Unexpected Desire... It's been ten years since clean-cut, sexy-as-hell police officer Todd Keenan had a white-hot fling with Erin Brown, the provocative, wild rocker chick next door. Their power exchange in the bedroom got under his skin. But love wasn't in the cards just yet... Now, life has thrown the pair back together. But picking up where they left off is tough, in light of a painful event from Erin's past. As Todd struggles to earn her trust, their relationship takes an unexpected and exciting turn when Todd's best friend, Ben, ends up in their bed--and all three are quite satisfied in this relationship without a name. As the passion they share transforms Erin, will it be enough to help her face the evil she thought she had left behind?
I have never written a review before, but I loved this book so much that I just had to say something. The book had me from the get-go, as a younger Todd left something behind because he couldn't accept a part of himself. Erin was comfortable in her own skin and walked away. Later the dynamic shifts, after each deals with life experiences I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. They love in both an emotionally satisfying way and in a very sexy, hot-read way. I was very drawn to Ben as well. It would have been easy for Ms. Dane to leave his character a bit flat. But she comes through with a man loveable in his own right. This book will stay in the permanent collection. Thanks, Ms. Dane!
This was a very long story. But wonderful, nonetheless. It spanned over a length of time and many events. It touched on so many subjects, I have to give author credit for her creativity and her commitment to the overall message in the book.
It seems the first half of the book was basically the love story between Erin and Todd. Then very eloquently, Ben was brought in to the relationship and it became a love story between all three of them. Through it all Erin was finding her way again after such a horrible time in her life. Lots of secondary characters. Lauren Dane is brilliant at bringing friends and family characters together to get us emotionally invested in all of them. I thought it was both realistic and unfortunate how things played out when their respective families found out about their triad relationship. It makes sense that not all of them would be okay with it. Its just sad that they lost some close relationships along the way because of their inability to accept it. And these men, wowza! They were fabulous. A perfect mix of alpha male potency and gentle tenderness and understanding. Side note: when it says "explicit sex scenes", it really means that! Hot hot hot!!!
I absolutely love LD's books. All of them. But I can honestly say I haven't loved the male characters this much since the Chase brothers. Fantastic men!! (no criticism to the other males in her books)....I just haven't felt the warm and fuzzies to this degree for the males since that other amazing series. Well done. Can't wait for Brody's story next!!
Oh, wow, is the first two words that pop into my head when I think of this ultra hot menage a trois book. It was so sexy, and, as another reviewer said, it was hardcore. And by hardcore, I mean, it was a rocking, sexual (highly sexual) good time. I loved the sexual tension between the characters, too. All in all, if you are looking for some hot action erotica, get this one. I'd recommend it along with Male/Female/Male and Romantic Hedonism: Two Erotic Novels.
