I didn’t expect to fall off the stage and land in the powerful arms of this gorgeous man. He’s a brutal warrior on the rugby field and a delicate artist with the cello, and the combination is irresistible. His music seduces. It inspires my dancing and demands my surrender.I gave up on my dream once, and I’ll need his help to resume the chase. And when we take the stage together, I’m willing to … together, I’m willing to give him everything. My submission. The dark secret I’ve been keeping. Even my tenuous heart.
But will he want any of it once he knows the truth?

I have been a huge fan of Nikki Sloane’s Blindfold Club series and was so excited that Tara was getting a book. This story was absolutely delicious and had the trademark Sloane Steam factor with an added emotional twist. I loved Tara and Grant and found them to be so sweet together!
Grant was different from the usual alphas Sloane has in that he had an endearing and almost sweet personality. He was just as rugged and sexy being a burly rugby player and was quite sexy. I loved that there were different facets to his personality based on being involved in rugby and journalism, namely his aggressiveness and dogged determination. He was a great match for Tara. I thought the elements of secrets between them gave an additional element of angst and tension that had me glued in
my seat.
All in all, this was a great addition to the series and I look forward to more from this author in the future. 4 stars! ~Ratula
This is a 5 Stars Guilty Pleasure Read!
Nikki Sloane beautifully delivers in the eighth instalment (Book 6) of the Blindfold Club series in Three Guilty Pleasures. The books can each be read as a standalone but many of the characters find their way onto the pages of each storyline. This is one of the reasons this series is such an irresistible read! I’ve been waiting for Tara’s book for a long time and the wait was certainly worth it!
The story follows Tara, one of the Blindfold Club members, and Grant a new Blindfold Club client. Like on any other night at the club a deal is brokered and the two begin their erotic interlude however, their encounter is atypical and cut short leaving both parties confused and bothered by the abrupt end.
The chemistry between Tara and Grant is sultry. Their exchange is unusual, with an itch that really needed to be scratched , and their encounter left the reader wondering how the hell are these two going to ever meet up again?!
Nikki Sloane delivers another amazing Blindfold Club book! There is more than meets the eye with Tara and Grant. Both characters are beautifully layered and provides depth to our two leads that goes beyond that one brief moment where Tara and Grant first met. Sloane really digs deep with the characters’ values, upbringing, passions, what deeply motivates them and what makes these two tick.
I LOVE HOW TARA AND GRANT MEET FOR A SECOND TIME!
All I have to say is KISMET. That’s what Tara and Grant’s meeting felt like… KISMET.
Why? The Club may have been their first meet, but it’s their life passions that brought them together for their second chance!
Well done Ms. Sloane, well done!
If you have read Nikki Sloane’s pervious books, you know this will be that beautiful red cherry on top of that sinfully delicious Ice Cream Sunday! And if you are new to the series, then you’ll want to devour this entire dessert, oops, I mean series in one sitting! No joke!
Eat your hearts out readers, your in for a real treat!

Is sex just for the sake of sex and enjoyment enough, or can love add a little bit more to your life? Three Guilty Pleasures tells the sweet and kinky story of Tara and Grant, who are trying to find out what works for them. This book totally lives up to my expectations I have for the Blindfold Club books, I love it.
“He didn’t seem to be breathing, which was interesting. I wasn’t breathing either—I’d forgotten how. The sight of him was that distracting. It was chaos around us, but I ignored it.”
Tara is a happy girl; she loves her demanding job as a ballet dancer, and her other job at the Blindfold Club. Her arrangement with her couple is working out like she hoped it would, but lately she’s thinking about more. To have more with a person then only sex, to have that special connection that involves love and all. Enter Grant; big hunk of a man, who’s very interested in Tara, and Tara in him. Grant is a newbie to the kink scene, but he and Tara have great chemistry.
“Tara. She drew me in. Her narrow waist, her long legs, her flat stomach, and the way she moved . . . I was in awe.”
I love Tara, she’s (sexual) confident and knows what she wants. She doesn’t care about what other people think about her life, and fully embraces her submissive side. Seeing her fall for Grant who doesn’t ‘belong’ to her scene is cute to see. She wants to tell him about all aspects of her life, but at the same time she’s afraid it will scare him off. Luckily for Tara, Grant is very open-minded and not afraid to try something totally new. I love them for each other.
Finally, a new ‘Blindfold Club’ story by Nikki Sloane! It has been a while since Mrs. Sloane wrote about the club, and Three Guilty Pleasures certainly doesn’t disappoint. Like the other books in the series, Tara and Grant’s story is sweet with a kinky side. (If you don’t want your romantic couple to engage in ménage, sharing or other group activities, these are not the books for you). The story is told in dual point of view, so you know what Tara and Grant are thinking and why they react a certain way. Since this is an ongoing series, couples from the previous books made an appearance as well, and boy, it was… interesting…
“I was Grant’s. Every piece of me, even the ones I’d tried to hide. He wanted them all, and I would give them, because he was mine.”

Trust Nikki Sloane to take me out of my reading comfort zone yet I thoroughly enjoy myself. For the longest time, I have avoided romance novels involving threesomes/ménage à trois–just plain not my cup of tea. Yet, here I am having just read Three Guilty Pleasures and absolutely enjoyed it.
If you’re not familiar with Nikki Sloane’s Blindfold Club series, all the books are connected stand-alones that revolve around the Blindfold Club, an exclusive high end brothel. Three Guilty Pleasures is the sixth book in the series–if you’re a long-time fan of the series, you’re going to get a kick of seeing quite a few of the previous couples/characters in this book as secondary characters playing significant roles. I have not read any of the other books in the series so I didn’t have the connection with these characters, but I liked them for what they brought to the story.
Now, I’m not suddenly gonna go out and get my hands on all the romance novels with threesomes/ménage à trois in them–I am still quite firm on the fact that they’re not my cup of tea. Three Guilty Pleasures (or maybe Ms. Sloane’s novels? I may have to pick up another book in the Blindfold series to decide) was most definitely an exception.
From my previous experience (before I ultimately DNF’d the book), whenever there’s some kind of threesome involved between the main couple and a third party, it more than likely evolves into some kind of emotional cheating and jealousy and the scenes are so sleazy and trashy that they make me want to take a shower after reading it. It’s not a good time.
I was so sure I was going to DNF Three Guilty Pleasures for its ménage elements alone, but imagine my surprise when I was riveted to Tara and Grant’s story and I couldn’t put the book down. IT WAS SOOOO GOOD!! For long-time fans of the series, I guess Tara have been around for a while because she’s connected to many of the other characters in previous books and Grant also appeared previously. I love Tara so much! She doesn’t go shouting it from the rooftops, but she was not ashamed of who she was and what she does and what makes her feel good. Grant wasn’t at her level of cool, but he was great too and together they were AMAZING, especially when they meld their talents together.
From the moment these two literally fell into each other, their chemistry was instantaneous and I was hooked. I loved the two of them together and it killed me because, unbeknownst to them, they were moving to the nail biting moment when s–t will hit fan and ultimately break my babies up.
It’s a given that every book in the Blindfold Club series will contain a ménage scene(s) and we get it here and we get it quite early. But, unlike my previous experiences with this dreaded trope, Ms. Sloane wrote it in to enhance the plot and/or the characters. The big scene in the end where there was a crowd of participants, we never lost sight of the main couple–despite what was happening and who was calling the shots, Tara and Grant remained at center stage and nothing felt cheap or sleazy.
My only complaint was that the ending felt rushed. I wanted an extended chapter of my babies just together and being happy. I also had questions in the end that didn’t get fully answered on the page–like, what is Tara’s future with the club? With Regan and Silas? Did she win the dance competition?
If you’re a fan of the Blindfold Club series, Three Guilty Pleasures is a MUST-read! If you’re new to the series like me or if you’re wanting to delve into ménage, Three Guilty Pleasures is a good place to start as any. If ménage is an absolute deal breaker for you, Nikki Sloane also wrote a delicious hate-to-love NA book called Rivalry that I highly recommend!
HO-LEE WOW!
The Blindfold Club series never disappoints and Nikki Sloane did NOT disappoint this time either! Grant and Tara’s journey was hot, erotic, and passionate! Like scorching hot, melt your panties off, passion!
Such a fantastic and unique storyline! I felt like I was living this amazing book ( and it had nothing to do with sharing a name with the heroine) right along with the characters! I was hooked and seriously couldn’t put it down! Full of passion and erotic moments, this book will leave you fanning yourself but falling head over heels in love with Grant and Tara! An absolute MUST READ!!
This is an absolutely terrific read. Tara and Grant easily pull you into their story and honestly I never wanted it to end. The passion is hot and the emotions intense as the storyline unfolds. The plot is fun and beautifully written. The characters are appealing and share sizzling chemistry. Sometimes every single aspect to a book is just right and it creates a “perfect storm” that will sweep the reader away, touch their heart and long after linger in the mind. This book is just that. Grab your copy and enjoy!!
One last turn with the Blindfold?
Three Guilty Pleasures is the sixth book in ‘The Blindfold Club’ series. It’s Tara and Grant’s story and while Tara has been here from the beginning with Evie and Logan’s story, Three Simple Rules, which coincidentally was my first book by Nikki and it was such a rush reading it, I immediately wanted more. Grant first appeared in Three Sweet Nothing as Ruby’s friend. He’s works in the media, a behind the scenes job for a TV station but he loves playing rugby almost as much as he does the cello. It’s his musical passion that brings him into the same space as Tara when he rescues her after a dangerous fall.
They hit it off immediately, and even though Tara doesn’t date in the conventional sense, part of her wants this type of intimacy with Grant. But, Tara is a submissive and has to ask permission of her Doms. Yes, she has two, a couple, Regan and Silas who are in a separate relationship of their own, and their story was Three Dirty Secrets. She is allowed… but there are rules she has to adhere to.
Grant likes nothing better than a challenge and it was amusing and hot to see what he did to circumvent each one. He falls for Tara more and more each time they are together. She needs his help with a dance routine and this is where they really meld with one another. Those scenes where so emotional drawn by Nikki’s hand I felt like I was in the audience watching them.This was a hot, steamy and angsty story. Grant faced a few problems caused by not coming clean about things he’d done prior to them meeting in the auditorium. But, with some help from others he’s about to show Tara just how good they are together.
Grant and Tara are scorching hot and have an amazing chemistry in Three Guilty Pleasures. It was a little difficult for me to fully invest in the story at the beginning because how unconventional Tara’s mind set is. But then I remember of the previous books in the Blindfold Club series and with an open mind, I was set.
Grant was my sweet man, until he showed Tara his competitive side. He took awhile to show his alpha side, but when it came out…..Watch out ladies! The steam factor is off the charts good. By the end of the book I was in awe with the sense of compassion for these characters. Nikki Sloane never disappoints and has made this series so much more than the eye meets the words 😉
Nikki Sloane hits another home run with Three Guilty Pleasures. Grant and Tara take center stage in this book and steal the show!!
Tara has been a regular in The Blindfold Club Series. Tara meets Grant and it sure makes a “hit” literally. They share their secrets and desires with each other. They still have their own secrets (which turn out to be a total game changer for Tara!) the “rules” put in place make things very interesting between the two. They learn to bend the rules the best they can without breaking them. The secrets come out and there has to be an “intervention” (AKA steamy ménage). Tara and Grant connect on so many levels and it makes them a very down to earth couple. You can relate to them. You can feel the adoration and love between them in everything they do.
Every part of me as a woman loves this series. It has real aspects and all the steamy aspects I love in romance novels. I feel like I connect with them in every aspect and always have this hangover when I read them. The plot is always a real life situation you can relate to.
This book takes you out of your comfort zone and lets you explore some of your deepest, darkest fantasies. You will crave reading the next page over anything else at the moment.
The Blindfold Series is hands down one of the hottest series I’ve ever read. This is a plot and twists and turns in every book. They can be read as a stand-alone, but this books includes characters from the past books. After reading this book, you will want to start back with the first one “Three Simple Rules”. Mark my words!
