Dubious: A Dark MMM Bi Awakening Romance
A divorcé and two male escorts walk into a luxury hotel…
Wes
My life is falling apart.
At forty-two, my wife left me, my brother barely tolerates me, and my boss is sleeping with my ex.
On top of everything else, employees at the hotel I work for seem to be disappearing.
I don’t know how much longer I can live like this.
A lifeline comes from the most unexpected place. Two of my brother’s friends. Male escorts. I should stay away, but I don’t.
To be honest, I thought I was straight. But they make me…feel things. Amazing things. Terrifying things.
Then disaster strikes. The three of us find ourselves involved in a situation I never imagined.
After, I’m not the same. And they’re the only ones who understand.
Adam and Troy
Since our childhood, we have been each other's ride or die.
We helped each other run away from dangerous homes. Kept each other alive.
Lately there's something missing. Or maybe that's someone.
When we first meet Wes, we’re only messing with him for fun.
Then the three of us need each other.
Which is when we realize.
He’s the something we’ve been missing.

Wes, Adam, and Troy 🖤
Sooo I’m a bit torn here. I really have enjoyed this author’s writing. And I enjoyed the drama / suspense aspects and the overarching plot across the books. But the romance? Couldn’t find it with a magnifying glass.
Ok that’s a tad dramatic. I enjoyed Adam and Troy’s friendship. They have been each other’s rock for years. The only person the other could count on. However, it does make it hard for me when there are friends, especially friends who hook up, that don’t recognize their feelings until someone else enters the picture? And even with them being in an official relationship now, it still just felt to me so separate. They even describe it once as bonded shelter pets. Which I fully agree, you can feel the obsession and protectiveness between them, but the romance seemed missing.
And then Wes. They loved to mess with him, and manipulate and confuse him. Honestly none of that bothers me. But I never felt the connection move to love. Troy was the main pursuer of Wes, and I could almost see a romantic relationship forming there. But other than Troy being like “what’s mine is his, what’s his is mine” I didn’t see how Adam felt about this moving to more. He was just following Troy’s lead.
The drama can definitely tend to err on OTT, and the ending felt a bit rushed. I would have liked a bit more resolution of them together, their love declarations and all of that wrapped up a bit better.
I’ve been really eager to learn more about Dean and Michael since book 1, so I’ll still be picking up their book! I’m intrigued to find out more of their backstory.

This series keeps getting better. We’ve met Troy, Adam, and Wes before, but the story itself works well as a standalone too.
The story gets straight into it; there’s no slow build or dragging it out. It’s tense, spicy, and really entertaining.
It’s dark, and there are some parts of the story that might be heavy for some people, but nothing goes into really dark depths, and those parts move on quite quickly. Lots happens in this book, but all of it feels necessary, and nothing feels like it’s just filler to pad out the story.
Loved that we got a taster for the next book too!

Okay I actually adore Adam, Troy and Wes together! I have loved this whole series, and I loved this MMM installment. Love the age gap and late bi-awakening aspects.
Their relationship does not start out traditionally, and there are a couple scenes with Adam and Troy with other people, but they aren’t detailed enough to be bothersome and are necessary for the development of the story.
Can’t wait for the next book!

Wow, I could not put this book down. We’ve met Westlake in the series before his brother is Fallon who is in a relationship with PJ. If I’ve got my hand on my heart west isn’t a character that I liked very much. He came across as a snob putting his beliefs on other people sometimes you know you think it was whether the right reasons but the way he comes across doesn’t help. He is going through a crazy period in his life his wife has been having an affair with his boss, they all work at the same hotel and he actually caught them in the act so they’re going through a divorce at the moment. He’s been ordered to leave her their house which she wants him to continue paying for even though Max their boss is moving in with her. His brother still isn’t really talking to him and two of PJ‘s escorting Friends, Troy and Adam are trying to humiliate him every turn. West has always come across as straight he got his wife pregnant the second time they slept together and was forced to marry sadly that pregnancy ended in a miscarriage and it seemed that they just couldn’t manage to have a baby together. Troy and Adam had basically run away from home age 16 & 17 they both had horrific childhood and decided living on the streets was better than living at Home now years later they both work for Brennan as escorts. They didn’t like the way that West treated their friend PJ so they set upon him and trying to show him that being a submissive wasn’t a hindrance being a submissive held the power.
There’s so much happening in this book. There’s a kidnapping forced drugtaking and a video being made that really opened West’s eyes. These three have this crazy connection is just electric whenever they’re together but you see a totally different side of West when you understand what he’s been through you understand him more. They all have such unique personalities, but when you put them all together, it just works these three have some sizzling passion, a chemistry that just makes them feel alive. This was a brilliant read. And I cannot wait for the next book in the series. And if you get a chance to read the bonus chapter, please do just a brilliant brilliant Read.

Once again Beth didn’t disappoint with this series! Wes, Adam and Troy brought the heat, the romance and the protectiveness.
After being in a loveless marriage for years and giving it his all to make his wife happy, Wes is finally done. He’s no longer wants to be his wife’s doormat in order to make up for his guilt.
Adam and Troy weren’t exactly what Wes had in mind when he decided to live his life on his terms. Especially given they were escorts and the very same type of men he berated his brother for being with.
Adam and Troy didn’t take Wes’s comments and behavior lightly and made it their mission to taunt him. They made sure to make Wes as uncomfortable as possible by invading his personal space and touching him.
But it backfired. What began as a taunt, quickly became something more primal. They both wanted Wes to be theirs and complete the part they were missing.
Adam and Troy had been through so much since they were young. They were each other’s lifeline at a time when they had no one else to care for them. Loving each other was as natural as breathing but it wasn’t until Wes that that love really began to grow.
It took a dangerous situation for Wes to realize that he was in fact attracted to both of them. He wanted what they both offered him and even though he tried to fight it, he loved being dominated. Relinquishing his control set him free in ways he never expected.
Falling in love with two men wasn’t something he saw himself doing. Yet he couldn’t imagine his life without these two men who gave him his life back.

Dubious!?! Maybe for others, but for me there is absolutely no doubt that's my favorite of all the books in the series so far.
Dark romance can have different nuances and flavors and the author has proven that excellently with all the stories connected in a perfect line. Dubious adds a shiny new star in my collection of favorite reads.
As I like to say small indie authors hide the biggest surprises. I really love interconnected books where the characters from the previous books don't fade away or make only brief cameos. Here we have a found family that leaves a palpable imprint on page and adds a layer of familiarity that makes the story even livelier, closer, more impactful.
Troy and Adam are characters I noticed in the previous books. I was impatiently waiting to see them shine brightly in their own story. Wes felt as natural as breathing in their complex dynamic. And do you know what what Lick it, then it's mine means? Troy and Adam definitely did a perfect example of it. These two mischievous, cheeky, resourceful male escorts made the reading experience exquisite.
My favorite part was how the triad was formed. It wasn't instant and easy. There were up and downs, hurt, comfort, doubts, self growth and a lot of adjusting but Troy, Adam and Wes went all in and it paid off at the end.
While the story is considered dark because of some serious sensitive topics and there is dub con generously sprinkled throughout, the banter, the humour and the writing made them a lot lighter and easier to deal with.
Thank you for this amazing book, Beth Christopher!

I don’t know what I was expecting but I certainly was not expecting how amazing this book was. Like I knew it was going to be a dark romance because let’s face it, Beth knows what she’s doing, but oh my, I wasn’t expecting all of that.
Also, even though this was a dark romance, I laughed so much in this book and I was here for every moment. From PJ and Fallon making me love the found family of Wes fitting his way into this group.
What I really loved was how Troy and Adam were just trying to g to get under Wes’s skin but man, when these three come together, it’s so freaking special.
All I’m going to say is Wes is a bada** because when you read a certain chapter, this is when you know this man will be as unhinged as his guys. As touch starved as Wes is, that one moment is when we all know he would do anything to protect his men.
Definitely read your trigger warnings because this does hit hard. I do love when a certain scene happens this is when these guys bond over what happens.
I also am a fan when it’s not just one character but multiple characters that have hit life hard. Also, I love how they named him Kitten and by the end of the book he gets a mama cat and her kittens. That was simply perfect in every single way.
I cannot wait for the next book. The teaser at the end was utterly incredible because it makes you want the book right away.
I received a copy of this book and this is my honest review.

Dark Action, A Bit of Suspense Mixed with a Bit of Debauchery
Even though Dubious: A Dark MMM Bi Awakening Romance is book four in the series, it works surprisingly well as a standalone. Beth Christopher wastes no time; within a few pages, I was already thrown into a tense, violent moment that hooked me immediately. She’s great at slipping in backstory right when it’s needed, without bogging things down.
Some of that background might feel repetitive if you’ve read the earlier books, but it’s brief enough not to be annoying—and probably essential for anyone jumping in here.
If you’re unsure how you’ll handle the darker elements—violence, murder, consensual non‑con—this book isn’t overly graphic. The scenes are clear, but they don’t linger. Honestly, your imagination could take it further if you let it.
My only real critique is the pacing at the end. Like many action‑heavy stories, it rushes a bit to wrap everything up. Still, that doesn’t change my overall rating or enjoyment.

A divorcé and two male escorts walk into a luxury hotel ….
Couldn’t put this one down!!
I was in a series I wanted to finish before starting this and I wish I would have just paused the series and got into this sooner! Full transparency, MMM hasn’t been a thing for me before. I read one and didn’t love it. I LOVEDDD THIS. The main characters are just so easy to love and root for.
Sweet, spicy, possession and a little mystery. 5/5 read for me for sure!
Can be read as a standalone and I haven’t read the previous books but I will be going back and reading any priors and anything after!
Tropes:
Trauma bonding, queer awakening, throuple, age gap, enemies to lovers, dude in distress, forced proximity, power dynamics, repressed desires, strategic seduction, unhinged hero vs “innocent” hero, kink awakening, troubled pasts, found family, consensual non-monogamy

The anger, the lust and the understanding in this book is phenomenal. This is more than a dark romance it’s twin souls finding each other - or in this case triplet souls.
It can be read as a standalone but for the full experience i would advise going to book one and starting there!
Wes is a judgemental, sad and lonely person or at least that’s how he comes across. In stead he is just the person with the weight of the world on his shoulders. When Troy and Adam find him they think they’re getting payback for their friend but what happens is stead is that the6 find their missing piece.
There are lots of possessiveness and jealous,y in this book so please read the trigger warnings and protect your mental health at all times.

May 5, 2026Dubious is the 4th book in the Belle Argo Escorts series.
Every book just gets better and better
I loved Wes, Adam and Troy.
The chemistry between them all is brilliant even if it takes Wes some time to realise.
That was one hell of a prologue phew I was immediately obsessed with the book.
Wes is going through a lot in his life and what Adam and Troy had been through was really hard on them. Their backstory’s are so tough and as much as I loved Wes Adam and Troy are really something special!
Brilliant story if you’re into trauma bonding, kink awakening, queer awakening and a throuple this is very much for you. I also encourage you to read the books in order cos it makes them all make sense with the other characters from previous books
I’m not normally all that keen on MMM and it’s not something I normally read but this has changed my mind 100%
I can’t wait for Dean and Michael’s story this series is so good!!

This is my favorite of The B.A.E. Series so far!! I feel like Beth is the inner monologue queen! I just love every characters inner monologues in all her books! If you hated Wes previously (rightfully so) you HAVE to read this one!! He will forever hold a place in my heart and the three of them as a whole will always have a spot as one of my favorite book relationships! This had me feeling so sad for the characters but also so so happy for all of them. I loved the spice, the relationships, the action. Definitely recommend reading this if you love banter, spice, tragic back stories, love, action and some suspense!

I had the pleasure of getting an advance copy of this book by the Author.
Dubious is such a great read. When you start the book you are hooked. Wes is going through a divorce and a mid life crisis. He does something he would never.. well that’s until he meets Adam and Troy male escorts. But wait there’s more…
Adam and Troy are escorts but also have other professions. I enjoyed the banter between all of them the relationship. Who would have thought 3 mail in Scott’s with serious side jobs would be as emotional as Wes.
This book was great. You want a plot, spice some secrets and a bit of drama I would totally recommend this book

Review of advance copy
The romance was sweet and supportive in its dark way. I liked all the characters and rooted for them. The MMM aspect was well balanced and interesting.
This book was dark; there was SA, trafficking and murder. But it all felt absurd so it didn’t upset me.
In the beginning, Wes took so much degradation from his ex that it was painful to watch. But the journey of an uptight sad man’s slow transformation into a sassy sub was quite fun. I wanted a more dramatic smackdown of his ex but it showed nuance that she didn’t stay a 2-D villain.
Michael and Dean’s book is next. I’m looking forward to Brennan’s book, he is a great character.
I received a copy of this book from Gay Romance Reviews, and this is my honest review.

I think I'd like to say it was at least 3 🌶🌶🌶 🙃 I totally didn't see i put the wrong chilli rating.
Dubious is the 4th book in the series featuring a different couple but an overachieving plot. I would say it can be read as stand alone but enjoyed better if you read the others. It took me on a journey I wasn't expecting and kept me at the edge of my seat I kept saying one more chapter at 1 am in the morning.

I would say run 🏃♀️🏃♂️ and read it !

Well, that happened! Wes's meeting Adam and Troy was not under any type of normal circumstance. From the start this relationship was at odds. I found that made it all the more powerful. So many issues and needs to be addressed here and I love the evolution of the romance and how it was executed. These guys, especially Wes had emotions to overcome, and I was fascinated with how they all meshed together.
