Love in G Minor
Stephen and Jack play a lot. These long time lovers are constantly testing boundaries, fighting a delicious battle for control. When they meet young waiter Benji, they’re both intrigued. Such innocence doesn’t come along often, and they decide Benji is the best thing on the menu.
Benji might be in over his head with this sophisticated pair, but it might just be Stephen’s musical and artistic temperament that make three a crowd. Can Jack and Steven hit just the right note? Or will Benji end up out in the cold?

Barring any of that? He'll stick with writing his stories, thanks, and rubbing pretty bodies together to see if they spark.

Threesomes can be fun, hot, and exactly what an adventurous couple needs. But as satisfying as bringing in a third man to “play” can be for both partners, there are some dangers. Jealousy, a feeling of being worth less than the “new” guy, and fear of being replaced are all very real issues. It is rare that these are mentioned in fiction, but ‘Love in G Minor’ is very honest about the problems as well as the benefits. The somewhat unusual ending made me frown at first, but actually, it was just perfect.
Jack, a stockbroker, and Stephen, a talented violinist who plays in an orchestra, have been together for a few years and love each other deeply. They like to tease each other, know exactly how far they can go, and adore their kink. Semipublic displays bordering on exhibitionism are on the menu regularly, as is adding a third man to their activities.
When they find Benji, a waiter, he seems like the ideal addition. He is young, innocent, up for pretty much anything, and utterly sensual. Both Jack and Stephen have lots of fun exploring his boundaries, and Benji can’t seem to get enough. He remains an occasional guest though, and as familiar as Jack and Stephen get with him, the love between them clearly takes precedence.
It was quite fascinating to watch this dynamic – expressed in physical encounters and the occasional, very occasional, conversation. Maybe I should have seen the ending coming, but it still managed to surprise me. Kudos to Sean Michael for making it happen this way.
If you like incendiary threesomes with lots and lots and lots of sex, if you enjoy the dynamic between three men who are more than a little kinky, and if you’re looking for an entertaining read with a somewhat unusual ending, then you will probably like this novella.

If you are looking for some absolutely decadent M/M/M erotica, this is your book.
Jack and Stephen are long-time lovers who enjoy a bit of dominance, some light bondage, and a third every now and again. They are wealthy men who live life right to the edge of hedonism. One night, while out for a drink, they meet Benji, a young, shy, blushing virgin new to the Big City from Oklahoma.
With a few entreaties, they coax Benji to go home with them. Bam-chicka-wah-wah.
This book is mostly sex with lots of public activities. It's shameless and delicious. It's raw, and wet, and sensual in a very sex-positive way. I really enjoyed all the guys, their banter and their shenanigans. It's as sweet as it is sexy. Jack and Stephen love each other very much, and they enjoy playing their games, with each other and with Benji, though it's clear that their partnership is most important. Benji learns a lot from his skilled tutors.
There's only a little bit of angst--at the very end. Otherwise, these guys are getting it on. And on, and on...

I do love me some menage! It's by far one of my most favorite tropes. In Love in G Minor we have... duh, 3 MC's. Jack and Stephen are already a well established couple and they are quite a pair. They're rich, and dabble in light BDSM. They aren't, by societies standards, a typical couple. Which I think is why I loved them so much.
Benji is the 3rd MC in Sean Michael's lusty menage. Benji is all sorts of fabulous and adorable. He's new to the city, virginal dun dun dunnnnnnn. And he's caught the eyes of Jack and Stephen.
When these three come together (pun intended) it feels right physically. Now, this is an extremely sexually charged book but if you've ever read Sean Michael that isn't surprising.
I won't give anything away but I'll admit that the end was a wee bit angsty for me. I teared up. I really did enjoy this story. High sex, low angst, great dialog and personalities. So, yeah this is surely a book you should read!

~~I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads ~~
If you need a short story that will spice up your day (or night) then this should do the job. This is a seriously sexy read with a rather lovely ending, which was unexpectedly satisfying and definitely left a smile on my face. The main thing that will stick with me though, is the searing heat. If my central heating should fail, all I will need is to read this book until help arrives ...
What are you waiting for ? ... glass of ice water, a fan and a private place to read ... go!

In almost everyway this is a typical Sean Michael book. Sex, sex, sex, change location, sex, sex, sex, add a player, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex change location, sex, sex, sex...etc. Mine, Yours, Love...
If you have read any of the prior sips or shorts you know the drill.
Interestingly enough though this one has a different ending than so many of his other threesomes. I found the ending intriguing and mature for a Sean Micheal short porn story.

You know I think I have a book figured out and then an author will throw a curve ball right at the end of the book and will do something totally unexpected. Well that is what Sean Michael did in this book. He threw a major curve ball.
Jack and Stephen have been partners forever and they are very happy with one another. They are happy with their lives and they are happy with the way they still want and crave each other even after all this time together.
Sometimes they will find someone as a third to spice things up and that is what they did when they found Benji.
Benji in my opinion is very innocent. He comes from a small town in Oklahoma where he was not able to explore his sexual side. So when Jack and Stephen showed that extra interest in him I think he was flattered and intrigued.
Things went splendidly well between the three of them but I think there was more of a connection between Jack and Benji then there was between Stephen and Benji. But regardless I think that Benji was still attracted to and was starting to care about both men.
As the story went on I felt that Stephen was starting to get jealous of Benji and I also felt that Jack was stuck in the middle.
Jack had to make a decision. Stay with his long term boyfriend and leave Benji? Stay with Benji and leave Jack? Or try to find a way to make it work with all three of them?
This was a short story with steamy sex scenes. It was definitely an erotic read. Sean Michael made the characters have a chemistry between them that should have totally burned the sheets up, if not the house down. I enjoyed this read. I honestly wish it would have been a little longer because there is definitely the makings of an extremely erotic long story here if Sean Michael was wanting to go that avenue. Regardless if he was not, this was still a very entertaining read.

(¸.•´ (¸.•` ღWhat do you get when an aggressively dominant stockbroker and a submissively dominant violinist meets an innocent? Sometimes a third is exactly what a pair needs.
The games were about to begin. Lovers Jack and Stephen had lost their third. After a delicious night, they decided to haunt another. They found it in the sweet, waiter named Benji.
He was going to have one adventure before he went home, or die trying. -- Benji
Almost immediately there was attraction and chemistry. Stephen and Jack were intrigued by the boy they wanted as their toy. Between the two of them, they were magic, add in this third and they went up like a house on fire. One night just wasn't enough. Theirs was an open, public exhibition of sexual tension. Until one of them had an epiphany and it became a matter of self preservation.
This could have been called the seduction of Benji. No one does BDSM quite like Sean Michael. I am talking comfortable, tie me up and torture me so good that I am begging and gagging for it. Four magical stars and five plus steamy heat for this spicy novella, with an ending that left me blinking.

✨✨✨✨4 Little Bit Stars✨✨✨✨
This is the story of two long term lovers wanting to spice up their love life by taking on a third. This is a Sean Michael book, so the first few pages are all about the kindle melting sex these two have together, lots of it! Steven and Jack are trying to find someone else to complete their life and they come across a young waiter at a restaurant.
"So who's the cute little muffin serving us this evening?" "Benji. He's a doll-baby, all wide-eyed and trembly." His voice lowered. "He'd bruise beautifully."
Benji is such an innocent, but is intrigued by the two men he is waiting on. He notices their intimacy and blatant sexual come on's and readily agrees to go home with them. What ensues is sex, more sex, and much more sex. Plenty of steamy sex. There isn't too much story between them, but the reason I gave this 4 stars is Sean Michael really wrote Steven and Jack with a lot of love and emotions between them. I could feel it coming off of the pages.
So what happens? Does Benji join them as a permanent addition to their life? You may be surprised. You will have to read this short but steamy story and find out for yourself!

April 7, 2009Stephen and Jack are old time lovers but heat between the two is still high. They like to play. And they have found a new toy, Benji.
Benji is young and innocent, a virgin. He is lured by this upperclass couple and shares fun and sex. But for Stephen and Jack he is only a good boy, a pretty little thing. The real Love is something different for them, and when Stephen begins to doubt, Jack has to do everything to prove that what they have is forever.
Stephen and Jack are an handsome couple, but they are devilish. They are like the Prince Charming of Pretty Woman, but in the end for Benji will be no happily ever after... or maybe no?
A standalone story, long enough to enthrall you, but short enough to be an enjoyable reading when you are not up for something too long. Well dosed and arousing. In the end I fell sorry for Benji, prey of two wicked wolfes, but Sean Michael has a candy for the boy... a very hot candy.

I wish I could give partial stars, because this is a fairly solid 2.5 for me.
I liked the character of Benji, and his character arc, though I felt there was a bit of a jump at the end.
I didn't really care for the two other central characters. I found them a little shallow, and their dialogue just felt off for me.
Good premise, good story, it just fell a little flat for me.

Insanely hot and, toward the end, completely understandable from the point of the original couple. Not so sure I was happy with how Benji was kind of played with and then let loose, but his adaptability and interest at the end kind of ties that up and eases it nicely. ^_^

A solid mature couple who occasionally plays with a third include a waiter new to the city and sex.
Everything about this book is typical Sean Michael. Sex, sex and more sex.
Short but a hot read.
