Calling the Shots is the fourth and final book in Christine d'Abo's incredibly sensual Long Shots series. I have to say that after Sadie, Paige, and Ian's stories were told I really wasn't expecting another book in the series. After all, they are siblings and owners of Pulled Long which is the coffee shop the series has grown around. I'm so glad that Christine d'Abo decided to tell Josh's story.After meeting Josh in Double Shot, I was really intrigued by him. I felt bad that he was hung up on his best friend and was fascinated by his sex club, Mavericks. I wanted to know more about him. In my opinion, Josh was the most engaging character in the series and his book did not disappoint. Such a pleasant surprise Calling the Shots was.Holy frakkin hotness, Batman! I lurve me a good ménage and the chemistry between Josh, Beth, and Oliver was off the charts. Mmmm Oliver. He was the only new character introduced in the series as Beth was once an employee at Pulled Long before she starting working for Josh. Oliver is smokin' hot, heavily tattooed, and works as a bartender at Mavericks. He has loved and lost, had his heart broken, and finds himself incredibly confused by his desire for both Beth and Josh. Oliver has never been attracted to a man before and doesn't know how to respond to Josh and Beth's flirtation.All three of the characters in Calling the Shots have emotional baggage and don't know how to put it behind them. Until they were able to open up to one another, their relationship was doomed. Throw in a psychopath vandalizing the local adult clubs and you have suspense elements thrown in along with incredibly hot smex. Believe me when I say that the sex scenes are scorching in this book.I love that Christine d'Abo has explored different kinks in each of these books and that there really is a little something there to satisfy everyone's taste. This is a m/m/f ménage and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Calling the Shots was hands down my favorite book in the series.*ARC PROVIDED BY NETGALLEY*
