I was excited to have the opportunity to obtain an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of this book on NetGalley.

“She didn’t like having no one to come home to, but that was a silly reason to get into a relationship. That was a reason to get a cat.”*

Chef Mitchell and brew master Ben are roommates, business partners, and lovers, but neither feels comfortable admitting that what started as friendship with a side order of casual sex has evolved into love. With her sex toy business in the red, Hannah jumps at the opportunity to share a fair booth with the delicious duo. Soon all three begin to mix business with pleasure.

What I love most about THREE-WAY SPLIT is the sex positive message. All three characters are comfortable with their sexuality. The love and relationship side of partnership is what makes them twitchy, all for different reasons. The book addresses polyamory by having the trio attend a workshop on the subject, which triggers intense emotions about their ménage à trois relationship.

While the sex scenes sizzle, the way each person slowly comes to terms with their feelings for each other makes the book a solid romance. The fact that THREE-WAY SPLIT is the start of trilogy proves that good things come in threes.

This is my first time reading this author and i really loved this book. The writing style pulled me right in.
I loved the chemistry between Ben and Mitchell but neither of them want to look to closely at what they really feel for the other. Haley has adored Mitchell from afar for a year but has her own reasons for not wanting a relationship. I loved the chemistry between Ben and Mitchell and the three of them together. I loved the banter between all three. This was refreshingly well written and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Three- Way Split was anything but a romance story for me I just felt it was nothing but sex and no chemistry I just couldn't get into it for anything. Sadly disappointing.

This is a new author for me and I really liked the flow of her writing. The story held my interest and I am always a fan of m/f/m and the whole dynamic of that kind of relationship.

I did feel like something was missing from the story though. Once they all decided that they wanted to be together, it was "love" right away and then we never really got much of them as a three-way poly couple. I will look for more books from this author though since I did like her writing.

I am so unexplainably in love with this book! I love the feelings hannah, ben, and Mitchell have for each other. I love how real it feels when they realize how truly devoted and in love they all are with each other even if no one wants to admit it. I would love to read more with these characters in a second book. Maybe continuing to moving in together and a baby....

Hannah Stewart has been adoring Mitchell Fredericks from afar for the past year. He's the young co-owner of a local bar, while Hannah owns the local toy store. And I don't mean kids' toys. She's sure Mitchell is a relationship kind of guy, and Hannah's a little gun shy about pursuing him for anything casual, so she's kept her distance. Until the monthly Chamber of Commerce meeting happens, and Mitchell's partner, Ben Harrington enters the story. Ben's immediately just as enamored with Hannah as Mitchell secretly is, and these three embark on a beautifully told story of friendship, love and getting everything you've ever wanted.

This was my first Elia Winters book; and when I went to Netgalley to browse, I was in the mood for a good triad story. That's exactly what I found! This was refreshingly well written and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Sometimes these books can be a little cheesy, or all about the smut--which, don't get me wrong, sometimes I'm totally in the mood for. But this was the perfect mix of both, and it took this topic seriously rather than making it into a 300 page porn book. I'm hoping she decides to continue this series!

Thiwas a good romance. I liked how the love developed between the three characters. They took care of each other and I thought that was sweet.

Roommates, best friends, and lovers...Mitchell and Ben are both afraid to admit they’re in a relationship, because they don’t think they can be monogamous. Mitchell has had feeling for Hailey for over a year, but never asked her out. Ben, however, meets her and instigates a one-night stand the same night, then encourages Mitchell to go for it too. The three develop a relationship and feelings and try to sort out how a triad could work for them.

Suggested as something a little different, clearly polyamory research done by writer, erotic readers will enjoy ménage as well as singular pairings between all parties.

Warnings for vivid sexual descriptions.

Can't seem to get enough menage books lately (good ones at least...) and I liked this one quiet a bit.

Hannah Stewart knows what she likes, and it doesn't include relationships. She has enough on her plate with her fledgling adult novelty shop, Yes Please. But even with an arsenal of sex toys at her disposal, she's hit a dry spot—one she wishes the sexy Mitchell Fredericks would help her out with.There's just one snag. His sexy roommate and business partner, Ben Harrington.The last thing she wants to do is come between their friendship.When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Elia Winters is magnifysent writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.

WOW! I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Normally, ménage books can be nothing but hot and dirty sex, but this book has lots of emotion, feeling, romance, and fun!

Mitchell and Ben are absolutely delightful! From the moment we meet them, their friendly banter is contagious. Even before learning of their sexual relationship, you like their friendship. It was fun to watch Ben realize how to open his heart again. Mitchell is just the heart of it all.

Hannah was not as lovable for me, but her adventuresome spirit and determination are great qualities to find. I did feel her need for independence and refusal to consider help were very off-putting. She was even unwilling to listen to her best friend. Yes, she comes around eventually, but overall I just felt she lacked emotional depth.

I found myself smiling frequently while reading this book. I wouldn't be opposed to another installment from these 3!

Hannah Stewart has been attracted to Mitchell for a long while but is frightened of starting any type of relationship that needs commitment. The ideal solution comes to her after meeting his business partner and friends with benefits, Ben, but things can only get complicated as they get more heated. Enjoyable. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own
