Publisher's Summary

Lead singer of the start-up band Four Real Tricia Donahue left her hometown with one question: How can you love three men at once? She’s convinced herself it can’t be done - not without living up to her family’s infamous reputation. 

Now, years later, lead guitarist Michael Hill is touring with world-famous TRE, far removed from the small-town band he once called his family. Home will never be the same until he makes things right. 

Keyboarder Pete Morello and drummer Marty Pierce were always close, but when the one girl they ever loved disappeared from their life, their casual threesomes and life’s hard knocks revealed the feelings they share for each other. 

Reunion time for four best friends with unfinished business means they will finally face the music.  

Fantasy...meet reality.

Not your typical reverse harem!

Four Real is not your typical reverse harem story. This second chance romance has Tricia seeing the 3 men she loved years ago and still having the same feelings. But can you love 3 men at the same time? And how do they feel about it? We get inside looks at each of Hill, Pete, Marty and Tricia seeing how each decision they made effected their feelings. It is a well written reflection of their inner workings as friends and lovers and gives us a chance to feel it all with them. I love the interactions between Hill and Tricia. Their chemistry is the strongest to me, and Hill really captured my heart. Then I heard Pete and Marty, and their story and easily fell for them as well. I can feel Tricia's inner turmoil as she decides how to move forward. Polyamory is not of the norm, so she is concerned about how people will see them. But in the end, is that what matters? Their journey is full of love, a little angst and some hot scenes. It's a passionate listen.

The trio of narrators are all new to me, and I think they worked very well together. Vivanna Marlow and Erin Bateman voiced the women and you could feel the friendship between them. It was like you knew they were friends forever and had the history in their conversations. Curt Bonnem is amazing as the three men. Each voice easily discernible, I found him to be perfect for the roles.

A Great 2nd Chance, Friends to Lovers Romance 4.5🌟

This is the first book I’ve read from Alyssa Turner and I enjoyed it from start to end. I loved the characters she created and the history amongst them as well as the chemistry between them and some smoking hot MMFM scenes. Lots of emotions to work out and drama all making for a good story. I hope this is not the last I hear of Tricia, Hill, Marty and Pete! Thank you Alyssa Turner for a great read.

The narrators, Vivianna Marlowe, Curt Bonnem & Erin Bateman, performed well together and had great chemistry, which reflected back on to the characters and enhancing the storylines even more. Each gave a great performance.Thank you for a great listen!

Alyssa Turner is a new author to me. I enjoyed this quick, steamy listen.The narration was just ok for me.

2nd chance RH romance!

This 2nd chance romance by Alyssa Turner was taken to the next level by the sudden turn into a RH romance! 3x the men definitely makes this book HOT HOT HOT!!!

The narration was decent. I feel parts could have used more editing to make it sound like a more seamless duet style.

Romance

New author and narrators to me. I enjoyed the story and how the narrator team brought the story to life. Getting a 2nd chance with your loves is priceless.the sex is steamy.

Definitely Hot!

This was my first Alyssa Turner's book. This RH (MMFM), second chance romance and friends to lovers romance, was really hot. The characters, Tricia, Pete, Marty and Hill, share a great chemistry and they have a surprising relationship together. The storyline was interesting. The narration was really well done. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Not your average menage

Some people have referred to this as a reverse harem book and I'd have to say it I don't agree. While there is one lead female with multiple lead male characters, we don't have a traditional reverse harem set up. There is a strong relationship or strong sexual relationship between Pete and Marty and fact they get married during the book, it almost has the feel of two separate couples who happened to spend a lot of time together have a very strong connection and have really hot sex together.

The label on the cover of menage and more is far more appropriate and it definitely lives up to this label there is a strong connection between all three of the men and Trisha, and there's also strong connection between all three of the men even though Michael is not sexually involved with the other two men.

The story line is interesting the execution was great, the sex scenes during the book with super hot, and I love the dynamic between the four lead characters.

The narrator's style suits the book well, the pace and tone of the delivery match the emotions of the scenes in the book and the character voices were very well done. I think that the three narrators worked together really well to create a strong consistent delivery and that the use of the different narrators made the book better than it would have been with just one narrator.

I received a free copy of this book from the author and/or narrator and/or publisher and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.

I enjoyed it

Steamy and sweet, Four Real was a MMFM second chance, friends to lovers romance. Its the first book I’ve read from Alyssa Turner and I enjoyed it greatly. This is a story about learning to accept yourself. The characters were well developed and likable. The dynamics between the guys were friendly and when T is brought in it's downright hot.
This novel was narrated by Vivianna Marlowe, Curt Bonnem, and Erin Bateman. They did an awesome job with the characters. Their voices flowed perfectly and they were easy to understand. They all made me enjoy listening to the story.
Four Real was a great read and I would recommend it.
