Double Time is the fifth installment in the "Sinners on Tour" but I do know that when it was first released it was done out of order so just make sure you know when to read this one so that you don't get spoiled for other couples. I do think it makes sense to read this series in order. This is a menage a trois romance and Olivia Cunning really handled Trey's book just right. Seeing him find his HEA and find peace from his heart being broken by Brian was so satisfying. And the ending was so beautiful and I will be honest in that it lifted this book's rating from being a 4 star up to a 4.5 rating and I can only say that Olivia Cunning really knows how to pack her emotional punches. And its books like this in why I really have become endeared by erotic romances. The layers of emotion and intimacy in this book just digs so deep. I really loved the way in which this author adds different types of intimacy.

"Trey" The sound of Brian's deep voice tugged at Trey's heart.

Double Time is a story that features three characters although the main focus is really Trey and Reagan. So Reagan has been hired as a new female rock star and will be working with the Sinners on a tour. Her style of playing is very close to Brian's. Reagan and Trey instantly form an connection, and after a steamy night together, both of them feel a deeper connection and want to make a go of a serious relationship. Then enters Ethan Conner, who is best friend to Reagan but will also be functioning as her bodyguard. They were once in a relationship until Ethan was in bed with another man. There is also a connection between Ethan and Trey. Trey is bisexual but keeps it hidden. But Reagan demands honesty more than anything else and the three of them work on building a relationship together. They all have some issues to work through but also fire explodes between them all in the bedroom.

There are many aspects to this story that instantly worked for me. The first is being the close ties of the Sinners. I just love each and every character. They all have such close bonds to each other and I absolutely can't seem to get enough of seeing them all together. We also see what a great team they are in the various ways that they learn to support each other. We see Brian especially suffering being a new father and being apart from his family, and how its affecting the band and how they may lose the heart of the band. And then we have the romance that builds between Try, Reagan and Ethan. This is a unique dynamic that builds in some unsuspecting ways. I really didn't expect this menage to form in the way that it does. Its centered around Trey. Trey has hidden so much of himself and seeing him at a loss in this book was so heartbreaking as a reader especially as you invest yourself into the series. But seeing the way in which these all build it together and fight for each other and not just sexually. This is what I adore about erotic romance especially with Olivia Cunning writing it, is the emotional and intellectual layers that are blended in with the sexual scenes. Seeing their intimacy form in these scenes are so vital and I instantly wanted them to fight for each other and find a way towards their HEA.

There is only one aspect to this story I really couldn't like....the cheating from Ethan. I know its in the past and everything and even though there is some remorse, I do wish this element had been more explored to add more dimension to Ethan's character. He just seemed more on the surface and I wanted to see more with him as a character. Also get this book through your library or Hoopla, I do NOT understand the high price of the kindle book on this series.

Double Time is a story that captivates from the beginning, pulls you into the close bonds, the essence and beauty of music and the sensuality that only Olivia Cunning writes so well!

But she was a part of these two men she loved, just as they were a part of her. And a part of each other. None of them whole without the other two.

Sub Genre: Contemporary Romance, Erotic Romance

Character Types: Rock Star, Bi Sexual, Bodyguard/Security

Themes: BDSM, Dirty Talkin, Family Bonds, Heart/Touching, Hot Smexy Times

Tropes: Forced Proximity, Friends to Lovers, Menage a Trois

Blazing fire to the building-The prime focus is the sex scenes, scorching hot, and could burn one. Less focus on the emotional intimacy to the relationship.

Double Time

Olivia Cunning is my kind of woman dedicating Double Time to Randy Rhodes. Olivia you rock!

Double Time starts off sexy and fun and never lets up. I have only read one book with M/M/F and M/M, have to say Olivia had me wanting more by the time I was done reading. I love her writing voice. She had me giggling and definitely had to stick my head in the freezer many times with her scorching sex scenes. The characters are real and jump off the pages. There is so much more to Double Time then just hot sex with a delicious rock star. There are three main characters Reagan, Trey and Ethan that all have their own issues.

Trey the Rhythm Guitarist for the Rock Band Sinners is bi sexual and is done with men. He decides after meeting Reagan that he will just do M/F relationship. But through out their relationship he is realizing he is missing something and is not complete. That something is he needs to have the mixture of having men and woman in his life sexually. Loved Trey’s character I just wanted to lick him and all his Lollipops.

Reagan had her heart broken by an ex lover Ethan who is now her room mate and best friend. Ethan was dating Reagan and cheated on her with another man. I loved how she does not fall for Trey’s playboy lines and goes head to head with him in the beginning. When she finds out Trey is Bi sexual, she can not believe this is happening again to her. Trey is so sweet to tell her he will only be with her, but she knows deep down he needs to have both female and male to make him complete. She has fallen hard for Trey and she rather have him complete than not. So she comes up with the idea of while they are together the only man he can sleep with will be Ethan. Reagan had me smiling when she did not try to change Trey but figured out a solution. I loved how she put his needs before hers and excepted him as he is. 

Ethan is Reagan’s over protective alpha male best friend and room mate. He has been secretly still in love with Reagan but knows she just thinks he is gay and not bi sexual. He knows that Trey is Bi sexual and Reagan does not. He has already hurt her feelings by his betrayal and does not want her to go through it again. While he is protecting her from Trey he is also falling for him. I loved how he is still in love with Reagan and is very protective of her. 

The chemistry is hot right from the beginning with Trey and Reagan, then it is a scorcher with all three. I thought my poor kindle was going to catch on fire. Reagan has never had a ménage before. She is nervous and not sure she can go through it. Not only did I love reading about Reagan, Trey and Ethan together I also enjoyed Ethan and Trey together. Ethan and Trey chemistry together was off the charts hot. Ethan is your sexy dominate alpha male in and out of the bedroom. Who has penetrated men before but never let them penetrate him. I thought that was interesting. He has always been dominate with his lovers and would like to know how it would be to be submissive but can not do it. Now Trey on the other hand has done everything with men. While he is with Ethan he is enjoying being submissive but is also missing being dominate as he is usually dominate with his other lovers. He does not look into his lovers eyes (male and female) while making love. I felt like I was right there on Reagan, Trey and Ethan’s journey. I loved how it was the three of them that helped each other do the things they never did. I am a huge sucker for nibbling on the lips and there was definitely M/F, M/M lip nibbling.

The secondary characters add so much to the book. Dare who is Trey’s brother is yummy and I do want more of him. The brotherly love is funny and sweet. The rest of the band members are so much fun. I love the relationship the Sinners have. They are so close they are like one big happy family. It made me want to jump on board their bus and join in.

I am a little confused as on Olivia website that this is book 5 in The Sinners On Tour series but is listed on book sites as the 3rd. Since this is my first time reading The Sinners On Tour series I was not lost at all. Yes almost everybody seemed to already be a couple but it just made we want to read their story to see how they got to be a couple. 

Olivia Cunning world of Rock Stars blew me away. Double Time was my first read by Olivia and it will not be my last. I am officially a Sinners fan and Olivia is now one of my favorite authors.
