Time to Escape to Sun, Surfing & Steamy Love
Allison is a hard working young professional who has finally reached the end of her rope. Her love life is in shambles, her job is a joke, and the book she's writing in her spare time seems to be going nowhere fast.
When Allison's boss notices that something's off, he all but demands that she take a vacation somewhere far from her home base of Seattle. It's time to get her mind off of things and refocus. Although she's hesitant at first, Allison realizes that a getaway may be just what she needs to reset her heart, forget about the guys who didn't work out, and reignite her creativity all in one go.
However, as soon as she steps off the plane into the Costa Rican heat, things are not as she imagined, and she begins to think that she's just a magnet for tragedy and failure no matter where she runs away to.
And then she meets Tristan. Gorgeous, chiseled, and an amazing surfer to boot, Tristan is the complete opposite of all the men that have let her down in the past. His relaxed attitude and good looks are matched only by his considerable skill in bed, creating a combination of the wildest lovemaking she's ever experienced and some of the most meaningful emotional connections she's ever made with another person.
However, Allison soon discovers that Tristan's sexual proclivities are wider reaching than she expected, and now he wants to add another man into the mix. While she's overwhelmed by the revelation, she also feels a strong pull toward a new adventure full of pleasure and strengthening bonds with her new lover.
Now it's time to sink or swim. Will Allison fall on her face while trying to keep up with the bad boy surfer's insatiable sexual appetites, or will she be opened up to a new world of fulfillment that she could only daydream about back in gloomy Seattle?
Although this book loosely refers to characters from "Vacation for Three: Colorado," this is a standalone MMF Bisexual Romance Novel with an HEA ending and no cliffhangers! You don't need to read any other books to get the most out of this one.

I received this book for an honest review. Allison is an aspiring writer who works for a new start up but doesn't connect with her peers. She books a last minute trip to Costa Rica and meets Meghan. Meghan talks her into going on a day trip with her and some friends. After a day of learning to surf Allison is drawn to Tristan. Tristan introduces Allison to an alternate way of thinking about sex by adding another man. Upon returning to Portland, Allison is not content with her life, after several failed dates and a one night stand with a male couple she realizes that she misses Tristan and Costa Rica. Allison listens to her heart and goes back to Costa Rica for a week, that turns into her deciding to stay with Tristan, until Tristan gets a job offer in Panama. What will she do, follow Tristan, stay in Costa Rica or go back to Portland? I loved this story. Nicole Stewart's write wonderful MMF stories that make you long for happy endings.

This was seriously one of the hottest books that I have ever read. The author's writing improved a lot since the first book in the series.

It was pretty bad...
There really was no plot. Just confusion and not very realistic scenarios. The story read as a ongoing inner dialogue and day to day workings of the heroine. I mean pages upon pages of missing dialogue. And when the dialogue did happen it was so unimportant and very unrealistic. I didn't like it at all. It was very very disappointing.

Title: Vacation for Three: Costa Rica
Author: Nicole Stewart
(Arc for an Honest review)
Authors writing style: I have read a few books by this author. I love at the way she writes about the threesome lifestyle. Her books contain a lot of emotions and new learning experiences. It allows me to connect to the characters. It also allows you to see that loves comes in many forms. I loved that this was Tristan’s happy ending.
Overview: Allison aka Allie, is a very intelligent person. She has been a dedicated employee for a tech company. It was a great job, but was not her life goal. Out of the blue she received an offer to go to Costa Rica. She left the next day for a vacation for one. Now on the beach, she didn’t know what to do. She meets Meghan who owns a restaurant across the street. Meghan invites her surfing with friends and her boyfriend. Allie meets the hot surfer, Tristan. They hook up, but notice something different between them. After their trip, Allie returns and finds Meghan in the arms of another man. Allie is torn up and talks to Meghan about her affair, only Meghan invites her to her house, where she meets Meghan’s boyfriends Eric and Bryce. Allie learns that Meghan lives in a threesome lifestyle and she wants what Meghan has. Tristan can’t get Allie out of his mind, so he takes her on a date and talks to him about his past with Meghan and her boyfriends. Allie really wants to know what it like and Tristan offers her a new path to try.
Allie returns from her vacation with mixed feelings. She wants to return to Tristan, but she also wants to try some new things. Things just don’t feel right and she finds herself flying back to Costa Rica. She needs some answers and only Meghan and her men, and Tristan can help her. That is until Allie realizes what she now wants in life and has to make a lot of changes to get what she wants. Will she chose a life with Tristan or will she chose a different path? Will she end up back home in the US or will she end up in Costa Rica?

Title: Vacation for Three: Costa Rica
Author:Nicole Stewart
Genre: Bisexual Romance M/M/F
Nicole Stewart has done it again with this great read.
Vacation for Three: Costa Rica was a hot and steamy 5+ star read.
Erotic Romance, Hot Alpha Males and Females
Loved it, I want a vacation like this.
Allison gets an email at work for a vacation in Costa Rica, she decides last minute to take the deal and go enjoy herself for a few days.
Allison meets Meghan who invites her to go on a day trip where she meets Tristan. And boy oh boy, Tristan gives her quite the sexual experience. She also learns about Meghan’s lifestyle and want’s something similar (Hot).
After trying to feed her desire back home she can’t seem to find what Tristan and Meghan had shown her so she returns to Costa Rica.
When Tristan gets a job offer that will take him to Panama, Allison has to make a decision. Will she follow her heart or will she go back to Portland?
Vacation for Three: Costa Rica doesn’t end in a cliffhanger, however I wouldn’t mind seeing more from Allison and Tristan. We also get to see a HEA. I highly recommend that you 1-click and read today. If you like erotic romance with M/M/F you will not be disappointed.

Hot and STEAMY M/M/F
I have only read a couple of M/M/F books and they were all Nicole Stewart so I knew I better keep a fan handy! I loved this story of a young woman dissatisfied with her mundane life and lack of romance. She spies a brochure for a trip to Costa Rico and decides to treat herself after her attempts at online dating went up in flames. Allison is welcomed by the locals and meets Tristan and has a quick fling. But before she heads home Tristan introduces her to a friend of his, Juan, and suddenly Allison is experiencing unbelievable passion in not only a menage but watching the 2 men make love! This changes her whole outlook. Allison is also a struggling writer and what ensues throughout is her finding herself, taking chances, returning to Costa Rica and Tristan, and using her experiences, especially the wild, erotic passion she feels when another man joins her and Tristan. Nicole Stewart writes some hot steamy scenes! The writing is very descriptive, the reader is transported to the exotic locales of Costa Rico and Panama. I loved the ending and the hint of the possible continuation of Allison, Tristan, and Damian's story!

I was given this book for an honest review. I have to say I enjoyed this book. I don't think I could be as brave as Allison was to just go on vacation at the spur of the moment to a forgien country by myself. Then to just go off on a boat with a bunch of people you don't know . I would like to go to Costa Rica and learn how to surf. Experience some of the things that she did there. I think that she open to every kind of new thing she could try on her vacation which was great. Then for her to just accept the whole experience of being with two men as fast as she did not knowing them. I like Nicole s style of writing and she gets the readers attention with details. I ve read several other of her books and will continue to follow her writing. Keep up the great work.
March 10, 2016
Wow! Another great story that I just couldn't get enough of. Allison is an amazing character and I love that she takes off on a spur of the moment trip that opens up so many new opportunities for her. Having Tristan back is so hot and getting to see more of him than before. I love that we get to touch base with Meghan, Bryce and Eric while Allison is on this new adventure. She's exploring a part of her that she didn't know she had and being pulled between the known and the new possible future is hard. Fantastic chemistry, smoking hot and just all around fun read! I'm hoping to get a glimpse of their future in another story!

A story about finding yourself
Allison is sick of her routine life. She goes to work, comes home at night to an empty apartment to eat and work on her novel that is going no where. What better way to break this existence than a spur of the moment trip to Costa Rica. But instead of finding a short vacation to keep her refreshed, she experiences a trip that will chance her life forever.
My only issue with this book is I would have liked a different ending. (Hint to Nicole that this needs to have a second book written!) Note that I did receive an advanced copy of this book in return for my honest view.

March 10, 2016I was given an ARC copy for an honest review... All I can say is that Nicole Stewart has did it again. I was hooked on this book from the very beginning... I could not put it down. I absolutely love Tristan and Allison... Was kinda worried once she flew back home.. But in the end she took a chance and went for what she wanted... I absolutely loved this story from beginning to end... I am really hoping to read more about them to see if they end up with the guy they both liked in the end. ;) Because he seems to be a REALLY great catch for them.

Sexy hot menage stories
This is 2 hot menage stories. It is how a menage of MMF starts. It was up and down with some confusion and ultimately truth. I didn't give it a 5 because the editing was bad. The names were confused when she called Jessica to say she would be late when her friends name was Rachel. It also describe her taking some toilet paper off the role to wipe herself after she pee'd. REALLY. There was description as page filler to drag out the story. If you don't mind skimming a story but like some good menage sex scenes, then you will enjoy this book.

I want this vacation
Another smash hit... I loved this book. It was great to catch up with the characters from the Colorado vacation. I loved Tristan in that book and was excited to see him get his own Hea. Allison is a loner and lost. Who better to find her than Tristan. I loved that Allison needed to figure herself and her own happiness out and Tristan helped her to do that with little jealousy. This was definitely a feel good steamy read. A definite must read.

Firstly, this is not my usual genre. I can admit that I have felt the same way about my life as Allison did. I was glad to see that she took a chance on a vacation. It changed her life and let her meet the man that she completely loves. Tristan was an understanding lover and boyfriend. The descriptions are picturesque and vivid. I can see myself in Costa Rica lying in the sun, on the boat or making new friends.

I fell in love with Tristan in book one. I fell even more in love with him in book two. I love that he is open about his sexuality and that he found a woman that loves him for who he is. What woman wouldn't want two men taking care of her and each other. This book is hot on all counts. Loved all the characters and the storyline.

Passion!
When vacations take turns helping three become one. So amazing through trials and tribulations one woman finding the men of her dreams to complete her. More like complete "them". Nicole once again brings three people together showing strengths and vulnerabilities. Such passion in it all and so much truth most of all trust. Beautiful!

Omg...
I do enjoy these stories of sexual exploration and genuine love. Allison and Tristan are the cutest couple, but add in their little bits of spice!! You have an explosive, sexy and love filled interaction that won't let you put it down. Loved every minute of it!

Another steamy book
Nicole is a masterful story teller. She's great at weaving hot and steamy fantasies together. To me this set of two books wasn't as great as others I've read by her. Plait lines weren't as believable.

DNF at 15%. It's not that this is a terrible book. Some may really like it. I couldn't finish because the heroine bored me to tears. And I didn't care for the novel within a novel approach (where we read sections of the book the h is writing). I just wasn't getting into it out enjoying it.
February 28, 2016
Amazing, Allison's journey of self discovery with honest emotions. Realistic and not predictable. Loved it. Nicole's best yet.
March 5, 2016
Dreadfully (and unnecessarily) Long
Storyline was great but there was too much "in between" for me. It made the book go by so very slowly that I lost interest a few times.
