Tempt Me Twice
One hot man is good. Two s double the fun until your heart gets involved.
Jessie has been in love with her bisexual best friend, Paul, since their college days. He s never made a move on her, though, and at this point she values his friendship too much to risk revealing her feelings. Especially since now he has a new male lover and seems so happy.
Paul and Noah have only Jessie s rest and relaxation in mind when they invite her along on a camping trip to Lake Tahoe. She s been pretty stressed out preparing to show her art at a major New York gallery. A weekend getaway will do her a world of good and they won t take no for an answer.
Jesse thought she d be nothing more than a third wheel on this trip. But Noah is as sweet and hot as Paul, and their first night turns into a heated tangle of bodies in the dark tent by the lake.
It s an erotic, intense experience that must come to an end. And when it does, will she still have her best friend?"

Jessie has been in love with her best friend, Paul, for years. But fearing ruining their friendship she never made a move, and now she's stuck with a friend without benefits.
That is, until Paul and his lover Noah (yes, Paul is bisexual) invite her to spend a weekend camping with them, threatening to kidnap her if she doesn't join them.
So she goes, but there's only one tent...And what happens when a girl and two bisexual boys share a tent? Read the story and find out.
Yes! I finally found a ménage book that I liked. It had the plot (thank you, powers that be!), it had the sex, it had two hot guys, it had a nice, surprising, sweet little twist in the end...What there's not to like?

So glad I read this in the comfort of my own home and not, say, in a doctor's waiting room -- I think my cheeks flushed a few times reading this! Talk about hot menage scenes, wOwza, but hot threesome sex is not all that this little story is about. It's also about discovering love between two bessie mates, and it's beautifully done. Another winner from Eden Bradley!

Deliciously sensuous, and touchingly romantic, Tempt Me Twice is one hot little novella that will heat up more than your heart! Eden Bradley has long been one of my favorite erotica authors. She digs deep into her characters; exposing raw emotion, carnal lust, and soulful romance. She uses the setting of her stories to unleash a mood that brilliantly immerses the reader even further. In short, reading Ms. Bradley’s books is a total experience.
Tempt Me Twice is so beautiful and poignant! Not to mention, it will set your pants on fire. Jess and Paul have been best friends for years. And for years, Jess has kept her true feelings of lust and a more-than-friends love for Paul under wraps for fear of ruining it all and scaring him away. Besides, Paul’s relationships have only been with men. But when he and his long-distance lover, Noah, show up at her apartment and whisk her away to Tahoe all bets are off. Oh, I love a good menage!
This updated, expanded version of Ms. Bradley’s short story is a perfect afternoon read. Be sure to read the dedication! It warmed my heart and brought tears to my eyes.

I wouldn't say that I haven't derived any pleasure from reading it but there was just something missing from this story. Or perhaps it was the story line that did it. I didn't really like the idea that the hero hadn't made a move on the heroine and withheld his real feelings for her for 10 years. It took Noah to make them finally admit to the truth. And the ending was just so anticlimactic! I was hoping for an exciting reunion because finally they learned that they loved each other, the ending could have been more dramatic. But I guess it was too much to hope for. Anyways, it was okay I guess.

This little short was hot. It was interesting how Jessie and Paul have been in love with each other for years, but afraid to tell the other in case it would ruin their close friendship. I loved how one weekend with a third party was all they needed to do what they wanted. Noah’s personality was just what they both needed, especially at the end when he realized that Jessie and Paul finally were up to talking about their feelings.

What a sexy little read this was! Jess is inlove with her bff Paul who is bi-sexual. When Paul and his current hunk, Noah, decide sweep Jess off to Lake Tahoe for the weekend, Jess is in for quite the surprise!
This little number was scorching with sexy scenes and lots of dirty talk! Includes m/f/m, m/m, and some hot spanking too! Four stars for this one!

This one has been in my queue for a while - like years - and I finally cracked it open. My tastes have shifted a bit since I bought it, so I found myself a little annoyed with the configuration of main character combinations at the end. It’s tough to write a threesome (MFM) with a HEA. And I couldn’t quite buy that Paul has been in love (sexually, not just platonically) with Jessie the whole time. But maybe I’m just being grumpy. It’s a short story with a HEA where the threesome ends as a happy couple. With lots of sex scenes.

Short but good enough.
August 5, 2016
This 'could have been' a good book, but it fell short; literally, it is only 35+/-45 pages depending on the version you have.
It has the start of something special but there is no room for to provide adequate character background and/or develop the characters as individuals -let alone prove the depth of the relationships. Other than Noah, there are no supporting characters at all which makes the story hard to get lost in. The presence of supporting characters would have helped to form a valid conflict and would also have provided opportunity to develop the characters and relationships.
Furthermore, there was no true conflict; Jessie and Paul's unspoken love for each other, which is the only possible conflict in the story, does not even have a conclusion that resolves the various aspects of their union. i.e. does being with Jesse fulfill all his needs as a bi-sexual male? Does their family/friends support this union? Do they continue to invite Noah or any other male into their bedroom? etc.
It's unfortunate because I could envision the story, using my imagination to add background, addt'l characters and details, had the book was more thorough, and better developed, it 'could have been' a start to a good series similar to Surrender by Lora Leigh.

Too short I thought. Maybe if it had been longer, the characters and story could have more developed.
Jessie and Paul had been super good friends for over 10 years, since they met in college. Unbeknown-est to either of them, they each had major crushes on each other.
Years later, a bisexual Paul asks Jessie to go on a camping trip with his out of town male lover, Noah - who is smokin' hot BTW. Jessie wants Paul, but she wants Noah too. During the first restless night of camping Jessie looks over at the boys and gets all hot watching, but then they notice her and ask her to join in.
As the camping trip continues, so does the hot double lovin' - until Jessie and Paul are told by Noah that they're in love. Happily Ever After.
Ok - I don't know if I liked the characters or not, they were just kind of there. I was not invested, at all. I liked the idea of the story, but it just wasn't enough or complete for me.

Steamy read, not much of a story line

This novella is exactly what it says it is. A hot romp between three people. What I liked the most, was that the author was careful to use condoms all around, and plenty of lube for the anal scenes - both for the boy and the girl. It was very believeable and well written. The buildup was good, the main part was good, and the author left us with a knowledge that these characters go on, even after the story is done. Which is a big plus in my book. :)

Meh. The M/M action was really mechanical and stiff (ha ha), I understand why because there was no real love between them but I would have liked more tenderness. Jess was an annoying character who was was hard to believe. I mean, come on, she spent 10 years avoiding her feelings for Paul and as soon as he mentions the possibility of a threesome it was like, "sure, whatev." There were some hot parts in it which is why it garnered 2 stars. It's really short an unsatisfying though.

Years of repressed longing finally given a chance to be expressed... that has to be good. The addition of the new friend probably facilitated the whole thing. This story differed from many in the genre in that the menage isn't permanent, but it does open the doors for the other two to finally explore what has always been between them.

A hot short story with a little bit of everything. Only thing that could have made it better would have been a little more closure or an epilogue. I hate abrupt endings, and this ending felt that way.
October 20, 2011
An extremely hot novel! Loved it! I would have loved to read more about Paul and Jessie!!
The only trouble I had with this book is the namne Noah, that's my son's name! ;-) It made it a little strange sometimes. Not the author's fault though! :)

What a disappointment! This book is a short story, but it's object is simply to titillate. It's not really a romance...
And the ending is generic, leaving the readers hanging. I assume because there's another story coming out for Paul?

Jessie has been in love with Paul since they were in college. Paul has a new lover and they've invited her for the weekend with them in Tahoe. She doesn't want to be a third wheel, but they insist. She goes with them & ends up enjoying both of them while they enjoy each other.

Holy hotness!!! I knew once I saw that this was by Eden Bradley that it would be hot but I highly underestimated just how hot it would be! Who would have thought 2 hot guys and 1 horny female could get so hot inside of a tent... This book is great if your looking for something short and hot!!!
October 2, 2010
Not a whole lot of plot, and not sure how realistic the situation is, but it was worth the read.
April 11, 2011
very short and very predictable. Left me feeling a bit unsatisfied.

January 28, 2012
