For weeks, the darkly sinful Zachariah, her favourite customer at McGinty's, has been raising NYC student Beth Siegel's pulse, driving her crazy with need.
Neither can she keep the tall, blue-eyed mysterious Luke who haunts the library stacks at her day job, out of her mind or her sweaty, desperate fantasies.
Fate hands Beth a startling destiny: to bond with both of them--a bond formed via sex. Sex with either one of them would have been fabulous. Together? Irresistible.
But fate is a two-edged sword and the bond comes at a price. Luke and Zack are not what they seem, and the world as Beth knows it not quite the real deal. Can Beth accept the price the bond will ask of her?
Warning: This story features two super hot alpha heroes, multiple sex scenes, including anal sex, MM sexual play, and MMF sex. Do not read this book if frank sexual language and sex scenes offend you. No non-humans were harmed except for large numbers of Grimoré, who died with satisfactory squeals...
I'm Teal Ceagh, writer of erotic urban fantasy and paranormal romances for Ellora's Cave.
My real name is Tracy Cooper-Posey and you can actually find me hanging out on my other Good Reads account under my real name (http://www.goodreads.com/TracyCooper-...) where I write erotic romantic suspense and erotic historical romances for Ellora's Cave as well.
About Teal Ceagh ****************
Teal Ceagh was created in mid-2009 to allow me to write wildly different types of erotic romances and market them without disrupting my already established readers. I write romantic suspense and historical romances for Ellora's Cave.
Teal Ceagh writes the hottest of MMF ménage paranormal romance and urban fantasies that Ellora’s Cave have to offer, and that’s a pretty extreme jump from romantic suspense. I didn’t want to readers to get whiplash crossing the two genres, and having two separate pen names makes marketing a lot easier.
Besides, I wanted to see if the writing stood on its own. (It does…boy does it ever!)
By the end of 2009, however, disruptions in my personal life meant I couldn't keep up with three blogs, three Facebook accounts, three sets of everything (I’d also been running a marketing business on the side, too). So I brought Teal Ceagh "out," which allowed me to bring her to my home blog and melding the two sets of books and so forth. That also meant telling the world who Teal really was, which would make my life considerably simpler.
Lots of people ask about the name, Teal Ceagh. Actually, it's still really my name. It's my intials: TLC. If you pronounce them, you're saying Teal Ceagh. "Ceagh" is pronounced "see" and it's Irish.
A freebie, vampires, menage...I didn't have much to consider, you will understand. It was also a quick car read, short story. I should be very happy, MMF action and all, unfortunately this is pretty all average if not trite. I liked very much the elements of a shared prophecy between races, the rising of a war queen to lead joined armies against the threat to the humans and the trinities, it offered so much potential, as the bonding threesome where two male archenemies (vampire and elf) were thrown together. The writing does not support any of it though, not enough. The plot and characters development is choppy and rushed, if there at all, and the only thing I really feel from the female lead is how horny and down for sex she is. She does make the right choices at the right moment, but most of the time she's doubting she can do any of it and the male leades reassures her she's already leading. And as much as I love erotica, I found the sex scenes also rushed. I love body fluids and their exchange, but more than once I had to cringe here, so many descriptions of bodily reactions and organs being lubricated it sounded alien almost...seriously Beth, if your vagina is so full of 'cream', you probably MUST see your OB/GYN asap. I would have loved to see the relationship between the three of them really develop, especially between the very macho vampire Zach and the elf Lindàl and exactly for Zach's doubts and reluctance. The whole bonding is supposed to be deep and permanent, including love and not only sex, Zach had obviously never had any inclination for men. It is actually resolved pretty quickly with a handjob-voyeuristic scene and a little talk, then a kiss. We get that they will get used to things changing. Meh. And I found very negative that the official accepted solution is that they will never OPENLY aknowledge that the two men in the triad are also involved with each others...that is such a backward, reactionary choice to aknowledged societal stigmas I got quite angry about it. It is freaking paranormal, be free at last!
I am curious to know about the rest of the story and the other trinities that will form, so I will probably read on. MMF, I can hardly say no. If you don't mind weak characterization, instalust, almost no world building and erotica trying a bit too hard to be sexy, this is a totally acceptable quick summer read.
This is a quick, intense read that is sure to leave you salivating for more. The characters had a depth to them that is difficult to achieve in so few pages, and each new layer of their connection and their personalities that was revealed just drew me deeper into the story. I love that these three are clearly the start of something big and I can’t wait to see where the author takes them.
This is the first book in the Destiny's trinities series. It's clearly a paranormal erotica and I quite enjoyed reading it. The story is set in a world where humans live without knowing the things that bump in the night. In this case that would be the vampires and the Fae, both not very friendly towards each other, to say at least. But an old prophecy foretells the return of an evil enemy and to fight this new threat all three parties- humans,vampires and Fae have to unite to be the victors. And yes, I do mean "unite" in every possible way. I really think this story has great potential but for my taste it was too thin. However, I have to say this book is only 100 pages so perhaps my expectations are a little high here. I would have loved to learn even more about the different species and how they ticked inside. The relationship between Beth, Zach and Luke develops really fast and in a very hawt and steamy way. My mobile phone really began to sizzle in my hand and at some points I really regretted to read it in the train (you know me, all sweaty and so). I would have loved to get a bit more time to get a connection to the characters and to really feel for them. The sex scene are really inventive and OMG, I never thought I would read something like that. But I don't want to spoil the fun for you so you will just have to read this one yourself. Ms. Ceagh writing is gripping and I couldn't put this one down. It's a good fast read I enjoyed.

4 Stars OMG! I can't believe I never wrote a review for this one! Did the story have a couple of problems, yes. But HOT DAMN! This book is what really introduced me to the MMF genre and Lord have Mercy FanMeNow it steamed up my glasses, my kindle and set me on fire. It was that hot. I actually remember a LOT of this story and I remember I could NOT put it down. But I had to or I was going to Combust! Yes, it was that hot.
I got sidetracked back in 2014 & 2015 on a lot of my favorite authors, but I plan on making that up in this series and a couple of others by this author. Now this says it's written by Teal Ceagh but that is actually the alternate pen name for Tracy Cooper-Posey. When you go looking for her books look under the Tracy name. If I remember correctly she switched most of her Teal books to her Tracy name.
The majority of her books written back then are super erotic and highly flammable! 🔥🔥 Some of her books are not. So be careful which ones you get according to what you like. I want all the erotic steam I can get and when she writes Sex, holy crap is it 'STEAMY'.
My love of threesomes involving two guys and one girl continues unabated. Might I just say Tracy Cooper-Posey writes some SMOKING menages. Lots of explosive lustiness and penetrating body parts. *thumbs up there*
Beyond the sexiness, however, we have a prophecy, a triad who have to learn how to make things work, and some tension between the species that makes things a wee bit tense. Plenty of threads are dangled for the next books and I imagine they're going to be equal parts bloody and full of threesome-ish good times.
I was hooked at two guys and one girl. The blood and guts are bonus!
I love reading a good M/M/F and although this story only had a brief m/m touching scene it was a good story. Beth has lusted after Luke and Zach for weeks and when they come together it's intense, explosive and oh so hot. Beth accepts the situation remarkably well, almost too well. Although the story was quick it moved along well this book is the first book in this series and I am looking forward to reading the rest of this series. This is my first time reading this author and I am looking forward to reading more of her work.
This is one hot romance. I love how Beth, Zach and Luke didn't know each other prior to being called to one another, but once the binding began, they meshed quite well. The triad relationship didn't feel forced or situation, but rather like a natural relationship resulting from unusual circumstances. I have loved reading Cooper-Posey's books, and her triad erotica romances are among my favorite. I will definitely read more from this author.
Whoa... this was steamy!!! I loved this book, too bad it was so short! I really liked Beth, Zach and Luke. I especially loved that there was no b.s. with Beth and she wasn't in denial and accepted what those two threw at her, plus she is bad ass! I can't wait for the next one and hope it is just as good!
Novella introduces new series about triads forming to overcome evil guys. Heroine is human and special, she has 2 Hs one is vampire, other is elvish and they are part of a prophesy. Lots of steamy scenes to - bond, and I liked that they all needed to adapt and accept being co-dependent. Good writing, with all the usual plot devices for this genre.
Right off the bat this story drops you into it without any idea of who these people are. All of the sudden the female lead character is in danger and in comes two men that she apparently knows. How, why, or even when is all brushed over and apparently this instant attraction is already begun with strings attached.
Okay I didn't get it because it felt like the book was already underway before you even finished reading the 1 paragraph. Sort of like playing catch up to a story that was already being told. I don't like books like that especially when its supposed to be the first one.
This was a one quick read. It was good but it was fast paced that you don’t get to see their relationship grow. It was like everything got solved when they bonded. There was no real threat in the story and I guess that the danger would be in another book as this was like an introduction.
This erotica novella is filled with steamy scene’s but the actual story is lacking. The title of the book is perfect because Beth just accepts everything with out question. Get in the car with two guys who have been acting weird around you for weeks, sure. Vampires, Elves, and alternative universe’s are real, why not. You’re some Queen of prophecy that will save us all, really, well okay then hand me my crown. Even Beth’s roommate never asks what the hell is going on exactly. Beth is 32, in grad school, a bartender in NYC, and was raised by very Baptist parents. I would’ve expected a little more skepticism on her part. Including in the bedroom, two men with huge penis’ want to dp, she’d never done it before, but no real hesitation from Beth. I think that was my issue with her, she just went along with everything like a puppy following it’s master. She was so submissive in and out of the bedroom that it was hard for me to picture her as some great leader. I may read the next installment because the sex was hot, but only if I don’t have anything else to read.
The Good I get this was erotica. I get that this is a romance. I like the elements of using a bond between people to create an army (of sorts) to fight a villian. All of that was good.
The Bad However, when a book is 90% sex and 10% story, there's something wrong. I felt like half of the sex scenes could have been cut and more story added to explain the elves, the vampires, and the fued between them. I wanted to know more about the Grimoire (or is it vampeen? It kept switching between the two terms, and I'm not even sure which is correct or if both are).
The Review This was the start of a series, where each book is about a different trinity. It didn't feel complete though. I felt like it needed more of an ending. It needed more depth, more story, more... Just more. Well... Less sex and more... everything else.
Great beginning to a new series. This is a fast paced steamy paranormal, Beth is lusting after two different men and ends up being with both of them and learns she knows very little about the world around her. Couldn’t put it down, great read and looking forward to more.
I have not read a book in a long time that has held me captive so to say as this one! Have to read the next. Now!!! Tree he storyline is exciting and the characters are amazing.
Not sure why I haven't read this series before now and I've had them for some time. Sure glad I started it though!! Super sexy and a great adventure unraveling!! :-)
First read in 2017. Ménage paranormal erotic romance novella. This starts off mf, then mfm, some mm action into mmf.
This was good! Maybe more so because some of the recent erotic romance I’ve read has been baaaad.
32 yr old Beth is a mature uni student, Luke aka Lindal is an elf, Zack a vampire (the two are natural enemies). Not much plot here, just enough to move the story along and it does work (well enough that I actually wanted more!); there is a bit of insta-love with each of the MMCs and the FMC, so they have this compulsion to bond because they’re in love AND it will save the world (even though they don’t know what the outcome of bonding will be).
Weirdly, this is one of the few times where I can see MFM working! It does turn into MMF of course, bi-for-you as both guys were straight. Kinda reminds me of Lexi Blake’s Steal the Light.
Sort of a cliffhanger ending - the rest of the series follows different characters so I guess Beth/Zach/Lindal get their happy-for-now ending. There is a link to a free copy of book 2 in the series at the end of the ebook which I didn’t realise til now! (Book 1 was a freebie)
There remains some unanswered questions around what Beth is now (still human?), is Zach now mortal or not a full vampire? Clearly there will be this thread continued throughout the series of novellas.
The sex scenes then included: some hot kissing, fingering then onto an mfm scene where MMC1 and MMC2 mirrored each other with nipple play, fingering, ass play, double vaginal penetration then they both cum in her. Dildo (in her ass), eats her out, (MMC2 watched while MMC1 fucks her), bondage. MMC2 wanks MMC1 off whilst FMC watches as it evolves from mfm to mmf; anal/vaginal sex simultaneously.
providing an honest review after receiving a complementary copy from the author via BookFunnel
First thing the blurb of this book does not really give you an idea what this book is about. I thought it was going to be a steamy ménage story and it was but it what I'm guess the first book in a series about fighting a war against some unknown bad guy. I was expecting smut and it is more a smutty adventure story, be one or the other not both too much to put into one story.
I was for the supernatural theme of the male characters that was interesting but where it lost me was having to fight a war against some unknown person from a prophecy told in a children story come on! how can they not know what they are fighting and the only information they have is a children's story.
The three way species relationship was new and the idea that they would change to be more like each other the the bonded thru blood and mating was interesting, but not sure about the straight guys turning I guess bi? This was not really explained well had they been with men before? will they have a sexual relationship going forward? And what I really hated was that they hinted that there would be some kind of male/male sexual stuff but they all agreed it had to be kept a secret because of other people judgment. It made it seem like being in any relationship beyond a straight one was wrong and should not be recognised.
***** Beth’s Acceptance: Book 1 of the Destiny’s Trinities Series ***** Beth is a non-traditional student (age 32) at NYC and works part-time in the library, and McGinty’s. A customer Zack attracted her attention, but he would never act on that attraction. Now a mysterious Luke seems to be in the stacks each night she works at the library. As some strange creatures try to attack her, some astounding truths come out; Zack is a vampire, and Luke is an Elf. Natural enemies, both were “called” to Beth when she was in danger.
A bond written about in folklore, between these three, will decide the fate of many. Delightful play on words, stellar world-building and a unique relationship combine to create a highly entertaining and exciting story.
This being a fantasy one wonders what will happen when three different "species" come together. A vampire, a fae, and a human come together, drawn from their different existences. Beth, waitress in a bar and library assistant, working her way through college is drawn to a handsome stranger, Luke, who is constantly reading and eyeing her in the library. While working at McGinty's bar she is strongly attracted to Zack, another handsome male. A funny thing happens when the two males, whose "species" are normally at odds come together with Beth and the three are bonded. This is definitely not a children's book.
*2020 more books to read out of 2021 books* Thank god this book is not my tracy's first book, if not i would've not discovered her other great works! not the worst yet not the best. it was quite instant and too short for my liking. everything happened so fast that I couldn't grasp their relationship. but still, heading to book 2 of the series. #goawaycovid19
2.5 - All of these books need editing. I have no problem with a few typos but these each had several, the earlier books even more so. There are also character swap issues where one name is used in place of another causing continuity issues.
Beth is attracted to both Zachariah and Luke. Unknown to her they are supernatural beings (Zach is a vampire and Luke (Lindal) an elf). She develops a (sex) bond with both of them. This was a fairly spicy book with a decent plot.
