Three of Hearts

by

Kelly Jamieson

Haylee Tremayne is tired of the road. The concert tour for Three of Hearts was a success, but she’s confused by the inexplicable tension between her bandmates, Ben and Lucas. She’s also ready to go home to her boyfriend in Nashville. Time off would probably help everyone relax, even if it is Christmas, a season with too many bad memories.

But right before their last concert, Haylee discovers she’s been dumped for a sexy girly-girl. Story of her life: all guys see is tomboy Haylee. At the after-concert party, she drowns her sorrows and—desperate to feel feminine for once in her life—asks Ben and Lucas for a threesome. And it’s just as sexy and fun as she hoped.

Back in Nashville, Ben and Lucas prove again and again that their first night wasn’t a mistake. But the tension between them is still high, and on Christmas Eve, their ménage takes a stunning turn. When it all falls apart, Haylee is terrified that their crazy relationship might cost them the band, their success, and worst of all, each other.

Each year, Riptide Publishing releases a holiday collection in support of an LGBTQ charity. Twenty percent of all proceeds from the  Share the Love collection  will be donated to the  It Gets Better Project.

This collection would not be possible without the talent and generosity of its authors, who have brought us the following holiday stories:

  • Three of Hearts by Kelly Jamieson (releasing November 17)
  • Lucky Strike by Jane Davitt (releasing November 24)
  • Three the Hard Way by Sydney Croft (releasing December 1)

About Kelly

Kelly is a married mother of two who lives a very ordinary life outside of her imagination. When she’s not writing, she’s usually reading. She also likes to cook, and that means she likes to read cookbooks and cooking magazines. In the summer she enjoys spending time gardening, and in the winter she likes to read gardening magazines and seed catalogues. She loves lying on the beach or on her deck with a glass of wine and a good book. She also loves to travel. As you can see, pretty much all of her activities involve reading somehow! Although she doesn’t have as much time for it anymore, she also loves to shop, especially for clothes and shoes. Some think she’s obsessed with shoes but that is not true (although her husband would point out that there is no room left in our closet).

She loves to hear from readers, so visit her on her  website, tweet her on Twitter, leave her a comment on Goodreads or Amazon or her blog, or email her at info@kellyjamieson.com.

Help us choose a charity!

Every year, Riptide Publishing releases a Holiday charity bundle with themed stories by bestselling authors. Twenty percent of the net proceeds of each bundle goes to a charity that serves the LGBTQ population.

Royalties from Riptide’s 2013 Home for the Holidays charity collection have raised over $14,000 in nine months for the Ali Forney Center, and continue to yield several hundred dollars per month in royalties donations. Our 2014 Share the Love charity collection will be raising money for the It Gets Better Project, and we hope to report even better results than in 2013.

For 2015, the theme will be Holiday Surprises, and we’ll have stories by HelenKay Dimon, Christine d’Abo, and Marie Sexton. But we don’t have a charity yet.

We need YOUR help to choose the 2015 charity. Nominate your favorite LGBTQ charity below and Riptide might choose it as the 2015 Holiday bundle charity!

The chosen charity for 2015 will immediately receive a $5,000 advance against royalties (paid in 2015 on announcement of the award recipient). The charity will continue to receive 20% of all lifetime net sales income from the 2015 holiday charity collection, in the form of a monthly royalty check.

Three honorable mention charities will each receive a $250 donation.

Click here to nominate a charity. Both supporters and representatives of a charity can submit a nomination.

Review:  My first impression of the Three of Hearts band was Lady Antebellum or Sugarland. In my mind, I saw three friends who loved music and worked well to create it. But not too many pages in, Haylee is faced with a personal dilemma, and Lucas and Ben rush to comfort her. This was more than just a nice working relationship.

Now, how you as a reader rate this book is going to be about what your expectations are. If you are looking for a full on MMF romance, you will be disappointed. The sex in this book is beyond hot, but most of the scenes are about giving Haylee pleasure. It’s not until the very end of the book, like three scenes out, that we even get a hint of the guys romantic interest in one another.

At that point, I’d stop waiting for it, and was just enjoying the romance, well more like friends with benefits deal that the band had going on. But, when everyone started laying their cards on the table, you could see how maybe, just maybe this relationship could work. Lucas may be a little slow on the uptake, but he catches on quick. *wink*

This story is just long enough to be an enjoyable snack. I read it in one sitting and…did I mention the sex is hot as hell? And the epilogue tied all the loose ends up nicely.

Highly recommend.
