Appassionato
[Menage Amour: Erotic Paranormal Menage a Trois Romance, M/M/F]
When Emma dreams about super-famous rockstar Duncan and his friend Jake, it never occurs to her they might be dreaming, too. About her. Everyone knows dreams aren't real, but what will happen when the trio's shared visions develop into a passion that can't be denied?
When reports of a new "bonding" phenomenon surface, Duncan and Jake finally realize why they feel so connected to the sweet high-school librarian they've never met. The headaches and dreams suddenly make sense, but it isn't until they meet Emma face-to-face that instinct takes over, and passion binds their minds and bodies into a link that can't be broken.
Then, just as the happy ending Emma always hoped for seems possible, a hostage crisis and a series of kidnappings threatens everything. Can the trio unravel the conspiracy in time to protect the future of their bond?

When I read the review for this book I was really excited. I love the concept of the book and the whole idea is great as its really different. I loved the characters but it had a major floor for me and that it was meant to be a menage relationship but it was very one sided. I felt that the two men got too much of the story, they were too much into each other and Emma was just there. I'm sorry but that put me right off and I had to fight myself to read it too the end which was a real pity! A menage story should be well rounded with all three characters! I so wanted to love this story!!!

Emma dreams about a famous rock star Duncan and his friend Jake, it never occurs to her they might be dreaming, too. This was a really good book I am not a really big fan of reading sifi, but I liked this one. They started out having erotic dreams about each other Duncan who is bisexual and has been in love with his best friend Jake for years, but Jake is straight and he is fine with them just being friends. When reports of a new "bonding" phenomenon surface, Duncan and Jake finally realize why they feel so connected to the sweet high-school librarian they’ve never met Emma. The first signs is the tattoos that appear on their arms along with the dreams, which are hot and once these three hookup at one of Duncan's concerts sparks fly for them. This book did have it's ups and downs to me like bonded couples being kidnapped so they can have their blood drawn so that people can make a new drug. I also wanted to know what happened to Emma's friend Julie and what did the vice principle of her school have to do with it. This book was well written and it flowed really well and the scenes were hot. This was a good book for the beginning of a new series for me I am looking forward to reading the rest of it. If you like reading m/m/f like I do I would recommend that you read this book hot rock star and action.

Emma is a school librarian. She starts having erotic dreams about 2en she's never met. She later finds out they are Duncan, a famous musician and his best friend Jake. And this starts a harrowing adventure for three strangers brought together by outside forces.
I absolutely LOVED this book. It had humor, romance, mystery, and music. The perfect combination. Erin M. Leaf is an amazing storyteller and I'm anxious to read the next book in the Dream Marked series.

This is the kind of book I have missed for a long, long, long time ❣️ First of all, conservative has no excuse to use violence against any human being. I pray Ms Brown gets her comeuppance real soon ❗❗ This book has all the elements I like in a novel that I prefer that gets my blood pumping ❣️ it has action, and uncommon romance, fantasy, and a menage a trois ❣️❣️ Can't wait to read the rest of these series I'm sure it will be just as good as this book ⁉️

Bought on bookstrand during their time machine sell. Good thing this is not the first book i’ve read in the series, i’ve read the 3rd if i’m not mistaken which was good, because mah lawd, this one was quite… sorry but bland. Never would i thought i would ever complain about a novel with too much sex lol. The bonded mates system building explaination was late and patchy throughout the novel. But i will definitely finish the series.

hello let me tell you the emergency kit for this book the kit includes tissues, dry panties, ice cream, a stress ball and sometimes on rare occasions pillow to scream in.
i found this book a rare read its not often you find a book about a triad where the males in the relationship enjoy each other as much as they enjoy their female counter part i think this book had more m/m sex than triad sex.
you have emma she's a small town high school librarian she begins having sexy dream of two men she ends up recognizing one as a big time musician and the other is his best friend after weeks of painful headaches and uncomfortable feelings a mark appears on her arms and she begins to feel their feelings as they can hers then she views a report on a new phenomenon called bond where couples were being marked and feeling each others feeling and as soon as the reports come out they disappear leaving her wondering whats going on.
i wont go further into the book other than to say i loved it i usually read breed and were books and even the occasional Scottish book and some aliens and this is a favorite so far the author makes it seem like your right there with them watching as they teased, argued and even fought for their lives and when they went on stage i felt this book to be a good read and anyone who likes sci-fi paranormal type books should really give it a read i can see this author going far enjoy!

Wow, this story is smoking hot. I loved it! Duncan and Jake were so cute with their open-mindedness, Jake's willingness to give it a go with Duncan, they affection for Emma... so cute. The sex was great, a bit vanilla but with the psychic stuff thrown in it was great.
What did bother me was the random suspense thrown in, but it was never completely resolved. Not even a rock star can get away with what Duncan did, and basically that entire part was highly improbable. I'm guessing this will be explained better in the next part of the series, but so far I found it to be a somewhat clumsy introduction.

3 1/2 stars. Really rather quite liked this book and the men were very sexy. It was a bit slow to get started and was a little preposterous towards the end with multiple emerging powers that came with an innate knowledge of how to use them. Also I felt the identity of the bad guy was a bit of a cop out and probably would have been better as a complete unknown. In a story like this people are going to have prejudices but this particular bad guy was a little far fetched and unrealistic. Nevermind, overall a lot of fun and a good read.

4.5 stars. I really love the concept of the bonding. I would have loved a little more suspense that is why I gave it 4.5 stars. Sex was smoking hot but at times I felt like they were more into each other and she was just there as an after thought but then again Duncan has been in love w/Jake almost all of his life and this was a brand new feeling for Jake. Off to the next book :)

This was totally weird. And I usually like weird, but this was. . . weird. So weird, I don't know why I gave it four stars. But I did really like it despite how weird it was. (Have I written the word "weird" enough times for you to get the idea?)

A really interesting story with a great concept. Loads of steamy scenes and a nice bit of intrigue on the side. I am really interested in seeing where this series is going!

I just couldn't get into this. I was bound and determined to finish it. It took a while to finish.
