The Three Graces #2

Something Different

Rate this book
Singer/songwriter Anna James is getting desperate. Even with a day job, money’s tight, and she’s wound tighter yet, having sworn off sex to reconcile with her mother who’s in chemo and her father who disowned her for her wild, wicked ways. No sooner than her psychic best friend predicts an end to Anna’s self-imposed drought, rock stars Jackson and Jacob Thomason come to town, with the dream of an indie album co-written with local American Indian flutist Nico White and his songwriting partner AJ McPherson.

Jackson and Jacob are attracted to Anna, who gives as good as she gets. Learning that Anna’s alter ego AJ puts the “twist” in Nico’s “tribal” music only makes them want her more. The part-Comanche Thomason twins need an album’s worth of songs. That means spending night after night, working closely, getting to know each other, learning how to co-create.

Anna’s never written music with anyone but Nico. They’re comfortable with each other. The Thomason twins, who perform as No Mercy, make her anything but. What’s a fangirl to do, when submitting to her rock star idols means exploring the darker side of passion?

CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE. SECOND EDITION WILL BE RELEASED JULY 2018.

4.5 Star review of Something Different (The Three Graces Book 2) by Nia Farrell

This is the second book in The Three Graces series and I was really looking forward to reading it. I loved the first book in the series Something Else and couldn’t wait to see how Singer/songwriter Anna James story would go down.

Anna is living a lie, due to family obligations she has closed herself off and has abstained from sex of any kind. She was the black sheep of the family and is now trying to fit in and not cause waves. Her only outlet is the music that flows through and from her that she writes and plays with Nico.

Her best friend, Grace, has always known that Anna would have two men who want to share Anna, what Anna didn’t know was that they would be rock stars and twin brothers Jackson and Jacob Thomason.
Jackson and Jacob come to town to work with Nico and his writing partner, not knowing that AJ is in fact Anna James. What starts off as a musical collaboration soon morphs into something so much more.

I really enjoyed this story. Nia Farrell did not disappoint. Although Something Different is a heavier BDSM read, than its predecessor, it was well written and flowed well. I cannot wait for more in this series.

Again my only complaint, and it really isn’t a complaint, is that just when it got really interesting, the book finished. These books could well have been full length novels. They are that good.

Musical menage...

The second of the three Graces.... and in many ways this was a much more enjoyable read for me than the first in the series...first and foremost this instalment met my expectation regarding interactions between the three Graces , well at least two of them, as Grace and Anna kick off the story ....Next the story is better developed I loved that she was an unknown, talented musician and that her problems are answered by a double act who have everything she needs and so much more..

This is a short novella and naturally there is an instalust vibe... but this book also delves into the world of eroticism and bdsm .... the guys like to play and nothing seems to be off their table as they embark on a journey of exploration with Anna, which at times strays away from safe ... the writing is clear and the voice of Anna provides a useful perspective as the story progresses... I know nothing about the world of music making, but it would appear that the author has done her research in relation to the industry, however, at times the story was heavy on detail and there was a tendency toward information overload.

Although there were elements that detracted from the storytelling, overall I enjoyed this book and whilst I still feel there could be more development in regards to the characters and the friendship between the three ‘Graces’, I found myself caught up in the evolving relationship between Anna and the twins both romantically and professionally, and I am still eager to read the third Grace’s story..... Summer’s Eve Reads received and advanced copy of this novella from the author.

I was super excited to read book two! And it did not let me down.. Anna James Who is struggling music artist who I fell in love right away with the mouth on her confidence sassy are all my favorite traits!!
And then we have the brothers Jacob and Jackson. Sigh those two are addicting you just can't get enough of them.. So hot, so alpha ...
So when Anna decides to challenge them during the music recording things just take off.. The sparks the lust the passion the heat all combined is just so explosive.
I'm not going to give away any of the story because this is a short read I don't want to get super excited and give away anything but I definitely give this a five star and I highly recommend read!!

Well, well, well - the author hinted that she planned on "ramping up" the hot, sizzling, mother-of-all-hotness sex scenes in this book and she did NOT fib to me!! Dearest Anna, my friends, will do it ALL and she has found two super hotties to do it with. I'm not usually into really alpha guys, but Jacob and Jackson could definitely convince me to swing in that particular direction. I loved (all hot and bothered) their piercings and tattoos & their man-jewelry was pretty awesome too!

Can't wait to hear Rae's story!! I'm going to grab my copy of Book 3 right now!

Keep up the awesome work, Nia!!

I couldn't wait for book 2 of this series and I wasn't disappointed. If you are looking for fun and hot book to read, with a female character that is strong and positive. you cant do better than Something Different. This ménage a trios, featuring two sexy rock star brothers and a talented musician will leave you breathless and wanting for more. Luckily, there will be a book 3. Until then, I will pretend I am Anna, sandwiched between Jacob and Jackson.

Anna "is a starving artist who lives for her music". When Anna's friend Grace let's her know that "they're here", Anna is surprised that they are the musical duo who make up No Mercy. The Thompson brothers are in town to work on some music with Nico and they are pleasantly surprised to find that Anna is the person who co writes with Nico. The Thompson brothers take matters into their own hands to get Anna away from her job to be with them for nine days and 24 hours to write music and form a BDSM relationship. How can the three continue their relationship when No Mercy needs to go back on tour? This is book two of three of "The Three Graces".

This is Anna's story of how she finally meets the indie artists of her dreams, twin brothers, Jackson and Jacob Thomason. Both with tattoos and piercing who are into edge play as much as their music, and the twenty-two-year-old songwriter explores the darker side of passion in a rock star MFM ménage BDSM romance.
Blessed with parents who have turned her out and cut her loose because she's the black sheep of the family has been Anna's life. What Nia Farrell does with that, is positively uplifting. The passion and BDSM scenes are hot and consensual, the self discovery is setup in a positive manner. Truly a joy to read and looking forward to the next book in the series.

This is Anna's story, sitting with Grace in the diner Grace has one of her visions & says they're here. Anna is determined not to look, but when convinced by Grace she does. What a pair she sees, meet twins Jackson & Jacob they perform as No Mercy. They are going to be working with Nico in some new music & Anna just so happens to be attending the standing music night at Nick's. Anna doesn't want to leave the twins but alas she has work to attend.
However the twins sort things out, this is one steamy read ho two hot alpha rock gods highly enjoyable.

We all want to be Anna. Strong, independent, beautiful, but still weak with want. She knows what she wants, what she loves. And she pours it into her music.
When the music come to her in the form of twins, her whole world will be rocked. Literally.
Grace shows them how to expand their horizons, as far as new music goes. And they expand hers, into a world of never ending.
Always chase your dreams. You never know what may come from them.

I am rating this as solid erotica.

Great erotica. Unlike book 1, this does not have a past-lives plot overlay. Anna meets the extremely hot and quite dominant twin musicians Jackson and Jacob and they make music together. Wonderful sex scenes. Fun plot but, honestly, not too much of it.

This book intertwines with the lives of Grace and her men from book 1 and the overall arc continues. I will definitely be continuing the story.

Anna is good friends with Grace, Nico and J. T. Nico sometimes works with Anna making music so when Nico wants Anna to help work with the famous rock God twins Jacob and Jackson she jumps at the chance and then jumps right to bed with them! rocking her whole world and a whole new life for her. this one is bound to get you all hot and bothered.

Igual de flojo que el primero, corto y flojito, pero peor todavía porque la interacion entre ellos es nula, por lo que la conexión también falla., Una chica y dos hermanos que prácticamente ni se hablan en todo el libro y la protagonista insiste en hacernos creer que se aman..... no me fastidies!!!
Vamos, ni siquiera voy a por el siguiente

It was an intense story told very fast. I had to hold my breath sometimes.
Anna’s story is this... and Jacob and Jackson. Need to know more about them. Hopefully there will be more in another book in this serie.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Whew! Intensely hot, full of lust, love and smoking hot sex scenes. Anna, Jackson and Jacob are on fire. I loved how open and honest Anna was able to be with the guys about her sexual history as well as the issues with her parents. The story line and writing pulled me in from the first page and I fell in love with these characters. Another fantastic story form Nia Farrell!

I received a complimentary copy of Something Different in exchange for an honest review.

HOLY HOTNESS BATMAN!! “ My panties would be on fire if they weren’t so wet” – you can say that again, Anna!

This is book two in the Three Grace Series – and WOW what a series it is! Smoking. Hot! Let’s start off with Anna – she is a songwriter – strong personality – knows what she wants and pretty much HOW she wants it. Do Jackson and Jacob still manage to surprise her? OH YES THEY DO! Jackson and Jacob are Rock Stars – total hotties – tats and piercings, oh did I mention they are TWINS? Phew – bring on those men! They come to town to write an indie album and meet songwriter Anna through a mutual friend. The relationships blossoms and catches on fire rather quickly. This is a MUST read!


4.5 stars –only because of the length of the book I WANT MORE, I NEED MORE Nia, please!!! :)

Wow Twin Rock Gods! Who wouldn’t want that?

Something Different is heavily laced with BDSM & menage (MFM) 2 Brothers (Jackson & Jacob) & one Girl (Anna) elements. And, if you enjoy this type of book then this is the story that you need to read.

I loved the story and the characters. My only wish was that these stories were longer. Amazon says this book is only 54 pages. Something Different is another great SHORT sweet & HOT story by Nia Farrell. And, this is only her 2nd book/short story. I am looking forward to reading Something More which will be published 10/25/15.

This was not an ARC. I purchased this book. I give Something Different 4.5 stars

didnt think it was possible but i liked this story more than grace's story in book 1 , anna is black sheep of the family but has been really trying hard to please her family after her mum gets cancer .after giving up sex for 6 months all she has is her music which til now shes only wrote with nico , one of her friend grace's men but when the thomason twins come into her life they make music in & out the bedroom , who wouldnt want 2 alpha males like jackson & jacob bringing you every pleasure & still get to write great music with them as well .
nia farrell definitely upped the sexiness in this book & if the 3rd one is as hot id better have the fire brigade on standby

Something different is not so different as much as it is a bit more raw. Anna is a sexy musician that walks to her own beat plus he's sexy and talented. What can be better? Until two hunky, music genius brothers come a long. These three are fit for each other but they do say everyone has soul mates. Their story is so hot and lubed for your satisfaction, so sit back grab a toy and enjoy ;)

Jackson, Anna & Jacob's story is another quick read and just as steamy as book 1. I really like the musical aspect of this one and the mystery of what is going on with Rae.
