Two unique, smoking hot, and amazing men are best friends to Lauren. Jason and Russell have been the best of friends for many years... Does Lauren risk their friendship for a chance at more? Or, will she walk away to protect them all?I found this book to be extremely thrilling. Not in the sense of adventure, or suspense, but the affairs of the heart. Emotions are the most intense when dealing with relationships and how to walk the line of what is right, wrong, possible, or impossible. You find in Trifecta this tightrope. When given the ultimatum....do you choose friendship or love? I found this story to be a beautiful telling of how deeply one can feel and the lengths you will go for that love. The descriptions were spot one, and the internal turmoil she faces is phenomenal. Its written extremely well. The heartbreak is hard to read, and the love scenes are very potent! For a menage, this was beautifully done. I'm not normally a reader of this genre, and it was a book that I will undoubtedly read many times. I enjoyed it immensely and I recommend it to all. Book – TrifectaAuthor – Kim CarmichaelStar rating – ★★★★★Would I read it again – Yes.Plot – nicely interwoven, good balanceCharacters – amazing, funny, sweet, relatableMovie Potential – ★★★★★ (possibly R rated)Ease of reading – very easy to read.** I WAS GIVEN THIS BOOK BY THE AUTHOR, IN RETURN FOR AN HONEST REVIEW **This book had me smiling from beginning to end.I love the characters. They’re complicated, normal human beings, with their own issues. But when they come together, the whole world is right again. I LOVE that. Lauren is sassy and emotional and tormented by her feelings for the two best friends in her life. Russell is serious and focused and confused about his own feelings, but he lets Jason guide him and that is just beautiful. Jason himself is artistic and talented, but he doubts himself and his work and his worth. He struggles to find any happiness outside of his studio or the bedroom, but he’s also free and easy going and loyal to his best friends.There is so much I could say about this book and what it did to me. I’ll try to keep it short so I don’t bore you. This is actually my first venture into the M/M/F genre. I’ve read plenty of M/F and M/M stories, but never with three people involved or with the dynamics of this story.The important thing I want to get across here is that this book isn’t about sex. Yes, there are numerous threesomes throughout the story, some very hot and sexy scenes even, but the entire point of the story is that sex isn’t always the answer. It is never the be-all and end-all of a relationship, unless the people in that relationship choose to make it so. I think you can all tell by now that I’ve fallen in love with this book and it’s characters.The really beautiful thing, that I loved, about this story is that we have these three slightly damaged, insecure characters, but when they come together, everything is perfect. They don’t function without each other and even when they attempt to, it proves a disaster. I love that we get into the mindset of each character, throughout the story. I think that is so important. It lets us understand them and see the things that the other two can’t, which makes the revelation when it finally comes, all the sweeter.When I started this book, I really thought that Russell was going to be my favourite of the boys. I’ve never been one to swoon for the artistic types, but I do have a very big weakness for 1950′s chic, professional men. And that’s what Russell is, but the more I read, the more I connected with Jason as well and felt myself becoming more and more in love with him. If these two boys were real life people in my life, I would like Lauren. I would take what I could get with them, while I could because these two are keepers. I love them both, probably not really that equally, but equally enough to know that I could never choose between them.In my journey of falling in love with the boys, I discovered some things. I really appreciated and adored the doubt in Russell, about being ‘open’ about their 3-way relationship. Let me just say that the visit to his parents house was EPIC and I was so proud of him. I loved how artistic and free Jason is and how he really drove the relationship forward and then lost his way. I found myself reading this late into the early morning, unwilling to put it down. And when I did, it was barely ten minutes before I changed my mind and picked it up again. I wasn’t going to sleep until the story was done any way, so thanks to the author for another sleepless night. :)I have to commend Kim on her writing. It’s been a while since I was so wrapped up in a story and its characters and their fate. I laughed, I cried, I had to stifle giggles at 4am and I loved. It takes a heck of a lot to make me fall in love with a character. But I fell in love with all three of these, in my own way. And unlike a lot of books I’ve read, I didn’t hate anyone. Lol. I could have, since Dr Douche was a real pill sometimes, but I actually liked him. He was playful and fun and a definite possibility. I can see why Lauren was attracted to him and I could see how she believed she could have a happy married life with him, if that was the choice she made.But I’m not going to tell you what choice she made.READ THE BOOK! Seriously. I really…beg you…read it and then come back and tell me I was wrong.
What do You think about Trifecta (2013)?
