Rome
We never play by the rules. In life, in music, or in bed. Rules are for those who give a f#ck what other people think. The only opinions we care about are our own.
We love each other like brothers, only closer. We’re each other’s biggest support and greatest rival, and we give each other everything. In life, in music, and in bed.
We’re the family we chose, not the one we were born … everything. In life, in music, and in bed.
We’re the family we chose, not the one we were born with. Our bond is stronger than blood.
No woman has ever been a source of strain on our relationship.
Until we meet Quincy.
With her, something feels different.
We’re different.
She’s the piece of the puzzle we never even realized was missing.
But the friction she causes between us is like nothing we’ve ever felt toward each other, and it’s threatening to tear us apart.
I had her first. She wants him more. Why do I need to make her mine?

They can make music together but can they make a life together also
Bowed is the second book in the Classical Badboys Duet that continues the story of Rome, King and Quincy. This book continues their intense, sensual and amazing story. But not all is rainbows and butterflies between the three not that they are together. The dynamic has shifted and tensions are heightened where they did not exist before. Rome and King are at odds over Quincy and she is having a hard time because of her love for both of them. Sometimes you just have to say scr3w convention and follow your heart. Once these three do that then things really become smokin’ hott.
I enjoyed this book as it took what was started in Plucked but add and expanded on it. This book is well written and each of the three characters have depth, emotion and pull you in.
Amazing!! I was hooked from the first page!! These characters just sucked me in! I’ve always been a fan of this authors work.
OMGOSH- this book caused me major stress – I’m just old school -I’m not cut out for Menage A Trois! The storyline is about Rome, Quincy and King. Rome is loves Quincy but she is in love with King. The music this trio makes is emotional and exciting but the emotional angst they have going on is tough to read. Quincy finds herself struggling because she does love 2 men and doesn’t know what to do. King and Rome have to figure out a solution. Lots,of emotions, lots of angst – a tough read for this old bird.

A fantastic ending to this duet. Loved every part of it. From the relationship dilemmas to the deep characters. Love how it evolved and how it ended. And of course the steamy scenes were amazing!!
When I started reading this story, I could not put it down. I read the book in one day. This author is an awesome writer. I can not wait to read more of their books. Keep up the great work. You should definitely read this book.
Love should mean never having to choose, love just is!

Love makes the world go round, and there is undoubtedly a lot of love going on in the book. Trying to live their lives, both personally and professionally, was hard for Rome, King, and Quinn. When Rome fell for Quinn, he knew his best friend felt the same way, and he loved Quinn and King too much to stand in their way—keeping his feelings a secret sent Rome on a downward spiral of sex, alcohol, and drugs. When he returned from Rehab, both Quinn and King insisted he move in with them both. This situation created a further strain on the relationship between the three of them. When the emotional turmoil finally exploded, Quinn never expected they would become a threesome. Both King and Rome loved her too much to hurt her by making her choose, and since she loved them both equally, why should she have to choose. I quickly became absorbed in this story. The emotional rollercoaster that the three lovers experienced should have destroyed the deep friendship between the two men. Instead, they put their doubts aside and discovered what a loving unit the three of them created. Love should mean never having to choose. Love is, and there cannot be too much love in the world.

Quincy, King and Rome are still battling. There is pressure to release a second album and tour while Rome is recovering. The story is told through the eyes of all 3 characters. You get a full perspective on how differently they view the situation at hand. There are times in the story that you just want to yell at the characters for being so blind to things. It was entertaining and serious. Truly enjoyed the read.

Let me start by saying that I’m quite a fan of MV Ellis’ writing. Bowed is the second installment in the Classical Bad Boys Duet and it picks up where the first book, Plucked, left off. This book falls firmly in the MFM category, which definitely makes and keeps things interesting between the characters. The fact that best friends (King and Rome) are in love with the same woman (Quincy) lays the foundation for so much drama and tension, which gives the story a multi-dimensional feeling and engages the reader that much more. Sometimes stories don’t have enough conflict or drama to hold the reader’s attention, but this story does not have that problem. Who knew a writer could make string instruments and the people that play them sexy? MV Ellis managed to do just that and so much more when she created this book series. The story’s twists and turns make me work to get to the coveted HEA, but I got a satisfying HEA in the end. I highly recommend Plucked and Bowed.
This is the conclusion to Quincy, King, and Rome. It’s angsty and at one point I felt frustrated with their decisions and miscommunications. I was screaming at them to figure it out. In the end it works out but it’s a wild ride before we even get there. Get ready!
I loved this trio so much. They all had this undeniable connection that no matter what, they were unable to break it.
To have to be in love with one of the guys but still feel something for the other must have been really hard for the heroine because when you feel such a strong attraction towards both and both of them are best friends, it’s just hard to have to settle for one when you have them both at your fingertips.
What I liked about this duet was the fact that it was different, the musicality was totally something unexpected and to have such delectable guys performing this type of music was such a turn on.
But even though these three had their ups and downs they seem to have settled their differences and made this scorching hot read one hell of a book!
Off-the-charts charisma & chemistry – perfect ending
—>>> Two best friends and the only woman they’ve ever wanted to keep between them. Off-the-charts charisma & chemistry is still ongoing between this trio, but for Rome, his more self-destructing vices are forced to a stop as King and Quincy make themselves his keepers during his detox under the same roof, their fears of barely having pulled Rome back from very-near death still utmost in their minds. But when a series of events lead to an inevitable build-up of a range of heartfelt emotions each still struggle to contain, it is only a matter of time before one of them activates the hair-trigger, and they can no longer deny what they feel.
Perfect ending for this duet of riveting musicians! Also loved Deone’s unwavering and hilarious support for her girl Quincy and the beautiful song Quincy wrote from her heart.
I am so thrilled with the ending of Bowed. Sorry had to get that out there. This book is so full of angst and emotion. They say that artist are so full of passion and it is so true of King, Rome, and Quinn that it is not even funny. As you can tell I loved Bowed. Kudos to M. V. Ellis for writing an splendidly well written book. I need to say this I didn’t get distracted not once with typos and other grammatical errors as I do with some others. I don’t want to ruin this book for anyone as to me it is a MUST read for everyone. The complete duet tells a story of how three musicians who have only music in common fall in love. It also explores how much trouble and anguish having three people be in love is. While the sex and their chemistry is off the charts that is only part of it. Maybe the best and arguably the simplest thing about three people being in love is. But outside of the bedroom, ok so they hardly make it to a bedroom , there is a lot of other things to consider. Mainly societies norms, jealousy, and expectations of each other’s rolls in their relationship are things that can get in the way. I will let you read this story and find out what happens and how it all ends. You will not be disappointed with King, Rome, and Quinn’s story. Hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.

BOWEDalicious!
A Steamy sexy thrill of excitement and emotions kept me engrossed and hungry to turn the pages and impossible to even think about putting it down. A sexy irresistible storyline that flowed at an amazing pace with exciting twists and swoon worthy chemistry. I didn’t just enjoy this read I lived to get to the end and was worth every suspense filled word.
Bowed, the epic ending to the Classical Badboy Duet hits all the right notes from start tot finish. King, Quincy and Rome’s MFM finale is deliciously steamy from start to finish with all the highs and lows of finding a HEA. I loved all the drama, feels and sizzling heat level that leaves me wanting more. A musical romance read that is a must one click today.
SCORCHING HOT FINALE!!
DAMN!!! This finale is so DAMN HOT!!! My kindle was smoking with the sizzling words on every page. There is so much emotion in this story (love, anger, frustration and passion) that will leave you swooning for these characters. They have this deep connection that is hard to deny.
“This is life. This is love. If we can’t be there for each other in these moments, when it’s not pretty, but it’s real then, we might as well not pretend to be there for each other at all. I’m your ride or die, you have to know that?…Well, if you don’t, I’m telling you now. I got you. I love you.”
This story picks up exactly where we left off with book 1. But things get heated. Rome and King get angrier and their interactions are always fraught with insecurities and doubt. When the three of them are in the same room things become intense and highly combustible. They are wound up so tightly that they are sure to explode.
With so much sizzling passion on each page it kept me completely enthralled, highly entertained and gushing with love.
Can the three of them find a way to make their unique relationship work before Rome does something they will all regret? You will need to read to find out!
This is a heated, highly emotional, soul searing story with an explosive ending that will leave you breathless and begging for more.
This duet is just so damn delicious. A must read. Highly recommend.
Quincy, King and Rome, a trio of musicians who are also in a situation full of angst and longing. King and Quincy are in a relationship and Rome is the third wheel forced by his contract to live with the couple who are monitoring his sobriety. Rome struggles daily with his addictions and his love and longing for Quincy along with the pressures of writing music. After Kings Maw maw has a stroke and he goes to Florida for a few days leaving Rome and Quincy have to go to an awards ceremony, sweeping all the awards and being around so much alcohol and drugs Rome feels overwhelmed and Quincy helps him by being a solace rock and holding his hand the entire time. Quincy and Rome then head to Florida to be with King while he grieves. The funeral is another test on Romes sobriety and cracking he grabs Quincy for support and kisses her. When it is witnessed by King he feels mixed emotions and accuses them of cheating (which didn’t happen). So, what happens next? Well…. its a journey of love and trust between 3 people who love each other, in deep friendship, in love, and a whole lot of hanky panky goin’ on! Mile High club anyone? Yes please! This book really surprised me, and I enjoyed it far more than I thought I would. I recommend reading book one in this duet before reading this one. I read them in reverse order but still enjoyed both of them immensely.

This story continues from Plucked and is truly an epic story. The relationship between King, Rome and Quincy is even hotter and steamier, guaranteed to make your panties melt right off of you! Though the trio will have to go through a lot of misunderstandings, angst, and a scandal, the emotions and conversations they have will make your heart melt, cause tears and be super happy when they reach their HEA!
