Trigon Rituals #1
The Trigon Rituals
Double your pleasure double your fun is Alea’s private motto. While her friends indulge in flirting with the available men, Alea has her own private brand of scrutinizing--in pairs. I’ll take that one...with...that one. Single men just don’t turn her on. Emphasis on single. Not in the unmarried sense of the word, but as in solo--one man, by himself--alone. Men only arouse her in the plural form. But fear preserves Alea’s chastity. Not fear of the pain, or a broken heart, or some misguided notion that it should be saved for marriage. It’s the fear of what she would become, what she might not be able to control, once she surrendered. Oh, Alea wants what most girls want, the white picket fence, children to care for, the love and adoration of two ravishing men. Two ravishing men? But marrying two men, well, that’s against the law. Besides, what two men on Earth would agree to such a thing? On Earth indeed. Alea is about to get her wish… The Trigon Rituals-An erotic futuristic Romance

Well then.....this particular author should be BANNED FROM EVEN WRITING SOMETHING SO BENIGN AS CHRISTMAS CARDS!
I am fully aware that Erotica is very difficult to balance.....people expect sex and lots of it and of course they would appreciate a decent story-line to follow.
HOWEVER!!!!!!
Just read this... O__O
This is one of those old curse/prophecy type of books.
Somewhere around page 10: An alien witch, gets kidnapped by a guy who has the hots for her, and after a long chase he gets her and has his wicked way with her. Soooooooooo, while she's bleeding to death from HER HYMEN(???!!!), she casts a curse over an entire planet, covering it in darkness, she sends her SPORES(???!!!) flying throughout the cosmos to seed a line of awesome virgins....
And I was like.... HOLD THE F* UP!!!!! So a wicked witch with a massive fungal issue, does some pretty impressive cauldron stirring while she lays down her heroically I might add from a popped cherry? I read the paragraph again and sure as hell, I didn't imagine it...
Now i read some mish-mashes in my life but COME OOOOON!!!! After i finished laughing at that particular nugget I deleted this book, and placed it's author on the NUCLEAR WASTE pile....

This was listed as a rec based on my Uber Alpha Male Shelf. I can see why, although not as uber as I’ve seen. This is alien smut porn- the kind I dig. It’s two aliens who look like human Conans who come to earth- a backwater planet to them- to get their mate. (Conveniently, she has no family, so she’s ready to be ok with the kidnapping…and ménage a trois marriage in store for her.)
Setting the ridiculous premise for a menage fantasy/porn story aside-…Honestly? I liked it. It’s hot. It’s really not badly written considering some of the other craptastic stuff out there- (Hello Jaid Black , Tek Mi Q’an series…Just ignore the fact I read every one of them. ::wince::)
The plot is... Well I cant remember. Who cares really. :P
If you like hunky alien barbaric male goodness and one girl who takes it all without the bondage element and no m/m action- I say give this here smut a try. (Haha! I can’t help but laugh that sentence. SO ridiculous.)

Meh...really more like 3.5 stars.
Alea is a 24-year-old virgin. She loves to read erotica, isn't repressed, and isn't scared of a broken heart. She IS scared that she'll turn out like her mother the prostitute, especially since the only sexual scenarios that "trip her trigger" are those involving herself and TWO men. She's pretty sure that's not normal and certainly not likely to ever happen to her either...
Rjant and Tren have come a long way to find Alea...from the CalyTron galaxy to be exact. On their planet, the normal sexual 'pairing' involves two males and one female. Better yet, before they mate with their female they must chase her down. Guess it's a good thing for Alea she runs track, eh?
I picked this and the next in the series up on a recommendation from Amazon...uh, probably won't do THAT again. It's not that it's bad, it's just that I can think of several authors who do this MUCH better: Maya Banks, Bianca D'Arc, and Kaitlyn O'Connor come immediately to mind. Whiting's world is well-mapped, and there are historical (on this world) reasons for the 'pairings' and the chase. There's an interstellar battle and threat in the book too. So if you're a big s/f fan and like some erotica and menage too...then this might be a book for you. It's just not one for MY keeper shelf.

I had high expectations of this book but was disappointed.
The relationship between the two trigon males was the only thing about the book that I really liked. I disliked the heroine a lot. She was constantly running hot and cold. She was so completely spastic that I couldn't identify with her at all.
Plus, I didn't particularly care for the Trigon Ritual. While barbaric sex can be a lot of fun to read, it just seemed humiliating and not titillating. If she was going to find being watched exciting, I would have appreciated knowing that at the time and not afterwards. I would have love a chance to feel the excitement and not just the embarrassment and wrongness of it. The whole ritual just gave me the hibbiejibbies.

I read this one as part of a challenge in one of my groups and probably wouldn't have read it otherwise. I'm sorry to say that covers matter to me...after all they are usually the first thing you notice....and I wouldn't have been drawn to this one.
Despite this (and yay for challenges) I have had the opportunity to read what was actually an interesting story. The world building well done, characters were whole and developed and likeable. But....there wasn't any real angst or drama and it just felt like the plot got lost. What was the story hoping to achieve??
I'm going to say I enjoyed the read but I wouldnt read a second installment if there was one.

The book is definitely not for the faint at heart. Is a menage, with two men from a another planet come to take thier mate back to their planet with them. Alea must learn that her fears that she is un-natural for wanting two men is not only wrong, but a triple is the norm in her new home. The sex is hot (and why wouldn't it be with two gorgeous men), and they are able to help Alea grow in her self-confidence. Ms Whiting does a good job of creating a culture and does have some explanations of the term used in the back of the book, though I found I was able to figure out the terms with out the definitions.

Tren and Rjant are looking for the mate who happens to be Alea from Earth. After a pretty boring beginning once they meet up with Alea it gets much better. Someone forces her into a compromising position which has her questioning her morals, but they work through it. Very good book. 3.5 stars. I'm planning on reading the rest of the series.

The books by Angelia Whiting are not for the faint at heart. These erotic and sexy books go where every woman want to go but are afraid to voice that wish. Need something to stimulate...This is it! Need someone to fantasize about, these men are it!

Just finished this book and have to say I was a little disappointed. It was a fairly good story line, but I just felt most things were brushed over and rushed. When it comes to erotic romance I have had better.

Somewhere from deep inside her brain’s pleasure center, Alea heard the mating cry of hubba hubba.
That's a direct quote. Do with that what you will.
If you have a primal kink then this might do it for you. I didn't finish this though.

This was surprisingly good.
The first couple chapters were hard to wade through being descriptive and slightly confusing but once the story got rolling along it was good.
I was almost annoyed by the events involving the h and the poisoning but in the end I believe it was handled well.
I was very angry with the h with her treatment of one of her mates. She was cruel in lashing out at him verbally not once but TWICE during the book and in my opinion she is damn lucky he forgave her. Even though she loved him apparently there were some deep seated issues inside her regarding the fact that he was a few years younger than herself.
And the end, nearly rolling over the baby twice in a row? Seriously woman? Do you never learn??

Soooo virgins are the wives to be and the other women are all whores... Furthermore men can have casual sex with those women who are not virgin thus are not marriage metarial. Men do not need to be virgins of course. What a nice imagination... That is already a reality in my society. I do not need it in my romance books as well.
And that witch woman who can doom all the known universe with a virus but cannot protect herself from just one man or her death by hymen blood(!!!). That was just horrible.

This is one of the best alien menage stories I've read. The next two books in the series are even better. The rituals are tantalizing and progressive storyline was exciting. The two mind-linked alien males were hot and sexy, and the way they show their mutual love for the heroine was completely believable. Note: I'm not sure what the reviewer Ivie is talking about. There is nothing in this story about a witch and cauldrons or spells. It's as if she's talking about a completely different story.

if I could give this zero stars, i would. I bought this because it was compared to Robin Rotham. What an insult. Robin can really write - she crafts engaging dialogue, characters that are viable, humorous, engaging. This is complete and utter drivel with a few bits of sex (not erotic at all) thrown in. The sex is so poorly written that it's even difficult to envision what might be going on - completely missing the point of erotica. Didn't even finish it it was so bad.

My first menage story.
Its weird and.. well, include some alien loving, that really... weird.
At last it M/F/M, since when I try to delved into erotica realm, the idea of same sex lovemaking make me uncomfortable and sometimes I skip reading it.
And the cover really bad... and ugly. Make my eyes hurt! :(

An interesting concept at first, I grew bored very fast. Except for the sex, which is hot in the beginning but doesn´t really evolve, I felt like there were no real story line, no big plot that made me want to read the book until the very end. I dropped it at 60% and can´t really say anything about this book. Just too bad it didn´t suit me-

I have had this book on my TBR list for a long time and decided to finally break down and get it. This was a good read but some of things I did not like. She literally just falls in love with the guys in a split secod. It was just a little hard to believe. You have to suspend reality for a little bit to like it. If you do that you will enjoy it!

the story was very good but there's a few gliches I seemed to feel could have been addressed. Why open a new wormwhole if it's not actively used for more than primary charaters to retreive or escape? I loved the story but there doesn't seem to be an overall plot tothe series.

I love these kind of stories. What an amazing erotic read.

Simply amazing and it is the best book I have ever read. If people don't see the beauty in this book then they should all smack themselves.

It was boring. Too much details I didn't care about.

Honestly just pure sex... If that is what you are looking for in a book - go ahead and read this one.
