Vivian Arend plus ménage equals one hot story. Believe me, paradise was definitely found for Paige, Trent and Mason. Well, after one or two misunderstandings, that is. I can always count on Ms. Arend to make a story hot and interesting. She did just that with Paradise Found.

Paige knows that it’s good-bye to the two men that have made her life wonderful. She can’t choose between the two and she can’t ask them for more than what they have given to her. She is breaking her own heart but knows it’s for the best.

Trent and Mason are prepared for a fight from the woman that they both love but, never did they think she would run away. They have agreed that it was time to take their relationship with Paige to the next level and ask her to sail away with both of them. They have gone so far as making sure there was a marriage application on the island for when they told her of their plans.

Hot sex on a sex couch. Hot sex in the shower. Just hot, ménage sex is what Vivian Arend writes. But, besides the hot sex, she gives us characters that we could love and care about long after the story is over. Paige, Trent and Mason were all complex characters and I give kudos to Ms. Arend to be able to get us to know them as well as she did in just a Novella. Intricate characters, a great love story and an HEA that will make you smile … could you ask for anything more?

I love Vivian Arend's books and the characters she writes. Paradise is definitely found in Paradise Found for the lucky lady of the night (every night) Paige. I love a good polyam relationship and Vivian wrote an amazing polyam throuple in this one. While it does deliver Vivian's signature heat level, there's so much depth within each of the characters and their lives in the storylines.

Canadian Paige has spent the last year working in Australia as a pastry chef, she's loved every minute of her time there, especially the time she has spent in the arms of not one but two gorgeous men, Trent and Mason. They went into their affair knowing it was a year of no strings fun but now Paige has fallen for them both the thought of leaving them to return to Canada is breaking her heart. Luckily for her she isn't the only one who feels that way and Trent and Mason have booked them all a weekend at the Bandicoot Cove resort where they're hoping to convince her to stay with them long term.

Paradise Found is a short but spicy read from Vivian Arend and I loved every minute of it. It's a novella so I was worried there wouldn't be enough time to develop a believable triad relationship but because the characters are already in a relationship at the start of the story the author is able to show what a great connection they all have right from the beginning. Trent and Mason are best friends who share everything together and they have fallen hard for Paige but worry she won't be interested in a long term relationship with both of them. Paige on the other hand has fallen hard for the two very different men and is dreading the thought of saying goodbye to either of them. The sex was hot, the romance was surprisingly sweet and this menage story hit the spot perfectly. I definitely need to check out the rest of the Bandicoot Cove series asap.

Paradise Found was a very fast, fun, and super sexy read from Vivian Arend. It is the 2nd book in the Bandicoot Cove series but was very easy to read as a stand-alone story.

I really loved Paige, Trent, and Mason together. It totally cracked me up that Trent and Mason were so hesitant to talk to Paige about where they wanted to take their relationship. I loved that Paige made sure to take time with both Trent and Mason individually as well as have time for them all together. Seriously smoking hot sex between them as a twosome or threesome.

I had to laugh that Mason and Trent wanted to make long term plans with Paige and she had quite her job to go back home to Canada, yet none had shared their plans with the other. Not being upfront with one another as soon as they arrived at Bandicoot Cove was my only issue with the story. I loved Mason and Trent and Paige together as a threesome, yet felt like they all should have been comfortable enough at this point in their relationship to be honest with one another.

I did love how they fixed everything and loved seeing them all finally admit their true feelings. I enjoyed this fun and super sexy story and fans of Ms. Arend will fall in love with her voice all over again.


Rating: 4 Stars (B)

A novella series that focuses on one woman who has fallen in love with two men. Can she have them both? Anything is possible in paradise.

A steamy story that pushes the boundaries and singe your e-reader. A steamy summer read!

Was not sure what to expect but Wow. Very hot and very sexy. I enjoyed very much.

Another hot story from this author and whilst I'm not a big fan of ménage it's the way these characters are written that made it so easy to read. Paige might have thought all she could have with her Australian hunks was this brief time together but it's clear how heart wrenching it's going to be when their time together ends. Do Trent and Mason want to say goodbye to their luscious new playmate? Absolutely not but just how do they convince Paige that what they share is nothing transient? Cue passion in spades, add in dialogue to make you smile and yes this story might not be the longest but it's a sweet romance with feeling and thankfully a very happy ending
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are my honest opinion

Paradise Found is the perfect menage novella. Characters Mason and Trent are best friend that carry a relationship with Paige that they are ready to make more permanent. Paige is tired of the no string relationship she has with Mason and Trent because her feeling for both men have grown. She plans to end things before her heart get even more broken. Mason and Trent have no plans to lose their one of a kind girl. This novel is short, sweet. and a whole lot steamy. It was a 4 star read for me.

3.5 stars--PARADISE FOUND by Vivian Arend is the second novella in the multi-authored contemporary adult BANDICOOT COVE erotic, romance series. This is Canadian pastry chef Paige Kingston, and Australian’s Trent and Mason’s story line.

NOTE: PARADISE FOUND is a M/F/M romance with sexually graphic scenes of ménage romance.

Told from three third person perspectives (Paige, Trent and Mason) PARADISE FOUND focuses on the ménage relationship between Paige, Trent and Mason. A special invitation to the resort island of Bandicoot Cove brings together a group of friends on behalf of Trent’s sister Kylie. Sparks will fly between our trio knowing Paige will return to Canada when their mini-vacation is over.

Trent and Mason are best mates (friends), in love with the same woman, and both are hoping to make the relationship more permanent. Paige’s visa is running out, and our heroine believes that the love she feels equally for both men may not be shared in return. When Paige gets wind of Trent and Mason’s plans for the future, our heroine decides it is time to go home, leaving the men to venture forward on their own. What ensues is the fall out when secrets are kept in the hopes of surprising Paige with a chance for a future together with both men in her life.

PARADISE FOUND is an erotic story of romance with graphically detailed sexual scenarios of M/F/M situations. The $ex scenes are intimate, intense and provocative-both men love Paige and want to spend the rest of their lives together but keeping secret their plans for the future causes a breakdown in communication and a brokenhearted Paige on the run.

Vivian Arend’s PARADISE FOUND is a sexy and spicy story line with lively and inventive $ex scenes where three people discover the intimacy and romance of their ongoing relationship. The premise is energetic; the romance is sensual and passionate; the characters are colorful and spirited. My only issue is the lack of any true character building as the story line focuses on the relationship and a few hours in the life.

I loved this book another smoking hot read.I am loving this set of books just love when my favorite authors get together to right a set of book.If you are looking for a hot sexy read then go get these you wont be disappoint it was well written with great characters i really liked Trent,Paige and Mason the chemistry between them was amazing loved it.

Mason, Trent, and Paige

This was not my first MFM book and it wont be the last. I think my biggest problem with this book is it felt like the whole book was just sex with a little bit of story thrown in. I found my self skipping over sex scenes and that's saying a lot since this was only a novella. The plot twist felt forced. I wished that the author spent a little more time hatching our a story line that alone would have me adding more stars to my review.

***3 Stars***

I’m a huge fan of Vivian Arend’s Rocky Mountain House series, and it’s spin offs, and have also enjoyed the handful of her PNR books, so it was a no brainer for me to pick up Paradise Found and for a novella, I found it to be an enjoyable read. It was a fun, quick and very smexy read and I liked Paige, Trent and Mason when they were together. I could see why they were into each other and could understand how they could fall in love with each other. But as much as I enjoyed it, I did have a couple of issues. The first centers around the “secrets” they are keeping from each other. I understood the why of it all, but after awhile I got bored with it and just wanted them to come clean. The other falls under the “It’s not you, it’s me” category. I LOVE a good menage story. I do. I find it all kinds of hot and when the three can and want to make it work, it’s like the best thing EVER!. BUT I’m all about it being a true menage where all three people involved are into one another not only emotionally, but sexually/physically/intimately. It doesn’t have to start out that way, but that’s how I like things to end up (Example: Rough, Raw and Ready by Lorelei James). It’s definitely a personal preference and not a reflection on Ms. Arend’s writing in any way, which I absolutely love.. So, if you aren’t as picky as I am about the whole menage relationship thing, and are looking for a quick, smexy and fun read then make sure you grab this one!

Scorching hot with a side of love.
This threesome made my insides quiver. Plans are made but you know how that usually works out. Now you need to read to experience all these three have to offer and I swear that this author will become a part of your must read lists.

Well told even though they are short and heated.

I enjoyed this novella SO MUCH. I felt like I was able to connect more with the characters than in the first book in this standalone series. Where, in that one, the three characters were coming together (*ahem*) for the first time during their trip to Bandicoot Cove — these characters had an established arrangement. I think that made it easier for me to believe and get behind.

I thought the character development was pretty good, for a novella. (Hey, there’s only so much you can do in 130 pages.) Paige, Trent and Mason were great characters. They were believable and so was the arrangement/relationship between them. They had tons of passion and their scenes were SUPER HOT. *fans self* But, more than that, there was an emotional connection between the three that made it easy for me to buy into this being real and not just a vacation fling.

If you’re looking for something hot and dirty and ménage is your thing — and if you’re looking for a touch of feels with your smut — look no further. This was a good one!

FAVORITE QUOTES

How many more times would she have before this weekend was over? How many times to try and tell them without words how much they meant to her? Because falling in love had never been part of their agreement.

“I love how you look at me. As if I’m more delicious than anything you’ve ever cooked up in the kitchen.”

I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
Paige was ready to take her relationship w/ Trent & Mason to the next level.
She is also afraid.
What if they don't have feeling for her?
Trent & Mason were ready to propose to Paige.
They don't want to lose her. They want to take the next step.
Miscommunications occur + Paige flees.
Trent + Mason go after her + propose.
Very sweet read. The couple were cute.
Loved the ending!

Wow! This novella is hot, hot, hot! The temp gets turned up almost immediately in this story of two best friends and the woman who loves them both.

Paige is an adventurous soul who has been enjoying the attentions of two gorgeous Australian men who are willing to share. The three together have plenty of fun of the adult kind but Paige's time in Australia is coming to an end. She's in love with both Trent and Mason, and she's trying not to let her sadness at leaving them both ruin their last weekend together.

What Paige doesn't know is that Trent and Mason have both fallen for her too, and they plan to take the relationship to the next level. Unfortunately, Paige overhears something that has her running from her two lovers and she'll have to make a decision if she wants to keep her two men.

I love stories that investigate the "what if" of a poly-relationship and Paradise Found does a very steamy job of it! I will say that the book is almost non-stop erotic activities, so be prepared. This was a full-of-heat afternoon read that left me happy for Paige, Trent & Mason.

An ARC was provided for review.

Paige, Mason, and Trent have been enjoying a carefree threesome relationship but when they go to Bandicoot Bay to support Trent’s sister as the manager of a new resort’s time to make some crucial decisions with regards to their relationship. Read this book to find out what happens to them! Beware the sex in this book is HOT, HOT, HOT!

Why did they have to wait so long to have the talk. I thought for sure someone would have let the "L" word slip out and make it interesting. Oh goodness the chair in the suite was hot! It was a quick, steamy read. You have to keep reading so you know what happens and if they will all stay together or not. The beginning was so awesome and I loved that she got dressed up for the arrival of her men and wanted to surprise them. It was super sweet.

If you want a sex only book with no real backstory,Trent, mason and Paige will have you swooning and wanting more in this hot short story. If not I wouldn't recommend it.
There was too much sex. I would have liked the author to lengthen the story and write more back story. I have to admit I skipped A LOT of the sex scenes. It was too much all at once. I would have easily given this 5 stars and recommend it if there was more of the story and less of the sex. We get it menage is in right now but does that mean we have to settle for books that are all about the sex and nothing else. If these men loved her as much as the description said there would have been more. But there wasn't it was a poor attempt to get her into bed as much as possible.

Paradise Found is book two in the Bandicoot Cove series by Vivian Arend.

Paige Kingston is from Canada but is in Australia on visa working as a pastry chef. For the last year she has been in a sort of for fun only relationship with two of the most handsome men she has ever known, Mason and Trent. They live and work two hours away from Paige so they only get to see each other every couple of weeks. But, for the last year, these three have had exciting adventures both outside of the bedroom and inside. They all three share the love of exploring the outdoors and Mason and Trent fulfill every need Paige could have. The problem is that over the last year, what was supposed to be only a fun only relationship, somewhere turned into much more, for Paige anyway. She has fallen in love. There is no way she could ever choose one of them and she doesn’t think they feel the same way for her. So, after this weekend, she has to say good-bye.

Trent’s sister is managing a glamorous resort on Billy Island called Bandicoot Cove. It is getting ready for the grand opening so they have invited special guests for a “soft” opening. Trent, Mason and Paige are invited. Paige knows that this weekend is the final time she will have with her two men and is determined to make every one of their fantasies come true.

Trent and Mason can hardly believe how lucky they were to meet Paige. She has become so important to them, they are both in love with her. They have a big plan to reveal to Paige this weekend, a plan that they want her to be a part of, for the rest of their lives. Now all they have to do is tell her. But you know how plans are! They rarely go as you think they should.

Vivian Arend is a new to me author. I was looking at her book list and I have had several of her books on my list but just haven’t gotten to them. Wow, did I ever enjoy this book. I thought their story was beautifully told. Don’t get me wrong, it was hot, hot, hot! But in this short amount of pages, she managed to get me to fall in love with these three. The only thing I might have liked is a little epilogue just because I loved them so much I would have liked to get a glimpse of their future. This was a fun, sexy, sweet story that I loved. I most definitely need to get to some of those other books of hers I’ve been wanting to read.
