Girl Most Likely To

by Barbara Elsborg

Wren doesn't feel like the girl most likely to end up living happily ever after. Especially when Adam, aka THE BIG MISTAKE, comes back into her life. He wants a second chance but Wren's afraid to risk another dent in her battered heart. When Adam reconnects with Wren, he's torn between wooing her and pursuing Tomas, the sexy guy in the flat next door. They both make his heart sing-how can he possibly choose? Or maybe he's finally found a man and woman to give him the balance he craves. Tomas knows better than to let his personal life interfere with his job as an undercover officer but he can't get enough of Adam...or Wren. Or Adam and Wren, when they're hot, naked and writhing together in his bed. Suddenly Wren's gone from the girl most likely to get ripped off to the girl most likely to get off. But it's more than sex. She, Tomas and Adam have something special, something they're determined to protect at all costs.

About the author

Barbara Elsborg lives in Kent in the south of England. She always wanted to be a spy, but having confessed to everyone without them even resorting to torture, she decided it was not for her. Volcanology scorched her feet. A morbid fear of sharks put paid to marine biology. So instead, she spent several years successfully selling cyanide.

After dragging up two rotten, ungrateful children and frustrating her sexy, devoted, wonderful husband (who can now stop twisting her arm) she finally has time to conduct an affair with an electrifying plugged-in male, her laptop.

Her books feature quirky heroines and bad boys, and she hopes they are as much fun to read as they are to write.

After reading Kiss a Falling Star I was soo wanting another book with these characters and posted that comment under another goodreads friends review. Well, was I lucky or what because Barbara herself saw the comment and informed us that she did have another book that took one of the secondary characters from KAFS and we got his story too in this book. We only got a small glimpse of Ally and Casper in this book but that was fine with me because this was Adam's story.

I have to say that I did REALLY like this book but it did not hit me in the gut as much as Kiss a Falling Star did. The characters were really good but for me they just were not as raw and unique as the characters in Strangers and also Kiss A Falling Star were. Now don't get me wrong here because they were good and if your a fan of Barbara's book's I'm sure you will like these characters as much as I did.

This book was a menage book with the two males being Bi and then the female. The love scenes were EXTREMELY HOT with some scorching M/M action along with M/W and some explosive M/W/M scenes. If your not into these types of love scenes then this book is not for you but if you are, your in for a treat.

The story line was very good and was a bit of a suspense thriller that kept me interested all the way through.

So all that being said, this was not my favorite Barbara Elsborg book but still a VERY good read. I'm really happy that I was told about this book and I will definitely be reading many more of Barbara's book's in the near future.

Wonderful!
Evil bad guys, a fun mystery, marvelous connection between the MC's, and super steamy romance. Just a winner all around.

Like all of Barbara Elsborg's novels, you can read Girl Most Likely To as a standalone, but if you want to know where Adam comes from, you'll want to eventually read Kiss a Falling Star - simply fabulous as well!

If you like erotica, but want a good, well written story with engaging characters, Barbara Elsborg would be my go-to author. I have found her stories to bring out my emotions with the intense relationships and connections she creates between her H&h's. Her sex scenes are steamy and inventive and her plots are edgy and creative. No "B" movie porn like a lot of erotica I have read with the cheesy dialog that makes you gag, Barbara Elsborg is a great story teller.

That being said Girl Most Likely To didn't capture me like Strangers, Kiss a Falling Star, or An Ordinary Girl, Elsborg's other books I have read. I didn't feel the romance or the intimacy between the main characters as strongly as I expected or wanted, but there was definitely chemistry and scorching sex scenes. I felt the story/plot was much stronger and involving than the romance.

I also thought the menage relationship between Wren and her bisexual partners Tomas and Adam was written well though I am not a fan of 3 people loving equally. It isn't believable for me and not what I want for my HEA's.

If erotica, menage, and three equal partners in a relationship are hot buttons for you, then you will love this book because it has the extra bonus of an action packed plot.

This MMF romance is executed in the same vein as my favorite BE novel, Kiss A Falling Star, with generous helpings of bad guys, quirky personalities, and sensuality. The interactions between Adam--the inconsiderate, demanding, bastard of a boss from KAFS--Tomas, and Wren were entertaining and heartfelt. In the classroom. In the bedroom. And in usual BE fashion, the heroine was awkwardly fearless. In a confrontation with her boss, Olive, Wren calls her a rancid, dehydrated beetroot. In defense, Wren tells Adam, “I wasn’t going to walk out without a parting shot, though I’m not sure you can be rancid and dehydrated." These fun, oddball characters, paired with high-quality writing are why I continue to come back for more BE novels.

Full Review posted on Book Lovin' Mamas

Wren was one strong female character who happened to get her self into a lot of trouble through the book, but she handles it well.
Adam had his insecurities about having a relationship with Wren and Tomas and if they were willing to be a threesome.  He was trying everything to come to terms to what happened to him in the past.
Tomas had his past he had to deal with and get over.  He was trying everything to keep his secret hidden, but when it fell through, he just wanted to keep everyone he loved safe.
If you love erotica that involves menage, that includes lots of sex (regular, anal, etc.) and also enjoy some suspense and action, you will enjoy "Girl Most Likely to."
You will also eventually find out the meaning behind the title of the book.  =)
I will be checking out Barbara's other books very soon.

Wow!! I loved this book!! The character development that Ms Elsborg gives each of her books is so amazingly well done. This is my second m/m/f book, and once again, I was floored. The sex scenes are so beautifully done, hot, steamy, intimate-- add some love and wow!! I loved Tomas, Adam and Wren. The plot had some twists I didn't see coming, some suspense and an ending that made my heart melt :) another fantastic book!! A def must read!!

I put off reading this book, because it was one of the last remaining books of Barbara Elsborg's that I hadn't read yet and I wanted to make them last. Well I couldn't wait anymore, and I was not dissappointed at all. Only she can make a threesome relationship seem like something not so out of the ordinary.
Don't wait like I did, read this book.

[Sara Connor · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a 4.7 at least!!!
I was really surprised by the authors lay of the plot, she perfectly mixed the most erotic scenes with a catchy thriller plot that kept me reading,entertained as well as expectant all the time. Laughed several times with the main character Wren, too.

[Krista · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well- 5 stars since it made me laugh. Repeatedly. Not a fan of how the heroine was able to almost instantly orgasm but maybe she is just gifted? What do I know.

It centers around a language school in Leeds where our heroine teaches and can speak many languages including ... Elvish. And just like the other book by Ms. Elsborg that I read- its a bit crazy. The plots are very different and involved, which is not a bad thing, its just simple on the surface and then whoa- dark side. BDSM club, sex trafficking, Mafia style men, etc.

Its a MMF book that I might have skipped if I hadn't read a blurb about Adam in a previous book (Caspar and Ally) and I really liked Tomas for some reason. They all fit together well -ahem- I mean personality wise people! Although, they did "fit" well together. Its pretty hot, not gonna lie. It was a nice twist for Adam and Wren to have a past connection that flared to life, made it more believable.

[Icegaze · Rating 3 out of 5]

Characters are good and story is entertaining.

Formatting issues made it difficult to figure out whose head you were in when there were switches between the three after the first couple chapters. Annoying, but didn’t make the story unreadable.

Wished there was more of the three being a three, but plot’s gotta plot I guess. Bad guy was stereotypical and boring. Plot twists were obvious, but isn’t that the point? To lead bread crumbs to readers?

Worth a read.

I just could not get into the characters. The sex scenes fell flat for me, and this book just was a dud... normally I LOVE MMF books. Unfortunately this was a DNF... I will have to try another Barbara Elsborg book though since she is a highly-rated author.

[Кат · Rating 5 out of 5]

This MMF story was great. I enjoyed the characters. I would have liked to know more about Tomas’ childhood but the story was such a well paced ride that I barely noticed.
I read this in one day because I couldn’t put it down. I definitely will read this again.

I enjoyed this, though not as much as the other two stories I've read so far by Ms. Elsborg. It was still great, though.

This is the story of Wren, Tomas, and Adam. Adam and Wren had a quick but explosive tryst in Italy five years prior. They were separated in a crowd, and they didn't even know each other's names. But five years later, Adam is "forced" in vacation by his personal assistants. These assistants who Adam was secretly in lust with, but who were in love with each other and had just gotten married and were going on a honeymoon. So while they were gone, they made sure Adam had somewhere to go, too. They sent him to study languages for three weeks. Turns out, Wren is an instructor there, and neither can resist the pull of the other. Not that Adam tried. Wren was a huge regret in his life, and now that he'd found her again, he wouldn't let her go.

The apartment he was staying in was next door to Tomas. Tomas who is also bisexual and who immediately recognizes the attraction from Adam. But Tomas is working undercover and has to pretend to be a really bad guy. Tomas doesn't need distractions or for anyone to get mixed up with him, so he tries very hard to resist Adam. Tomas is faking an Albanian accent, and his boss wants him to go to the language school to try to get more information for him. So now we have Tomas, Wren and Adam all in the same place. And sparks they are a-flyin'.

One night, Adam learns that Wren translated erotic books, and her favorites involved two men and one woman. Which would be perfect for Adam since he's pretty sure he can't pick between men and women... he's already attracted to Tomas and is pretty sure Wren is, too. He knows Tomas is attracted to Wren. And of course there's chemistry between Adam and Wren. Seems like win/win, right? But after Wren sees Adam and Tomas kissing, she thinks she's out of the mix.

In the meantime, Wren has accidentally gotten herself wrapped up in what Tomas is supposed to be investigating. And trouble ensues.

Ultimately, it's a great HEA. Great, hot, urgent, lusty sex. And Ms. Elsborg has some great lines. I laughed out loud a couple of times.

If you like quirky characters, M/F/M romance and brilliant dialogue, then you will enjoy this one from Barbara Elsborg.

I am a huge fan of Ms. Elsborg's writing. It's always witty and unexpected. Her characters draw you in leaving you wanting more. And that is exactly what happened in this book. After reading Kiss a Falling Star I was delighted to see there was another book that included Casper and Ally, both of whom I had fallen in love with from that one. They make a brief appearance in the beginning so that you can meet Adam, multimillionaire who needs to find something more in his life besides his work and his assistants. They send him on a forced holiday where he meets the gorgeous Tomas and the adorable Wren.

It turns out he and Wren have already met however. She has convinced herself he was THE BIG MISTAKE, and he is convinced he may have lost out on the love of his life. After an all too brief encounter in Venice, they get separated in a crowd and lose each other. It's not until Adam ends up at Ezispeke to learn a new language that he runs into her, literally. Wren is stunned to see him again. Tomas then shows up in her class and the flirting begins.

Unbeknownst to Wren and Adam, but not for long, Tomas is an undercover cop trying to bring down the evil Marco. Eventually Adam and Wren get caught up in his investigation and it gets crazy at the end. I wish this part of the book had been extended and I definitely wanted more of all of them. I felt like I didn't get to know them as well as I got to know Casper and Ally. Maybe there were too many characters and not enough time. The book definitely kept a great pace and had me on the edge as we got closer and closer to the eventual danger.

Now she needs to write a book about Wren's brothers!

This is my 3rd Barbara Elsborg book and I've enjoyed them all. Wren meets two men at her school where she teaches other langues. Adam, a self made millionaire but has a hard time relaxing and enjoying life. Tomas an under cover cop in the middle of a case. It just so happens that Tomas and Adam live next to one another and are very attracted to each other. Adam and Wren have a past, they met 5 years prior and had a wild night of passion. While Adam and Tomas are attracted to each other they are also both attracted to Wren who is attracted to both of them by the way. Adam pursues Wren but realizes how much he wants her he also wants Tomas. Adam is conflicted and doesn't want to hurt Wren but finds out that Wrens secret fantasy is being with 2 men so wheels start turning in Adams head. Even though Tomas is attracted to both Adam and Wren he is in the middle of a very dangerous case and doesn't want to put neither Adam or Wren at risk . But what the heart wants, the heart gets right? But as the heat turns up with the three of them and their sex is off the charts hot, Tomas' worst nightmare occurs.
Barbara does an excellent job of writing stories that suck you in emotionally. Yes, there's great sex but also a great story. What makes her great is the respect she conveys and the love that is between the three of them. Yes it's unconventional but who cares (who wouldn't want to be loved by 2 great hot guys, right?). This book is both sweet and sexy and of course hot!!!!!

The end felt rushed and very Deus ex machina...but hey, that's fiction for you. Loved the relationships built up between each couple before it was a triad. Really liked the mystery (as I said in my update: it's very on point given some of the headlines regarding human trafficking lately) and the sex was hot - although, I could have done without Tomas' need for Adam's Magic Penis™ to cure him of that fear of getting fucked. It just felt a little unnecessary to have him be the victim of sexual assault.

[MK · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like the story, how each of them have been given a chance to love even if their life is pretty complicated. I'm really curious on how they will live happily with the circumstances that seems to be following them everywhere. I feel nervous, thrilled and overwhelmed on whats happening to them. Overall I enjoy this book.

[Catina R. Sandager · Rating 4 out of 5]

All the feels!

Great plot. Loved the characters. The only complaint is the story is told in 3 POV, one for each character. That may change mid- chapter with no notice. So sometimes that gets confusing. Otherwise I really enjoy this story!
