Spirals
Genre: Futuristic Multicultural Menage
Kaori Carnelian was only sixteen when Los Angeles was hit by an earthquake that devastated it. With the world trying to recover from a plague that has wiped out half of the population, she learns how to survive by her wits and a great ability to hide, scavenging through what is left of LA.
Years later, the government sends in recon men Sergeants Tobias Noble and Orion West to find any survivors before another earthquake destroys everything. They find her pleasuring herself and instantly both want her. Her world spirals out of control in a very delicious way. But when the men have to go find two others in their regiment that are missing, Kaori has to decide if her love outweighs her instinct for surviving.

About the author
Beth D. Carter
100 books229 followersI began reading my mom’s Harlequin Presents in the fifth grade, and from the first story I knew I wanted to write romance novels.
I like writing about the very ordinary girl thrust into extraordinary circumstances, so my heroines will probably never be lawyers, doctors or corporate high rollers. I try to write characters who aren't cookie cutters and push myself to write complicated situations that I have no idea how to resolve, forcing me to think outside the box. I love writing characters who are real, complex and full of flaws, heroes and heroines who find redemption through love.
I’ve been pretty fortunate in life to experience some amazing things. I’ve lived in France, traveled throughout Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
I am a mom to an amazing boy. I live in Los Angeles, surrounded by friends and family.
I hate washing dishes but I love cooking. I hate washing clothes but I love wearing them.
Writing my bio is difficult because I never know what to say so I hope you like this one. My favorite color is red but I look best in black (it’s slimming). I hate people who don't pick up their dog's crap in public places, people who don’t use turn signals, and I really hate people who are rude and condescending. I especially hate discrimination in all and every form. And although I love holding a book in my hand, I absolutely adore my e-reader, whom I’ve named Ruby. So many books at the touch of a button!
Also, Elizabeth Monvey is my pseudonym for writing steamy MM romance. LOVE is LOVE!

LynnMarie’s Review
Spirals is a futuristic ménage romance, written in a first person POV. Don’t underestimate this book, or its author, Beth D. Carter. You are not only treated to a scorching hot read, but an in depth story that you won’t soon forget. I was totally engrossed in this novel and couldn’t stop reading until the end.
Kaori has been living all alone for years, in the rundown remnants of LA. She’s learned to be self sufficient, an excellent survivor created out of necessity. It’s touching to read about this young woman’s story. She develops into a woman with no experience besides the sex toys she’s found on her journey. Kaori was such a likable character, and I’ll remember her fondly for a long time to come.
Tobias and Orion are two very different men, but both come to love Kaori as deeply as each is capable. Kaori first thinks they are some of the dangerous men that lurk in the night, but quickly finds out they have arrived to help her. New feelings blossom within her for the two men, and she fantasizes about an encounter with both.
As the exciting plot progresses, the romance also thickens. I loved how close Tobias and Orion were as friends. This was a tasteful ménage with no discomfort or jealousy between anyone.
Spirals has made me a Beth D. Carter fan! If you enjoy a well fleshed out story that will take you away while you read it, with an erotic edge, definitely give Spirals a try.

The only reason this is four stars and not five is because I think there is more story to be told!!! I tried to find if this is a series to no avail. I want to know what happened with the other two rescue teams!!!
I really enjoyed this after the whole end of the world hoopla this week! I was in the right mindset for a good post apocalypse read!!
There was plenty of steam here but also a well written story to go along with it. Kaori is a tough chick who is perfectly patched with West and Noble! Overall a really well rounded love story with just enough adventure to keep you on the edge of your seat!!!
I really hope there are more!!! Like Sar/Mari/Gabe and Hyde/Evie/Seek stories to fill in the blanks left in this story!!!

A first time for me reading Beth Carter's work and I absolutely LOVED it! Such great writing. There's nothing better than a great story with a menage romance. It rocked :)
Kaori has survived on her own for many years. Ever since the earthquake took away all she's known. That's until two recon men find her and she discovers many new things and feelings. Is it because of the lack of human contact or the men themselves? Kaori, Tobias and Orion discover many things since coming together. One of them is love.

Must read book if you love a great adventure, good writing and a sweet menage romance! This book reminded me of a grown up (very grown up) version of The Hunger Games. I really enjoyed it!!

The only thing I would have changed about this book is to have made it the first of a series.
