I decided to read this book one day because I was bored. I was shocked that there actually was somewhat of a plot! However, the "plot" was absolutely ridiculous and completely unrealistic. The amount of times that the word "lover" was used (sometimes within the same sentence) began to drive me nuts. Find another synonym!!

This one was basically just sex... nothing more... I felt there was barely even a plot/story behind it.. kinda flat
At least the sex was hot haha
Hoping the rest of this series is better than this!

A very interesting and fascinating novel. Thoroughly enjoyed it. A must-read novel. I found it to contain content that was satisfying and I enjoyed reading it.

Infamous Love by Livia Grant is a delightful, light read. The setting is fun and starts out in France. Circumstances put Emma in jeopardy and Jaxson and Chase are there to help. The pace and variety of hot scenes keep it interesting and hot. There are a few points where my belief in chance are stretched. Yet, I fell in love and routed for the characters to stay together. This is an enjoyable read and I highly recommend it.

This story was amateurishly written and entirely unrealistic. An educated woman falls into a BDSM threesome in a matter of minutes and then she and her two supermodel boyfriends pine for each other after they part 6 hours later? The entire book is absurd.

Hot, steamy and sexy are the words that describe Infamous Love. The trio of Jaxson, Chase and Emma is one that has the reader smiling as they read.

I'm being generous here- I felt the self-conscious judgy/shamey vibe was cringeworthy, and this would, passable, only fly as a beach read.
I guess it's ok if all you want is a no brainer, steamy read, but this just took the suspension of disbelief too far for me.

Thank you NetGalley for the digital ARC of this book. What can i say? who doesn't like a sinfully dirty erotic book? Who doesn't want to have sex on a train with a perfect stranger? Thank you for a glance into a wonderful world of having everything you could want in a man, even if there are 2! LOL

A slow burn at first but built up to be pretty, uh, spicy 4.5 rounded uP

Jaxton is a great character. Typical male who has something to prove to the word. Chase is the typical side kick who is also in love with Jaxton. Emma is the typical girl who keeps putting herself down, because she is not thin enough or pretty enough. She is just typical. But her simplicity is what bring them together, she is the glue in the relationship, and with her the relationship is just better. I love the story at the beginning. I think it was really good, after saying that, I rally think that there were opportunities where the characters and the romance could have developed more. Such as when Jaxton goes and confronts Emma's teacher, or when her father arrives and finds out the truth, he was just like, "ok! It's fine" not very realistic.

Well this was a rollacoster of romance and not much else. Perfect if all you want it those romantic feeling that winter seems to bring out of us all

I was looking for erotica one day and stumbled into this book. It took a while to get into the action and the story was a bit all over the place, but the book was not too bad.

This was certainly a steamy 🔥 🔥 🔥 read! Although the premise is completely fake and in the realm of “never gonna happen” it was a nice set up to a book full of hot sex. There are a great deal of grammatical and syntax error, so I’m hoping they’ll edit it up a bit before publishing.

2.5 stars

While reading this book, I had to keep reminding myself it was fiction because not a lot of it was believable. For the most part, it read like a fat girl's fantasy of having two hunky men sweep her off her feet...and whisk her away, leaving all the skinny consumed by jealousy.

From the getgo, the heroine, who herself is self-conscious, judges every other woman on their size. I detest thin-shaming as much as I hate fat-shaming, so those parts were hard to read. And, largely (no pun intended) unnecessary.

I did not care one bit for Jaxson or what's his name? You know, the two dudes who were f*%king but weren't gay...because, you know, it's complicated.

Rather than rip this book a new a$$hole, I'm going to leave off by saying, if you're looking for a book heavy on sex and light on much else, have at it.

Oh, one other thing, if an author's going to bring up safe sex, please don't stop at 'are you on the pill?" These guy have been banging anything with a pulse, yet not once was the issue of contracting an STD raised. Don't get my wrong, I'm not the condom police, but either don't mention safe sex or address the issue properly.

Oh, and I get mixing up terminology, but come on, none of these terms are erotic - His protrusion, adjusting his insertion, fornication, her bottom, her globes, keeping her snatch shaved

Okay, I need to stop. It's clear this book didn't work for me.

oh, one more thing. No, never mind.

I just loved this book. Jaxson, Emma and Chase gel so well together, yet are so cool by themselves.
It's a good mix of sweet, spicy and chilli-pepper hot - a beautiful story woven through,
I'd love to read more by Livia Grant.

I tried, I really tried! Quite frankly I am shocked with all of the high reviews. Things moved to quickly with no character set up for me. I never felt a connection to the characters or the story.
Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for this ARC.

This was a good book in regards to the best friend, always the designated driver, always the responsible girl gone bad. The characters where well developed. The Story was okay.

The first half of this book is kind of a dumpster fire. If you can stick with it until the characters return to America it is a pretty standard romance novel.

Cons:
Entire first chapter is slut shaming and girl-hate by the main character

Second chapter features some light misogyny from our male leads

So much body shaming from every direction

There is attempted rape, which of course the men save Emma (our female MC from)

Early on the main male characters justify their predatory and domineering behavior as 'protecting her' because she has a concussion .... then they tell her to go to sleep, drink alcohol and have rough sex with her (including hair pulling)

Every single time someone refers to butt cheeks it is called a globe. Every. Single. Time.

Main male character disregards the privacy/autonomy of the female character multiple times and when she gets upset about it he punishes her

Pros:
Polyamory representation

Bisexual representation

The sex is pretty good

Use of safewords

Use of warm up spankings

They don't immediately dive into anal ( but there still should have been waaaay more prep)

I'm a bit disappointed in that story, as characters were too childish/too immature, but I wanted to love it so much.
Emma is a grad student and she met two moels while in France they had crazy sex, and after a day... those guys still crave girl that they had met by accident!
Sounds crazy? It was and it made me feel like the story was spinning out of control.

A lovely and very hot menage story. Loved the main characters and their relationship.

I love a book where characters aren't perfect and have struggles. That always makes it easier to relate to the characters. And they find the strenght to stand up for themselves and the ones they love.

And did I mention hot. My ereader was steaming up.

Looking forward to reading more about Emma, Chase and Jax in the next book.
