Rate this book
Kyli had always secretly held the fantasy of having two men at once. But following the stars out in the greater galaxy for seven odd years restricts the number of viable bed partners. Tired of fighting her body and wary now that she seemed to heal much more slowly, Kyli decides to head back home and apply for a position on the Force. She is initially rejected, but is curious about the second missive she receives. Drinking shots of Blue Vodka, waiting at the Corner Pub for her secretive contacts, she couldn't be more surprised when two ex-lovers enter the room and sit down next to her. Max has never found a woman like Kyli. They had broken up on not the best of terms, and when he runs into Gregor, they hatch a plan to recapture the elusive woman of his dreams. Only what Kyli doesn't know is that Max has no intention of letting her go after they fulfill her fantasy of the ultimate menage a trois. Max wants everything she can give him. And more.

Title is a misnomer. Apart from fulfilling her two man fantasy with two ex-lovers, Kyli ends up with Max only and Gregor gets his own story.
Never read Gregor’s story so will be doing so next.
Apart from the copious amounts of sex, the actual story was fun and enjoyable to read.
Have owned this book for years but original review is missing.
Read through KU but didn’t notice anything really different in the story apart from it had a longer epilogue.

After 7 years, Kyli has retired from mercenary work, traveling from crisis to crisis in space. She has applied for a position with the Special Armed Force but been rejected. But she receives an email asking her to meet with someone for old times sake at a bar. In walks two old lovers from her training days. They are there to satisfy her remembered fantasy. And when that is finished to offer her a future working with them. This is an erotic tale but plotting is sparse. OK

I liked the beginning, but after that I kind of lost interest in this book.

Author Elizabeth Lapthorne wrote one romanctic story of Kyli and Max and Gregor. Max and Gregor meeting together during work they do as Mercs, told of Kyli's fantasy and Max and Gregor fulfill it and this author brings out beautiful sizzling scenes that brought two characters romance back together. Gregor stepping aside, see Kyli and Max's love grow and bond even more. I am so looking forward to reading Gregor's story, which is in ebook at Ellora's Cave. Too, don't miss out on her vampire books either. She's now an auto buy author. You'll know you'll get sizzling scenes, a romantic story and just a fantastic story within it all with Elizabeth Lapthornes books!

Well, this is a book that you can read if you don't have any other book available. You can read the sypnosis above so I will not retell it. What I can't get in this story is that after seven long years that Kyli, Max and Gregor didn't see one another and then one night of proposition then the girl automatically accepts it. I don't know why the guys like to try her ass almost at the same day.

Anyway, this book has a lot of potential, especially with the upcoming problem due to what happen in this book. I like Gregor's character and hope he has a partner as well. As for the other couple, I don't really feel their chemistry, but I think that's just me.

A nice read-once. It has more sex than plot [including one menage scene:]. Setting is futuristic but there is little development of that theme. Not much action, mostly just likable characters going about the business of loving and living... Sequel is Bonded for Eternity.

I honestly felt mislead by the title and synopsis of this book. It sounds like a ménage, but isn't. Why frame it like that?
