This pair of stepbrothers have their sights set on just one woman...

Scarlet Drake is an insurance fraud investigator hot on the heels of the thief who stole a multimillion-dollar art collection from tycoon Michael Vandenberg's Hamptons estate. Unfortunately, the sexy Wolf of Wall Street is also her prime suspect--along with his equally mouthwatering stepbrother, Montana rancher Sam Reed. Scarlet quickly finds herself tangled up in the two devilishly handsome men, and ensnared in a web of family lies.

Michael is used to getting what he wants--and he wants Scarlet in his bed. Sam had no intention of getting emotionally or romantically involved with a woman again, but he can't deny the sizzling chemistry with Scarlet. And when the three of them cave to one sinfully delicious night of sheer decadence, their sexy menage becomes a fiery affair of the heart. But they don't stand a chance at a happily ever after unless all of the absolute truths are finally revealed...

Review;

This is the third book in the Lover's Triangle series. This series so far has featured three friends (Jewel, Bayli and Scarlet) and their unconventional love arrangement's. This series and this book features/mentions many of the people, places and happenings from the Bayfront series. Though you do not have needed to read those to enjoy this book.

This is the story of Scarlet and the stepbrothers; Michael and Sam. Scarlet is investigating an insurance fraud claim having to do with Michael and Sam's family. Scarlet hounds Michael's every step until they finally meet and sparks fly from there. When she does not get the answers she needs from Michael she seeks out Sam and more sparks fly.

This was an excellent story! From the other series and books, it felt as though I already knew this trio and had a vested interest in them. It is intensely sexy, but really has a lot of heart to the story. There is a little mystery and suspense, as Scarlet comes to learn the truth about Sam's father and her safety is threatened. There are some surprises and twists in this story. This like the other books in the series is about a ménage relationship if this is not your thing, then this may not be the book for you. I am not sure if there are any more books in this series coming, as the three friends have each had their story, but I hope it does continue.

If you want a book with a lot of sex scenes then you will enjoy this book. Scarlet is an insurance fraud investigator on a cold case regarding the 20 million dollar art theft from the Vandenburg estate. After 2 months of trying to interview Michael she discovers upon their meeting, that they share an amazing chemistry. That's a problem since Scarlett needs to keep her focus on this investigation and not on Michael. Michael answers questions that he never thought he would discuss with anyone because he can't stay away from Scarlet. Sam, Michael's stepbrother, is a rancher in Wyoming, far from New York.. When he ends up rescuing Scarlett from her crashed SUV, they end up snowed in for a while and, Sam is also fascinated by Scarlett. He also finds himself answering questions he never thought he would answer. This is a complex case, as is the relationship between Scarlett, Michael and Sam.

I really liked that Ms. Fox established the relationships between Scarlett, Sam, and Michael individually before they come together. This story is a suspenseful, sexy romance with quite a few twists and turns around the mystery that Scarlett is trying to solve. Plus there are definitely lots of hot sexy times as well as intimate moments that help the reader fall for and understand these characters. I recommend this book to other readers and am looking forward to the next book in this series.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Rating 4.5

I have been a fan of Calista Fox's The Billionaires series from the get-go and I have to say each book is better than the last. The Stepbrothers has it all - romance, suspense, and a great mystery all this is driven by solid main characters who I fell in love with.

The story is told from Scarlett's POV - an insurance fraud investigator who is looking into a multi-millionaire dollar settlement that was awarded to the Vanderburg family. As part of her investigation, she needs to interview Michael Vanderburg and his stepbrother Sam Reed both irresistible handsome that stirs something in Scarlett that she has never felt before. The bigger question is how does she separate her feelings from doing her job especially when she and the men embark on a relationship together. We do get great cameos of Bayli and Jewel which is great for the readers and perfect people to help Scarlett navigate what it means to be in a menage relationship.

What I really loved about Stepbrothers is the time Ms Fox takes to establish the relationships between Scarlett, Sam, and Michael individually before they come together. The story is great with quite a few twists and turns around the mystery that Scarlett is trying to solve. Of course, this being a Calista Fox book the sexy times are hot but there are a lot of intimate moments that help the reader care for these characters. If I had one complaint it would be I would have liked a little more at the end on what compromises this trio will make to move their relationship move forward, I just wanted to know a little more.

All in all, this is a fantastic ending to a great trilogy, I cant wait to see what Ms Fox has coming up next.

Scarlet is an insurance fraud investigator who is investigating the cold case of a 20 million dollar art theft from the Vandenburg estate. She tries for 2 months to interview Michael. and, when they finally meet, the chemistry is instant! That's a problem when Scarlett MUST keep her focus on this investigation! Michael finds himself answering questions from this woman that he never thought he would discuss with anyone because he can't stay away from her. Sam, Michael's stepbrother, is a rancher in Wyoming, far from New York.. When he ends up rescuing Scarlett from her crashed SUV, they end up snowed in for a while and, Sam is also fascinated by Scarlett and, finds himself answering questions he never thought he would answer! This is an exceedingly complicated case, along with an exceedingly complicated relationship between Scarlett, Michael and Sam. You won't want to put this one down!

Scarlet is a smart, strong, determined investigator. When she sets out to uncover what happened to her clients 18 million dollars, she never expected to become attracted to two very sexy men. Michael, the Wolf of Wall Street and the Huntsman, his sexy step brother Sam, have nothing to hide and everything to gain when they both want Scarlet in their bed. But as she digs deeper into this mystery, questioning them and their family, her life becomes in danger. Can Scarlett trust these sexy men who bring her the most pleasure she has ever had, or will the investigation cause her to lose not only them but her life as well? This suspenseful, sexy romance has several twists and turns that will have you guessing to the end. I really liked Scarlet, Michael, and Sam, they had their own distinctive personalities that blended perfectly together making them a perfect match. I really enjoyed this well crafted, sexy romance and the mystery that kept me engaged from start to finish.

The Billionaires: The Stepbrothers is the third book in ‘A Lover’s Triangle’ series by author Calista Fox. This standalone romance is the first story that I have read in the series. The characters from the first two books do appear, but I had no difficulty following along. I will be going back to read the first two stories, as I am intrigued to know their stories.

In this story, Scarlet Drake is an insurance fraud investigator inspecting a cold case involving the theft of a private art collection worth roughly 18 million dollars. She first questions the wealthy son, Michael Vandenburg. After reaching a dead end, she interrogates Michael’s stepbrother, Sam Reed. She is captivated to learn what the brothers were doing that evening and soon fantasizes what it would be like.

I love reading Ms. Fox’s books as they always have a great storyline as well as being blazing hot!

This is a definite add to your TBR list!

*Voluntarily Reviewed an Advanced Copy*

Hot, hot, hot! Calista has the steam full blast in this book! Great story!

I've always wanted to read something from this author and now I had the chance.
Although the essence of the story was interested and had potential it wasn't what I was expecting.

The book starts with a meeting between Scarlet and Michael.
Scarlet Drake is an insurance fraud investigator. In this case she investigates the disappearance of some paintings from Vandenberg Hampton estate.
Michael and his stepbrother,Sam are considered the main suspects in the artwork disappearance. The trails lead to Michael and Sam, who recived both money shortly after the insurance claim was paid. Michael was avoiding Scarlet for months, but after he sees her, he has the "hot's" for her. They end up in bed quickly. And after all this....she's at a dead end. Now she has to go to Montana to investigate Sam, Michael's stepbrother.
Scarlet is a sexy red head, ambitious, alluring, tempting, with curvy body and who likes the adventure. She and Sam have something in common, a hurting past. She wasn't counting on the chemistry and attraction she would feel for the both stepbrothers. But during the investigation, she falls in love with both of them.

Scarlet was not a person to let a question go unanswered. She was desperate to find out what happened to her clients insurance claim. Would the missing paintings ever be recovered. As a way to find her answers she meets Michael and Sam. Each brother captivated her and she fell prisoner to her desires. She was always willing to take chances, her adventurous behavior and inquisitive nature will give her everything she wants. Wickedly hot!

The Billionaires: The Stepbrothers is book three in the Lover’s Triangle series by Calista Fox. I read and loved the second book in this series so couldn’t wait for this one and I was not disappointed. I definitely need to go back and read the first book in the series. This book has a little bit of everything, red hot sexy times, some sigh worthy sweet times, and a mystery to solve which includes some suspenseful times.

We met Scarlet Drake who is best friends with Jewel and Bayli from the two previous books. Scarlet is an insurance fraud investigator and has been trying to investigate stolen artwork from the Vandenberg estate. An eighteen million dollar check was paid for the theft of the paintings and the insurance company wants one more chance at making sure that the robbery was legitimate and not an insurance scam.

When Scarlet takes a job, she takes it seriously and doesn’t leave any avenue unchecked. At the top of her suspect list are the two step brothers, Michael Vandenberg, and Sam Reed, who both have large sums of money that showed up in their bank accounts around the time of the robbery. Michael has been very elusive but she has finally cornered him. What she didn’t prepare for was the immediate electrical attraction between them.

Michael Vandenberg is otherwise known as the Wolf of Wall Street. He has no time for emotional connections but when Scarlet appeared in front of him, all he could think about was how much he wanted her. And he would have her. He knows something is there between them and without fully understanding what it is, is willing to explore it.

“This woman was a drug, and he was instantly addicted.”

When Scarlet accepts that Michael is innocent, next on the list is Sam. Sam runs a horse ranch in Montana. This man will definitely melt your heart. Sam lost his fiancé and unborn child in a car accident and has never recovered from the loss. He has no interest in connecting emotionally with any woman. This man saves abandoned and abused puppies from the side of the road for crying out loud. I swooned over him. When Scarlet comes into his life, though, just like Michael, he is bowled over by the attraction.

Michael and Sam have a history of sharing women and it doesn’t take long before they decide that they would like to share this experience with Scarlet. Scarlet has watched her two best friends flourish in their triad relationships and is completely open to the idea for herself. She also wants to explore this emotional connection she is feeling with both men. But, even though she believes both men are innocent of any involvement in the disappearance of the artwork, their family is still suspect. Does she dare move forward with this relationship before her investigation is complete?

As I said, though, Scarlet is like a dog with a bone when she is on a case. And she uncovers some facts that perhaps should have been left alone. Now she has to further torment this family by uncovering secrets long buried. Will Sam ever forgive her for what she is about to do?

This was a sweet story of an attraction that took all three of these people by surprise. Scarlet is one tough cookie but has a soft side as well. I do admit that she was a bit brash or forward at times and for me, this can sometimes be a little off putting. She was right on the border, though, so it didn’t turn me off completely. And the case she was working on kept me guessing right up to the end.

If I had one complaint, it’s that I wanted a little more from the epilogue. I wanted to know how they were making it work geographically since all three of them reside in different places. I did really enjoy this book, though and definitely need to go back and read the first book that I missed.

Just like book 2 in the series, The Bosses, and the 1st, The Billionaires, this is a MFM menage. The story has a similar thread through them all since the girls are all friends. They each land themselves into a menage situation and can we say yum?

Calista Fox created a delicious story that will rev up your engines! The guys are stepbrothers and have similar taste in women and enjoy the double pleasure. What woman could resist that? While there are a few hot ass scenes in here, there is also MF action too and plenty of heated anticipation. However, most of the story revolves around Scarlet and the mystery she is trying to solve.

This one disappointed me in a few places because the ending was somewhat of a let down to me. After all is said and done, this could have had a fabulous HEA, but it fell flat to me. Another annoyance was the fact that Scarlet seemed to press for most of the connection between the guys although they were not complaining! LOL I just prefer the man chase more, I guess.

This book can be read as a standalone, but you will get more out of it if you read the series as a few characters overlap. I always enjoy the author writing. Always a steamy read with hot men that you want to take home for yourself!

3.75☆
This was a good story that as it progressed did draw me in. Especially in the latter stages with the couple of twists that occurred. However I did find it very hard to get into and apart from the romance, which I really enjoyed. Everything else just fell flat for me. Yet I'm sure anyone who is a fan of this author or has enjoyed the two previous Lovers Triangle books will enjoy it.

The Billionaires: The Stepbrothers by Calista Fox is the story of Scarlet Drake, Michael Vandenberg and Sam Reed. Scarlet is looking to solve a mystery containing a art disappearance. Which leads her to Michael and Sam who may have information about its disappearance. But what they are finding is a stronger attraction between the three of them. This was another HOT and Sexy read from this author.

Sexy, smart and determined, Scarlet is going to figure out who stole the multimillion-dollar art collection before the time runs out. She knows there is something fishy about how the art collection disappeared. As an insurance fraud investigator, she is the best at her job and she doesn't leave a case unsolved. The problem with this one is, there are two men who block her at every step. Which one of them did this? Michael or his step brother Sam? Both received suspicious amounts of money during the same period. If she could only talk to them, she could rule them out as suspects or determine if they are guilty. It does not help that their father is even more bold in stopping all inquires from Scarlet.

Ms. Fox creates another delicious menage where the heat leaps off the pages. The chemistry between Scarlet and each of the brothers is hawt. Too bad they live in different worlds - rural, city and world traveler. How can they possible ever come together? Where could they be together? How can they make it work? Because when they are together, they are more than just physically compatible. These three characters match each other in the ways that they didn't even know they needed. This is definitely a complicated relationship with the added stress of criminal activity, even if it is a white crime where "no one got hurt". Ms. Fox creates gut clenching tension as more information is unearthed from the past. There is a reason why there is an axiom, "let sleeping dogs lie". It is shocking and the plot twists makes this story a bit unbelievable yet more understandable. The ending is bittersweet. Because even though love conquers all, at what price? This erotic romance is recommended to menage readers who enjoy explosive sex, betrayals and skeletons bured deep in closets.

This book had a great story line with twists and truths hidden being revealed along with some hot scenes between step brothers. Scarlett investaging a stolen painting worth millons comes across two step brothers Micheal and Sam and has instant attraction to both. This book has a little of everything that I like in books drama, love and suspense. Great book for a rainy Sunday to curl up with. Honest review in exchange for ARC.

The Billionaires: The Stepbrothers by Calista Fox
Lover’s Triangle #3

Scarlet Drake is an insurance fraud investigator and her gut feeling is that there is something very wrong with the disappearance of the Vandenberg art collection. She sets off to find out who might have been involved and begins by interviewing first the son and step-son of the paintings owner and ends up with more than she bargained for. She is drawn to both Michael Vandenberg, wealthy stockbroker, and his step brother Sam Reed. With a couple of her best friends in ménage relationships she is contemplating just what that might be like when she is presented the opportunity to give it a try. As with most of these books, the pleasure is intense and consensual and leads to a relationship – a relationship that might be long term. Scarlet does unearth some secrets and solve the case but it did not play out the way she thought it would. My main question at the end was where the three would live since Sam has a ranch in Montana, Michael is based in New York and Scarlet’s business is located in California. It won’t be the typical happy families, that’s for sure!

I enjoyed the book and would like to thank St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the ARC – This is my honest review.

3-4 Stars

Mystery, drama, secrets, intensity, hot sexy nights...what more could you want? Substance. There was something missing. This was overall a great story but it was missing something. Scarlet is an insurance fraud investigator looking for a thief of a multi-million dollar art collection and this leads her to Michael, a real estate tycoon. He didn't do it but he does Scarlet. Next up is his stepbrother Sam in Montana who is a horse rancher. He didn't steal it either but he does heat things up with Scarlet. Now she knows what her friends have been talking about. Will she get the thief? Overall, this was a good book, just not for me at this time.
