[Siren Ménage Everlasting: Erotic Futuristic Sci-Fi Ménage a Trois Romance, M/M/F, with M/M elements]
Undercover agent Alayna Wilson agrees to genetic manipulation in order to infiltrate the chemical company believed to be providing the ingredients to manufacture patrile—the most addictive drug in the galaxy. However, she soon discovers that becoming Fraiquan is more than having blue skin and long, curly hair. It brings on the comchi, a fiery mating between her and fellow agents Will Rowe and Tanner O’Brien.
As they assume the life of Fraiquan mates, she must deal with her growing feelings for Will and Tanner and the inherent dangers of uncovering a plot against the Fraiquan government. Though their love seems real, she fears it will not survive their return to human form.
Can she keep her mind on the mission while losing her heart?
Elizabeth Raines makes her home in the Midwest. A fan of all genres of fiction, she enjoys blending her love of science fiction with romance in the books she writes exclusively for Siren Publishing. Her favorite movies are Pride and Prejudice and Love, Actually, and she spends far too much time watching shows like The Tudors and Mad Men. Elizabeth has been happily married for almost thirty years and tries to express that kind of enduring love in all her stories, hoping to help all her heroes and heroines have their own happily ever afters.
COVERT is a solid MMF romance with a decent mystery plot. I especially like that the heroine is in the drivers-seat of the romance menage.
This is another well written erotic romance by this author but what makes it stand out is that the heroine is the menage's protector and decision maker. I really liked this unusual role for a heroine, especially in a non-BDSM erotic romance. Alayna is a well written character who is strong when necessary but also lets her men fulfill her emotionally.
I do wish the romance between Will and Tanner was a little more developed but given that Alayna was the lynchpin for the menage even this wasn't terrible. The sex is scorching hot for readers who enjoy erotic romance like I do.
The mystery plot of the Fraiquan was very interesting. I like the set up of the Fraiquan and their enemies and one of the other undercover spies, Luka, makes me curious about his story.
COVERT is a good erotic romance but the best thing is the unusual heroine who I thought was very compelling.
