A musician, a computer designer, and a tavern owner walk into a bar: it’ll take three shots to get this right …

When Reeve Jenkins picks up his guitar to sing at a local dive bar, the last thing he expects is to bring a guy home that night. Grant McGuire is a man drowning his sorrows in beer after a painful breakup. Having some fun in bed is easy for the two of them but while hookups are simple, pursing a relationship never feels quite right.

Rachael Bradford has seen plenty of attractive men walk into the Hawk Point Tavern but she’s too busy running the place to worry about taking any of them home.

The chemistry between them is off the characters but when Reeve and Grant offer her more than a quick fantasy, they’ll have to figure out how to navigate an openly poly relationship in the small town of Pendleton Bay.

Originally released in 2017, Three Shots has been re-written with an additional 40k words of content, set in the Pendleton Bay Universe, and re-edited.

My Rating - 4.5 Stars!

Three Shots is a fantastic menage romance. This Brigham Vaughn MMF romance is a great mix of fun and heat. 

Take note that this is a new, updated edition releasing in 2021. The reviews from 2017 need to be ignored. The author has revamped this story from a hot, short story, and added a whole lot of emotion, development, and charm to the original content. 

This relationship is slow going, taking years to cement itself. Grant and Reeve have one hot night together, but Grant isn't looking for something serious. They definitely connect well and it's relaxing and hopeful. 

And then there's Rachael. And hot damn, even her masturbation scene is smoking, as she dreams of two men taking her at once. 

I enjoy the pace of this story. There are a lot of time jumps. Sometimes that can be annoying, but I really enjoyed it in this book. 

The men slowly reconnect and definitely enjoy their time together. But they both know something is missing, keeping them from wanting more. 

And then they meet Rachael. Woah. Cue the sexual tension. The chemistry is off the charts. And the three are wonderful together. 

I love this story. The characters all truly complete one another. The bond of their relationship is solid and their chemistry is off the charts. And damn, the communication between all of them is stellar. You definitely don't need to worry about misunderstandings with these three. 

The one thing I didn't love though is the missed on-page first dp scene. Omg, I wanted that so badly and was shocked it was off the page. That was disappointing. 

But everything else is fabulous. 

They face some narrow minded townsfolk, but damn, most of this small town is supportive and truly wonderful. 

The writing style is great. Written in alternating povs, we get to know each character well. But, hot damn, it's the sex that's the big draw here. Let's be honest, MMF menages are hot, and the author never lets us down. 

Three Shots is a must read to any fans of MMF romances.  Brigham Vaughn definitely delights in this poly romance. It's hot. It's sweet. And it's well worth a read when you're in the mood for some spicy fun.

Do no harm. It’s a mantra former Delta Force Team Panther medic, Griffin St. Clare, follows to the letter—until someone comes after his family. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep them safe, even if it puts his own life on the line. Grif knows the only way he can fix things, including his own broken heart, is to find his man, bring him home, and open himself to love again, but getting his family back together is going to be a challenge—especially considering his guy is AWOL.

Garrett ‘Rock’ Rockwell is used to dealing with trouble, but betrayal is another matter. After the devastating blow Shar delivered, he thought he would never want another woman in his bed again, but Allie has awoken something in him he can’t explain. Rock loves Grif, but they both know something is missing from their life—a third. Is Allie the right person to fill the hole left behind, or is getting into something new with a teammate’s sister a bad idea?

Allie Kennedy has always loved her bosses. She regretted not taking a chance with them before, but now they are finally free, she is determined to help her two troubled warriors heal. Grif and Rock may have had their hearts hurt, but Allie will prove to them that bruised is not broken.

Their path has never been straight or perfect. Many times, it hasn’t even gone in the right direction, but can Grif and Rock open themselves up to loving more than each other once more? Can Allie get them to trust her enough to give them all one more shot at happily ever after, or will Grif and Rock refuse to see what has been right in front of them all along?

Review 

My Rating - 4.5 Stars!

Annabella Stone's Delta Force series continues with Grif's Salvation, the sixth book. 
 As I've come to expect from this author, the story is fast paced with non-stop action, and full of tension and heat.

The book is separated into different sections, each with a unique tone.

Grif and Rock have long wanted Allie to join their relationship, but things got in the way. Now, if they can survive their current danger, they want to claim her.

Their relationship is not at the forefront, as the action and trying to save one another is the main driving force. That said, the building of them as a throuple is wonderful, full of heart, forgiveness, and romance.

I absolutely love Allie's daughter , as she is just so darn adorable.

The author's writing style is consistent to the rest of her books. Each book is wonderful, building upon the next. In other words, the books need to be read in order. The characters are all complex and well developed, constantly evolving.

Grif's Salvation is a must read for any fans of the Delta Force series. It will not disappoint.
