It's a win-win-win situation. Luca has resigned himself to a life as a bachelor. He’s watched all the Morettis fall in love, but nothing’s ever clicked for him. Until Harper…and Conor.

Former super model Harper has spent too much of her life living up to other people’s expectations of her. Perfect hair, perfect body, perfect boyfriends. For the first time ever, she’s able to forge her own path. New career, no more diets, and—hopefully—a relationship with a man of her choosing, one who sees past the pretty face to the person inside.

Conor has spent his entire life lost in the shadows, the forgotten Russo, but he’s decided it’s time for that to change. After all, both of his older brothers have found love. He’s determined it’s his turn, and that resolve gets a little push in the right direction when a new investment means he’ll be working with the man he’s always had a crush on. But if he likes Luca, why does he suddenly have feelings for Harper too?

This is book 7 in Carr's Italian Stallions and can be read / listened to as a standalone although I love the addition to the series this book makes. The family feud between the Moretti's and Russo's is seemingly over...or is it? Connor and Luca have known each other for years and they come together on a project with model Harper, but something is amiss...is it the feud or is someone else out to sabotage this joint venture. While working together to salvage their project old feelings and new feelings evolve but are they all three ready for more than a casual fling? Great story line along with plenty of steamy chemistry and the narration by Sinclair, Barrett and Highpoint is wonderfully done and brings our characters to life. Definitely recommend and am looking forward to more!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I voluntarily provided this review.

Luca, the contractor hired for the restaurant, meets Harper for the firs time when there's a fire at the restaurant site. As time goes on and a few more mishaps at the restaurant, Conor, Luca and Harper's friendship turns into more. Navigating their ménage relationship and being open with their feelings is easy for Luca and Harper, Conor struggles with opening himself up to love due to his panic attacks. Spending a weekend together is going great until Conor hears a conversation between Harper and Luca about kids that freaks him out. Once the weekend is over, Conor begins to distance himself from Luca and Harper. It takes an intervention from his brothers and coming clean about his mental health concerns for him to realize he deserves the happiness Luca and Harper brings into his life.

Another great story in the Italian Stallions series. Great narration by Theo Sinclair, Marina Barrett and Oliver Highpoint.

This is the seventh book in the series and the first one that I have listened to. Yes, it is a standalone. I was able to listen to it and not feel lost in the cast of characters or storyline.

Luca is a Moretti. Conor is a Russo. There has been a family feud for as long as time. But their generation is trying to mend the relationship between the families. Conor has gone into business with Harper, a former fashion model. They are building a restaurant where Harper will be the chef, and half owner, Conor is the experience and other half owner, and Luca is the contractor building their dream.

But when accidents start happening on the restaurant jobsite, the three of them start going through who they're enemies could be. Who it actually turns out to be is a surprise to all of them.

When the three of them start meeting for dinner, they all start having feelings for each other. Well, Conor had feelings for Luca back in high school, but now they're more pronounced. They all start talking about their lives and opening up to each other. All except Conor. He has always been the silent one in his family and it continues to this day with everyone around him. He is reserved. In his mind he's afraid to open up and fall for anyone. He's worried about his future.

When his brothers find him hidden away in his home after battling a migraine, he has no choice. He has to talk to someone and they're not letting him get away with not telling them what is going on. They're shocked at what he has to say, and yet they're not. They start piecing things together from the last ten plus years and now his behavior makes sense.

The brothers insist Conor move in to the family offices where someone is always around to help him when he gets a migraine or needs to talk to someone. They insist he start counseling. And they insist he tell Harper and Luca everything.

How will Luca and Harper react when Conor tells them everything? Will the three of them make a go of this relationship or will it be too much for either Harper or Luca? And will the perpetrator sabotaging the restaurant serve time for his crimes?

Theo Sinclair, Oliver Highpoint and Marina Barrett are all new narrators to me. I truly enjoyed listening to all three of them. They played well together and individually. Their voices are smooth and quite easy to listen to.

Mari Carr does it again and pens another winning novel set in one of my favorite series, her “Italian Stallions” series. There is so much to love about this series, the characters, their storylines, the heat and the heart and this seventh book has all that and then some. This book brings another Russo and Moretti together, Conor has a new business venture with Harper, a newly retired supermodel, who is opening up a new restaurant with him, and Conor hired Luca Morretti to renovate the building they bought. Harper’s first in person meeting with both Conor and Luca happens just as the fire department was putting out a fire, the first of several setbacks. She was a trooper about it all and the three went out as planned, and she senses a tension between Conor and Luca, and soon realizes what it was. I adored these three characters, Harper was down to earth, Conor, more uptight, battled his own personal demons and the confident and swoon worthy Luca. Conor crushed on Luca for years, and once Luca was on board, it was smooth sailing, and Harper was the glue that brought them all together. It was great to watch these three get to know each other and navigate their relationship, morphing from a business relationship to something so much more. There is never a dull moment in this book and as with all her books, the writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. I love how far the Russos and Morettis have come since putting their families’ vendetta to rest. Mari Carr, thank you for another wonderful story and emotional rollercoaster ride.  

🎧📚🎧  Theo Sinclair, Marina Barrett and Oliver Highpoint deliver and outstanding performance, bringing these characters to life and did so with a complete understanding of the characters they were portraying, giving each a voice that was fitting. I loved how they took each role and made it their own sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and have you feeling them all. These three made a great team, their voices complement each other and their performance elevates this already fabulous story to another level. Thank you for another amazing listen.

Mari Carr has written another excellent book! I was on the road when I just choose a book without seeing exactly what I was choosing to listen to at that moment. I was thrilled when I realized that I was back into the Italian Stallions world! I was able to listen without many interruptions. My heart went out to these characters, mainly Harper and Conor. But Luca was my favorite guy. I was not ready for this to be over.

Theo Sinclair, Marina Barrett, and Oliver Highpoint are excellent narrators! They were perfectly cast and gave us emotional performances that had it rolling like a movie in my head. Perfection!

This is only the second book in the Italian Stallions series that I have listened to but it won't be my last. Each story is a standalone with interconnected characters so it's not necessary to listen to the others first but if you love menage, then you'll probably want to go back and listen to the others. I really liked the first book but I think I liked this one even better. I loved Luca, Conor and Harper. Their story was interesting with a bit of a mystery to solve, and their relationship was hot and steamy. Theo Sinclair, Marina Barrett and Oliver Highpoint all did a wonderful job bringing this story to life.

Steady and Strong by Mari Carr is a menage romance that I listened to audio narrated by Theo Sinclair, Marina Barrett, and Oliver Highpoint. This is the seventh book in the Italian Stallions series.

I loved the relationship that bloomed between Luca, Conor, and Harper. I really enjoyed getting all of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

I can't wait for the next book in the series Kiss and Tell to be released on September 3, 2024, so I can get Joey, Miles, and Lucy's story.

Theo, Marina, and Oliver did an amazing job on the narration. They really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you're looking for a menage romance, MMF romance, or contemporary romances.
