Unlike so many of his teammates, Joel never left small-town Quinn after high school. Coach Carr offered him a full-time job on his ranch, and Joel was more than happy to stay near family. In his downtime, Joel good-naturedly competes with his best bud Oakley for the sexy local bartender’s attention, but Sadie repeatedly turns down their frequent requests for dates. She doesn’t want to come between the two friends…until a little too much champagne at a wedding reception leads to a sizzling encounter. In that moment, Joel and Oakley know they’ll never make Sadie choose — she can have them both.

A no-strings affair between the trio turns complicated when it becomes clear there’s nothing casual about their feelings. Add in a sensual, accidental touch between Joel and Oakley, and those feelings become intense times a thousand. It’s an emotional game of chance, one they may ultimately lose…but if they can reach the Red Zone, Joel, Oakley and Sadie have a chance at the biggest score of their lives.

Warning: This is a full-contact story with scenes of m/m/f sex.

“I have to admit I’ve never had trouble figuring out what feelings were attached to my heart and which ones were cock-driven. I can’t separate the two with you.”

RED ZONE is the first book from Mari Carr I’ve read. I really enjoyed this sexy ménage story about Joel and Oakley, two best friends who find themselves crushing on the same woman, Sadie. Sadie has likewise been a bit smitten with both of these sexy men for a long time, but won’t act on it because she can’t choose between them. Even if she could she doesn’t want to cause a problem in their friendship.

The trio of friends have a little too much champagne at their friend’s wedding and things go a little further than expected. Oakley is all for going for it, but Joel and Sadie have reservations. Each for different reasons. Yet none of them can deny the attraction or the pleasure and decide to have a little fun… for just awhile…

Red Zone was a fun read, with well-developed and likeable characters, a great storyline, and some seriously hot sexin’. 4 stars

~Complimentary copy received in exchange for a honest review.

Writing a book was number one on Mari Carr’s bucket list and on her thirty-fourth birthday, she set out to see that goal achieved. Five years later, her computer is jammed full of stories — novels, novellas, short stories and dead-ends and six of her books have been published.

High school librarian by day and mother of two busy teenagers, Mari Carr found time for writing by squeezing it into the hours between 3 a.m. and daybreak when her family is asleep and the house is quiet.
