"Calling the Shots" [Long Shots Series, Book 4] by Christine d'Abo

My Book Summary : Josh is the owner of Mavericks---a fantasy-enabling sex club that is a safe-haven for the members that go there. He's happy with his life (or so he thinks) and has big ambitions of getting investors so he can open up a second club in Montreal. However, before he heads out (if he can) he wants to bring together his two best friends, Oliver & Beth, the way he feels will work best ... by having a threesome with them. All of them are willing and their relationships grow but will it be as easy to push away his two best friends when the time comes? Moreover, when he tries will they be willing to let him go?

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars, this is about three broken souls learning to embrace who they really are while fighting the demons in their pasts and finding love in the process. I had such high hopes for this novel that it fell a bit short for me, which is very disappointing. =0/ Nevertheless, I enjoyed the characters, the dynamic sex scenes, and reading about the budding relationships between the three main characters. However, as most people commented about this novel, it is full of drama, drama, and more drama. More drama then I ever expected making this novel seem weighed down from the weight of it all. Since some of it was pretty heady stuff.

Overall, though, I do recommend this novel to those who are fans of this series as well to those who enjoy reading erotic m/f/m or m/m romances!!

Book Teaser(s) :

A deep blush colored the other man’s face and his eyes were opened wide. Was he just freaking out now about the vandalism? God, Josh hoped not. He was going to need both Oliver and Beth if they were going to keep this mess contained.
“You okay?” Josh stepped over a condom wrapper.
“You kissed me.”
Blinking, Josh’s mind couldn’t keep up with the shifting conversation. “What?”
“You kissed me.” Oliver didn’t seem upset so much as confused.
Josh would normally have some snappy comeback, something to kill the tension between them and brush off his actions. Honestly, he hadn’t even thought about it. Josh kissed Beth all the time, her cheek, forehead and even her lips. But not anyone else.
Not until now. ~ within Chapter 4

She jumped, letting out a squeak when the doorbell rang. Shit, she hadn’t even finished cleaning up. She ran through, straightening pillows, shoving dirty dishes into the dishwasher and kicking her kickboxing pads into the closet. She let out a breath as she tucked her hair behind her ears and ran her hands down the length of her leather skirt, before slipping into her boots and opening the door.
Josh’s large body filled most of the empty space. His long hair had slipped forward, framing his face as he grinned down at her. He looked feral, primitive, the sexiest she’d ever remembered seeing. “Well, hello there. Gorgeous.”
She pressed her hand to the side of her throat. “This old thing?”
“Tease.” ~ within Chapter 12
