up. Their lovers reunited plot is simple and sweet. There is a little conflict and a bit of in your face comeuppance to former bullies in high school.

This is an easy read with sexy menage scenes. For uncomplicated romances with genuinely nice characters, Bayfront Billionaires is the series to read. These smooth contemporary romances are recommended to those looking for spicy threesomes.

Does everyone get a happy ending? Liz knows what she wants and her career is very important to her but she has no man in her life to share it with. She has dear friends that are always there for her but just not that special person. She doesn't think that she will ever find the one as no one can ever compare to Tristan & Nathaniel. And now that they are at the wedding and she can't believe how much she has missed them. Do they still think of her after all this time? Now that they are moving back do they pick up their relationship or has that ship sailed? Another great book in the series, who knew that the books could get hotter.

This novella was well-paced and the sexy scenes were well-written and scorching hot. The story follows the same pattern as the previous installments in the series. As is often the case with a novella, the plot is rather limited and this is a fast read. This time around, I would have preferred to see more focus on character development, though.

Liv Tyner is an actress on hiatus between projects. She has decided to spend her holidays in Bayfront, havens for the rich and famous. She is reunited with her two childhood friends, stepbrothers Nathan Dalton and Tristan Reeves. Nathan and Tristan are geeks and science was their first priority. Their business plan succeeded beyond their wildest dreams, and they own a global telecommunications business empire. They had a brief affair with Liv, but they kept it hidden, as their own forbidden secret. But the tables have turned, they want something more significant or permanent with Liv. She has always been their ultimate fantasy. Taking a walk on the wild side holds definite appeal for the threesome.

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?




Review:




Another quick and sexy installment in the Bayfront Billionaires series, where ménage relationships are the norm.




This story is set around Liv, Nate and Tristan who have been friends for years and had one night of passion together years ago. Now, they are reunited for a wedding and have to decide if one night of passion is all it was or is it something more.




This was a very quick read. Like all the others is super sexy and centers around a ménage arrangement. I like all the books in the series and I liked this one too, just not as much as some of the others. For me everything seemed rushed in the story and I would have liked a little more depth. I really liked the characters, but I wanted to spend more time with them and them with each other. Writing was well-done as always. I liked that this story incorporated a lot of the characters from the other books, which makes sense because of the wedding.

2.5 Stars
Not my thing. Very short and superficial. Didn't love or know the characters, and even the sex wasn't. Hot.

4 Stars

You know this book isn't quite what I had expected. In order to get the full on full, you would have had to read the other books in the series by this author. It was a very fast read with reoccurring characters. The menage was expected but not at the same time.
The author did a great job in creating friends to lovers, the drama was well there but in all the book was packed with sexy scenes, conflict. Overall the book was a delightful sexy read.
Great Summer's read not to mention hot and steamy.

This little gem is my first read from this author. I read it in one sitting and loved every word.
