OMG I have to say that I felt like I waited for a longtime to get this book because I fell in love with Emily, Xavier, and James right from Prevade London. I mean they absolutely took my breath away and had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next and it did not disappoint.
In Prevade Montego Bay we get such an emotional read. Emily has finished her music school so James invites her to him home land and she agrees because she misses her lovers both James and Xavier. So she jumps at the chance to be reunited with them. When she gets there she is so excited to see her lovers and start back where they left off. Only this time she sees that James is a little off. She knows this is his home land and she knows something is wrong so she decides she is going to uncover what is wrong and when she does lord have mercy you have to read the book to find put because you won’t believe what secret he is hiding.
The perfect trifecta
A captivating romance that takes the reader from the streets of London to the beaches of Montego Bay. An emotional romance filled with mystery and suspense that is as erotic as it is heartbreaking.
Three hearts bound together
Each complementing the other
Emily with her open curiosity and her unending naivety
Xavier with his analytic mind calculating manipulating the odds ensuring the outcome was in his favor
And James ever the protector the dominant guiding hand
Fewings outdid herself with Pervade. She takes us back to the beginning. To the events that originally placed Xavier on James’ radar. These two took up a special place in my heart. Their relationship is, IDK, I almost want to say pure but it so much more. They fit.
James is much more prominent in this second book. We get to see him – the real him. The pain he hides, the guilt he has buried himself under.
I was captivated by this cast, I admit it was hard saying goodbye.

The Review:
ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! Hands down, a must-read. Brilliant writing, sexy as sin characters you can’t help but adore and a story to really sink your teeth into! So, so good. I’m already itching for a reread.
As always, Vanessa Fewings is at the top of her game, and this book just proves once again how amazingly talented she is. Pervade Montego Bay is book two in the Pervade Duet, and picks up about a week after the exciting and titillating events of book one. In this second half, the author takes the reader on a sensual journey as Emily, James, and Xavier reconnect on the scenic coast of Jamaica, and their sultry romance continues.
I loved every moment of this book!!
Story/Characters…
Three people. A new location. A forbidden romance that shouldn’t have worked for many different reasons. A superbly told story of love conquering pride, secrets, and fear.
“What has once seemed unimaginable has morphed into reality – a ménage à trois that saw three opposite melding together exquisitely in a passionate love affair.”
At the end of book one, Emily received an intriguing invitation. So packing her bags, she traverses across the seas, thinking she’s going to reunite with her two loves. When she arrives in Montego Bay, the house is luxurious, the view spectacular, but things don’t go the way she thought they would. Xavier is missing and James has a plan to use Emily as bait to bring him back into the fold of Pervade.
WOW! Right from the start, we get more insight into James, his mindset and his motives. Light is shed on his darkness, and exposed is the inner workings of a lonely man. It almost feels like we get two stories in one because the author expertly takes us back to the day James and Xavier meet. They have an amazing, adrenaline-fueled introduction as they carry out their mission that quickly turns deadly. Their attraction is instant but they are surrounded by enemies. When the dust settles, and they both decide to go to war in order to survive, I literally got goosebumps. It was such a defining beginning for them.
Now knowing and understanding James’ past, there’s a reason Xavier and Emily are such bright lights for him. His pain and despair were heartrending. I loved getting to know him better.
James’ desires only intensify with Emily near, and what might have seemed like a devious plan to get what he wants, breaks down when confronted with her sincerity and beauty. She completely barrels through his long-standing walls. And oh my! When Xavier returns, the flames that were ignited between James and Emily become a raging inferno as their passion and love set the whole book alight. The chemistry between these three was undeniable. Their scenes together, full of fervor and affection but most importantly, there’s a story with heart championing their love.
Emily and Xavier and especially James are such enigmatic, complex and layered characters. I loved getting to know them more and watching James succumb to the love he felt for Emily and Xavier was so much fun. For such a strong and brave character, he fears what kind of dynamic he would bring to their lives. As the layers were peeled back from him, my heart broke and was healed all at the same time.
And the intrigue. There’s a secret looming in the background and a new character introduced. The author does an impressive job giving us hints as Emily starts a search to uncover what’s not being told. But I can honestly say, I didn’t see it coming and it was AWESOME! I loved that small addition to the plot.
I have to mention that ending and epilogue because it gave me all the feels! It. Was. Flawless!
The Wrap Up:
There is passion, a little bit of mystery, a whole lot of discovery and a beautiful love story. Combined with masterful writing, fascinating characters and settings that will captivate you, Pervade London and Pervade Montego Bay are perfect binge reads.
James, Emily, and Xavier will stay with me for a long time to come.
Captivating, enthralling, mysterious , adventure beyond your wildest dreams with relentless desire and romance !
We are once again on a journey with Emily, Xaviar and James . I hope that you are ready for an adventure filled with romance, intrigue, relentless desire, mystery and adventure ! Theirr story is enthralling, captivating and has so many twists and turns you will be left amazed by Vanessa’s way with words and her beautifully written characters ! I absolutley loved it and may I say that I was intrigued and speechless right to the end!

Dark. Sexy. Sensual. Dangerous. Intriguing. Fantastic.
All that we had read in part one of this duet has nothing on the things that come out in part two. Sharp. Sexy. Sinful. Sensual. Delicious. Dark. Dangerous. Enticing. Intriguing. Alluring.
You must have read part one to get the full all encompassing picture of what will be laid on you in part two. You will need all you wits and every moment of being aware of all that comes out and all that happens. We maybe in a new exotic, beautiful location, but we still get the same three sexy characters. Each of which will pull at you in different ways.
The layers of the story gets deeper with the origins of Xavier and James. We learn so much and begin to understand just as much if not more of what makes James, Xavier, and Emily work. We are given more to love about them as individuals and as a cohesive unit.
For me there was more to the romance between them than the sex and the scenes that were carried out. It was like the pages were living vivid images of them all. The chemistry you could feel. The sorrow. The pain. The loneliness. The story alone was all that I could want in a read that would engage me, satisfy me, intrigue me, fulfill me. I loved it from the beginning to the end.
Vanessa Fewings did one heck of a job with the writing of such intense, intriguing, alluring characters. She provided layers, depths, and a realism to them. There was no one dimension going on here. The story on its own was wonderful. The ending was not a disappointment. But I can’t help but to want more.
In the first few chapters, I was already ready to crash tackle James and beat the cr*p out of him. His cold and unfeeling actions were cruel and harsh. However, the journey through the past gives us a glimpse into what shaped James and why he is so determined to distance himself away from those who love him. In a way, he feels undeserving of love and I feel for him. I began to better understand James and why his hard exterior was appearing all the time. I did want to wrap him in a blanket and cuddle him tight.
Xavier is still the hot and compassionate man I loved from the start. He can be quite playful too. And he is very perceptive. He knows James better than anyone and he is about the only one who can get through to him. Xavier is incredibly thoughtful and would do anything for both James and Emily. It makes your heart melt.
Emily is like Nancy Drew, trying to unravel the puzzle that is James Ballad. She is determined to break through that icy barrier he has erected and have him embrace the gift they have been given. I love her fight and fortitude in making sure what they found isn’t lost. But she isn’t the only one trying to uncover secrets. Someone is also determined to found out what James is hiding…
The three of them together is so wonderful. It’s not just about the sexual chemistry but the love that bonds them together. Each of them brings something to the relationship. They bring out the best in each other and help ease the sorrow that once lingered in their lives.
This duet has been a fantastic journey that shows the power of love and how it can heal pain and loss. With such complex and multilayered characters, the story was enriched with their playful, stubborn and heartfelt interactions. Xavier, James and Emily are unforgettable characters that continue to linger in your mind long after the final page is read. I’m sad to see the end of the duet but hope we might get a little more of them somehow.
After anxiously awaiting this second book in the Pervade Duet, I was ecstatic to get this gem in my sweaty palms! And Vanessa did us good! I loved Montego Bay, and just like Jamaica is a world away from London, this book takes a slightly different turn than the first. It delves more into the minds and hearts of our trio, mainly James, our closed off, secretive enigma. We find out what has shaped him into the man he is today and about how Pervade was formed. But there are still secrets he is unwilling to share and he insists on protecting those he loves. Even at the cost of his own happiness.
The love James, Xavier, and Emily have for each other is so amazing and so rare. I love the alternate POVs, it gave me hope when things were looking bleak. The Paradise they find themselves in is conducive to love and Emily’s strength is her tenacity. She fights hard for them. Their “Us” is tantamount to breathing, something they must have.
I loved this conclusion to this wonderful Duet! The ending was perfect and the epilogue was epic! I will be rereading these books over and over again! Definitely would give more than Five Stars if I could!!
Mystery. Intrigue. Passion and lust. Betrayal and heartbreak. Love and forgiveness.
The follow up to this trio of people is filled with all the feelings, emotions and richness of the first book. We see deeper into James’ soul, fall more in love with Xavier, and discover more of the richness of Em’s love and determination for her “two boys”. The three adults are explosive together.
An awesome, erotic read. Highly recommend!
I have been waiting for this book and it certainly did not disappoint at all. I was so curious to see if Emily, Xavier and James could find a way to make their unconventional relationship work and you will have to read to find out the answer, but I promise it is worth it. There is love and heartbreak, forgiveness and hope. Questions are answered, new questions arise but in the end all is revealed. I look forward to reading more books by this author in the future
The Pervade duet was my first introduction to Ms. Fewings writing, and I have to say, she has me hooked. This set held my interest, had me wanting to know more and more about the characters, and turning page after page. There was so much to these novels, and the second was as good, if not better than first! I cannot wait to read more by this author. This is a definite, must read!
Pervade Montego Bay is book two in the Pervade Duet by Vanessa Fewings. I fell in love with these three characters in the first book, Pervade London and have been waiting not so patiently for the rest of their story. It was most definitely worth the wait!
Emily Rampling has graduated from the music academy and has received an invitation to James’s home in Montego Bay. Being reunited with the two men she has so desperately fallen in love with is her dream come true. She can’t get there fast enough.
Montego Bay is where James Ballad was born. His home, Royal Court Manor, is his refuge. His home, this island, holds all of his most cherished memories, and all of his deepest secrets. It’s only fitting that this be the place for their reunion, the two people that mean everything to him. And also the place where he will do what he knows he must do.
“Fate had thrown us together as powerfully as one of this island’s storms.”
As Xavier, James and Emily are reunited, passions are reignited. There is no way these three can be anywhere near each other without the need they share consuming them. At the same time, Emily becomes aware that there is something James is hiding. A secret she can’t rest until she discovers.
I loved every minute of this book. So much of James is revealed within these pages. We learn his past, understand his pain, and find out the history he shares with Xavier, how they began.
This is a true love story, of dedication to their cause, and to each other. A story of sacrifice, pain and love. Of forgiveness and redemption and hope as these three navigate their paths. I love them all and I hope you do too.
“Xavier would always be the light in my world, but James was my darkness.”
Pervade Montego Bay by Vanessa Fewings was an explosive, sensual and scintillating story. It had layers of secrets and mysteries. It has electrifying, sinful and seductive chemistry. My heart is pounding. My head is reeling. I am breathless, hypnotized and paralyzed by gripping storyline, emotional torture and brilliant writing.
Emily has reached Montego Bay, Jamaica on invitation of two men who has invaded her life and possessed her. James and Xavier are both powerful and intriguing men. And they both need her and she needs them. But so much more is at stake than their relations. World politics. Secret services. Military missions. The dark web of power plays and mind games that has captured them all. And it will take everything out of them to face it. The first story left me with millions of questions. And the author did a stunning job of tying the loose ends and presenting it to me with a little bow in top.
A significant part of this story is about the dynamics between Xavier and James. The author took us back to the time when their deep, intense and soul deep connection was conceived. Beyond the forbidden and explosive physical attraction, they need each other to survive. And Emily is the glue holding them together after they broke each other’s heart into tiny pieces. My heart is breaking for James. He is such an enigma. Strong. Determined. Stubborn. Dominating. Fearless. Vulnerable. Selfless. Shattered. And the combination is oddly attractive. He is punishing himself and pushing everyone away to protect them. But Xavier won’t let him go. This wicked, fiery and twisted relationship was so brilliantly executed. The dilemma. The push and pull. The sweet and sexy reunion. The angsty heartbreaking turns. Add the twists and jaw dropping revelations those never stopped coming. And you have the perfect story to break you, own you and win you.
My heart was a puppet and Vanessa Fewings had the strings in her skilled and devious hands. She created this complex, mindblowing and captivating story with her extraordinary writing. My heart was pulled in every delicious direction and pushed to the point of beautiful insanity. A must read of 2019.
Received ARC for Honest review
I do get so excited for Vanessa Fewings’ books. Pervade Montego Bay couldn’t have come soon enough. In this conclusion of the Pervade Duet, it is just as intriguing, suspenseful and steamy as the first book. The story continues with Emily, Xavier and James. Everyone has secrets and we will soon learn the answers. It’s definitely a page turner and well worth the read.
Review copy was received for a honest opinion.
Pervade Montego Bay is amazing and very sexy.
James Ballad, you’re drawn to his power, but you develop this love hate relationship with his character.I adore his charcter the most.Emily loves Xavier first and later grows to love James.This the last book is saga.I want more books with this charlene.When I started reading I couldn’t put it down. Vanessa Fewings is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can’t wait for the next book.
This was an incredible book. Vanessa Fewings has the ability to make the reader feel every emotion that the characters are experiencing and throughout this book the overwhelming feeling was passion. I don’t think I have ever felt such passion through the pages of a book before and I didn’t want it to end. The story of what brought James and Xavier to this point was fascinating and a little melancholy and the introduction of Louis was an interesting twist. This is a book not to be missed and if you loved Pervade London you will swoon over Montego Bay!
Pervade Montego Bay
Pervade Duet, Book 2
By: Vanessa Fewings
Narrated by: Shane East, Will Watt, Lucy Rivers
When Emily is invited to Montego Bay, she is happy to go to see her men. But when James is there alone and giving her the cold shoulder, she doesn’t know what to expect. Fewings picks up where we left off in the first book of this series, but lets us in on a few of the secrets. The first and most important to me is getting to know James and Xavier(Xander) better. Their meeting and friendship is integral to this threesome. Thrilling suspense is set in with budding romance and their story is incredibly moving. But where does it leave us with the three of them? There are still secrets that need to be revealed and only James can let them out and let them find their happiness. With his painful past, is he willing? This book is so worth the listen. Again, Fewings had me entranced and loving every minute of their story. Her writing is smart and steamy, the best kind of listen.
Now what could make this book even better? Add in Will Watt and Shane East to the narration with Lucy Rivers.This trio was incredible. East brings James to life with his cold bravado, letting us feel his pain while also feeling his love. Watt as Xavier is the perfect casting. This man can find the essence of Xavier, and bring out his genius tendencies and his vulnerable and loving sides. And Rivers is just incredible as Emily. A better cast could not have been chosen.

After graduating from the music academy, Emily receives an invitation to James’s home in Montego Bay. Thinking she’s going to reunite with Xavier and James, she excitedly packs her bags and goes. When she gets to Royal Court Manor, James’s home, she finds out that Xavier is missing and James invited her over to use her as a bait to lure Xavier back.
A lot is revealed about James in this book—how he met Xavier, how Pervade was formed, and how he got Kitty to work for him.
I LOVED every minute of this book! The ending is such a satisfying conclusion to this fantastic duet. Louis is one interesting twist I didn’t see coming.
Narrators Shane East, Will Watt, and Lucy Rivers all performed beautifully.
Pervade Montego Bay is a contemporary ménage romance written and performed in triple first-person narrative. It’s the second book in a duet and it ends with a HEA. No cliffhanger, no cheating.
I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.
This is the second book in the Pervade Duet. The conclusion is complex, intense, intriguing, steamy, and captivating. Emily, James and Xavier are great and intriguing characters. They share a sizzling chemistry. I loved it, even more than the first book. Lucy Rivers, Shane East and Will Watt did an outstanding job with the narration. This is an amazing team author/narrators!
This was even better than the first book. We get more of this trio but get to see more into what makes James tick. There’s more mystery, excitement, passion, and much more. I listened to the audio book and I swear, I couldn’t stop listening. The narrators do such a great job of bringing these characters to life. It was so much better having both the female and male voices and they did a phenomenal job.
I loved this story! I read the first book and listened to the audio for book 2. The love, the hotness, the protectiveness between Emily, Xavier, and James kept me listening. I was glad for the happy ending. Shane East, Will Watt, and Lucy Rivers brought the story alive for me. I enjoyed the different voices and knew whose point of view we were in. I highly recommend this duet, whether on page or by audio. The steam level is high so beware.
