Triple Threat (Deception Duet)
Z**I
Treble the steam!
Landry is my favourite. She’s running away from them yet she finds herself drawn towards them. This makes me smile because their connection in more ways than one is inevitable.Ah the trebles and Landry. I love this story and I love that these three have caught Landry too. Their interactions and their choices individually as well as jointly make this book so much more hotter and angsty too.I love that they all have an individual mission and yet it all becomes one mission. I need the next book now. Please. Thanks.

The second part of this duet can’t come soon enough for me.
Loved these three bad boys!Landry can’t see an end to the nightmare she and her sister are living…Sparrow, Sully and Scout want to be free of the hold their uncle has over them. Completing this job could be the key to their freedom…The title alone had me dying to read this book. Not just one threat, but a TRIPLE THREAT. This story had me captivated from start to finish. I didn’t even want to blink in case I missed something. SO GOOD!

Deception, desperation and obsession
POV: First person / MultipleGenre: Contemporary Romance / Dark Romance / Reverse Harem (ish) / Anti-HeroesTriple Threat was quite unlike anything else I’ve read, the story revolves around the Mannford triplets, Scout, Sully and Sparrow, who are the nephews of Bryant Morelli, and Landry Croft.Landry is the daughter of a powerful tech mogul, Alexander Croft, who intends to arrange a marriage between Landry and a member of the Constantine family so that his company, Croft Gaming & Entertainment, grows to global proportions.Enter the Terror Triplets: Scout, Sully and Sparrow. The triplets hate the Constantine family and will do anything to publicly humiliate them. So in an effort to do just that, Bryant Morelli enlists the trio of identical brothers to dig up dirt on the Croft family, and the key to that dirt, Landry.Triple Threat follows Landry from target to obsession.Landry comes from a rich family, yet lives in constant terror that comes from living with her abusive father. She craves escape yet stays for her younger sister Della. Della is six years old, and was born deaf, her deafness and the fact that her mother died as a result of her birth means that she is often the target of her father’s wrath.Landry is sheltered, seemingly innocent, and has never been close to anyone, yet she is drawn to her new, dark and dangerous classmate, Ford Mann (get it Ford Mann - Mannford triplets). Ford is everywhere, but at times it seems like he has a split personality… sometimes he feels like three different people.The characters were so well written, my heart broke for Landry and Della, then we had Scout, Sully and Sparrow; each triplet had such similar underlying character traits yet they were equally so vastly different, kudos to K Webster for being able to do this in such a fantastic way.Triple Threat drew me in, the plot was so good, so unique and clever. It was a tad complex with four main points but for me that only added to the captivating charm of this book. There was humour, some steam, deception, desperation and obsession. The twists just kept coming, then there was a cliffhanger that just had me craving the next book!Note: Triple Threat is part of the Dangerous Press World - you don’t need to read the whole ‘world’, in essence you just need to know that the Morelli’s and Constantine’s hate each other, but every Dangerous Press World book I’ve read has been excellent so I’d recommend giving them a go.4.5⭐️

A plot worthy of a period melodrama
The book is the story of Landry, a friendless princess with a dark family secret. It’s also the tale of Ford Mann, a guy Landry meets at college and who later turns out to be Landry’s sister’s speech reading tutor. To the backdrop of the abuse Landry suffers at home, the two begin to fall for each other. Only Ford isn’t just a guy – he’s three – the Mannford Triplets. Through a series of loose connections, the triplets’ uncle has tasked them with uncovering the means to bring down as possible business partner of Landry’s father. Trust me when I say that this is a plot worthy of a period melodrama.After meeting for the second time, Landry knows there’s something up with Ford. Her encounters switch between Sparrow and Sully’s versions of Ford, but it’s not until she meets Scout’s version that she comes up with a likely explanation: multiple personalities. I can’t fault her logic with that one. I don’t personally know of any triplets, so the idea that I could be fooled by a set is completely incomprehensible.While I really liked each of the triplets individually, as a group they annoyed me. They were incapable of sharing information or communicating properly with each other and so competitive for Landry’s affections that it was a wonder they made it to the end of the book without her discovering their secrets. It’s not like they didn’t have experience to learn from either – they had played this game before. Although they were assigned their roles, the trio never really came up with a plan to make the whole endeavour work.I’m in two minds as to how I feel about Landry as a character. On one hand, she’s incredibly strong to have endured her father’s abuse for so long, all the while protecting her younger sister. On the other, I really dislike her method of capitulation to maintain peace while never trying to escape their hell. For a girl so strong she seems far too accepting of her situation; there’s no fight in her. Even once she meets Ford she doesn’t explore the possibility of escape enough to make it a reality.Despite the story having three male leads, it isn’t a reverse harem, in the sense that you can’t see whether all three will get with Landry in the end, or just one will come out on top. Maybe none of them will. Then there’s the added complication of Ty Constantine, the man Landry’s father wants to see her date. I’m pretty sure none of the triplets would want to share Landry with him!The story reads at a good pace for the most part and once you hit the 80% mark it’s full throttle. Suddenly everything happens at once and you know you’re racing to the edge of a very large cliff that you’re not going to be able to stop from falling over. Damn! What a cliffhanger that was. I’m not sure how Webster is going to move toward the second book with that one, but I’m excited to see it and somehow know that it’s gonna be great.WHY YOU SHOULD READ TRIPLE THREAT* Three different types of steam* The whiplash is so much fun* Multifaceted plot (yet even I could keep track of everything that was going on)
