Vacation For Three: Colorado

Vacation for Three #1

by Nicole Stewart

Sometimes leaving the country is just what a couple needs...
Meghan Donovan and her boyfriend Bryce are in an incredibly loving relationship, exploring the bounds of physical and emotional bonding that can only come with familiarity and true dedication.

Familiarity can be a double-edged sword, though, and Meghan sees their upcoming ski vacation as the perfect chance to dial their passion way up with some carefully chosen lingerie and a new lust for her man. Bryce is redoubling his attraction to Meghan as well, especially now that he isn't constantly distracted by his work. Sure enough, major sparks start to fly as soon as the happy couple arrive at their gorgeous destination, surrounded by boundless snowy peaks and a warm, cozy cabin.

But when an entirely unexpected and electrically hot dalliance between the two lovers and their mutual male friend takes place shortly after their arrival, neither Meghan nor Bryce are prepared for just how much their relationship is about to change. Now Bryce has more questions than answers about his own preferences, the only constant being his love for Meghan.

Join these two committed lovers on a journey through a beautiful romance, heart-pounding sex and so much more as they add one more to their pairing, making it the perfect Vacation for Three!

Although this is the first book in a series, each book is a standalone MMF Bisexual Romance Novel with an HEA ending and no cliffhangers!

I thoroughly enjoyed this once I got past the "no one is having safe sex in this book" hangup I have.

Book Review By: Kristy Dean
Book Title: Vacation For Three: Colorado
Author: Nicole Stewart
Pages: 200 (Standalone story)
(I received an arch for an HONEST review)

Authors Writing Style: I feel in love with Nicole’s writing style this last year. This is the third story that I have read from her and loved it just as much. They stories area filled with details and emotions and allows you to see beyond the normal relationships and adventure into the threesome lifestyle. The depth of the relationships shows love, heart ache, and growth back to love. I did not want to put down this story and often finding myself dreaming about the scenes and what could happen next. The three stories that I have read from Nicole, I would read again as well as other works by Nicole. I personally contacted this author since I was moved by her work.
Overview: (May have some spoilers). First you are introduced to Meghan and Bryce. They have a great relationship and decide to explore in the bedroom. Both were honest and open to trying new things. Meghan was very surprised that Bryce was attracted to his best friend Jonathan. So when they go on vacation to go skiing, she is shocked when Jonathan showed up with no girlfriend. That they broke up a week ago and decided he needed to come and see his friend and meet the new girlfriend. Getting drunk ended up with them exploring a threesome. One that Meghan and Bryce will never forget. But things were getting confusing in Bryce’s head and he made a bad choice and lost Meghan’s trust. Meghan decided to move on with her life. Her friend Rachel introduced her to a nice guy named Eric. They hit it off and she is in love with him. She travels with him to Costa Rica, where they explore the sailing and surfing lifestyle. They meet some great people along the way and explore the threesome lifestyle. By Meghan knows something is still off from allowing her to give her heart 100% to Eric. Eric and Meghan have a small fight and she is planning leaving and going home when Tristan (a surfing friend) comes and helps her understand what Eric is going through. Eric and Meghan get back together and they decided that their life together is stronger than ever. When the get back to Denver, they decide to move in together. But Meghan’s past, meaning Bryce, comes back into the picture. Meghan breaks down and tells Eric everything. Eric and Meghan decide to meet Bryce and see where the meeting will go. Little did they know that the three of them will be bonding their lives together.

I was intrigued by Becoming Derek, so I gave myself a little time and decided to dive into another book on the same subject matter by the same author. Lesson learned.

So, the book started out with a trip to Colorado with a couple, Bryce and Meghan, told in dual points of view. One-fourth of the book is spent investing time into their relationship, then proof, it's over, Bryce is gone, and she's quickly off falling for Eric.

I will admit the author does a great job showing Meghan's inner conflict and all that she thinks, feels, and struggles to accept about herself and her needs. The problem is all this strife becomes so tedious, I find it hard to like her. I really liked Bryce in the first quarter of the book and found his perspective made me be able to like Meghan and how supportive she was to him.

Then something happened to ruin Meghan for me. She never won me completely back over, and I found her struggles and musings absolutely annoying. I also never warmed to Eric. His overreact-first-try-to-smooth-it-over-later persona turned me off to him from the first meeting.

Then the ending, the one that the author made so obvious that everyone should see it coming, even if it takes forever for the characters to wise up to it, is unfulfilling. Not only is it ridiculously unbelievable, but it is too neat and easy, even if it took the author an inordinately long amount of time to get there. Neither Meghan nor Eric deserve this HEA. Plus, the book ends abruptly, and it is unsatisfactory.

The beginning of this novel had such promise. It was a tad too similar to Derek's story, which I thought was very well written. Right after the incident I hated in this book happened, I hoped for better times ahead. However, that hope was abandoned, and I ended up finishing out of obligation to myself to preserve.

I think the author is hitting her groove, but I'm afraid I've filled my quota of these unconventional arrangements for now.

Nicole Stewart has done it again with this great erotic F/M/M read. I give it a hot and steamy 5 stars. Romance, Two Hot Alpha Males, Menage

“Wouldn’t it be funny if we all ended up having sex tonight?”

This was a HOT erotic read. All I have to say is wow.

Meghan and Bryce are a couple that have an open and honest relationship. Bryce surprises Meghan and shares his fantasy of bringing another man into their bed.
While on a ski trip with Bryce’s friend Jonathan opportunity knocks, and the scene that unfolds is very hot and intense.
As they move forward they decide to explore their options and create a profile on a website.
After Bryce makes a bad choice, it causes Meghan to break up with him and move on with her life.

After the breakup, the story shifts forward to Meghan dating Eric, another handsome man. However she can’t seem to get Bryce out of her mind.
Will Meghan be able to make things work with Eric or will she end up back with Bryce?

I have to say it is amazing what Meghan was able to convince both Bryce and Eric to do. Not sure many men would be so receiving and go for her urges. This is a very erotic read and you definitely want to read this at home. Lots of hot sex.
Again this is a F/M/M read and is suggested for 18+ readers.

“We were just thinking about taking this conversation someplace more private,” he said. “How do you feel about that?”

If you like hot erotic menage reads you will definitely want to 1-click this book. Nicole Stewart really draws you in with her writing. Thank you for the great read!

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I really liked this book. But I have to be honest that through a large portion of it I didn’t think I liked it and I really hated Meghan! I hated how she pushed and prodded Bryce into having sex with his male friend and then couldn’t seem to have any sympathy for how confused and messed up in the head he was afterward, and THEN she did it AGAIN with another guy! I thought she was SO selfish. Then, at some point I realized what Nicole had done!....ALL other MMF books I have read have been instigated by men drawing a woman into the mix and it was so very thought provoking to read this book written the complete opposite way that I was probably 3/4 of the way through before it all clicked and worked in my head. I’m still upset how Meghan treated Bryce and wouldn’t even let him explain himself, but love how it all turned out! Very well written and edited, and just the right amount of hot and steamy.

[Toni Lewis · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was the first I have read of Nicole Stewart but I can assure you I'm a really big fan of her writing . Of course this story might not be for everyone but if you have an open mind and can really feel what your reading I promise you want be disappointed in this book . Especially once you start reading about Meghan and Bryce . A perfect couple in all reality goes on a ski trip with friends but one doesn't show up so it just left the three of them . Jonathan and Bryce had been friends for a very long time and somehow Meghan noticed things between the two that they thought she would never see . After returning from there trip Bryce made a wrong decision and it cost him Meghan . Later Eric and Meghan became a couple and soon Meghan realized she missed what her and Bryce had and decided she wanted to see if she could get Eric to be in the same kind of relationship .. Not happy at first but Eric came to realize he wasn't as against it as he thought .. Loved the ending ... Must read

Adventurous, sexy and unexpected!

Meghan and Bryce is a very sexy couple that is open to communicating what they want in the bedroom for the first time in a relationship. They are experimenting with many things to find what best fits their needs. Until a mistake is made and they are. It able to get past it. Meghan then meets and falls in love with Eric, the question is can she fulfill her desires in this new relationship? Meghan goes on an emotional rollercoaster trying to figure out what she needs to be happy, and what happiness she is willing to sacrifice to be with someone. This is a story about finding passion, and being daring enough to go after what you desire most. It is a great love story, with many passionate scenes that will leave you hot and wet ;)

I love menage romance and this is one of the best I've read. Meghan and Bryce are in love, so in love that they feel safe and comfortable enough to be honest about their fantasies. And as luck would have it, both fantasize about bringing another man into their bedroom. But Bryce becomes confused and ends up breaking Meghan's heart. They go their separate ways with their broken hearts and Meghan moves on. But in the end, her heart leads her back to where she started, just not quite in the way she expects.

I fell in love with all the characters in this book. Meghan because she was strong but vulnerable, Bryce because he's just trying to understand himself, Eric because he's trying to reconcile his wants with his idea of what a man is. I cried, I laughed, I got angry, and in the end, I was happy.

*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review*

What an amazing book! Nicole Stewart outdoes herself with this full length novel. I always preface with saying that bisexual MMF isn't my favorite but this was so well written it took me along from no to yes! Just as Meghan's second boyfriend Eric was doing the same! I loved that we got the inside scoop on basically 3 different loving committed relationships (plus a few quickies!) which made it seem like 3 books worth of fun!!! Truly great MMF bisexual read.

[Jenn Allen · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fantastic read! This is a wonderful journey of finding their true selves and going after what makes the heart happy. Meghan and Bryce start being open with each other and exploring their innermost desires. I love the internal struggles that all of the characters have. It's an ongoing ride as situations change. I was hooked from the beginning, emotionally invested in them and truly enjoyed following along. The story has a lot of heart and amazing HEAT! This is a must read!

3.25 Stars
Suspend disbelief, abandon all safe sex practices, and check condoms and lube at the door to embark on this journey of self-discovery with Meghan, a sexually adventurous (and that's putting it mildly) vixen who finally figures out it takes two guys to itch her scratch, er scratch her itch, in bed. I have to admire a woman who knows what she wants and is able to convince not one, but two "straight" men that a heaping helping of manloving (sans lube, mind you) will rock their world. Kudos, Meghan!

[Jolene · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow just Wow. This book was a mindful of epic proportions. Megan and Bryce had just a wow relationship add in Jonathan or Joel and that was OMG my god. Then there was the hurt followed by more of Megan and her wow. Her new man Eric and then more of a wow relationship. Then more hurt and more holy wellness. Add Tristan and good Lord. Then you have Megan, Eric, and Bryce and get good Lord, what the fuck.

[Terri · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed the growth that the characters experienced in this story. Knowing that you need something different in your relationship and finding the person/persons that you can be honest and free with is a gift that we all hope we hope to experience.
I hope that Jonathan will return in another story.....maybe as a fourth!
I have really enjoyed getting to know this author and her style of writing.

read the synopsis & couldn't wait to read this. this book definitely didn't go where I thought it would. but I stayed with it because I had to find out where this story ended. it's well written but there were several things that irritated me about this book. this adult woman kept calling them boys. they're not. .they're men. & it seemed she was extremely pushy in what she wanted.

[Amy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really liked this book, it was well written and had lots of surprises. Just when I was hopeful that things were going the way I thought they should things would shift. I will look for more books by Nicole Stewart. (though I*'m not too fond of the cover it kind of creeps me out).

I fell in love with the main characters from the beginning, but I was hoping to see more of Jonathan. I am so glad that all three main characters found each other in the end.

JUST LOVED IT.....

[Crystal Garrigus · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great storyline I've never read before.

I really liked the story. And love nicole stewart in general. I felt in parts the story dragged a little but it kept me guessing. It's the first time I read a story that progressed like this but it kept me wanting to read more. I gave it 4 stars because at times I thought the female character was selfish and inconsiderate. But I loved the male leads they were sweet if not a little bit of push overs. This will probably be a read again book in the future.

[Rose Howse · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book, though long, did end up being a good read in the end.
Meghan loves Bryce but pushes him to discover he might be bisexual but Bryce does something that Meghan just can't seem to forgive and live with. Eric and Meghan have a relationship that developes into a love they decide they want to share.
The story does have a HEA that I was happy to finally get to and made all the angst worth it in the end.

[Chavon McAllister · Rating 2 out of 5]

I typically like Nicole Stewart, but this book fell way short.
The story line had great potential, but I could not connect with Meghan and her random, reckless behavior. I find it irresponsible writing to have so much reckless unprotected sex with strangers she met on the internet without any substantive preliminary vetting. Huge turn off for me. Barring that little hitch, Meghan was out of control and unbelievable. At one point she is so loving and supportive of Bryce and yet could drop him so easily and move on to be madly in love with Eric within three to four months and all but twists his arm (including deception, i.e. part of the reason she dropped Bryce) to have a bisexual ménage. Meghan's character evolved into selfish and self-centered and became difficult to like and want the HEA for.

[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

Received ARC copy for honest review.

Was a good book, but Nicole's usually are. This one was a little longer than the others I have read from her. It seemed to go in circles a little, but a good book. Defiantly worth the time. I thought in the middle it would be nice to have it end he way it did. I don't want to give away any spoilers. It was a great main character with Meghan. It's nice to have a women lay everything on the line with her wants sexually. Meghan know what she wanted and voiced it to her boyfriends. I absolutely loved Eric in this book. I want a guy like him. Another good one Nicole!!!!

[Henry Wente · Rating 3 out of 5]

As a story of Meghan's rather surprising and perhaps a little forced journey into a bisexual menage, this worked o.k., and had some interesting and explicit three-way scenes. Overall, the it didn't work well for me, in most part because of the cheating and switch from one man to another. Once Eric entered the picture in a sudden manner, and with edgier, kinkier interests that were not-quite-convincing for me, the story part of it lost its way for me.

2.5 stars rounded to three because there are simply too few MMF relationship stories out there

[Jane Kirima · Rating 1 out of 5]

Just a horrible read with a happy ending

A bad body of the book with a happy ending does not make a good book. Sorry author stick to the characters of the story. The book it's only ninety nine cents so not an expensive buy and thank God it's free in kindle unlimited. Wouldn't advice any one to buy this at all since I only want to buy books I can read again and again and I won't be rereading this one at all. #badbuy!

[Tiffany Diamond]

wow! Spicy and hot! Megan and Bryce have been dating for four months and things are going great. They both have fantasies but neither wants to voice their deepest ones. When a ski trip to Colorado with Bryce's best friend and his girlfriend ends up being just Megan, Bryce and his friend Jonathan. Things heat up and then take unexpected turns. This is definitely a must read!

[Joan Neal · Rating 3 out of 5]

Average

Just average.. It was good, but too much rationalization. I felt like the characters spent too much time explaining what they were feeling and why it was right. And the sex was not as adventurous as it could be. Basically it was the same moves over and over again.

[Naarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was my first Nicole Stewart book and I enjoyed it very much. I actually enjoyed Meghan and Bryce. I get why things happened in order to come full circle but Meghan frustrated me in the process. Even still this was a great read and will not be my last book by Stewart.
