Tessa never expects to dream about two gorgeous guys making love to her on the train. She certainly never imagines they might be real men. Or that one of them is her sexy friend Parker and the other their insanely hot dance teacher, Jared. She definitely doesn’t anticipate the three of them bonding and fighting enemies desperate to steal their blood. Who would create a drug that gives non-bonded humans extrasensory powers? It seems insane until Tessa learns that her mother might be the chemist behind it all. Even so, she certainly doesn’t expect her senses to go haywire or for the bonding to give her the ability to heal. And shape-shift. Mostly, she doesn’t expect to live happily ever after with her bond-mates when so many different people want them dead. But she hopes she can.

A Siren Erotic Romance

What are people saying about Tango Trio?

TANGO TRIO is a very good paranormal ménage story. I liked the three hot leads and the paranormal elements were integral to the interesting plot.

Tessa begins to have erotic dreams about her friend, Parker, and another man. The dreams feel so real that when she and Parker attend a dance class they accept their dance instructor, Jared, as the man they’ve both been dreaming about. Tess, Parker and Jared are trio-bonded, a chemical reaction suspicious in nature. Now the trio are running from an evil chemist and her henchmen who want the trio-bonded’s blood. But Tess and her two men have gained special abilities thanks to their bond-mating, along with an incendiary relationship they explore at all times.

The strength of this short novel is in the emotional and sexual relationship between Tess, Parker and Jared. I really liked how no one in the relationship was reluctant or resistant, even Parker who never thought he was attracted to men. The three commit to each other quickly and wholeheartedly, and the sex and emotional sharing really illustrated that. I liked how the author took time out of the incredibly hot sex scenes to have the three share their history and feelings with each other. For instance, Jared had been a soldier and was injured in a mission and through the trio’s telepathic bond, he shares the story and how it affected him. This emotional sharing added to the intimacy of the story and pushed it away from erotica into erotic romance, and I really liked that.

I also liked how the paranormal elements of this chemical bonding moved the story along. The plot was surprisingly action packed as the trio refused to be victims and instead went on the offensive against the mysterious agents trying to steal their blood. The author only had one passage about how the DNA was involved that felt a bit forced and confusing but it was a short passage and didn’t detract too much from the pacing of the story.

TANGO TRIO was a very good ménage story but also worked as a strong paranormal romance. The plot was well paced and balanced the many spicy sexual encounters. Readers of both ménage and paranormal stories will like this book and will likely do as I did and go back to read book one of the series, Appassionato.

When Tessa begins having dreams about her best friend Parker and a mysterious stranger, she welcomes the erotic adventure. Soon she finds out she’s part of a bonded trio, a group of predestined soul mates. Once she and Parker meet Jared, a soldier-turned-dance instructor, in the flesh, their bond takes on psychic proportions. Their bond gives them the ability to communicate telepathically, but it also sets them up as targets for people who want to use their blood as a street drug called ‘Path. Soon, they find themselves the target of merciless drug dealers, the leader of which is no stranger to Tessa.

Tango Trio is a rollercoaster of action. From the first mouthwatering dream sequence to the last scene that’ll leave the reader with something to dream about, it’s one hot, exciting story. Ms. Leaf doesn’t fool around with a slow build. She dives right in and leaves you breathless. Parker leaps from the page, a dynamic stud in tight jeans, and his chemistry with Tessa fairly burns. When Jared’s character is added, watch out.

Once the trio is formed, the real action of the story begins. The bonding makes for an incredibly close and sexually-charged relationship, but it also paints a bright red bull’s-eye on them. Their blood forms a powerful, addictive drug that fetches top dollar on the open market. Even clandestine government groups are taking notice. While Tango Trio can be read alone, it’s the second in Ms. Leaf’s Dream Marked series, and I highly recommend reading the first to understand and appreciate the background of the bad guys.

Ms. Leaf is a wonderfully talented writer with a fun, easy style. Overall, Tango Trio is an action-packed must-read that’s so full of paranormal twists and turns you’ll never see what’s coming next. I can’t wait for the next installment!
