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.

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.

Alyssa Turner is a Menage GENIUS!!

This book is so good. I read the actual book a few times before and it is literally my favorite. I gave this book 3 stars in performance because of the beginning of the recording is kinda rough, but it gets better as you go along. HOWEVER, the overall story is absolutely amazing. The steamy scenes are sexy AF, and they are well placed and well told. Alyssa is legit an amazing author I would read ANYTHING she puts out, and listening is even better for me!

Holy Panty Melter!

This book is straight up hotness. I'm warning you now. I've never witnessed a reunion so damn scorching. Tricia has her own demons to battle, but the men in her life are having none of it. The chemistry explodes off the pages. I recommend this book and will be on that I listen to again!

Author Alyssa Turner nailed it with her with her flair for writing and sucking you in.
Love,

PS- You'll never look at class reunions the same again!

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!

Thank you 🎧AudiobookObsession

All for a second chance

I found the story quite engaging. I think if the story were a bit longer it would’ve flowed more smoothly, but I enjoyed it.
I definitely could’ve done with more graphic MM burning the MMFM. I also would’ve enjoyed one on one interactions with the FMC and all the MMC’s. The only issue that I had with the narration because I love dual narration is the male narrator didn’t separate the voices enough for me so sometimes it got confusing I enjoyed his voice I just wish his characters portrayals had more of a range. This book is definitely worth the read, listen or both...Why choose?

Really good

I was actually surprised by this story. I was asked to review this audiobook and had it on my TBR list but when I started to listen to it I realized that this story is really good. I love how the Male and female characters say their own lines in this book made it even better. I really love this story and the narrator's our new to me and they are good as well.

A hot second-chance polyamorous romance

This was a hot and sexy polyamarous romance. The characters had great backstory and development, the heat level is high, and this three-person narration team really brought the story to life.

I'll be happily looking for more from this author (and these narrators).

rocker romance

I liked the story overall, the guys were great but Tricia just bothered me. I get having misgivings and worrying about what people think but she just kept second guessing and I just wanted her to give in a commit. I do love a rocker romance though so that definitely helped in the overall story. If you like rock stars and second chances give this one a go.

Reverse harem deliciousness...

Alyssa Turner wrote a hot rocker, reverse harem story here. There’s a lot of history with these characters, and I love how it deals with the mental thought process of polyamory.

I like these characters! I love how they just fit!

There is much that happens in this book, past and present. It all was explained to us by the author and handled tactfully and explained well! I fully enjoyed this story!

Vivianna Marlowe, Curtis Bonner and Erin Bateman did an excellent job with the characters and the situations. The fed off each other well, and it just flowed.

"I'm with the band..."

This was my first "Rockstar Romance" so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I enjoyed getting to know the four main characters, and really liked the way it handled the MMFM dynamic, allowing two of the guys to have a very tender, supportive, and passionate connection with each other as well as the group. It explained their polyamorous relationship well, and the group scenes were as sweet and spicy as Hill's favourite T.

*I received this audiobook free of charge from AudiobookObsession in the hope of an honest, unbiased review.

Amazing Second Chance.

I loved this story and I really enjoyed the narration. I like all the characters Tricia did frustrate me at times but it made me like her more we all have insecurities and worry what other people might think about the decisions we make. The men were amazing and understanding giving Tricia What she needs. Great story!

3.5 Stars

Four Real has a good storyline but for some reason I just couldn't get into it. I liked the male characters. Tricia was likable too but I didn't like that she just kept wanting to run away instead of communicating her feelings. There were some hot sex scenes and the ending was good. The narration was ok. If you like menage, then you'll probably like this one.

She was the missing piece to their puzzle

Four Real is a second-chance ménage romance by Alyssa Turner. I was told before listening to this that Alyssa Turner is one of the very best in the ménage romance game and boy were they not wrong. This story is about Tricia meeting up with her 3 longtime friends/lovers at a high school reunion. This story has an adequate amount of actual story and then a lot of panty-melting sex scenes. I loved each of the men and I loved the kids, but I had a love-hate relationship with Tricia, whose stubbornness was downright exasperating for most of the story. I will admit that I grew to like her, as I learned to understand her more as the story progressed and I appreciated that she honed up to behavior as well. The epilogue was amazing. I only wish it had happened more than a few months later…I desperately need to know that they are all got their happily-ever forever after. I’m just going to pretend that they did, because they deserved it.

The true star of this audio is the narration and the production. It is a duet narration with Vivianna Marlowe, Curt Bonnem, Erin Bateman. All three were new to me, but I loved each of their performances so much. Occasionally, you could hear the breaks in production, but it didn’t take anything away from the story or the performance. If you have never had the opportunity to listen to a duet narration, please listen to this one.

All in all, it’s a great story with excellent narration and if you love ménage then you should enjoy this one.

Why choose...

Omg the little kids voices were so adorable! I'm not sure which narrator was responsible for them but they sounded so convincing I actually had to look who was narrating. That's when I noticed this had three narrators and that was a pleasant surprise. This is my first time listening to each of them and They all gave an impressive performance. What a rare find three new narrators that are all very good. The storyline was unique for me. Usually it's all the guys in a band not just one. Also I liked that two of the guys were in a committed relationship to each other. I don't know I'm sure it's been done before but like I said it was unique for me and I liked it. Usually I'm thinking the fmc is ridiculous but I could relate to how she refused communication. At her age I was the type to avoid something that made me uncomfortable till it went away. Not that I've been in this situation but her response seems very realistic.

Four Real

I enjoyed the audio performance for this book very much. All three narrators - Vivianna Marlowe, Curt Bonnem, and Erin Bateman did a really great job. The story itself left me kind of straddling the line. The h felt a bit wishy washy she blames her mom for feeling “dirty” for liking what happened with her and the 3 guys but she knows her mom has a health issue so it’s time to stop comparing yourself, and she was definitely a runner, which is one of my pet peeves in books, characters who run and don’t listen to what happened. That said, I still enjoyed the rest of the story very much and really liked the rest of the characters.

Hot Rock Star Poly

Loved the friends since childhood aspect, how they parted but still loved eachother. The emotions and self doubt, the troubled childhoods and life. Very real and made it easy to relate to the characters.

This Was Four Real 😘

Alyssa Turner wrote a; "Four REAL," book right here. I was entrapped by the storyline and couldn't stop listening. I found it believable, heartbreaking at times, and I give the sex scenes a "HABANERO" 🌶.

The narrator's Curt Bonnem, Erin Bateman, and Vivianna Marlowe were incredible in this novel. They had me mesmerized with their art of narration; it was perfection and I would love to hear them in other books.

This book is one that I would definitely recommend for others to listen to. I know they will get great pleasure from it.
