Found in Oblivion #2
Triple Trouble
She wasn't looking to fall in love with one man. Never mind two.
Juliet Reece grew up in the shadow of her seemingly perfect older sister, Margo Reece. While Juliet's wealthy, blue-blood parents dealt with infidelity, Juliet fought for normalcy. Now she's the bassist in Warning Sign, a band on the rise, and she finally feels like she's making space for herself in the world. It's her time to shine, and she's ready to have fun and focus on her career.
Until Randy "Sparks" Pruitt nearly blows up her life. Literally.
She can't stand the guy. She definitely hasn't fantasized about gripping a handful of his hair and - no. Not happening.
Then there's Tristan Eves, Sparks' new friend. He's the exact opposite of Sparks. Playful. Naughty. Arousing.
Suddenly, she's on the verge of something wilder than she's ever experienced before. Two seductive men, hers for the taking - if she can handle the heat.
If double trouble is dangerous, watch out for the power of three...

Juliet is a rocker who is finding her footing in her career and personal life. She is attracted to the sexy and flirty chef Tristan but is curious about the broody lighting coordinator Randy. The stars align just right so that she gets to find out just what those two are about. Insert band drama, insecurities, and some sexy times in between and you've got quite the tale.
Juliet, Randy, and Tristan are completely different types of people but somehow, they totally work as a unit. Their personalities were distinct and fleshed out well. Even if it would suit a scene for them to be more one way or another, the writers stayed true to what was established. I can't say enough about how incredibly sexy this story is but more than that, it felt different from most of the other MFM relationship stories I've read. The characters have their flaws and they don't always jive. To me, it seems more realistic for this. Lord knows as much as I love my hubby, there are times when we are just not on the same page. Stories that paint the idyllic relationships are cool but I have learned to appreciate the ones that go a step further and try to make their tales relevant to everyday life. The writing and prose is excellent. I enjoyed reading about this trio and look forward to reading more about the other bandmates.
Safety: No others outside of their trio. No rape or abuse. It's been a while since I've read this so I hope I don't miss any important details.

Do you see those pathetic looking things in the corner over there? That, my friends, is my poor overworked ovaries waving the white flag of defeat. This book went and did them in. They put up a good fight but at the end the combustible chemistry between Juliet, Randy, and Tristan was just too much for them. May they rest in peace, the poor f*ckers. But damn, what a way to go.
Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott are the magicians of dirty. Magicians, I tells ya. These two wrote a book so dirty, it put dirty to shame. It's like triple dirty. Ha! See what I did there? But I digress. Where was I? *pause for dirty visual of one particular book scene*
And I'm back!
It's not often I read a book that has this much sex in it that I connect with. Because mostly I get tired of all the sex and find myself craving more story. What? Even perverts have standards dammit! Don't look at me like that. I will admit to devouring each and every single deliciously dirty scene in this book and absolutely loving it. Why? Because it had fantastic characters and wrapped around an amazing story that together with all of the dirty made for one spicy little read.
I love that no matter what they write, the characters all interconnect. If you've read Rocked and met Harper Pruitt, then you'll recall her quiet and unassuming brother, Randy, roadie to Warning Sign. Tristan is the sexy chef that was also introduced in the Lost In Oblivion series. And Juliet? She's the younger sister of Margo Reece, who you'll remember from Destroyed. And if you haven't read Lost In Oblivion, no worries, you won't be lost. But you'll appreciate this series so much more if you have since it is the sexy spin off. But I digress again.
Randy has been the roadie for Warning Sign for years, and been practically in love with the band's beautiful bassist, just as long. But aside from sniping and growling at him for wrong lighting and the almost disaster at the one show that Randy still blames himself for, she never paid him the time of day. Enter Tristan, chef, playboy, and Randy's best friend and roommate. When the chemistry between Tristan and Juliet is too much to deny, Tristan doesn't miss his friend's feelings on the matter. And what should have been equal parts dare and invitation soon begins to turn into more than either of them ever expected.
Sweet mother of all that's holy, this book was freaking hot. HOT. If you're looking for a healthy balance of story and hot sex, look no further. You'll get that in spades. But fair warning, I'd advise you have plenty of ice, batteries, or your significant other on hand as you're reading. Otherwise some side effects might ensue...

It shouldn't have made sense. Shouldn't have worked. This was an activity meant for two, right? Three should've been a crowd. Except she couldn't have imagined it any other way than exactly this.

Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott team up once more to give us a wickedly hot and dirty read.
Growing up in a family who only cared about their perfect appearance while behind the façade her parents taught her about betrayal made Juliet Reece want to avoid secrets at all costs, have some fun and find a small slice of normal for herself or as normal as the bassist in one of the hottest rising rock bands can hope for. But when the very serious lighting engineer Randy (a.k.a. Sparks) and his best friend Tristan a very sexy and mischievous celebrity chef seduce into a night of sizzling adventure, can she turn her back on them after or will they find their own kind of happiness?
I’m going to start by saying I’m not a huge fan of ménage books (this is only my second), I also don’t read a lot of erotica. I am however a big fan of Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliot and will read just about anything they write. I’m also in love with the awesome world they’ve created that spans across several series and reading about Margo Reece’s little sister and Harper Pruit’s younger brother was a must.
Though the story involves Sparks and Juliet, two characters who were briefly introduced in previous Lost in Oblivion books, there’s also the sexy and impish Tristan who we met in Manaconda, book #1 in the Hammered series (see this dynamic writing duo are very productive!). All three characters have very different personalities which complement each other in a way they make their relationship word.
Randy is sweet, thoughtful and romantic but very reserved with his emotions and had concealed his desire for Juliet for close to a year because he believes she’s out of reach due to the fact the talent and crew don’t mix. But once he realizes his feelings, he’s not afraid to express them including that he loved Tristan in their triad even if he didn’t have any desire towards him.
Tristan on the other hand is out to have fun, he’s mischievous and flirty, a sexy scoundrel. He loves his single status and puts most off his time and effort into his career, something that could be affected by their unconventional relationship. Mostly though, his insecurities made him worry about being left out.
Last but certainly not least is Jules who on the surface would appear to be a bit bratty and pampered by her affluent childhood, but as we get to know her we see a woman who’s unable to easily trust and was scarred by her deceiving parents, and only after being pulled by these two strong men is she able to find love and acceptance.
Triple Trouble is an explosive sexy and erotic read. These three very energetic individuals come together in a voracious tangle of sensual heat and desire. A small side note though, this is a M/f/M ménage. Sparks and Tris never swap spit or anything else between them even if would have meant fulfilling one of Jules’ fantasies.
In terms of their relationship, Jules, Tris and Sparks do get to know each other somewhat and resolve the initial hurtles they faced and got their happy ending but it didn’t feel of the ever after kind, perhaps because I felt as though they had only scratched the surface of getting to know each other.
I loved getting to catch up with my old friends from the Lost in Oblivion series and see the interactions between the Warning Sign crew. I can’t wait to see what’s next!
Triple Trouble is book #2 in The Found in Oblivion Series by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliot. A standalone, erotic romance written from various points of view with a happy ending.

Slick's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
4.5 stars
I'll admit upfront I was a bit nervous about this book because I'm not a fan of M/F/M ménage books, yes, I'm a dirty sucker and I like my men to be together too, but I figured if any authors could make me enjoy a "traditional" ménage book it would be Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott and of course they did. That's not to say I wasn't secretly hoping they'd accidentally slip up and end up kissing or more (and I'm pretty sure the heroine would have been all for that as well), but that being said I did love Triple Trouble a whole lot. Three very different personalities come together in one explosive romance that is filled with lust, doubt, denial and eventually a whole lot of love.
Randy Pruitt (aka Sparks, Sparky, Rand) has admired and wanted Juliet (aka Jules) Reece for over a year but he feels like Warning Sign's bassist is so far out of his league. The road crew and the talent don't mix and even though he's the head of the lighting crew he's still part of the crew, but when his best friend and roommate, Tristan (aka Tris) Eaves is dancing or more like having foreplay with her at the wedding of their friends it is more than Randy can take, but in a weird twist of fate the three of them end up together for what they agree will be a night of passion and orgasms, but turns in to so much more.
I was so surprised by these characters whose personalities were all so different yet together they complemented each other and made each other feel like they finally had a place they belonged. Randy was unbelievably sweet, romantic and gave off a reserved vibe, but when he let go he was a beast. I loved his character and the fact that he wasn't afraid to admit his infatuation with Jules or the fact that he loved the three of them together, that he loved Tris even though he didn't want to "do" him. He was absolutely the character the most in touch with his feelings and even when things got tough he was a rock and his support and love never wavered. Jules always seemed like a spoiled, troubled woman, but we get to see that her childhood and young adulthood left her a bit scarred and that she's never trusted anyone enough to really let go and just be herself and finding that with two men took her a little while to accept. Tristan, the enigmatic, temperamental chef was really the most difficult of the three. A confirmed bachelor he worried about how their relationship would affect his name and his restaurant, but he also worried about being the odd man out, the third wheel so to speak. Under that cool exterior was a man who was a bit insecure.
This book was undeniably sexy; three single people who love sex and when they realize that sharing that between the three of them only makes it hotter and better they really cannot keep their hands, mouths and other body parts away from one another. I was wrung out just from reading all of their shenanigans, but I would have also loved a bit more time with the three of them really getting to know one another in the cerebral sense as well. We saw some flashes of this, but considering the difficulties of a triad relationship, I wanted more of the three of them learning all they could about one another.
We saw a bit of the rest of Warning Sign and I'm really curious about what's to come in this series and it was nice to check in with a few friends (and family members) from the Lost in Oblivion series as well. They way they are all interconnected makes for some interesting conversations to say the least.
Triple Trouble was about fun and sex; hot, wild, toe curling, earth shattering sex, but in the end it was also about wanting something more, going after it, and accepting that together they can make it work.

Audiobook Review
Overall 3.5 stars
Performance 5 stars
Story 3 stars
This was a super sexy MFM rock star menage romance. I haven't had a chance to read/listen to any of the authors' previous books, but I didn't have a problem enjoying this one as a standalone. It's clear that characters from previous books appear however, so I may have enjoyed this one more if I had already been familiar with this world.
Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross were amazing as always in this duet narration. There are also a lot of secondary characters in this one, but I never had an issue distinguishing who was speaking (both male and female characters). Wen Ross especially shined as both dominant and demanding Tristan, as well as more sensitive and gentler Randy "Sparks". Both characters are alphas in their own right, but with Juliet, this triad really explodes with sexuality and chemistry. The sex scenes are plentiful with this book and the growly grumble of Wen Ross will surely have you hot and bothered. As much as I loved these scenes though, I almost think that it was too much (gasp!) and made the book unnecessarily long. The actual plot/story really didn't evolve until late in the book and the major conflict didn't quite flow naturally for me. The emotions and concerns were foreshadowed, but the actual push and pull felt too forced. I'm glad it resolved quickly and the epilogue left me smiling. It may not be conventional, but I felt that for these three it really worked. I'm definitely curious about Juliet's band mate, the mysterious Malachi, and I hope to see more of Juliet, Tristan, and Randy in future books.

This super sexy m/f/m menage rock star romance (try saying that three times fast!) is the latest story in the Found in Oblivion series, a spin off of the Lost in Oblivion series that stars some of the younger siblings of the original band finding their own fame and fortune. Warning Sign is an up and coming group, full of passionate musicians trying to balance their sometimes conflicting personalities with their desire to make good music. Juliet is the bassist for the group, and one of the peacemakers between the other members who seem to be constantly at each other's throats. Letting off a bit of stress in the arms of Tristan, celebrity chef and friend to some of the band members, is no hardship. Only Tristan's roommate Randy 'Sparks', the lighting director for Warning Sign has had his eye on Juliet too. Their relationship has been a bit strained by a pyrotechnic mishap that happened on set, one that gave Randy his nickname and made him become much more vigilant in his job, as well as keeping an eye on Juliet. But his attraction to her hasn't gone unnoticed by Tristan and when the chance for the three of them to become more intimate comes up, they all agree to one night together. But their one night of passion isn't enough and a secret affair begins. How long can they hide the truth of their triad relationship? And more importantly, what if they don't want to hide anymore?
This is a fun and super sexy story! Lots of steamy scenes between this trio, though Tristan and Randy are not bisexual and are not attracted to each other (however they are obviously not turned off by being in an intimate situation together). Their sole focus is on Juliet and her pleasure and she's certainly not going to turn down the willing attention of two virile and handsome males. While Randy is quick to fall for Juliet, Tristan is the one who keeps his emotional distance for longer, worried about the fallout for his restaurant if the truth of their relationship comes out. Because Randy travels with the band, he's always around Juliet and when they are away from Tristan, they find that they miss having him around. Eventually they have to admit that keeping things a secret is not going to work. The consequences are discussed but the reader doesn't really see the effect in the end, which is the one weak point of the plot for me. The behind the scenes look at band life is, as always, very well done, and the secondary characters play significant roles in the story. There is more on the way for this group and I look forward to the next chapter! Tristan, Juliet and Randy get their happy ending, and the reader is left wanting more, just as it should be. 4 stars.

Triple Trouble is a hot ménage between Juliet, bassist of Warning Sign, Randy "Sparks" Pruitt, Warning Signs' lighting director, and Tristan Eves, gourmet chef and Randy's best friend and roommate. Sparks has been lusting after Juliet for ages now, but has never once made his desire known. Tristan, on the other hand, has no problem letting Juliet know he wants her. After the wedding of their mutual friend, they all come together and all bets are off.
But, while the physical parts of their ménage are easy to manage, the emotional complexities of an actual relationship between the 3 are much harder for the 3 to figure out, especially when 2 of them are around each other while on tour together, and the third is left on his own working like a dog in his frenetic kitchen. While I loved the sexy scenes of them together, the emotional scenes are really where Triple Trouble shines. It's here that the reader gets to know the 3 people in this seemingly odd relationship.
As with any good combination, all 3 people in this menage are different and bring different factors into their relationship. At first I wasn't sure if I would like Juliet, as she comes off as shallow and more than a little insensitive, but once more into the story, her layers are revealed and her true self comes out. She's actually very sweet, and just hiding behind a completely fake facade, due to many things in her past, including ridiculous parents and a painful incident with an ex. Randy is my favorite of our 3. He's strong and silent and really intense. He's traditional and a complete gentleman. A really sexy gentleman, but a gentleman, nonetheless. Tristan, on the other hand, is a little more like Juliet, he's always been just about sex and not into commitment. He's not one for talking about his feelings, because he's never allowed himself to have any feelings about any of the many women he's been with. But, Juliet brings something out in him and he can't help fall for her. And Randy, he even has feelings for his best friend, especially when they're all in bed together. But, his feelings aren't sexual, they're just love of a brother, a best friend. I found myself wondering (and hoping) if there were any bisexual tendencies between the two men, but their feelings were entirely platonic toward each other.
Although this is the first of this series I have read, it intrigued me so much that I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series!
If sexy ménages are your thing, pick up Triple Trouble, you will definitely not regret it.

This review has taken some soul searching for me to write. I've thought long and hard about how to express it.
For the most part, I enjoyed the book quite a bit, but it honestly falls way short of a 5-star rating for me. More like about a 3.5 stars. Here's why...
The good stuff:
The characters are nice people. They treat each other well. Their attraction is off the charts, and the story is HOT. The hotness factor has been covered at length by other reviewers, so it's not really necessary to expound further on this.
The not as good stuff:
The plot is pretty thin. Also there are some issues that are obvious set-ups for future books. They seem out of place in this one though and made little sense so far. For them to fit in with these characters they needed to have been more developed.
I may be at fault somewhat here in that it was hard for me to immediately place all of the band members and other characters. It's been a while since I read the previous books. Eventually the authors do a good job of reminding us of how they all fit into the story, but half the book was over by the time this is done. A reminder earlier on would have not gone amiss for me.
A little more attention to editing would have gone a long way. I am a badge-wearing member of the Editing and Grammar Police, a fact that I can't change about myself, so errors really jar me out of the story. I hate it when I have to reread something or wonder, "Huh?" in the middle of the story. Some of this was a factor of incorrect pronouns, some of it was grammar and some of it was non-sequitor phrases that contradicted the one just before it. I spent years editing videos, so this kind of thing jumps out at me and throws me for a loop. Other readers probably don't give a darn. That's fine. Read it and enjoy.
I also had a hard time figuring out how Randy and Tristan became best friends. Their lives are on such different paths, it seemed odd they would ever even meet, much less become roommates. But this is a picky point that needled at me. I can't say it's terribly important overall, and maybe I missed something. A more important factor was the odd fact that Juliet is a virgin at the beginning of the story. Since she had what she considered a serious ex-boyfriend, this is really strange. Her virginity does nothing to enhance the story, and it just seems fake. I get it that she fooled people about her reputation and experience, but it wouldn't have changed anything for the worse if she'd had experience.
And finally- sometime during the sex scenes I felt like I needed a diagram or hand puppets to figure out what the heck they were doing. At first I wondered if this was because there were 3 people involved. But later there was a scene with Randy and Juliet that struck me the same way. I think these authors have made me feel this way in some of their previous books as well.
So, all in all, the book is a fun read. It's definitely hot, but it's not the best one they have written to date. I am looking forward to more of the series despite my problems with this one.

Really enjoyed this. Great story of an accidental threesome between 2 good friends, and an attractive female rockstar.
The story charted their dynamics perfectly, whilst negotiating the increasing public interest of what goes on behind closed doors.
It's been a long time since I've read this author, but her special knack certainly shines through.

3.25 stars. This was a pretty good MFM romance. This is Juliet, Tristan, and Randy's story. Juliet is in an up and coming band. Randy is the lighting coordinator for the band's tour. Tristan is his roommate and a professional chef. Randy has feelings and an attraction for Juliet but she has always acted like she didn't like him when they worked together. When they all attend the wedding of mutual friends, Tristan hits on and finds mutual interest in Juliet. When Tristan finds out about Randy's feelings for Juliet, he invites him to join them for a wild night together. They find that none of them want it to be one night so they keep the relationship going. There are some obstacles to overcome: family and the public finding out about them, jealousy, Tristan's feelings of not wanting a relationship, etc. But they manage to work things out between them in the end.
I have never before said that a book had too much sex, but this one was close. I started to get bored with it. The first 2/3 of the book was mainly 3 horny people without any emotions or a lot of character development. The last 3rd was where the relationship really developed. I did think there was a lot of OTT drama and it dragged a bit. I didn't feel a big connection to the characters. But the story was interesting and I did enjoy it for what it was. This was my first book by Cari Quinn and I'm curious about the other books in the series enough to read more in the future.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 18, 2016
She wasn't looking to fall in love with one man. Never mind two.
Juliet Reece grew up in the shadow of her seemingly perfect older sister, Margo Reece. While Juliet's wealthy, blue-blood parents dealt with infidelity, Juliet fought for normalcy. Now she's the bassist in Warning Sign, a band on the rise, and she finally feels like she's making space for herself in the world. It's her time to shine, and she's ready to have fun and focus on her career.
Until Randy "Sparks" Pruitt nearly blows up her life. Literally.
She can't stand the guy. She definitely hasn't fantasized about gripping a handful of his hair and - no. Not happening.
Then there's Tristan Eves, Sparks' new friend. He's the exact opposite of Sparks. Playful. Naughty. Arousing.
Suddenly, she's on the verge of something wilder than she's ever experienced before. Two seductive men, hers for the taking - if she can handle the heat.
If double trouble is dangerous, watch out for the power of three.
••••••••••••
REVIEW: 4.25 stars---TRIPLE TROUBLE is the second full length installment in Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott’s contemporary, adult FOUND IN OBLIVION erotic, romance series. FOUND IN OBLIVION, focusing on the younger siblings of the original story line characters, is a spin off from Quinn and Elliott’s LOST IN OBLIVION series. Several characters from LIO and the authors’ HAMMERED series cross over and make cameo appearances for familiarity and cohesion. This is bass guitarist for the upcoming rock band Warning Sign Juliet Reece, executive chef Tristan Eves, and tour lighting director Randy ‘Sparks’ Pruitt story line. You do not have to have read the previous series to understand or follow the spin off but for backstory and enjoyment I recommend reading the authors’ LOST IN OBLIVION and HAMMERED series as well. Juliet is the sister of Margo Reece, and Rand is the brother of Harper Pruitt (Lost in Oblivion series)
NOTE: TRIPLE TROUBLE contains graphic M/F/M sexual situation, language and text, and may not be suitable for all readers.
Told from three third person perspectives (Tristan, Rand and Juliet) TRIPLE TROUBLE follows the building relationship between chef Tristan Eves, lighting coordinator Rand Pruitt, and bass guitarist for Warning Sign Juliet Reece. For months Rand aka Sparks has lusted after Juliet Sparks but believes himself out of her league. As part of the road crew Rand works behind the scenes and quietly desires the woman of his dreams until an opportunity presents itself at the Halloween wedding of Owen Blackwell and Callie Templeton (Manipulated /Hammered #3). When his best friend and roommate chef Tristan Eves makes a play for Juliet Reece, Rand is shocked when Juliet extends the invitation for all three. What ensues is the growing love between three people whose lives are about to spiral out of control when jealousy and love enter into the equation.
TRIPLE TROUBLE is a story with numerous graphic, M/F/M sexual situations; a spicy ménage relationship with palpable sexual energy between three unique and exceptional individuals. Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott create a world of passion, heartbreak and anguish wherein our leading trio find love in the unlikeliest of situations. The premise is intoxicating; the characters are intense; the romance is seductive and erotic.

The newest addition to the New Adult Rocker genre from Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott may very well be their best yet! I know, everyone always seems to say that about the latest release, but this is generally not my favorite genre. I read this one because Quinn and Elliott are THAT good. Their writing is so descriptive and smooth that I am actually transported to the practice halls, concerts, kitchens and bedrooms they describe in their stories. I am always amazed particularly during the concerts in this series!! This story continues to build on secondary characters from the Lost In Oblivion Series and we have special appearances from Manhandled characters as well. The world is starting to get so big, that it is getting a tad difficult to keep up with all the characters, but I love getting peaks at favorites from the past. Here we focus in on Margo's (Lost in Oblivion - married to Simon) sister Juliette, Harper's (Lost In Oblivion - married to Deacon) brother, Randy and Hunter's (Manaconda) best friend and chef, Tristan who are all now in each other's social circle because of Ripper Records and family relations. Our characters meet at the wedding of Owen and Callie (Manipulated) and we get background information on who they are and how they relate to the Lost In Oblivion World. Quinn and Elliott do such a great job with filling in the background world of their characters that a reader does NOT have to read every book in the series and can pick up and catch on easily with any installment at anytime. I was looking so very forward to this book because while I'm not a rocker fan, I am a ménage fan, and Quinn and Elliott have totally outdone themselves with this book! Note there are no man parts touching in this threesome the boys are all about the girl and the sex is explicit so if not your thing, pass here, but if descriptive, sensual sex numerous times throughout the book is your thing this will definitely meet the bill! There is no waiting until the last 30% of the book for the hook up, Quinn and Elliott don't beat around the bush, but deliver it within the very first scenes shortly after our group meets up at the wedding. I love the way the threesome comes about, because let's face it, going from two and inviting in a third can be awkward - how does one approach that? Well our characters do a pretty fine job. The rest of the story centers around our group while they can't seem to let a good thing go. What was supposed to be a one night stand grows into them having difficulty putting an end to their fun. In between the sex our characters get to know each other and us readers are treated to an inside view of what it is like for an up and coming rock band on the verge of making it big, and the hustle and mayhem of being in a professional kitchen catering to A-listers in Los Angeles. Of course the separation while the band is on the road, publicity struggles new celebrities face become a bit of a problem, and our heros have a some past issues that haunt them, but together they realize their unusual relationship is for them and no one else. THIS is the book both new and old readers to Quinn and Elliott need to read. It is a great 8 hour escape and worth every penny!

Triple Trouble was so dang HOT, sexy and sweet!!
Triad romances are my absolute favorite!!
Triple Trouble gives us the love story of Randy Pruitt, Juliet Reese and Tristan Eves. Randy and Juliet each have a connect to the band of Oblivion while Tristan has a good friendship with another band series from these authors, Hammered. After a brief meeting that ended in a fiasco these three part ways for a short time only to come face to face again. Randy and Tristan are both sexy and VERY attracted to Juliet.
Juliet is looking for some fun with Tristan, but Tristan has an idea that lets them all have fun. This jump starts a relation between the three that had me glued to the pages. Sure everyone enjoys a hot menage story, but what I love is when the author can portray the complexity into such a relationship that I'm going through it with them.
I'm sure it's easier to grasp a relationship like this when the guys bat for both teams, but what if they don't? How do the dynamics work when one is shared equally? How does one person love multiple partners equally? Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott did an amazing job of not only giving me a story that had me panting and wishing I was in Juliet's shoes, but they also conveyed the difficulties they faced by agreeing to be dedicated to each other. Family, fame, career...how will all that be affected?
Their fears, concerns, love and passion was palpable and made what I read all the more real for me. A polyamorous relationship is so much difficult to work through than a standard monogamous relationship and that level of difficulty was made evident in the words these authors wrote.
I know it's only book two in this series, but I have a feeling this is going to be my favorite. Guess we'll have to see once I get to read everyone else's stories and I can't wait.

This is a very steamy Rock Star romance that has an interesting and complex story that explores not only the thrill, but also the practicalities, of a menage polyamourous relationship.
The story was sexy and engaging and explored the highly emotional journey of all three characters, from having first time hook-up sex to what happens when that style of complicated arrangement becomes a relationship. It explored the unexpected emotions and angst that it brought to all three of them as they have differing views regarding how to, or if to reveal their unusual arrangement to friends, family and work.
I was very impressed with how much care Tristan took, particularly with Juliet to obtain consent prior to the three of them having sex for the first time. It involved asking everyone to not be carried away by lust, but to be grounded and very conscious and requested verbal confirmation of consent. The several times he asked questions to obtain consent did not derail the sexy moment, rather it was a light, loving, responsible factor in determining next steps for all three of them. Well done authors - this should be a template for modern relationships in how to maturely handle getting verbal consent from partners, particularly when the sexual activity was not vanilla. I also loved how matter-of-fact they treated condom use - especially as they were intimate the first time. This is how mature responsible hookups should be handled - with class and conscious intent.
Although there were moments of angst here and there, I found the romance was believable – the characters were surprised to find themselves involved in a triad relationship (with no sex between the guys,) but each partner had sexual confidence and a comfort level in their physical proximity to each other. As the hook-ups started to become something more, they each had to evaluate ‘why am I here and is this just for fun, for sex only, or are we becoming more and moving towards a committed loving relationship for three’?
Lots of drama with her Rock Band that fortells more stories to come. I would love to find out how the three of them continue to manage after the insta-lust/nothing-but-sex phase of their lives cools a bit, and what it might take for the three of them to move from HFN to HEA. Looking forward to finding out how their relationship unfolds in future books in the Found in Oblivion series.

Randy "Sparks" Pruitt has always wanted Juliet Reece. He is in charge of lighting for her when her band, Warning Sign, goes on tour but doesn't think he stands a chance with her. When his roommate and best friend, Tristan Eves, the head chef at The Hollow, starts hitting on Juliet, Randy almost loses it.
When Tristan discovers the reason Randy he is upset he asks Juliet for one night with the three of them. No strings attached. When Juliet agrees the three have one amazing night but not all of them are willing to leave it at one night.
As Randy, Juliet and Tristan try to figure out how they each feel about each other they face jealousy and insecurities as none are sure where they fit with the other. All each of them know is that they don't feel complete without the other two.
This book was great and it was hard to put down as I really wasn't sure what was going to happen next. Each of the characters were so different and unique which made the story progress with quite a bit of tension at certain parts.
I really liked Randy but he was full of insecurities with himself and that he believed he had no chance with someone like Juliet. He was extremely caring and wanted to do whatever he could to protect her and make her happy.
Tristan was a mixed bag as he was quite cocky yet couldn't deal with how he was feeling in regards to Juliet and Randy and their relationship. Tristan was jealous over time they spent together and jumped to many conclusions. Yet he could also be extremely caring when he wanted to be.
Juliet was super intriguing as she had to overcome some of her own "issues" but felt like it was time to get it done with and Tristan seemed like the perfect person. Yet Juliet had no idea how much she would end up being drawn in with Tristan and Randy. Then she was also having to deal with issues in the band that may end up causing even more problems for her and her future.
The book had many obstacles and difficulties and it was great watching them get through it all! I can't wait to read what is next for the members of the band!

Another home room for Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott! First the fabulous Lost in Oblivion Series. Then came the wonderful Hammered Series and now this amazing Found in Oblivion series and this was does not disappoint!
In Triple Trouble, the main characters are Juliet (the bassist for the band Warning Signs). She's the younger sister to Margo (who's married to Simon from the Lost in Oblivion series) and trying to find her own way in the spotlight. Then there's Randy Pruitt (aka Sparks). He's the brother to Harper (who's married to Deacon in the Lost in Oblivion series). He's the lighting guy for Warning Signs. And the third person, in this Triple Trouble is Tristan Eves. He's a head chef of a top notch restaurant and best friends with Randy.
Juliet comes across like quite the wild child. Randy is more thoughtful and serious and Tristan seems to just want one night of fun, no attachments. They're all at a friends wedding when Tristan and Juliet are about to hook up when they run into Randy. Randy has always pined for Juliet from afar. Being a member of the crew working for the band, Randy knows the pecking order and how the crew and band never intermix. However, he can't help lusting after Juliet. Tristan suggests a threesome and gets everyone on board. Their first time is seriously hot and not without some surprises. It's supposed to be one night of fun! Boy, is it fun and hot!
What's great about this book, is you get to see all the issues and angst of being in a relationship and making this unconventional relationship work. The jealousy, the misunderstandings, the feelings of being a "third-wheel", the feelings of not being worthy and then of course, their family issues.
This book was both HOT and sweet at the same time. HOT was when they were all together and sweet as you see them working and you got to know them separate from the threesome and you really got to feel all their insecurities and issues of being a part of a threesome. I can't wait to read the next in this series. Cari and Taryn are two authors you don't want to miss!
In Triple Trouble, the main characters are Juliet (the bassist for the band Warning Signs). She's the younger sister to Margo (who's married to Simon from the Lost in Oblivion series) and trying to find her own way in the spotlight. Then there's Randy Pruitt (aka Sparks). He's the brother to Harper (who's married to Deacon in the Lost in Oblivion series). He's the lighting guy for Warning Signs. And the third person, in this Triple Trouble is Tristan Eves. He's a head chef of a top notch restaurant and best friends with Randy.
Juliet comes across like quite the wild child. Randy is more thoughtful and serious and Tristan seems to just want one night of fun, no attachments. They're all at a friends wedding when Tristan and Juliet are about to hook up when they run into Randy. Randy has always pined for Juliet from afar. Being a member of the crew working for the band, Randy knows the pecking order and how the crew and band never intermix. However, he can't help lusting after Juliet. Tristan suggests a threesome and gets everyone on board. Their first time is seriously hot and not without some surprises. It's supposed to be one night of fun! Boy, is it fun and hot!

Three people not looking for love find it in a huge way
Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott do it again. I read about this band of guys ( and a girl) in their first books about a different band. When I did I'd never imagined that it could have branched out to so many new characters. I would so be a groupie for Warning Signs.
This one is about Juliet the bassist in the group. She gives off this vibe of being a not so nice female and one that gets around. But underneath she is venerable. I love her strength of character in that she does know what she wants but is a little afraid to go after it.
It's also about Randy. He has admired Juliette from not so afar because he is the lighting director for the band. He knows he is attracted to her but feels that he's not good enough for her. He is just the hired staff after all.
Then there's Tristan. He's Randy's best friend and lets him crash at his place when Randy's not on the road. He's also the head chef at a upper class restaurant. He's finally gotten control of the one thing that he's always dreamed of. He meets Juliette through Randy. And he knows about Randy's obsession with her.
The opportunity arises for Tristan to get with Juliette and she is one hundred percent on board. Randy isn't even on her radar until she runs into him before fully engaging with Tristan. Tristan figures what a night it could be for all of them, if he can get them to agree. At first it's all about the sexiest. Then it's not.
I loved the dynamic between the three of them. This is beautifully written about three people who all have commitment issues and especially in an unconventional relationship. Jealousy is addressed and handled in a realistic way. Would I say no to these two men if it was me? I really don't think so.

What another great follow-up to the Oblivion series.
From the looks of the cover and the beginning chapters this appears to be about a threesome at a wedding but it is so much more.
Jules is a guitar player and is hiding from her past. She has let everyone think she is a wild child with an irresponsible way about her. Her sister asks Lila to keep an eye on her and to make sure she stays out of trouble.
Randy (sparks) is a quiet guy who lust after Jules from a distant. He has grown up in the roadie life and is much more calm and secure. He believes she is way out of his league but he can't help wanting her. This alpha man with a super soft heart who is gentle and considerate of others especially females.
Tristan is a chef and he is known for one and done. He does not want a relationship nor is he looking for one. He just wants Jules for one night.
As these three come together at the wedding they all agree it is a one night thing. But one night turns into more than any of them expected.
This si a romance with a huge acceptance factor. Each member of this trio must accept who they are and the role they play in this relationship, something none of them is ready to do just yet. They must also seek acceptance of what others will think about there relationship and how that will effect their jobs.
A romance with a whole lot of heart. I get lost in these books wanting to know what makes the characters click with themselves and each other.

Juliet is the bass player in the band and also she comes across as the wild child type. Randy, or Sparks as Juliet calls him, is the lighting engineer for the band and also Harper's brother. (Harper is Deacon's wife if you haven't read the Lost in Oblivion Series please do!) Tristan is a chef and best friends with Sparks and rock star Hunter Jordan, if don't know who this is read Manaconda 1 & 2. When these three get together sparks fly and everything falls into place so amazing well.
Juliet, Tristan, and Sparks, begin this amazing story off with a bang of longing, sexiness, and the set-up, which lasts almost 25% of the beginning of the book. So you know Cari and Taryn have written an awesome story just from setting that up and then you get into the meat of the book and OMG I couldn't put it down. I loved how you got each point of view so we could see how they were developing during the relationship. Each person person in the triad had their own problems to overcome and deal with and I enjoyed how they connected together. I loved everything about this book and all I can say is that you may need to keep a towel nearby because it is steamy and delicious. I can't wait to get my hands on the next book by these two amazing authors to see what their genus minds think up next. I voluntarily received an ARC in exchange for a honest review.

****4.5 ‘Three C’ Stars****
Everyone has to make choices in life. Sometimes they’re easy. Sometimes they’re not. Sometimes choices lead to chances. If you’re lucky those chances lead to change that can amplify your life in ways you could never imagine. Choices. Chances. Change. These three C’s are the basis of Triple Trouble, Oblivion Found #2, by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott. Exploring the unexpected ménage relationship between best friends and the woman who inflames their lust, these three characters will find more than wild kinky sex on their journey.
“Ménage worked for the physical part, but the idea of a triad-based relationship in the real world wasn’t so easy.”
Juliet (Jules) Reece (h), bassist for the up-and-coming band Warning Sign, is trying to cram every bit of adventure and spice into her life. Part coping mechanism, part deflection of a past she’s not willing to acknowledge, Jules is the life of the party. Uncomplicated good time on the outside, Jules hides a vulnerable inside she’s not willing to share – with anyone. A wedding costume party, a co-worker and a sexy chef are about to force Jules to make her choice – honesty or lies?
“She was used to being like a d@mn hummingbird. Hovering everywhere, sipping at the good life but never staying long enough to take a full drink.”
Handsome geeky Randy (Rand/Spark) Pruitt (H) has lusted after Jules for months. Lighting Director for Warning Sign, unassuming Rand’s used to being looked over and has resigned himself to a life without Jules convinced he’d never be cut out for her, let alone be her ‘type’. A moonlit garden, a beautiful woman drunk on adventure and a best friend ready to hand over a fantasy for three, Rand doesn’t realize now is the time to take a chance – on Jules and Tristan.
“You’re way out of my league, and I’m so lucky you don’t seem to know it yet.”
Sacrifice is the name of the game for chef Tristan (Tris/Chef) Eves (H). Head Chef at The Hollow, Tristan’s career was built on blood, sweat and suffering through the solitude until he made his way up through the trenches. He’s happy with his place in life now. Great career, good friends and plenty of women knocking at his door for a no strings hook-up. Hit it and quit it doesn’t lead to heartbreak. Commitment’s for losers and he’s not interested in anything real or lasting. One no holds barred sex fest, one woman pretending to know the score and a best friend taking up the invitation – Tristan’s going to have to make a change, he just doesn’t know it.
“They’d never spoken of going exclusive, but the thought of another woman under him, over him, kneeling over his face…f@. There was only Jules.”
Tris, Jules and Rand’s (HhH) voyage into a monogamous triad may start as a dirty, sexy, wicked and raw free for all of sexual excess. A spicy escape. It is, but develops into a much more meaningful look into the insecurities and troubles facing triads developing a relationship. How does Jules’ tough party girl façade hold up when she needs support and caring from her men? How will she ever be able to banish her shadows if she cannot learn to trust and lean on the bonds of her relationships? Smart and sensitive Rand battles his feelings of inadequacy daily while doing everything he can to soak up this experience. How will their relationships survive if he cannot learn his value and know his contributions to the triad matter? Recognizing the developing feelings between Rand and Jules, Tris is starting to feel like an outsider – Jealousy and insecurity start to creep in. Still fighting his emotions Tris refuses to accept they could ‘have more’ even though his heart wants Jules and Rand for more than the agreed fling. It can’t possibly work and he’s not willing to risk his career on such a risky move. Without communication how will any of these issues resolve for the triad? All three want the same thing – commitment, trust and caring, even love. Are they willing to make the tough choices? To chance the ugly perceptions? To make a change – for each other?
“They found laughter and joy mixed in with the dirty sex. Underneath all of it was a deep and abiding friendship. And trust.”
As this is a MFM ménage the schmexy factor is incredibly hot. Wild. Dirty. Raw. Powerful. Joyful. Unabashed. Did I mention dirty? The scenes are graphic and frequent; however, the theme of trust and caring are present in every one. This triad knows how to get down and dirty with one another and are never disrespectful of other’s limits or preferences. Always focused on each other’s pleasures, desires and lusts.
“She’d never felt more worshipped or cherished or – let’s face it – wild and dirty in the best possible way.”
The supporting characters are plentiful and appear in earlier series’ or installments. Family, friends and bandmates pepper the pages throughout the story. Having not read previous novels this was not confusing nor distracting. The pacing and delivery of pertinent information was smooth. The comradery, humor and warmth felt like stepping into your own BFF’s home or antagonizing your sibling just for breathing.
“It’s your place because you love me. It’s weird, yes, and I’d rather chew on a cord again than discuss this with you, but I know you’re just worried.”
Largely a fabulous surprise, Triple Trouble is an intoxicating mixture of hot dirty sexual fantasy and vulnerable sweet love story plus three. Raw and often aching this journey into serious triad monogamy is vibrant and tangible. I loved getting to know Tris, Jules and Rand and look forward to future stories in the series. Why not a 5 star? I felt the end into the epilogue was a bit rushed. This had no impact on my enjoyment of the story and is a personal preference only. If you’re looking for a dirty thrill ride with heart and heat look no further!
“Love is as much about being changed by it as falling for another person. Or two people. Or three.”

This is Book 2 in the "Found in Oblivion" Series and although this is not the first time I have read a M/F/M menage book, it is not what I usually enjoy the most but this book is well written, interesting and very, very hot!
Randy Pruitt (or Sparks) works as the Head of the lighting crew for Warning Sign and he has had a crush on Juliet, the bassiste of the band. for over a year now. He never tried anything with her because she basically ignores him and he feels she is out of his league. When his best friend and roommate, known chef Tristan meets Jules at a wedding, he hits on her and when they are about to have sex, Randy is invited to participate and they end up having a wild night of lust and sex.
Randy and Tristan are very different and their personalities complement each other. There are not love scenes between the men. It always revolves around Jules' pleasure and their desire to be with her.
Randy was sweet, romantic and very likable. Tristan was too focused on his restaurant and his success and Jules was afraid to repeat her parents' mistakes.
I couldn't put the book down because it was very hot and also because I wanted to know who would be Jules' choice. The HEA surprised me but I found it the perfect solution.
Highly entertaining, I loved it!
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provides by the author.

**I received a copy of this book and chose to review it**
I've been a HUGE fan of Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott's for a long time and their books are always extremely sexy and entertaining but Triple Trouble is most definitely THE hottest, sexiest and all around steamiest book they've ever written....and it is AWESOME!!!!! I'm talking call-the-fire-department-because-my-Kindle-is-melting HOT!!!! Tristen, Juliet and Randy (aka Sparks) are incendiary but their relationship in Triple Trouble is so much more than just physical. What starts out as a night of fun at a wedding turns into SO much more and seeing it play out throughout the book was like enjoying the last piece of fine chocolate in the box----I savored every moment of their delicious story! There are secrets and surprises galore as well as humor that will have you laughing out loud. Because-----Quinn and Elliott!!! Many of our favorite Lost In Oblivion and Hammered characters make appearances which will make Quinn and Elliott's fans giddy.
Overall, Triple Trouble is well written, well edited and perfectly executed. So sit back, grab something to fan yourself with and have a spare pair of panties at the ready because this one will surely make you hot and bothered!! This is definitely a hot, 5 star read!

Another amazing story by Cari & Taryn!
These ladies do the best job of creating characters that are so relatable. Every book I read by them, I feel like I know the characters, and that didn't change with Triple Trouble. I was a little worried that the characters wouldn't be relatable with the threesome twist, but I couldn't have been more wrong! I felt totally invested in this love story. I loved their different complexities and traits. Even though Jules, Sparks and Tristan were all so different, they just worked so well together. I was impressed with how the love story aspect was handled, it wasn't just Jules loves Tristan + Jules loves Sparks = threesome. All three characters realized that they worked best as a team, (even if it took one of them a little longer to come around to the idea) it was never like 2 separate relationships happening at once. It also didn't hurt that this book is HOT HOT HOT. Oh my goodness! I couldn't put it down!
I love that there are always cameos from characters from past stories and I love every time a new character is introduced, because it gives me hope that these stories will never end!
These ladies never let me down with their awesome story lines & steamy, sexy cast of characters!

What a way to pop your cherry! Then again, how interesting that she still had it to pop! And, because of how Juliet acts, nobody had a clue, not even her sister. They all just presumed she was a love-em-and-leave-em kinda girl. But at a wedding, when she's flirting heavily with Tristan, Randy gets jealous, but he'd never make a move on her. When Tristan figures that out, he tries to give Randy a shot, but Randy won't take it. He's honorable almost to his own detriment. But during an "intermission" between Tristan and Juliet, Juliet comes across Randy in the kitchen, and sparks fly. Tristan sees this, after going to search for Juliet, and suggests a threesome. It's only supposed to be one night, and Juliet really wants to give up her "v" card, so she agrees, and they go for it. But in the morning, none of them can really forget that night, so they continue for a while in secret. But when Juliet and Randy are photographed kissing while on tour, jealousy rears its ugly head, and Tristan starts pushing them away... and things get complicated. It all works out sweetly (permanent menage), and I enjoyed the story.

I received a copy of this book and chose to review it.
This was such a good story. You follow this threesome couple that starts out as just for fun through to falling in love. Watching them try not to catch real feelings is so sad at times, but you can also see how completely inevitable it is. The story is about Juliet, Tristan, and Randy (Sparky). Randy already had feelings for Juliet after working with her, but was never intending to act on them as he is part of the crew while she is the talent. Tristan, Randy's best friend, figures out these feelings while he is planning on hooking up with Juliet and brings Randy into the situation, which includes Juliet losing her virginity. Tristan is usually a one-and-done kind of guy with women, but he can't seem to let them go. They all come to need each other and bring different things to the relationship. There are still jealousies to overcome and hurt feeling occasionally to work through. Overall a great read. I even enjoyed this one more than Bedded Bliss. Can't wait for more!!

The lasted addition to the Found in Oblivion series is HOT, HOT, HOT!!!
I started reading Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott with the Lost in Oblivion series. I was hooked from book one. I was super excited when the Found in Oblivion series was announces. Cari and Taryn continue to keep me entertained with the antics of the band members and those who fall in love with them.
This story starts as a proposition of a one time menage encounter between hot celebrity chef Tristain, rocker chic and bassist for Warning Signs Juliet, and the man behind the lights "Sparks". Their one night turns into more. Jules, Tris, and Sparks then have to decide if what they have together is worth the criticism they will receive from the outside world. IS love enough? That is the question these three must work out to find their happily ever after.
I enjoyed the relationship these three made for themselves. If your a fan of out rocker books, I would highly recommend this book to you. As well as the other books in the Oblivion series.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book....
It pains me to write this review....I love Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott together as a team. I loved the Lost In Oblivion series and was looking forward to this one. I felt lost as if I had missed something along the way. The only character I could really relate to was Randy. We have similar personalities so I could really relate to him on all levels. There was something missing with Jules that I couldn't put my finger on. Tris was funny and cocky; however, I thought he was really selfish. He only thought about himself and how everything would affect him. Then when the pressure was off, he was angry and jealous. Hey, Tris, what happen to the Bro Code? The chemistry between the three of them was hot and steamy! The plot was missing the storyline. It was mostly, have sex, go to band practice, come home and have sex. I really missed the in-depth story that was apart of the Lost In Oblivion series.

I’m not quite sure how these books keep getting hotter when I’m sure that the last one was at an all-time high, but don’t let that fool you because Triple Trouble is beyond hot. It’s not just the “hotness” of this triad because the love story will keep you looking past whatever number is approved by many. Juliet, Randy, and Tristan cannot expect others to come to terms with their relationship until they do themselves. The road that they take to get there will give you a voyeuristic look into their sex lives and have you wondering how these people came out on the other side of some pretty messed up pasts. Whether you like the idea of threesomes or not this book will have you looking past any misconceptions you may have and leave you wanting for nothing but happiness for the three people involved. Another fantastic book by these two authors and still keeping me sated in my rock romance fantasies.
I was gifted a copy of this book for an honest review.
