Sex that's twice as good, love that's three times stronger.

When Jodi returned to Burlington after a nasty divorce, broke and without a much needed place to sculpt, she never expected to bump into Paxton, her best friend from growing up. With her unresolved feelings for him still smoldering, it was a shock to find him married—to a great guy. But when Paxton and Nicholas off...more

Thank you to Alyssa Turner for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.~




M/M/F has me totally intrigued at the moment.
I'm slightly becoming addicted… Hell lets be honest I'm already addicted.
This little number sure did not disappoint!!!

Do you enjoy a great surprise? I enjoy them under the right conditions. A surprise is something that remains in the heart of the recipient for many years to come.

The author, Alyssa Turner, an author of several steamy erotic menage romances, does it again by writing a precious read I believe you will enjoy.

Ms. Turner enchants her audience with an easy flowing and energetic writing style. Her characters, settings and other key writing elements are balanced and realistic. Ms. Turner taps all of the...more

By Surprise is a wonderful ménage story. There is something to love about all three of these people. This is one that takes an existing couple and adds in a third person without it seeming a bit crazy.

Paxton wanted to do something really special for his husband Nicholas’s birthday, so he offers to have a threesome with a woman knowing that Nicholas can’t just stop being a bisexual because they got married. But before that big event can...more

Paxton and Nicholas have been in a committed relationship for six years, and legally married for two. They have a very strong relationship, Paxton always knowing exactly what Nicholas needs and vice versa. Nicholas knows Paxton used to date women and considers himself bi-sexual but in the years he has been with him, the issue of women has never come up. That is until Nicholas finds a box of cheerleader porn stashed away. Nicholas doesn’t feel threatened by this, rather he wants Paxton to explore...more

This is the second book that I have read by this author and she continues to surprise and please me. I loved this book. The characters were well thought out and their getting together was very realistic.

The interaction between the men, Paxton and Nicholas is hot. They are a couple and married to one another. They know that they want to be together forever. Though Nicholas can sense that Paxton is holding back the need to be with a woman. So why not give Paxton the ultimate gift for his birthday?...more

By Surprise by Alyssa Turner really took me by surprise. I was expecting a scorching hot ménage erotica and instead I got a wonderfully moving and emotional love story (which of course had some very hot scenes).

I was truly amazed what a well rounded story Alyssa Turner managed to create in such a short novella of only 94 pages. Not only was there a developed plot (nope, this is no smut without plot story), the characters were fell fleshed out and, which is not a small feat once again considering...more

Reviewed by Joe: Being bisexual, I always try to review as much bisexual work as I can. I usually either love it or hate, I’m never left just in the middle, however, this one left me in the middle. While I liked the book, I don’t think it’s going to be a repeat read for me. The characters were a little dull for me and I didn’t feel myself rooting for them. I also found myself starting to drift at some parts of the book and get distracted by other things. M...more

I found this book in a roundabout sort of way and decided to give it a try. It ended up being quite different than I expected. Not bad but definitely different than my norm. This story involves a gay male couple who might be interested in including a woman in their lives. One of the hero's childhood friends comes back into his life and they end up all three attracted to each other. It was a sweet book - everyone definitely cared about each other and all had issues to work through about whether o...more

When Paxton stops at a local grocery for a few items for his husband, he has more than one thing that will be a surprise for him in this book.
Especially, when he see someone from his past but will this be a positive or ...

Solid 5 star book from Alyssa. I really enjoyed reading this book.

2.5 stars but I rounded up.

Decnt story although the living situation struck me as highly implausible. A quick and fairly enjoyable read.

She enjoys writing in several sub-genres, including...more
