Sex. Love. Repeat. by Alessandra Torre ~ Blog Tour and Giveaway

Synopsis

I love two men. I screw two men. I am in a relationship with them both, and they are both aware there is another. That is all they need to know, that is all I let them know. They don’t need to know a name; they don’t need to know anything, but that they are not alone in my heart.

They have accepted the situation. Stewart, because his life is too busy for the sort of obligations that are required in a relationship. Paul, because he loves me too much to tell me no. And because my sexual appetite is such that one man has trouble keeping up.

So we exist, two parallel relationships, each running their own course, with no need for intersection or conflict. It works for us, for them, and for me. I don’t expect it to be a long-term situation. I know there is an expiration date on the easy perfection of our lives.

I should have paid more attention, should have looked around and noticed the woman who watched it all. She sat in the background and waited, tried to figure me out. Saw my two relationships, the love between us, and the moment that it all fell apart.

She hates me.

I don’t even know she exists.

She loves them. I love them.

And they love me.

EVERYTHING else hangs in the balance.

Review

This is just one of those rare instances I am not going to discuss the plot of the book, I just really can’t talk about the plot without ruining it for the reader. If you’re looking for a book that is steamy, you don’t see the twists and turns coming, and will keep you guessing and leave your mouth hanging open until the very end this is the book for you. 4 stars

The characters:

Madison

I didn’t want to like her, you read the book synopsis and my first thoughts were what a hoe! But, Madison is beautiful on the outside as well as on the inside, so I found myself really liking her. It was easy to see how both Paul and Stewart could fall in love with her.

Paul

So sweet, easy and laidback. A surfer who would do anything for Madison just so he could have her in his life, that make’s Paul all the more sexier.

Stewart

A Business who oozes sex out of his pores. He’s dedicated to his job, work is his life, but he makes time to screw Madison. There is just pure, animalistic lust between him and Madison that will melt your panties.

Favorite Quotes:

“Sex should be about mutual enjoyment, connection, the borrowing from another’s fire at a moment when you want it most.”

“God.... he whispers. “You are my fucking kryptonite.” He leans down pressing soft kisses on my hair and forehead, his hand releasing me and cradling my face, turning it up to his, and kissing my fully and deeply on the lips. “I love you Madison. For everything.”

“The heart is stubborn. It holds onto love despite what sense and emption tells it. And it is often, in the battle of these three, the most brilliant of all. “

"The three of us. Living two separate relationships. I get that you don't understand. That you wonder how someone could possibly be aroused, turned on by the thought of something so forbidden. But often, it is the forbidden that is the hottest, and the depraved that is the most arousing."

Finals Thoughts

Loved this one! The ending was wrapped up perfectly, and I loved that the story kept me guessing until the very end.
