Double Dare

Publisher's Summary

What could be better than waking up next to a hot guy? Waking up sandwiched between two of them! 

Quinn Preston, a financial analyst, is not happy when her friends dare her to pick up a handsome stranger at a wedding reception. What better reason to give up men could she have when her previous long-term relationship had not only been lackluster in the bedroom, but he had also cheated? 

Logan Reed, a successful business owner, can't believe he's attracted to the woman in the ugly Pepto-Bismol pink bridesmaid dress. And to boot, she's more than tipsy. After turning down her invitation for a one-night stand, he finds her in the parking lot too impaired to drive. He rescues her and takes her home. His home. 

The next morning, Quinn's conservative life turns on its ear when Logan introduces her to pleasures she never before even considered. To make things more complicated, Logan already has a lover. 

Tyson White, ex-pro-football player, is completely in love with Logan. He has mixed emotions when Logan brings home Quinn. But the dares keep coming.... 

Note: This audiobook in the series can be listened to as stand-alone. It includes an HEA ending. It is intended for audiences over 18 years of age since it includes MMF scenes between all three characters.

More than meets the eye

Let me start by saying that this listen is hot. Not just regular hot, but pant meltingly, fan yourself hot. The kind of hot that makes your pulse quicken, your eyes dilate and your breath come in pants...you might even need a cold shower. That being said, this listen is so much more than that. Many different issues are addressed in this book and as a listener, I appreciated that. Not only is bisexuality addressed, but the challenges of being in a polyamorous relationship. Logan and Tyson have been in a long standing relationship. They love each other deeply and it is evident through their interactions. Then you bring in a third party, Quinn, who both men enjoy and are attracted to, but bringing in a third party means different things to each of the characters. That coupled with the fact that Ty is black and Quinn is a "rich" girl simply adds more layers to this unique love story. Additionally, the narration is on point. Ava Lucas is simply amazing and her male voice and delivery of all characters is pure perfection. Teddy Hamilton is fantastic as alway as J.F. Harding brings Tyson to life. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait to listen to more from this talented author.

I dare you to listen 😉 !

WoW so 🔥 to listen to all the love between Logan , Ty and Quinn . I couldn't stop listening it's so additive. I absolutely love it when an author can write words that paint the scene in my mind . I can actually feel the love coming out of the words and I can see the scenes as if they are being played out in front of me . The performance of the readers brought the words to life so much more then just reading them . Ms St. James chose well in those whom she chose to preform the reading ! They made you feel as if they were the characters in the book . This is a book that I'd already bought and read a couple of times but then listening to it brought it completely to life . I'd so recommend that all my friends buy this book . I promise you'll also be caught up in the story as I was !

This was a great book that was not only entertaining and steamy but also addressed some societal issues as well. I thought the characters were great, the plot intriguing and the narration delicious. I can't wait to read more on these characters.

Trigger warnings!

First let me say, I’ve rarely not finished an audiobook and I’ve never, until this book, utilized Audible’s generous return policy, but I couldn’t make it through this. I stopped listening about 1/2 way through the book at the point when Quinn is abducted by her 2 lovers for some fun, rapey role playing. I should point out that I am not the least bit squeamish or prudish. I am, however, a proponent of Risk Aware Consensual Kink and the number of consent violations and borderline rape that had already taken place by this point were really piling up. So while I see nothing wrong with indulging a fantasy, even a rape fantasy, that idea prefigures some discussion of the fantasy. Perhaps an agreement to participate in such a fantasy and the mutual acceptance of the risks involved is appropriate. However, none of these took place in the book before Quinn was snatched from her car by two masked men, who are only later revealed to be Logan & Ty, who, incidentally, she’s known for less than 2 weeks when this incident takes place. Admittedly, I stopped listening at the point when Quinn, still bound and blindfolded, realizes who has kidnapped her and concludes that they must be roleplaying, so I don’t know how the scene resolves. The summary for the book contains the warning that the book involves MMF sexual scenes, but does not mention the frequent consent violations and blatantly unsafe and irresponsible BDSM practices. So if you’re sensitive to such things, this may be a book to avoid.

The writing is also cliched, unimaginative and repetitive. I wasn’t looking for a profound piece of award winning literature here but if you are a writer of sexy romance novels and the only way you can think to describe a female character feeling arousal is to say ‘her pussy pulsed,’ perhaps you should be reading more sexy romance novels to get some new ideas.

E.L. James writes better BDSM novels and that’s really saying something.

Definitely not your mama's romance.

If you're looking for OMG hot!! You found it!! This book heats up pretty quickly. The light humor is a good equalizer. While the narrator's take it to another level. I just found another author to put on my watch list. In the mood for something different? Spend the credit because it's worth it..

Great menage book!

I loved Logan, Ty and Quinn! Tackling the issues of going public with a polyamorous relationship was done well, and the three main characters' emotions and feelings were written with sensitivity and strength. I would've loved to find out where the rest of the community stood though. Peter was a jerk from the moment he appeared, and he was just an awful person. I have a few choice words for Quinn's mother as well!

The narration was wonderfully done, and I loved the voices. Great depictions of each scene!

Had to Return it

I Give it 2 stars just because the narrators are lovely. I picked it because I'm a huge J.F. Harding fan and he doesn't disappoint but the book is just straight porn. One xxx scene after another with the barest of story in between. I like a steamy romance but this was straight porn. I know, I know it's a menage story so I should expect more than your average sex but I was mislead by orher reviews to believe there was a bit of a story line. I was halfway through and after the first few minutes of meeting the characters it was just one "scene" after another and I returned it. Maybe there's more to these characters than their body parts in the second half but I kept waiting for the story to show up and then gave up.

Hot! Hot! Hot!

Double Dare is hotter than hot but it is also more than that. It goes deeper than the sexual aspect of the relationship between these three. It also touches on the struggles they encounter by being in such an unconventional relationship. I hope to see another book following these characters!

The narration was great! These 3 narrators did a great job bringing the book to life!

Double Dare

I picked up this book because of a recommendation not thinking anything of it. I listened and enjoyed it, and then I went to review it on GR and found I had already read it.

It is interesting because I don’t remember reading it and usually I do, but I will say it was pretty great there are parts I am not completely sold on and parts I loved. There were a lot of sexy times. So if you in the mood for some MMF this has the story and the sexy times.

For me it’s all about the story, I want to know how they find a third if they want a third and why. How each person brings something new to the relationship I love that. Because they could have chosen to stay a twosome but they both knew something was missing. That is why I love MMF so much.

I wanted more from the end. I think Quinn was acting a little selfish and that whole coming out part just didn’t work for me. But the rest was great.

I very much enjoyed the narration I think all three narrators did a great job. The growls… I swear swoon!

Steamy

This book contains M/M, BDSM and M/M/F themes and had me intrigued from the start.

Having listened and read several books by Jeanne St John I was interested in how Quinn Preston, Logan Reed and Tyson White would blend together, particular y since Logan and Tyson were already in a committed relationship when Quinn catches Logan’s eye.

When Logan takes a drunk Quinn home to sleep it off, she has no idea how her life is about to change.

There is certainly chemistry between all 3 main characters and relationship combinations. This was a story that was steamy and hot. There was also humour within and I felt that the narration by Ava Lucas, Teddy Hamilton and J F Harding really brought the story to life for me.

Double Dare is well written and although there were plenty of steamy scenes I wanted more of an insight into their relationship other than in the bedroom. Perhaps the author will re-visit these characters again and we will learn more.

🔥🔥 Scorching hot!! 🔥🔥

While I haven’t listened to a lot of ménage, this is by far my favorite. I liked the characters & the story but especially loved the sex scenes!! 🔥 The only thing hotter than this book was the narration! Kudos to Ava, Teddy, and JF! ❤️ 🎧

This has to be the hottest audiobook EVER!!

I need more stars for this book. I know it will be my go to listen when I need hotness that is off the charts! Great storyline, fantastic characters and amazing sex scenes. I definitely need more from Jeanne and these characters. Thankfully there is more!!

so flipping hot

Jeanne St. James is just the master at telling a hot spicy story. I love a good MMF/MFM story and boy is this a hot one. I loved Logan, Ty and Quinn they were a perfect match for each other. Logan was such a great Alpha he was the boss for sure. it was just so flipping hot I am sure my blood pressure was sky high at some points. All the characters loved each other and it was so nice seeing the progression in the relationships. i understand why ty was a little unsure at first it must be hard to share the person you love especially with someone of the opposite sex. The narration was perfect, amazing spot on. I cant wait for more from the menage series. Well worth a listen or three.xxx

Wow I loved this story!!

This story was amazing - unbelievably sexy and such a loving story as well!!
Brilliantly written and great characters. But be warned it may burn your fingers its so hot!

Hot, sweet fun!

Double Dare will take you on a very hot journey, so make sure you are ready to be both entertained and teased! Quinn , Logan and Ty are a great combination. Logan and Ty are hot and kind, treating Quinn with care while allowing her to experience new layers to both love and lust. A great, fan-yourself, listen.

Hot! Hot! Hot!

I never know what to expect from menage, it's a subgenre that is out of my comfort zone. Each time I listen, I think, nah, that isn't really for me. This time, I have to say, I loved the story. Jeanne St. James has written a taboo romance so eloquently, but with so much heat, that I don't think most realize the powerful story behind it. Logan and Ty are in a loving relationship, but have considered having a woman join them. Logan meets Quinn, a beautiful woman and is instantly attracted to her. When he brings her home, there is instant chemistry between the three of them. But adding a third person to this will change the dynamics for all three of them! St James has crafted a love story with multiple taboos, including bisexuality, biracial partner and adds polyamory not only with a heat index off the charts, but with care and . There are circumstances brought to light; insecurities with the status of the relationship, the idea of going public together and how will it effect not only their reputation for business but also in their personal lives. Making the story relatable as well as sensual is key for me, and it drew me in and made me love each of the characters. A winning combination for an amazing story.

What an incredible narration team there is for this book! You can't have a better set of voices for these three characters. Ava Luca brings her talent together with Teddy Hamilton and JF Harding, providing a sensual, vulnerable and hot performance.

Scorching hot!

When her friends dare her to have a one night stand with the handsome stranger Logan, he turns her down. So why does Quinn then wake up in his bed the next morning only to accept another dare from him and his boyfriend Tyson.
Double Dare by Jeanne St James is an absolute joy. It's a scorching hot and sexy MMF menage read with a great storyline. I love the relationship Logan and Ty have and Quinn fits into their lives perfectly. The narrators do a great job of bringing the characters to life. I highly recommend!
