Hmmm… what to say about this book. Overall, I did like it. However, I feel like the only person who ‘won’ in this book was Abi. It would have been different for me if she wasn’t already married to Liam, but she was. So she gets her ‘cake’ and gets to ‘eat it’. Meaning she got to keep her husband and get the guy she wanted all along before even marrying Liam. Too odd for me.
This is not my first book by this author.
I did enjoy the steamy scenes of this book. I will continue to read books by this author.

What is wrong with this woman? She is all over the place and stringing along two men due to her indecision. If she wanted them both then she should have asked them to start with. Bringing the one lad along with the other lad while you make your decision on which lad to be with and then giving them both the runaround? I don't know, I didn't like her at all and I think the two boys might have been better off to head off together and leave her to her wallowing.

What a hot erotic romance. Abi, Del and Liam have such a hot relationship that you find that you’re fanning yourself when you are reading it.

When Abi and Liam’s marriage falls apart, Liam tries hard to keep Abi tied to him. But at Abi's brothers wedding, she accidentally falls into bed with Liam even though she was hoping it was Del. She finally made the decision to act on her long time attraction to Del and it went totally the wrong way...or didn't it??? Liam is determined to keep Abi, no matter what. What if it includes another person or two?

I really liked the story as well as the characters. The hot and sexy bedroom scenes are amazing!

Opal Carew has written an MFM ménage romance story with drama, scandal, humor, angst, lots of hot scenes, and a great HEA.

I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book.

I think it got better in the last third of the book, but Abi's indecision drove me batty. There were some hot scenes, but I just lost patience with them all.
Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for the review copy in which I give my honest opinion.

This book was not what I was expecting. Of course, it has the hot steamy storyline that is known when reading Carew's books. But the pull between Liam and Abi and also with Abi and Del kept me hooked. The storyline is a natural progression and not a forced grouping of the three characters. This would make a perfect beach read.

**This book is not for the faint heart**

Frankly, I rarely like this kind of book. But I was intrigued on the story and how will it end. From the start up to the last, I was easily pulled in into the story. There are times that I want to freaking throttle the living s**t out of the characters lol. But I just can't get mad to the characters regardless of what they've done. Overall, the story is good and full of surprises!

I have read and enjoyed several of Opal Carew's books. However, I must say this one just didn't quite do it for me. The characters, especially, Abi, were just too weak and indecisive. So while I enjoy a good menage romance, this one ended up being a menage simply because Abi couldn't figure out which man she wanted and kept jumping from bed to bed. She wasn't likeable so at times I frankly wanted both men to drop her.

Very hot read! Totally recommended for a sexy night.

I have to be honest, this book started off slow and it took a while for me to get into it. It turned out to be an okay read. I think when it comes to this story, either you will like it in some way or you will totally hate it. Abi, Del and Liam characters will definitely test all of your patience when it comes to them. There were definitely moments that made had me thinking wait, what in the world just happened? I hated the push and pull with Abi; I also found her to be a very selfish at times. One minute she didn't want Liam and the next she was on her knees, yet she claimed she was mortified and embarrassed yet she did it repeatedly with both men. I do wish this author would have separated the characters actions by chapter or some sort of separation. For example, The story could be talking about something going on with Abi and Del then all of a sudden it would go to something Liam was doing. I had to go back and read it to be sure I hadn't somehow missed something; a page or a paragraph, and it happened often in this story. However, I found the ending a great one for these characters because I don't believe there was another way for their story to end.

Hot, sexy and a quick read. If you like Menage you'll love this.

I do Love Opal Carew.

Sizzling Romantic Love Story.,

This was a handful. Handful in the sense that I really did love the competitiveness that both Liam and Del has. But I did not like the drawn out limbo of who gets Abi. It was frustrating and made me anxious, stressful reading the book due to that.

I did love the chemistry all three had though I do wish there was something else besides the chemistry that would offset the frustration and I want her theme that was consistent through the book until the end.

X marks the spot is about loosing a child and pain that comes with it. Opal did a great job in showing the world of miscarriages and the resulting problem that occurred between Liam and Abi.

3.5 stars

This book begins with Abi going to her brothers wedding with plans of finally turning her friend zone relationship with her brothers friend Del into something more. But her brother has other plans and when Abi thinks she is getting into Dels bed, she is actually in Liam’s...her husband that she is trying to divorce.

Liam has never stopped loving Abi and he knows he has a long way to go in proving to her that he is worthy of her love and trust again...and when the sparks ignite between them, he is convinced he is well on his way until he realizes Abi thinks she is with someone else.

Del has wanted Abi from the day he met her but something has always held him back. But now, he’s done holding back and ready to make Abi his once and for all. Only he never thought Liam would end up back in the picture and now that he is, will Abi chose him?

My review:

I have read quite a few books by this author now and they all tend to follow the same pattern...decent character development with lots of steamy sex. This one was no different.

I liked all three of the characters and the story hooked me in right away. Parts of it felt really rushed while other parts felt very predictable but overall I thought it was a good read.

My thoughts:

POV: switches between the characters
Quick hook or slow starter?5 (I was hooked from the first chapter)
Character development: 3
Level of Romance between characters: 3
Passion/Heat level:4 (there is a lot of sex and at some points it almost seems like too much but it is steamy)
Angst/Heartbreak: 3 (there is conflict but it is not written in an angsty fashion.)
Cliffhanger?: No, all wrapped up with a sweet epilogue.

Overall, I thought it was good and about what I expected. A sexy entertaining read.

I received an ARC of this story from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Things didn’t quite go as expected based on the description. But I liked Abi and truly felt for her dilemma. I liked Del, and couldn’t wait for Abi to get her chance to be with him. Liam was much harder to like. Once he knew about Abi’s feelings for Del and her desire to have a relationship with him it seemed like Liam was more concerned with winning than anything else. He seemed manipulative towards Abi and he definitely used her desire for him to get his way. It wasn’t until the end that he actually realized how his actions were effecting Abi and he had some remorse.

Overall, I liked the story and I was happy with the ending. Opal doesn’t disappoint with the sex either!

Book Review: ♥ ♥

I love taboo romance novels but this one went too far. It was messed up with a capital F. The sexy scenes were hot but not enough to save the book. I wanted Liam to get his wife back... if he wanted her. I've read a few of Opal Carew's books and have enjoyed them but I'm sorry this one is a no from me.


Abi has a close network of friends who are entangled with her family. She married one, Liam but should have held out for Del. A wedding brings these three together. Abi sleeps with her husband and Del says he's willing to give there romance a chance. Abi can't keep her legs closed. She gets pregnant by her husband. Liam has always wanted a baby with his wife but she wants to be with Del. It's so F***'d up.


Scandal, drama and a lot of sex.


You'll either hate it or love it. The ending makes sense and has a happy ever after.


2 stars out of 5. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I had never read a book by this author so thought I would give it a go.
Abi wants to divorce Liam because he left her emotionally isolated when she lost their baby. Still married two years on she wants a relationship with Del.Liam and her brothers best friend who she had a crush on before she married Liam.
Liam however does not want a divorce,he still loves Abi.
Chemistry is present between Abi and both men so what follows is an exploration of who she loves the most and you wait for her to decide.
Abi in my mind is a bit selfish and whiny and at times she is rather self indulgent.
Good writing makes me like her one minute and dislike her the next. Liam as a dom and then passive in a menage is rather confusing but anything is possible.
It didn't take me long to read,kept me interested and turning the pages. Therefore worth 3 stars as a relaxing easy read.

I was invited by St. Martin’s Press to read and review this title through an email I received, then downloaded via NetGalley. I briefly read the synopsis provided in the email before downloading the book.

Unfortunately, this turned out to be a disappointment for me. It was not what I expected, based on the blurb provided. The characters - their emotions, actions and reactions - did not seem believable to me. There was a premise to this story but it was poorly executed.

This just wasn’t for me.

Most of the books by this author that I’ve read are sports romances. But I have read this series and it is just as well written as any of her stories. She never disappoints and brings the characters to life on each page.

A tequila bar is hardly the place Reese expected to being working but she’s comfortable there for now. She just can’t stand two things – her boss who seems to sleep with every woman who comes in - and the food menu at the bar. So she’s trying to ignore the first and subtly change the second.

Cade isn’t about to change anything in his life, he’s comfortable with things as they are. But he wants Reese and he has a policy to never sleep with employees. There is just something about her that he can’t figure out and it is driving him crazy. As much as he tries, he can’t stop wanting her and he is willing to break the rules to get her.

I loved the twists and turns of the story, not knowing just how the next event would unfold. Great style, characters, and overall love story with the requisite HEA!

WOW, HOT HOT you must read this book. Loved it from beginning to end
