True story!
I read it twice. Once sober and once... not as sober. A little experiment that I had hopes of bringing clarity to this story, but science failed me.
It brings me no joy to criticize a first time author but this was too much for me.
Triad is the tale of one man's experience with an established couple and, coincidentally, his first experience with a lady garden. I'm fairly certain there will not be a repeat performance either. I'm not sure if it's meant to be titillating or more of case study. What I can tell you is the use of language is strange and the undercurrent of surrealism is bizarre.
I think the surrealism is by design undoubtedly to add interest, but it kind of makes Rex seem a wee bit psychotic and it put me off. Is it a dream? Does he suffer from amnesia? Is it déjà vu? Under the right circumstances this sort of ambiguousness can and has worked for me, but here I perceived it as a contrived plot device.
That combined with the purple drivel was the death knell for me.
I would actually recommend this to others just to see if they have the same reactions as I did or if I'm in the 'you just don't get it' category.

As the air stewed, it would only be a matter of time before the mercury inhibition dipped.

We lay in dermal gradation: Robert, Ilham, me.

He came up after a few moments, crawling over her like a lustful salamander...
From her easy peaks, he migrated south, planting kisses along the way until he reached the center of her earth.
That combined with the purple drivel was the death knell for me.
He removed his hand after a time and replaced it with his face, lapping the rain from my shaft and balls, flicking his tongue at Ilham's swollen petite nob.

1.5 Heart Review by Kat
In a story that is only 21 pages long, an author has to grab hold of the reader right from the opening paragraph. For a short story to be labeled “erotica” I believe that you have to have at least a kiss before 50% into the story. Unfortunately, this story, which is very short – only 21 pages long, never grabbed hold or kept me interested in the story. If I had paid the $2.99 for an erotica story I would have been really ticked. The sex was okay, the characters were nice enough but I never connected to them at all, and, in a story that short, who cares what shoe size the one character appears to be? The story was just that, so-so. And being the fast reader that I am I should have been done with it in minutes but instead it took me a couple hours to finally “get through it” after distracting myself easily with anything other than this book! Sorry but it just fell short and lacked any kind of grip. Unfortunately, my honest recommendation would be to hold on to your money for a real book.

Title:Triad
Author: Remy St. Lawrence
Series:
Reviewer: Melissa
Publisher: NineStar Press
Release Date: February 22, 2016
Genre(s): Threesome/Erotica/Romance
Page Count: 40
Heat Level: 4 flames out of 5
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
Blurb:
“A friend once told me (or maybe I’d read) that sometimes love is a choice. However, I’d loved rarely, and I love hard.”
4 Sharing has never seemed so fun Stars!! Sexy, hot and totally sinful!
Rex is getting over having his heartbroken, so instead of wallowing in his self pity he decides to take a night out at a local bar. While there, he thinks back to his previous boyfriend and all the things he misses, but he can’t help but notice an attractive couple trying to get his attention. He finds himself striking up a conversation with Robert and Ilham. And while he’s usually attracted to only men, he’s intrigued by the beauty of Ilham. One thing leads to another and all three of them end up back Robert and Ilham’s home. And while Rex is excited to be with this couple, he’s never been with a woman before….I mean could he?? He’s now going into unchartered territory...will he be the same??
This was a short, fast, action packed book. If you like books that pack on the heat, then this book is for you. I loved Rex’s inner dialogue as the “action” was going on and the connection he shares with Robert and Ilham. There is no insta love, all three know exactly what they are getting themselves into. The ending is abrupt and leaves it open for more. I will say if there is another book with these characters, I’ll definitely read it!

A phenomenal short erotic story that captivates your attention and leaves you craving for more at the end. The author has a unique writing style that emphasizes the small details and beauty of making love to strangers. The story exposes the insecurities and awkwardness that come along with a hook-up - getting naked for the first time in front of someone, not knowing what they expect or how far to go, the first kiss, etc; At the same time the author takes you through all the pleasure and joy of hot, steamy, free-thinking sex. By the end you will wish it was more than just a threesome, but a foursome that is including you. Overall, fantastic short read! We need more short erotic stories like this!
