It's a Sweet Life
[Siren Menage Everlasting: Erotic Menage a Trois Romance, M/F/M, sex toys, HEA]
Libbie Addams has a mortgage on her struggling bakery, no love life, no health insurance…and fibromyalgia. She's worried about making ends meet when two hunks show up to rent her extra apartment. Not only do cousins Ken Dougherty and Charles Stackhouse make her money worries disappear, they offer to help out in their spare time.
They also make her panties damp. Too bad they're gay, but they’re great eye candy.
The men have a secret—they're not gay cousins. They're twin brothers hiding from a vengeful mob boss. Charles is Allan Donohue, a prosecutor with the State Attorney's office in Miami. Benjamin Donohue is the undercover detective who helped break the case wide open. Now they're marked for death.
They hope their ruse can keep them, and Libbie, safe. Because now that they've fallen in love with the delicious baker, they’ll never let her go. But when vengeance comes calling, will they ever get to enjoy their sweet life together?
Note: There is no sexual relationship or touching for titillation between or among siblings.

It's a sweet life With a fibromyalgia twist
I truly loved this story for many reasons. But the main reason. The author wrote the story of the Heroine Libbie, And focused on her fibromyalgia as a major part of the story. Only someone who suffers from this illness, Can fully understand the daily struggles that occur with fibromyalgia. As I read the story, I could totally relate to the main character. The issues she struggled with, I have felt the same things in my life. Anyone who has no clue what patients with fibromyalgia go through, Should read this book and it will give you a clear picture of some of the things we suffer with. I can't thank Tymber Dalton enough for writing the story. If nothing else readers will learn about the fibro fog, Word salad, severe fatigue, the pain, and the tears. And that is just for starters.
This is the story of Libbie Addams who owns and operates a bakery. And who suffers from fibromyalgia. She is suffering a major flair right now but she does not have health insurance so she can't afford to go to the doctor.
Her longtime family friend Grover Johnson suggests she rent out her extra apartment to bring in extra income to hire more help for the bakery. As the Johnson family shows up to help her move furniture.
Two men going by the names of Ken and Charles Rent the apartment and tell everyone that they are gay. They are really twin brothers named Allen and Ben Donahue. Allen Donahue is really a prosecutor with the state attorneys office in Miami Florida. Ben Donahue has been working undercover for three years to bring down the Mob. Ben and Allen are laying low because they did not want to go into witness protection.
Ben and Allen rent the extra apartment from Libbie and before long she figures out that they are not gay. A relationship soon begins between the three. Ben and Allen are tremendous help to Libbie with the bakery. But what will happen when the mob starts closing in?

Hot enough to melt the frosting off your cupcakes! I really enjoyed this book. The heroine is battling fibromyalgia, and that added a depth to her that made her story much more interesting and grounded. There was lots of humor, sweet moments in and out of the bakery, and some smoking chemistry between the leads.

I think the best appeal to this book was how the guys cared for Libbie, that they didn't let her fibro define her, just worked around the flare ups. I also loved Grover and his relationship with Libbie, loved that even though her parents were gone she had someone to be there for her. The whole woodchipper comments had me laughing, both times it was used.

If you like mfm, you'll like this story. It is my type of romance, the heroes swoop in and "rescue" the heroine from her difficult life. Being a Tymber Dalton book, you know it is full of sweet, hot loving.

This was a insightful book into someone who lives with fibromyalgia and all that that does to you day to day. Add in two " hunkalitious" brothers who need to lay low and you've got yourself a good read for the afternoon.

Another winner from Tymber! I enjoyed how she weave the fibro into this story. It shows how someone with a chronic illness copes each day.

Love Tymber Dalton's writing... am looking forward to more in this series.
The love that these three feel for each other is told in a way that touches your heart.

It took quite a while for my blood pressure to go down when I finished this book. The concept of identical twin hotness sandwiched around a woman who has given up on finding her special someone(s) was almost more than my poor brain could take. But I’m glad it did! Tymber Dalton has once again delivered a smokin’, steamy, erotic tale of romance and lust sufficient to please the most discriminating reader. The ménage components were a delight to read as they place you in the scene (Room? Bed? Hot tub? Wherever!) and leave you panting for more. Libbie is a wonderful character, loyal, stubborn, and giving even when plagued with health issues. Allen and Ben are tenacious, determined, and loving pieces of beefcake who fall for Libbie against their better judgment. Or perhaps it’s that they come together at just the right time in their lives. Funny how that happens!
In typical Tymber Dalton fashion, she continues to educate me as a reader. Her focus on Libbie’s health issues and the ramifications was enlightening and appreciated. The topic was woven into the storyline in a way that enhanced and did not detract from the romance or the sexual component. I came away with a greater knowledge of fibromyalgia and the coping mechanisms needed to function. It was also wonderful to see that Libbie did not define herself by her medical condition. She (and her men) found ways to accommodate – and boy, did it work out well for all involved! The character development was rich, the plot engaging and kept me turning the pages to the exclusion of anything else because I HAD to know what would happen. You think you’ve got the story figured out and know what’s going to occur then, BAM, a curve ball! The sex was positively luscious, not too much or over the top, just enough to make you pant or sweat or something. And the ending was a wonderful wrap up that pulled all of the elements together in one satisfying delivery. Do yourself a favor and read this one!

I have to say that I was surprised by this story line. Normally you read about the lead female having drama follow them to their new destination. Instead it was the leading males. I like the twist on that part.
The story line was to be expected but no of the less I enjoyed reading it. The only down side for me was the leading females' emotional battle to see her men or to listen to her men or not. Even though she knew she would be in danger or them. I think that if the witch explained what the outcomes would of been if she did or didn't go to her and/or her men, when they came back from Miami, would of been better to read then the internal debate to go to them or not. But that is just me.
Overall, I gave it a 4 out of 5.

I found this to be an interesting story, but I never really engaged with the characters. I was able to empathize with Libbie's health issues but I didn't find that there was a great deal of depth to either Libbie or her two men. In fact, I never really bought into Ben as an undercover cop. He just didn't seem to have the hard edge that I associate with this type of work. Because of my inability to get into the characters, this story was at times, at least for me, a lot of sex scenes interspersed with some suspenseful moments. However, I found it sufficiently entertaining that I'm prepared to read another story or two by this author.

I loved this book. I loved that you brought real emotional and human feelings to the story. Plus I always like books based in my home state. Thank you and can't wait for the next one. Sorry not much of a review only more of a rave.

Good fun! A really nice afternoon read. It's a tad predictable with the heroine who has the XYZ condition (why do we have to have all that awareness stuff in our light literature these days???) and the boys who are uniformly hunky and caring but all in all, great fun. Recommended.

Read this AFTER 'Lost Bird', as it really belongs there in the storyline. Excellent read and gave insight into a chronic illness I had no idea about. The fact that the author has the illness and still manages to write such great books gives me a whole new respect.
