★Keeping two lovers in sync is hard enough. Three is incredibly complicated.★
Jaxson, Chase, and Emma may have officially bit off more than they can chew. Already running two wildly successful clubs in Washington D.C., they decide to expand, opening Runway West and Black Light West in luxurious Beverly Hills, California. But there is no relaxing for the infamous threesome. With construction … infamous threesome. With construction deadlines looming, staffing decisions to make, and multiple outsiders hitting on her men, Emma feels pressured into keeping a dangerous secret from them–breaking the number one rule of their unique relationship.
Can Jaxson, Chase, and Emma’s complicated love survive all that life is throwing at them, or will the pull of outside influences cause it to fall apart forever?
Author’s Note: Complicated Love takes place in the Black Light world and while the characters have appeared in previous books, it can be read as a standalone and complete story.

This one is full of lots of angst and I really enjoyed it! I would definitely recommend it!
What a wonderful fantastic story. From page one you are hooked. I cannot tell you much without spoiling it for you. You will fall in love with Jaxson, Emma and Chase like I did. A must read. Enjoy.
I love Jax, Chase, and Emma. I love their continuing story, I could feel how much they love each other, it just jumps off the pages. Lots of drama with the opening of the new clubs and the changes with their family. Lots of hot hot steamy sex scenes. It’s the love that makes this a great book.
My cup runneth over!
This book has been anxiously awaited, many theories have been put forth as to what’s going on with Emma, Jaxson and Chase.
I’ll say this much, some have been right, some have been wrong!
As for my own opinion, have hankies ready for some parts and a stress ball for others. Choose a day when you have the time to fish the book in one go, because you wont want to put it down!
This has been worth waiting for!
I feel like I waited forever for this book, but I am so glad that I finally got to read it. MMF and BDSM are two of my favorite sub-genres in romance, that doesn’t mean that I read and enjoy all the books, it takes a lot to impress me and keep me reading. Livia has done that. When I first read Emma, Chase and Jaxon they captured my heart, this continuation of their story had all those feelings resurfacing. Livia is a newer author in my TBR pile but I cannot wait to add another book
It’s no secret that I love to read menage. I don’t know what it is, but it always has my undivided attention. Not only is there suspense, some thrill or something going on with the trio(s), but I usually find that the love scenes are rather enticing.
Livia Grant is a new author to me. I see and have read some great reviews on her other books, that I was intrigued when I saw the cover to Complicated Love. A hot trio! Definitely up my alley and knew that I was not going to be disappointed.
Emma, Chase and Jax are one sexy trio. While they all have been extremely overworked due to their new club opening in the West Coast, they obviously have been neglecting one another due to the stress and the tiredness involved with this project. When Emma goes missing, the two hot studs get scared and start thinking the unimaginable.
Emma has a secret that she thinks will either make them or break them. She doesn’t know how to come clean with her men and she fears that the guys will eventually leave her for a more thin model material woman since she’s all curvaceous and all. But it seems like these guys love their girl no matter how she looks.
But Emma is also afraid that there are obstacles in their way and fears that she might lose her men.
While I think the sex scenes were rather mild for what I’m used to with menage, it still did not deter me from reading it. The storyline itself had me completely focused on solely the book and nothing else.
These characters are definitely lovable. Chase and Jax were not only hot but I loved how attentive they were with Emma, like she’s their whole world and any woman wants to feel that way by their man or men right!
This continuing story of Jaxon, Chase and Emma draws you in and is so well written you won’t want to leave the book until you’re done.
Writing menage sex scenes takes a fertile imagination but to write not just three lovers living together but also living the BDSM lifestyle 24/7 requires ingenuity and inventiveness and Livia Grant delivers.
If you are looking for a great love story with lots of hot action and tender romance you will want to read this one.
Follow up to Infamous Love the Black Light series prequel. Can be read and enjoyed as stand-alone, but so much better reconnecting to the characters I have loved in this series. Told in multiple POV with HEA. I loved this book, and I have loved all of the Black Light series books. This is about a MMF couple and does contain MF, MM, MFM, MMF as well as some BDSM D/s. They are in a committed relationship with no cheating. Jaxson, Chase, and Emma are opening a few new clubs in California and are under strict deadlines which makes their lives quite full and that leaves little time for communication. Secrets are kept and stress is high before they realize they need to focus more on what is most important, their family. I can not wait to read more in this series!!
I couldn’t wait for more of my favorite trio Jaxson,Chase, and Emma. They had me worried for them at first, but then my heart grew with more love for them. Jaxson with his romantic Dom heart had me smiling and crying at the same time. Chase and his compassion that showed when his Dom came out to play to help settle his Dom had my heart beating fast. Emma last but not least the strong, sweet, loving submissive that had me aggravated , but then proud when she stood up for herself and her Doms. I laughed , cried, loved, and told a few off in my head while reading this one. I loved seeing more of these three and their friends. I can’t wait to get to meet more of their new friends from Cali. This was a great start off for a whole new set of Black Light adventures.
This book was a gut wrenching emotional maelstrom of fear, secrets, anger, jealousy, and love – especially love.
Without giving away any spoilers, I need to say that this story threw me into an emotional upheaval. I could empathize with each character and all they were feeling (even Emma’s father). And then, after some particularly soul rending tension, this talented writer inserted a tiny dash of humor, followed by some embarrassingly naughty sexual play. And then more play, until I was skillfully transported into another kind of upheaval that felt way more delicious.
It was fascinating for me to learn that a Dom can feel vulnerable and scared and out of control. It made Jaxson and his relationship with Chase and Emma even more real. I love the way Jax was able to relinquish control in some areas while definitely retaining it in others. I was captivated by the way Chase was able to utilize his “switch” personality to keep everyone on an even keel. And, I admire the way Emma was able to make her father truly appreciate how happy and content she was as a submissive, without actually using that term.
Livia Grant just has me in awe of her ability to pull my emotions totally into this unique story of three individuals who support, complete and love each other with a commitment that is astounding.
I have been so excited to read this book and to get back to Jaxson, Chase and Emma and I am happy to report it was worth the wait.
I loved every word of this story and I was trying really hard not to skip to the end of the book to see what would happen to our trio. I managed– just.
What can I say about this book without giving say any spoilers. It is an emotional read and tensing are running high. The trio battle with insecurities, secrets and a lot of stress. There are also plenty of sweet, steamy and happy moments and you will be cheering them on. It also made me laugh. It is wonderful to see what happens to characters a few years down the road.
And it was great to see some familiar faces from the previous books make an appearance and there are some new faces. .
it was an amazing read and I didn’t want the book to end. I wanted more.
Black Light, Book 8. When Emma’s blindsided, can the complicated love she shares with Jax and Chase survive?
SPOILER ALERT: WHILE MOST OF THE BLACK LIGHT BOOKS ARE STANDALONES, COMPLICATED LOVE IS THE SEQUEL TO INFAMOUS LOVE, THE FIRST BOOK IN THIS SERIES. IF YOU HAVEN’T READ INFAMOUS LOVE, THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS.
What were they thinking? Jaxson, Chase, and Emma have it all. Former runway models, Jax and Chase are devastatingly handsome. Jax is the dominant, Chase the switch. Both dominate the beautiful, brilliant, and submissive Emma. It’s a match seemingly made in BDSM heaven. Owning Runway and Black Light has never made their lives easy. So why are they opening Runway and Black Light West on an insane timetable that has all three stressed to the breaking point? D.C. has its own challenges but L.A.? Emma’s never felt more out of place. The triad has always held each other’s complete love and trust. Emma’s no green-eyed, jealous lover. But with gorgeous women and men throwing themselves at both Jax and Chase’s feet, she no longer feels secure. And she’s hiding something…a very BIG something. Not telling her Doms breaks every rule holding their extraordinary relationship together. What could possibly frighten Emma so much she can’t tell the two men who love her more than life itself? After months of stress over the new clubs, conspiracies swirling around them, paparazzi and the press hounding them, and the constant fear of losing Chase and Jax, Emma’s secret finally explodes…and it’s enough to shake the triad’s world to its foundations! Can there be any way to fix this? Or is this truly the end of their precious, beautiful, complicated love?
OMG! I have waited for this book since I finished Infamous Love, and Livia Grant DOES NOT DISAPPOINT! This is one of the most beautiful, intricately crafted, emotional stories I’ve ever read. This is no exaggeration. All Ms. Grant’s books are incredibly detailed, character-driven, and well-written. But I’m not sure I have the words to describe how perfect this story is. I’ve adored Jax, Chase, and Emma from the moment I met them in Infamous Love. After reading Complicated Love? I’m more in love with them than ever. But this book is so much more than a mere continuation of their story. Livia Grant is an artiste extraordinaire. Every book she’s written proves that fact. Jax, Chase, and Emma obviously take center stage. But it’s the wealth of lovingly created supporting characters and her breathtaking words that transform this book into an enchanting, no-holds-barred, laugh-until-you-cry, cry-until-you-laugh roller coaster of emotion. I had the highest of expectations for this book. Ms. Grant blew those expectations out of the water! Congratulations, Ms. Grant! Your writing has never been better! Complicated Love deserves every star in the heavens!
A final note. This is an ADULT book. It contains explicit language and BDSM sexual scenes. If you don’t enjoy this genre, this may not be the book for you. There are book synopses and reviews available on Goodreads and Amazon. Use these resources. DON’T LEAVE A NEGATIVE REVIEW WHEN YOU KNOW YOU WON’T ENJOY THE BOOK. It’s not fair to the author. She works hard to provide a quality work product. If you know you’ll object to a book’s subject matter before you buy it, you’re doing yourself and the author an extreme disservice.
Thanks for reading my review and happy reading!
