RELEASE & REVIEW TOUR - Bedfellows by Lola Leighton




I wasn't looking to fall for one man. Let alone two... 

Sullivan and Will are as close as two friends can be. Growing up in the system forced them to rely on each other, and they've become accustomed to sharing everything—including women. 

Now they're ready for more. To find love. To start a family. To see the dreams they've shared since childhood come true. 

Apparently I tick off every box on their list—brains, beauty, and sass. I never hesitate to put both men in their places—which they find sexy as hell. 

One problem, I'm a traditional girl, with traditional values—one man, one woman, till death do us part—kind of values. 

They're willing to work to prove how very right the three of us could be, but what happens next is anyone's guess... 


I knew a few months back that Lola Leighton is the pseudonym for an author whose books I've read religiously for the last few years, and I was excited to see them branch out with this book. Being familiar with their writing style, I could pick up subtle nuances, but that enhanced the story because seeing it written in a different type of romance made it seem almost new. I liked that Will and Sullivan have been friends so long that they understand each other's wants and needs without needing to say the actual words. Having been close so long, it's only natural that they share everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. Adrienne is a straight-laced young woman who knows and appreciates the value of hard work, although the day we (and Sullivan and Will) meet her she's having a truly terrible day. Her upbringing was very conservative, so imagine her shock when she finds herself attracted to both men. It's an interesting look at an unconventional romance, but I like how LL wrote all three characters, with their strengths and weaknesses and we get to see how they make this arrangement work.


EXCERPT

“Tonight has been great, Sullivan. It's just, when I think about adding Will into the equation, I get …”

“Scared?”

She shook her head. “Butterflies.”

“Butterflies are good, right?”

“I think so.” Her voice was barely above a whisper. I leaned in closer, captivated by her. Everything about her drew me in—from the swell of her full lips, to her uncertainty about this, and especially her willingness to try.

“He's not here now. Put the butterflies away.”

“Okay.” She smiled.

I leaned in closer. “I've wanted to kiss you all night.”

She wet her lower lip with the tip of her tongue and it was all the answer I needed. She wanted this, too. Wanted me.

My heart pumped faster with that secret knowledge.

Tilting her chin so that her lips met mine, I took her mouth. Gently at first, and then with a growing sense of hunger as her warm, wet tongue came out to meet mine.

She tasted incredible. Slightly sweet from the wine, and feminine and simply perfect.
