Thank you to NetGalley.

No one under 21 should read this book. It's very graphic and erotic. I enjoyed it though and never thought I'd be reading about swingers in a swingers bar/club. Elena and Eric are married and have been swinging a long time with other couples. They meet Jess at the club, where she is a bartender, and befriend her. They all get involved in a menage a trois. Not every page was sex but close enough. More with Elena and Jess than with Eric but he gets in the action too. They treat each other with respect.

The only thing that drove me crazy is that the author kept saying the blonde and the brunette (meaning Jess and Elena) when in the sentence before or after she used their names. Of course they mean them.

This book takes a peek inside a world that is foreign to many. Each of the main characters Eric, Elena, and Jess bring along unexpected baggage. Elenena is the one always seen as the Hispanic girl which shouldn't be that uncommon in Miami but leads to lots of microagressions. Jess group up in the focus care system never feeling wanted and so doesn't know how to put down roots. Eric is a pilot for a major airline but really just wants to be a photographer. The three meet in a swingers club where Eric and Elena are member and Jess is working as a bartender. Sparks fly and the ending is not what you expect.

I received a complimentary copy of We Three in exchange for an honest review. This is the first time I've dabbled into a swinger lifestyle novel, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The writing style was decent, and I enjoyed getting to know Erica and Elena Danner. Jessica seemed like an outlier, and I'm still not sure how they developed into all having feelings for each other. This was a neutral read with no preferences to like or dislike it.

Review: A steamy story about a photographer/pilot and his wife/photography subject, who find a third (unicorn, if you will) for photo sessions and seduction. The characters are mostly developed, although I think some of the supporting characters are throwaways with no real development or interaction. The relationship between Jessica and Elena is far more developed, while Eric remains on the fringes. There is a minimal plot, but really only moves the story forward into the next sexual encounter. The ending is abrupt, jarring, and seems completely out of place. Overall, this might be a good read if you're looking for more FF action, with a bit of variety into FFM scenes.

Note: I received a free copy of this ebook from the publisher via NetGalley. My review is my own.

I haven’t read a book of this genre before, so thought I would give it a try! I was pleasantly surprised that there was a reasonable story in between the sex scenes and the developing relationship between the main three characters was sensitively and believably depicted. The sex scenes gave plenty of variety in nature and were very erotic. The story follows Eric and his wife who are regular members of a swingers club and their relationship with Jess, a bartender at the club. Initially drawn by a strong sexual attraction between the two women the relationship between the three develops. As other reviewers have mentioned the end did seem a bit abrupt and could have been expanded for a more satisfying ending. However, I really enjoyed my first dabble in erotica and am sure it will not be my last!
My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read a digital copy of this book in return for an honest review.

Thank you to netgalley, the author and the publisher for a copy of the book.

Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Review: this book promises steam from start to finish and does not disappoint. When Eric and Elena, a married couple into swinging, first lock eyes on Jess the chemistry is instantaneous. They find themselves drawn to eachother. This book follows their journey of playing with eachother solo and in a consenting trio to introducing Jess to the life of a swinger. All three are able to explore their fantasies but soon real feelings develop and i wish this had been elaborated on more but otherwise this was a quick, steamy and enjoyable read!

I chose this title to read and review based on the cover and then the blurb on the back. It is always a coin toss what kinds of details are included or left out with books in this genre. I felt the author balanced the sex and real-life scenes pretty well. I also felt the language was accurate, and it did not deter away from the story itself. It is not a book filled with naughty scenes throughout, which I appreciated. I felt We Three was well written, and I felt the author did an amazing job sharing the different points of view throughout the book. I will look for more books by this author.

Hmmm... I'm not sure where to put this one, in my "liked it" or "not so much" category... Granted, the book has some seriously hot scenes, but the ending was so rushed, and the all along the way I couldn't really feel the chemistry between Eric and Jess...

Eric and Elena Tanner are happily married and also indulge in a free swinging relationship. The new bartender, Jess, catches Elena's eye so Eric invites her to join them. Their meetings continue amongst their party lifestyle and they start to feel that they want more. This is certainly a hot story with many scenes and I got the impression their story was only just starting when we got to the end. There were definitely a few loose ends but I found it enjoyable especially the FF scenes which I often find tedious in previous books I've read.

I originally wasn't going to review this book, I guess I requested it by mistake.

But I read most of it. I'm not sure how books of this type are rated, but in my opinion, it needed a bit more story. I understand it's erotica, but there are things hinted at in the story line that are not expanded on. So why bring them up?

When I randomly came across this on NetGalley, I went into this with such low expectations. But I was pleasantly surprised to see how great this was.

What I loved most about this was, of course, the sex scenes. They were well-written and I thought the three main characters had such amazing chemistry with one another. Though Jess and Elena had slightly more chemistry; I was LIVING for their encounters.

I also liked how this wasn’t just a typical erotica novel. But there was substance and a plot. I enjoyed reading about each of their backstories as it made me sympathize more with the main characters.

One thing I was turned off by however, was the abrupt ending. There seemed to have been a time jump from one chapter to the next and I found that quite jarring.

All in all, I loved this book so freaking much. I want to read more books like this one in the future.

This book was ok. It seemed more of a romance between the two women. I found the book a bit tiring and meh.

3.5 stars

I grabbed this book when I saw it was FFM, something there are too few books of. Most menage stories are MMF. I was further drawn to it due to the swinging aspect. Another thing I don't often see in fiction.

The author did a good job on both fronts. I loved the dynamics between the couple and was happy they found their elusive unicorn. (A person happy to join a couple). The sex scenes were plentiful, an even though I figured they would be considering this is an erotic novel, they bordered on being too much.

What lowered my rating was the overwhelming use of terms like - the brunette, the blonde, the other woman, blue eyes, etc. I find them jarring and distancing. To start with, I was adamant I wouldn't mention such in my review, as I guess that could be a style preferences. But by the mid point they irritated me so much, I had to set the book aside...never a good thing.

If you're looking for an erotic romance with plenty of FF, FFM & FMF scenes, and a glimpse into the swinging lifestyle, this could be just the ticket.

So I need to pay. more attention when I choose books because this one was published in 2019. Oops. Anyway, this book is about a swingers couple who find their unicorn. While the book certainly has some hot parts, overall the book feels forced. This is a FF book that is trying to be FFM or FMF... but it is really a FF. I never felt the connection between the three of them, or even the husband and wife. Even the story behind their marriage feeds the feeling they're good friends but not really a couple. It left me wishing that this was only an FF book as that was the storyline focused on.

I liked the way polyamorous relationship and swinging couples were worked here, but at the end I miss some kind of story among the three of them besides sex. The sex scenes were really hot and well written, but that's it. It was just a book with a lot of well written sex scene and safe sex.

What can I say about this book? It was ok. Honestly, I only read half of the book & gave up. I have to write at least a 100 characters but it's difficult to know what to say.

This book was too long. The story wasn't developed enough to sustain that length. There really wasn't much character growth and the ending was way too abrupt

Eric and Elena enjoy swinging and meeting others at Club Caliente, when they meet Jess, sparks fly. One night wasn’t enough with Jess they like just hanging out together. Can they have a relationship between the three? Fast-paced read with sizzling chemistry, lots of emotion and steam. I liked it.

I thought this one was really brilliantly done. It’s definitely salacious but managed to be extremely descriptive without seeming vulgar and taboo without being unbelievable. I don’t read a lot of this genre anymore because it always seems like the plot is ridiculous and the writing seems crude, but this book avoids that. Only the weight bench seemed clunky and a little awkward. But still, this is definitely a quick and entertaining read, even if it’s not your particular thing.

We Three by Lara Zielinsky was a steamy read. The characters were realistically developed and likeable. While not my type of relationship style, the three people grew from casual to loving and it was nice to read about. I will be reading more books by this author.

***** I received an ARC from NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my honest review. *****
