Throuples/Triads

We came across a great article from Women's Health Magazine that explains the true meaning of the words "throuple" and "triad." Since there has been some criticism in the past over my use of those words, I read it with interest. I quote the article here:

"The concept of non-monogamy has been around for ages. But lately, there’s been a rise in the use of the word “throuple” to describe a certain kind of committed relationship structure that calls for more than two people.

As you may have guessed, a throuple is a romantic relationship between three people. Not to be mistaken for an open relationship (where people in a relationship have sex with people who are not their partner) or a threesome (sex between three people), a throuple is a balanced, consensual, and committed relationship. And while the term might be new to you, Ann Rosen Spector, PhD, a clinical psychologist in Philadelphia, insists there’s nothing new or unusual about the concept.

Why? Because "it’s totally possible to be in love with more than one person at one time," she says.

Just a heads up: A “throuple” is usually referred to as a “triad” within the non-monogamy community, says Anna Dow, LMFT at Vast Love, a relationship counseling center for those who are non-monogamous. These relationships “are intentional partnerships of three people,” Dow explains."


So, you may have favorite and non-favorite words, but I stand behind my use of these terms in my MMF books. I just hope you all enjoy them as much as I do and appreciate everyone taking a chance at reading my books and leaving your honest opinions in the form of a review.

It's nearly done!

Hey lovely readers...

I hope you're all in the mood for something new. My current work-in-progress is nearly complete. Look for a cover reveal soon for my historical romance The Golden Rush. It's an MMF love story set during the 1849 Gold Rush of California.

Oh, man, do I love these characters! And my beta reader calls them her "friends," so I guess it's not just me.

Get ready for some adventure, heartbreak, serious heat, and a story that you won't want to put down or will be able to forget. This book will twist you up into a wad and squeeze your heart!

Talk about a labor of love. Phew.

Happy New Year,
Ariella Talix

Pre-order!

First of all... oopsie!

Amazon had a global meltdown that affected my pre-order for Compelling Urges. It's now available, but for the past 2 weeks, it was stuck in no-man's-land and couldn't be accessed.

So... the upshot of this is that the book will be released on September 1 rather than in August, with my apologies (not that it was my doing, mind you)!

Grab yourself a copy! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0976DRRDB

New book coming in August!

Hey, readers!

My next book is coming out on August 10. Look for a loose spin-off of Just Curious called Compelling Urges.

It's another MMF love story. <3 <3 <3

This one is full of drama and plenty of angsty, feely feels.

I had a ball writing this one. It's once again set in So. California- this time in Del Mar in north San Diego County.

It will be up for pre-order any minute now on Amazon.

Published!

Just Curious is now live and available to purchase from Amazon or download for free with Kindle Unlimited. The feedback has been wonderful!

I'm so proud of this crazy book and had a ball writing about where I grew up.

The story is a steamy MMF yarn with some exciting suspense and some international escapades that suit their uber-rich lifestyle.

I had to confer with a leading web security guru about the technical issues of the book, and he taught me a lot about the top hackers in the world. He also (very helpfully) owns a Tesla. So, even though the plot is a wild one, it's conceivable.

The baddies are really awful, and that's always loads of fun.

But the good guys- Willa and her men Jackson and Casey are wonderful. Read their story and fall in love with them the way I did.

Happy reading!

It's getting closer to release day!

Just Curious is doing great as a pre-order. In fact, it hit TWO bestsellers lists right out of the gate and was #2 bestselling new release. I can't wait to see what happens when the book actually goes live.

The paperback version will be available a couple of days before the e-book- both from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08SBZW3XN

If you want to leave an early review, please check it out on NetGalley or BookSirens.

New book on its way soon

OK, readers, so I'm like the WORST at blogging regularly. But it occurred to me that someone out there might be interested to know that I'm working diligently on another MMF book. The cover has been posted here on GR, and it's called "Just Curious." Take a look!

Willa Camden is a brilliant and beautiful author of erotic romance, and she meets her new neighbor Jackson Mitchell- a brainiac billionaire. Their relationship gets off to a good start before we meet his lifelong best friend Casey Melrose, and Casey becomes the third part of the triad.

Whooeee!! This is a steamy one, but they also have some pretty exciting times together outside of the bedroom.

This book takes place mostly in my old hometown in California. That was fun to write about, but sad to find that some of my old favorite places to go are now gone. That's life, I guess.

Anyway, stay tuned for a pre-order date for Just Curious. I ought to have that figured out soon.
