Red Zone is a fantastic contemporary romance by Mari Carr. This is a M/M/F menage book so it may not be for everyone. This is a fairly quick read, perfect for those with limited reading time. Ms. Carr has once again delivered a well-written book populated with lovable characters. Sadie is interested in best friends Oakley and Joel but was afraid picking one would drive a wedge between the friends. But were there other options? Sadie, Oakley and Joel's story is packed with drama, steamy romps, humor and a little angst. I enjoyed reading Red Zone and look forward to my next book by Mari Carr. Red Zone is part of the Boys of Fall Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

This was a smoking hot book! Joel and Oakley have been friends forever and have also wanted the same girl for years. Sadie always turns them down because she never wanted to choose one over the other and has no intentions of ever getting married. Then, one fateful night at a wedding they all attended, and after many glasses of alcohol and flirting, they let Sadie know that she doesn't have to choose but can have them both and at the same time with no strings attached. Can they keep it just friends with benefits or do feelings develop between the three of them. Are they destined for happily ever after or heartbreak?I really enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone who over 18 years of age who enjoys reading menage m/f/m or m/m/f.

Great read and a good story. Yes it has all the things you might expect in a three way that has one straight, one bi, and a hot female, but it has a lot more. When the encounters keep happening at a place of business, will someone come in and will it be the owner, her dad?? You have to read it to find out.

…she was currently the cream filling in a cowboy Oreo…One of the best lines – evah. And pretty much tells the reader the fun that’s in store for them in Red Zone. It’s a quick, scorching hot read with great story and character development. I quickly connected with all three main characters, and Sadie is now one of my favorite residents of Quinn. Joel & Oakley are both pretty darn delicious, but Joel won my heart. I loved it. If I were to have a complaint it would be that it ended much too soon.Red Zone is another winner in the Boys of Fall series. All I can say is “Keep’em comin’.”

Sometimes love can be scary. Sadie can't decide between Joel and Oakley, so she refuses to date either one. Oakley proposes a solution which involves the three of them getting together.
