Boys of Fall #6
Going Deep
Two is hot…three is explosive.
The last wedding former high school linebacker Colt Bennett attended was his own—to the woman his brother is now marrying. But tequila, romance and regrets make a bad combination, and the next thing he knows, he’s half passed out in his ex’s best friend’s truck.
That Paige Wilcox hates the sight of him is incidental, right?
At least until Colt calls his best friend and business partner, Drake, to give him a ride home, and somehow the three of them end up in Paige's bedroom. There’s absolutely no reason why he should consider having a threesome…
Other than he’s been denying wanting both of them for months.
With Coach Carr on the mend and the rest of his high school football team back home, Colt’s starting to find his true place in his hometown. Except now he’s got even bigger problems than recriminations about the ex he’s long over. He’s falling for her best friend, and maybe even for his own…
Boys—and a girl—touch in this book. A lot.

Dear Cari Quinn,
You have some splaning to do, lady! You've been seriously holding out on me. All this delicious MF romance of yours had me falling for every MMA fighter and Rockstar you wrote. But all this time you could have been giving me boy touching and you only did it now? Don't think I'm not upset with you. I demand you write me more boy touching. Do you hear me? I need more boy touching! And if there's a vagina thrown in there for variety sake, then I will accept this as well. Because your MMF?
Me likey.
Clearly I'm a big fan of this author. I've read practically her entire backlist. And while I enjoy the hell out of her gritty MMA series, On The Ropes, and I've loved her rockstar series with fellow author Taryn Elliot, Boys of Fall is quite a step away from those. It's still just as good but a whole lot more smutty. Ever since I met Colt Bennett in Going Long, I knew I had to have his book. The backstory is enough to rival any soap opera. Older brother marries younger brother's high school sweetheart, doesn't see she's still in love with younger brother, gets divorced and now his ex wife marries his younger brother. Bam! Say that three times fast. But there's no hard feelings between them and no crazy drama either, so don't be concerned. Just one devilishly sexy cowboy, his best friend that's been in love with him for years, and the sassy redhead that's been giving him hell for months. Add in some alcohol on his younger brother's wedding day to his ex wife, and you gots yourself a recipe for some sexy times!
For those of you that still are not clear; what we have is a GFY AND a sizzling hot MMF menage. You with me now? Mkay then.
Going Deep is another smutty winner from the author and a book I devoured in pervy glee in one sitting. True story. Cari Quinn certainly knows how to write some delicious boy touching books. It's not mindless smut either. It has a fantastic story that the romance wraps around all while delivering a hell of a sexy punch with those sex scenes.
Fair warning: Book may cause a serious case of carpal tunnel syndrome
Just saying...

He couldn't see, couldn't think. There wasn't any wrong or right. There was just this, and doing what came naturally.

I'd say Going Deep is ‘panties optional’, but let's be honest here… It's more like ‘no panties necessary’. Because, holy freakin’ moly, this book is hot, sexy, dirty, kinky, and yeah, HOT. But it's also something more—it's sweet and fun, it has a few feels going on, and it was simply unputdownable.
A few drinks into his brother’s wedding—to his own ex-wife, no less—and Colton Bennett finds himself ready to leave. And then, somehow, sprawled out in the bed of his ex-wife’s best friend’s truck…
Paige has never been Colt’s biggest fan, but when he makes a call to Drake, his best friend and business partner, to ensure both he and Paige get home safely, something changes. The three of them end up in bed…all together.
Years after his high school glory days ended—and his marriage collapsed—and Colt’s not too sure of his place in the world. Or what he's feeling for both Paige and Drake. But one thing is for sure—something is changing between the three of them, and they're going to have to look deep to figure out what it is.
Whoa. Wow. Oh my god. Gasp. And so on… This one may be hottest book in this super-hot, super fun, super awesome series. I've loved each of the books I've read, for different reasons (and sometimes, the same ones—like Coach Carr, and the overlapping scenes/timelines), and this one was no different. I was mesmerized by it. Didn't want to stop reading, put it down or have it end. But alas, it did…
IN THE BEST WAY. Dear book gods, thank you for ménage, Cari Quinn, Colt and Drake, and the rest of the Boys of Fall. These two men were…divine. Alpha, dominant, kinky and oh, so loving and tender. Their sweet, uplifting words made me swoon and want (desperately, I might add) to be Paige Wilcox. To have the attentions of two smokin’, naked cowboys focused on me, and only me. Can you imagine? Read this book, and you'll be able to. Because Ms. Quinn gives the BEST visuals. Her writing transports you into the moment—and geez, those moments… *fans self*
But it's not just the (scorching hot) sex. It's also the emotion that courses through this book, as Paige tries to reconcile herself with the fact she's with not one, but two men—including her best friend’s ex—and Colt tries to accept that he's different now than he was before, and that includes what he's feeling for Drake, a man he doesn't necessarily want to want, but can't help himself. It was hard, at times, to read through everyone’s reactions, but in the best way. Because I needed this threesome to work out. Just like I'm going to need more of this series. Please?! ~ Beth, 5 stars

Oh hell. Just when I thought the Boys of Fall series couldn’t get any better here come Colt, Drake and Paige. Swoon.
Colt just doesn’t know what to do with himself. His ex-wife is just married to his brother—she’s now his sister-in-law. To get through the wedding, Colt gets completely loaded and passes out in his ex’s best friend, Paige’s truck. And Paige’s truck is trapped by other wedding guest’s vehicles. So what to do? Call Drake, Colt’s business partner, to drive their asses’ home. Problem solved, right?
Not so fast. There’s a little problem—Paige can’t stand Colt. Well, at least that’s what she tells herself. But in reality, Paige has the hots for Colt AND Drake. And, Colt has been wanting Paige and Drake just as much. And Drake’s fully on board too… It’s not the first time Colt and Drake have shared a woman, but now they may just find themselves wanting just a little bit more than sharing Paige…
Sweet lord. My kindle is still smoking from the hotness that is this book. There may be some lingering drool marks too. I loved Colt, Paige and Drake together. Colt and Paige get some hard reality lessons too. And Drake’s just along for the ride. One hot, dirty, sexy ride. Sigh. WHEN will the next three books be out? Not soon enough. Don’t make me sell my house and move to Quinn, Texas! ~ Missy, 5 stars

This sexy menage story takes place in a small Texan town, the kind where everyone knows everyone else's business, and the home town football team is the Friday night attraction. Several of the team's older players have returned to honor their Coach, a man who recently had a heart attack, scaring many of his beloved players. Colt is one of those, but he's got other things in town that hold his interest, namely his ex-wife's best friend Paige. When his ex remarries ( yep, she marries his brother, it's a long story - but you can catch up by reading Going Long), he is truly happy for them as his own marriage to her was a mistake, though it doesn't stop him from over-imbibing the night of the wedding with all the sympathetic looks coming his way. Ending up in the back of Paige's truck, a call to his best friend Drake has the three of them staying over at Paige's place, and surprisingly, in a hot and sexy 3-way one night stand. Only, after the first night, Drake and Colt and Paige aren't so eager to put things in the past and a secret relationship ensues, one where sex rules, but feelings are there just under the surface. While Drake is content with his bisexuality and happy to have the chance to be with Colt even if it's only going to be with Paige in the middle, Colt finds that his attraction to his best friend is a problem, one he never expected. It's a conundrum to be sure, but one that will either result in a happy future for the three of them or three broken hearts.
There were lots of emotions tied up in this story and each of the three main characters involved had their own reasons for wanting to be part of this unique relationship. For Paige, it's an eye-opening experience - to be worshiped by two men, men whom she's joked around with, flirted with, but never really saw that they held a deep attraction for her until they took things over the line. They are not shy to tell her what they think of her, and she basks in their adulation, something that she's never had before. It would be hard to turn that down, and even though she has some guilt over being involved with her best friend's ex-husband, she's right to remember (and be reminded by other friends) that that ship has sailed, her friend is happily remarried and shouldn't begrudge her this chance at her own happiness. Of course this doesn't mean there isn't any conflict with her friend, but it doesn't take over the story.
For Drake, who is the more level headed, even tempered of the bunch, it's a chance to show his best friend Colt that the feelings he has for him are more than friendly. They've shared women in the past and on one particular occasion, things between the two men got a little more handsy than Colt expected - something that caused Colt to back off and keep his distance. And Drake let him, not wanting to ruin their friendship. Only now with Paige, the three of them are forming something that can't be easily explained away and Drake has a second chance to show Colt that his feelings for him are open to becoming more than just friends. I really liked Drake's character, his understanding and patience with Colt and his sweetness with Paige.
And so it is Colt that is the most conflicted on two main fronts. Firstly, he's attracted to Paige but being his ex-wife's best friend means she should be off limits. Right? Well, so he tries to convince himself, and has succeeded until now. Yet he knows that his ex chose his brother, and is happy with him, which means she should keep her nose out of his love life. Secondly of course, and more interestingly in the context of the threesome is his long denied attraction to his friend Drake. He knows Drake is bisexual, he's known it all along and it's never bothered him. Yet now, he can see that Drake wants more from him than he's willing to give. Or maybe not. He's quite the confused individual as he comes to terms with aspects of his own sexuality that he never considered before. Guilt is the strong one here, and it's going to take the love of Paige and Drake to help him overcome it and not ruin the best thing that's happened to him in a long time.
Of course we can't have a menage story without some hot sex, and it's present here in spades. Both Drake and Colt can be rather demanding in the bedroom (much to Paige's delight) yet it's never demeaning and they take care with her. They treat her as the beautiful, loving woman that she is, and the sex scenes are steamy yet tender too. When Drake and Colt begin to play with their own attraction, it turns Paige on as much as having their attention on her.
There are lots of secondary characters, as this story is part of a series that will feature several different relationships in the town of Quinn, Texas., some of which have already been released and some which are yet to come. Each story in the series is written as a standalone and can easily be read independent of the others, but it's quite fun to revisit characters from the other stories if you've read them already. This one is a fun and sexy read with the underlying conflicts giving the story some emotional twists and turns. 4 stars.

A small town in Texas where there are no secrets and a hot sexy menage between Paige(the bride's[Charli] best friend, Colt(the bride's ex-husband and brother[Wade]to the groom)and Drake(Colt's best friend)and wow what a journey.Paige and Colt verbally spared all the time, hiding their true feelings for each other, and making it look like they weren't friends or lovers. Drake shared his feelings for Colt to Colt, which made their friendship strained(Colt unsure of his feelings toward Drake.Then there's Charli and Wade's wedding, Colt drinks too much loses his keys, Paige's car is blocked in, Drake to the rescue.....Read for the very juicy details in Paige's bedroom!!!HOTTER than Cari's other books!!The story is great and its' well written and fast paced.Hard to put down once I started! Love the MMA Fighter series and the Rocker series but hot alpha cowboys,More Please!!One is good but two is better!!Rec'd ARC for honest review. Cari said it best in her description of the book-
"Two is hot...three is explosive"!
Warning:
"Boys and a girl touch in this book"!

This was pretty good. I liked that Colt and Paige has some underlying tension before there were any fireworks. Once you throw Drake into the mix, it just gets all kinds of hot and steamy. This has a bit of angst as the characters come to terms with their new dynamic, but it is quickly resolved.

Holy hotness!! The chemistry these 3 had was smokin! I really enjoyed Colt, Paige and Drake. Their story was one of the hottest ones I've read in a while. I am definitely going to check out the rest of the series.

It wasn't as hot as I expected it to be, but the epilogue definitely secured the 3 stars.

This was amazing! Hot damn! I truly love this series and so far this book was my favorite.

Get ready to visit the steamier side of Quinn, Texas with Cari Quinn's Going Deep, part of the Boys of Fall series created with Mari Carr and Erin Nicholas.
Colt Bennett has been divorced and enjoying the swinging singles scene for years now. On the night his ex remarries his brother, perhaps he could be forgiven for overindulging. Somehow he ends up in the company of said ex's best friend, Paige Wilcox, and his best friend and business partner, Drake Mondell. Their time together quickly turns heated, and the physical connection the three of them share stuns them, but they also realize it was way too good to keep it to that one night.
Of course, the path to true love is littered with pressure to conform to others' expectations, the desire to please one's friends and relatives, the uncertainty of what one is feeling to begin with, and the fear of disappointing others and being disappointed oneself...
Car Quinn writes an engaging, HOT story in Going Deep. Enjoy the sexy times and the angsting, not always in that order.
Can't wait to head back to Quinn, for more of the Boys of Fall!

4.5 stars
The blurb does a good job of explaining the story. Paige has a threesome with Colt and Drake. They go into it thinking it will be one time but it becomes more. Paige struggles with being with two men and Colt struggles with his growing feelings for both Paige and Drake. He's straight, right? Lots of love and heat with MFM and MM. My one issue is Colt's ex-wife. Why does he get all the blame for that mistake? Charli could have said at any time that she loved Colt's brother and her reactions to Paige's relationship with Colt and Drake are unkind at best and cruel at worst. Luckily, she's mostly a side note in their relationship and the steam makes up for it.

Going Deep by Cari Quinn was a short story, set in very small town where everyone knows everything about whomever! And it was a very good story of love & relationships that surprise & thrive not only in spite of the close scrutiny, but because of it! I enjoyed every situation the three MC found themselves facing & often creating.
At first glance this series might seem to be trite, but dig a little deeper & you'll find a good read.

Nice writing, somewhat lenghty and laughable without intention in some parts of this book. Threesome a little bit centered around Paige, I think. Unfortunately, the ending was lame, especially the last sex scene.

Hot, hot and hot
Beautiful men and an awesome woman.
Decisions, decisions. Could not put the book down!
If you are offended by sizzling hot romance and love scenes, better take a pass on this one!

Better than expected
I wasn't sure about the risky basis of the plot but the author handled it well. Paige and Drake are great characters. Colt can be a little harder to like, but he's working on it.

I liked the story overall but it was all pretty surface level plot wise. No real conflict and easy resolutions. A sweet story though.

This was good in some spots. Colt, Drake, and Paige were all interesting, well-rounded characters with their own fears and insecurities. But strangely, besides the sex, there was little interaction or dialogue between them; they only discussed their relationship with other people, never each other, and that left me a bit cold. I did finish this one though, which is a lot more than I can say about a lot of other books out there.

Colt Bennett is tired. Tired of being seen as just a player, of keeping up the front of the happy-go-lucky guy, of the pitying looks from folks because his ex-wife just married his brother. But what's a guy to do? Enter Paige Wilcox, best friend of Colt's ex-wife. When circumstances bring Paige, Colt, and Drake Mondell, Colt's best friend and business partner, together, things get very interesting very quickly. Sometimes being in the wrong place at the right time brings the greatest, if unexpected, rewards.
Five-Alarm Hotness Alert! Oh, my goodness, folks. Having long been a fan of Cari Quinn, I was fully expecting to have my socks knocked off by GOING DEEP, her latest installment in the Boys of Fall series. And, oh, my word, she most certainly does NOT disappoint. This book starts off hot and reaches scorching in no time flat.
There is no shortage of 'fan yourself' moments in GOING DEEP. These three jump right into one of the hottest hook-ups that I've read, and it does not stop. All the sizzle aside, though, these are three people that have been looking for the one, or ones, that will help them be free to be themselves, and they've finally found it in each other. What starts as a purely physical journey into forbidden territory quickly becomes much more.
I really love that, while Cari has written her signature sassy and independent woman in Paige, we get to see that there is something deeper, a side of her that has just been waiting to emerge, and it takes both Colt and Drake to make that happen. And she's the spark that the two men need to finally come into their own in every sense.
This is not your typical love story, but I could not have enjoyed it more. GOING DEEP is absolutely 5+-panty-melting, heart-melting, feel good stars for me, and needs to be on your TBR stat.

Sweet Mother of all that's Holy!
The last line of GOING DEEP’s synopsis, mentioned almost like an afterthought, reads: Oh, and boys—and a girl—touch in this book. A lot. Have mercy! Do they ever! And every second is absolutely, positively mind-blowing. It has to be the author's hottest book evah. Since all Cari Quinn books pack hella heat, that's saying a lot.
I love this book hard. Seriously, what woman hasn't dreamt of being worshipped by two incredibly sexy men who love her and whose sole focus is to give her the ultimate sexual experience? Repeatedly. Sign. Me. Up. Now.
The sex is explosive and frequent without seeming gratuitous, and the story is perfectly written. It’s one of finding the loves of your life, internal conflict about recognizing who you are, going after what you want even if it's not what you expected for yourself, and creating a life that isn’t the “norm”. The three main characters are relatable, instantly likeable, and ones you can imagine as real life friends…or lovers. *le sigh* All of the secondary characters are well-developed in their own right, some having been the main characters in book one, and so it’s fun revisiting with all of them.
The author does a great job of briefly setting up the backstory for anyone new to the series, so Going Deep can definitely be read as a standalone. I do think reading book one first will make for a more enjoyable read. The players in book three are also revealed, and it looks to be another passionate story. I can’t imagine how, but I’m sure the author will best herself. As always.
This is a famazing book. Read it now. Just have something – or someone – on hand to cool you off.

Another great return to Quinn, Texas. Paige Wilcox has enjoyed verbally sparring with Colt Bennett and Drake Mondell for years. Colt is the ex-husband of her best friend Charli so he was always off limits to her. Until the night of Charli and Wade's wedding. Wade also happens to be Colt's brother. Colt gets drunk at the wedding and ends up losing his keys in the field where all of the cars are parked. He climbs into the back of Paige's truck to rest for a bit. Paige goes out in her truck to leave and they both realize they are a little too tipsy to drive. Enter Drake. He drives everyone home to their ranch and they spend the night together. The guys have shared women before, but only for a night. Paige makes them want more than they ever had before. This three some includes a bisexual man and a man who always believed himself to be straight, but the more the three of them are together, the more Colt starts to question his sexuality. This was such a believable story about what happens when a relationship that in considered by many to be taboo turns into a happily ever. It was beautifully written. I love how all three stories in this group show certain events from the point of view of the couples in each book. I also loved the flashes of what's to come from Rafe and Hollie, the next Boys of Fall story by this author. I can't wait!

Going Deep opens with Colt’s ex-wife is marrying his brother with the whole town there to celebrate. Colt spends the night drinking to keep up appearances and show his support for Wade and Charlene. Leaving the reception Colt drops his keys and can’t find them in the dark so he climbs into the bed of Paige’s truck to wait until someone comes along with a flashlight. Paige arrives but her truck is blocked in and Colt calls Drake for a lift.
Drake’s wise remark plants the seed in Paige and Colt’s minds for ménage. Colt and Drake have no problem with ménage, they’ve done it before. Drake has harboured a deep attraction for Colt for years and hopes that Paige can bring them all closer. Paige is surprised that having two lovers is exactly what she needs to fill that empty feeling that chased her from New York.
Colt begins to question his past hit and run style and examine his deeper feelings. The high school glory days are gone and the NFL glory days barely happened; a new reality stands before him. Paige wants both men and doesn’t want to settle for just one. Drake wants both Colt and Paige as lovers, but wonders if he’ll have to settle for just Paige.
Going Deep is an examination of past and future and what one must do to move forward.

Review for GOING DEEP
I received this as a gift for an honest review
It started out as just a wedding…well maybe a little more than that. Cole Bennett’s brother was getting married today to his high school sweetheart…and Cole’s ex wife. Yeah, maybe just a little more. What Cole doesn’t plan on is having too much to drink, losing his keys and ending up in bed with both Paige and his friend Drake. Yeah, not your typical wedding. But what starts as a hot kiss turns into so much more for all three of them. Paige, who is best friends with Cole’s ex, is thinking this is just one night. Can she do this, does she want to ?? Her answer is hell yes. Drake and Cole are best friends and business partners. Drake is also attracted to Cole and has been for a while. The biggest obstacle is Cole himself. He will throw up roadblocks to keep his life compartmentalized even if it goes against everything he wants and needs. Can these three take what they have…which is attraction, understanding and deep emotion…and turn it into something permanent or will Cole once again throw it all away ??

Going Deep by Cari Quinn
Quinn delivers a hot and sexy ménage story with characters that you can't help but root for.
The story opens with Cole freely enjoying the drinks at his brothers wedding to Cole's ex-wife (read all about that in Going Long!) and escalates rather sexily from there.
Cole and Drake are both such great characters. They are the best of friends, and although similar in many ways, they are also quite different. One thing they do have in common is that they enjoy sharing women. While Drake is happily bisexual, Cole is in a little bit of denial. The encounter with Paige was meant to be for one night, but they can't seem to leave it at that.
Paige has some insecurities and while she loves the adoration and affection that the boys shower her with, she seems to be constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Overall, this is a great quick and hot read. If boys touching each other offends you, then skip this one, but it's bloody hot!

Cari Quinn has once again written an absolute scorcher with her latest story in the Boys of Fall series. I freaking loved Going Deep and I devoured this book all in one sitting. Colt, Paige and Drake's relationship was not smooth sailing by any means but man, they really gave us quite a ride. Colt and Paige had to face Charlene and her reaction to them being together, Colt had to come to terms with his sexual feelings towards his best friend and Drake had to deal with being in love with his best friend while Colt is in deniable about his true feelings. This author knows how to write steamy ménage stories that's more than just sex, she incorporates great dialogue and raw emotions. I love this series and the characters so much and I cannot wait for the next book.

Such a yummy hot story!!! What starts out as one night of fun for Paige, Colt and Drake becomes a complicated relationship. The chemistry between the three together, is hot. Paige and Colt seem to start out with a "tolerate/hate" relationship. Drake is a sweetie, with a bit of a hidden dom side to him. Seeing these three come together was great, even as Colt tried to be an @$$ and deny everything between them. Loved catching up with the secondary characters, but there was one previous heroine I seriously wanted to bitch smack. Luckily she somewhat redeemed herself by the end of Going Deep, but she still isn't back on my good side ;). Overall a fantastic read, and one I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a hot m/m/f read :)

Whew! Cari turns the heat up right from the get-go, and is relentless with it -- in a good way. This book is not for the faint of heart, or for those who do not enjoy reading about a steamy threesome partnership.
The book isn't all "just sex". In this reader's opinion, there's a good storyline in there too, exploring Colt's feelings of guilt and denial -- and how he gets over it.
I enjoyed reading Colt's story. It was a fast read (or I couldn't put it down) and had me hooked from the first page.

Holy Smokes! This has to be the hottest menagé story I have read all year!
When we first met Paige & Colt in Going Long, I had a feeling that sparks would fly between them. What I wasn't prepared for was adding Drake to the mix. This book was so steamy that I'm surprised my kindle didn't melt.
Don't get me wrong... it's not all smexy times - there is also a definite storyline & I can guarantee some of it will surprise you. I don't want to say too much for fear of letting something slip, so I will just say READ THIS BOOK!
