I honestly do not mind lack of sex. Amount of sex scenes is not an indicator of a good book. My problem is that it reads like a digest with not only details, but some important parts missing. I am not even sure which tags to use. Is it contemporary (it can be)? Historical? Fantasy? Angst?Hurt/comfort? Menage? (but then again, there is no actual sex to add that tag) Still, the set up was intriguing. I wish the story was (much) longer.
3.5 stars.

Being me, I am terribly disappointed that there is no actual sex in this book! The warnings were completely unnecessary.

That can't even be counted as a short story, but only a sketch.
In some historical/alternative universe setting two brothers play games. Not only sexual kind. There is some intrigue, but it's vague. Pops up out of nowhere and leads to nothing.
Sex happens off the page, so the warnings about menage and twincest are laughable.
The whole story just lacks substance.

Despite the warnings, this book contained no erotica and turned out to be more a short story about espionage. The role of the twin spies was vaguely outlined, but a lot was left to the reader to fill in the blank. Not a bad story, but if the story was going to be more plot focused than sex-centric, then the plot should have been more developed.

June 12, 2016This is short and free. I've read a book by the author which I liked. And the negative reviews make me want to read this :D

This is a story about nothing.

Very sultry and intriguing! I wish I could read a hundred more pages of this!

I'd actually read this one yesterday, so I suppose this one was the beginning of the menage run. (I've noticed that when there's some salient feature of a book, I tend to see it again and again for the next couple of books [at least three]. Once it was facial burn scars. Another time was dead lovers. I suppose this time it's menages. I have absolutely no idea why it happens - I generally pick books out of my unread ebooks folder more or less at random - but it does.)
It wasn't bad. Short. Brief. Underexplicated.
The author withheld too much information, whether purposefully or accidentally, and so it was difficult to enjoy. There was too much the author expected us to take on face value that left me questioning a lot of the facts presented and also the very purpose of the existence of certain points. The romance wasn't great either, but I feel like I tend to have that issue with Miller's work. I never quite get a sense of passion between/among her characters. Oh, and I've noticed that Miller tends to like menages.

The premise seemed promising, complex - two brothers seduce a man at a masquerade. But the most interesting part of that - that it's brothers interacting - is completely ignored in the story. Instead, it becomes some international espionage story that is so lacking in concrete details I have the sense the writer didn't even know what the story was. Characters are "operatives" from "my country." Vague time period, vague geography, vague political intrigue - there's so much vagueness that we're not left with much to sink our teeth into.

Simple and Fun
It definitely not my favorite from this author but it's an enjoyable read. It short as well so it great for one of those... ‘I just need something to do for a while, reads.’
I would have liked more to the story and overall plot. But as is it's just a fun little short story.

Hm... The warning indicated a threesome and, yeah, I could sorta maybe imagine that based on the kissing and INFER that such did in fact happen. But the warning for this short also indicated incest and there was absolutely nothing like that at all...not even a chaste kiss between the brothers... unless you count some mild innuendo as such.

I would have liked a bit more romance. There was a feeling of attraction between all three characters but nothing that shouted everlasting love or long lasting relationship. The lack of sex didn't really bother me, the story itself had a good starting basis for a longer story.

Rating: A bit less than three
It was lovely, and I actually liked the set-up. A lot. I really want a longer novel out of this. But in the end? The thing that mattered most to me, I think, was that I actually wasn't convinced that they would be happy. Let alone have a HEA.

This story caught me right away. There was tension and drama and it played up the plot development quite well. I just wish there had been more to it. It would have been great to follow it through with them.

I would have liked a longer story about these three ;)

Very good, but more of a fragment of a novel than a story.

A cute, quick polyamory romance read.

Okay, so... free is free, you get what you pay for and all that, but... come on. What was the point?! Don't try to build up if there's no pay off!

My only complaint is that I want to know more! It was a great book
