Double Strokes

Rate this book
Just what is a good girl supposed to do, faced with the wicked temptation of not one bad boy, but two?

No matter how hard good girl, Gemma Trent, tries to run from the mistakes of her past, she can't seem to escape the memories of two hard-bodied, hot-blooded rowers, and the shameful things she let them do to her one crazy night five years ago in the college boathouse. Perhaps only by facing up to those mistakes can she prove that she’s no longer that sort of girl, and finally set herself free.

As determined as Gemma seems to be to smother the truth of her passions, Nathan Hunter and Ben Pearce—having already had her slip through their callused fingertips once—are equally committed to fanning the embers and rekindling the fire they suspect still smoulders deep inside. Now that they have her within reach again, all they have to do is convince Gemma to put her own self-imposed prejudices aside, and remind her just how good it feels to share.

I knew going in to this that it was going to be short, but I thought the author did a good job of filling in the back history and making me care that the trio got together. I found myself holding my breath, waiting for her to ultimately say "yes" so we could get on with it already, lol. And then, boy did they! The boys' reverence for the girl was so sweet. But because it was so sweet, I really wanted more at the end. I wanted to know, since she'd had such an issue with the fallout from five years ago, if they'd continue this. No promises were made, but after waiting for five years, I can't imagine that just one night would be enough.

Hot, short and sweet - perfect for adding a little spice to a lazy afternoon.

Every good girl is tempted to be bad on occasion. Gemma Trent is presented the golden opportunity twice in a five year period- although she is hesitant, she is also excited about the possibilities her two favorite bad boys are offering.

DOUBLE STROKES is a sexy quicke that is sure to scratch your menage itch.

Five years ago Nathan Hunter and Ben Pearce were students and rowers for their university. Gemma Trent had made up a perfect third of their crew, she had called the strokes and kept Nate and Ben on course. They were good friends but after the crew of another rowing team walked in on their threesome experiment everything had changed. Gossip had spread like wildfire, Ben and Nate were considered heroes but Gemma was spurned and had to flee to Scotland to finish her degree. The three of them never felt that intense passion again with anyone else and now for the first time in years all three of them are together at the annual Henley Royal Regetta. Can Gemma be persuaded to give their threesome another try to rekindle their fire and finish what they started?

Before reading this story I had my doubts about Double Strokes because it is such a short story. I wondered if it was possible to create a believable erotic story with only 32 pages, but Kat Black did just that with Double Strokes. Kat Black’s brisk and fluent writing made sure I fell for this story hook, line and sinker.

I loved the dynamics between Gemma, Nate and Ben. Gemma came to the Regetta to prove she has moved on, that she has grown out of these feelings for Ben and Nate. She is beautiful, likeable and sensitive. Nate and Ben are like day and night, both are tall and athletic but the comparison ends there. Ben is blond, bright and fair. He is charming and easy with a playful sensuality. Nate is the complete opposite; he is dark, intense with a fiery passion and he is the brooding (caveman) type. Together they make sure Gemma experiences her sexual awakening and they give her what she has been missing in her life. The sex is explicit, smoking hot and intense and I loved how it also mirrors the personalities of Gemma, Nate and Ben.

Kat Black’s characters leap off the pages, especially her two men. I love the raw, sexual potency of the pair. Double Strokes worked for me because Gemma, Nate and Ben already have a common past. Before the grand finale Kat Black skillfully blends their past and the present together so I understood Gemma’s insecurity, her hesitation and cravings very well, but also Ben and Nate’s perspective is crystal clear.

Double Strokes is a fabulous, sensual ménage story, I could have read on for hours but I ran out of pages way too fast!

Double Strokes is a delicious ménage tale from Kat Black. Years ago, Gemma Trent had a hot and kinky threesome with sexy rowers Nathan Hunter and Ben Pearce. It was incredible, but unfortunately they were caught and Gemma was forced to flee to avoid her tattered reputation.

Nathan and Ben, however, are far from ashamed of their night of passion. In fact, it drove them crazy and they've been itching to do it again ever since. So when Gemma turns up at the annual regatta, the boys are determined to persuade her into their arms again, and remind her how good it is to share.

As I said before, this story is delicious. I love the premise and the characters, and of course the sex is smokin' hot! There are hints at the backgrounds of the characters, which I'm hoping means Ms. Black will be penning more tales about this sexy threesome. A well-written, sexy and seriously naughty story, Double Strokes is definitely worth a read for m/f/m fans.

Two bad boys tag teaming a sexy female is right up my alley. This is a short hot focused on the girl who got away. Gemma succumbed to the wicked charms of Ben and Nate. This was while they all attended university. Unfortunately for Gemma, before they could really get it on, a group of students walked in on them.

Ms. Black writes a tightly focused hot sex scene. It's a lovely menage with sweet if predictable characters. This is an enjoyable quick read for menage lovers who need a quick fix.
