Three men, a tomboy and one erotic game that could change everything.
Simon, Eric, Rafael, Lee and Charli. It s never mattered that Charli is the only girl in the crowd. She s always been a tomboy, anyway. Just one of the guys.
Between work and Couch Potato Thursdays, life is pretty full. Sure, no man alive can get through the friend gauntlet, but thanks to her boys and her toys, she s got plenty of fantasy material. It s a win-win situation. Until Lee has a destination wedding in Cozumel and Charli s best man duties take a kinky turn.
Through what looks to be foul play by Lee s new brides, Charli finds herself on a decidedly decadent shore excursion, playing The Race Erotic . With each sexy challenge, it becomes clearer that down deep, she desires not one, not two, but all three of her remaining single buddies.
They re the only family she s ever known. She can t imagine living without them. Will she have to choose? Or will the final score be three to one?"

Four best friends during a game called "Race Erotic", are discovering hidden desires for each other. Short, smutty type, enjoyable read. Not a bad book. Two main things really bother me: 1. Simon, Raphael, Eric and Charli have been together for 20 years as best friends and business partners. They have basically grown up together and they have waited all these years to express any romantic feelings they have for each other. They become 34 years old before they start understanding how each one of them feel...Well, life is too short. I am sure they had plenty of opportunities all these years to initiate something. 2. Raphael and Eric have strong feelings for each other and they like Charli. Simon and Charli have strong feelings for each other and Simon is ONLY interested in her. Somehow I cannot picture the four of them being together in a relationship at the same time. Not enough balance.
ok so the reason I gave this book 4.5 stars, was because it was too short... Otherwise this story was FREAKING HOT!! but, BEWARE if you are not into menage, or guy on guy then this book might just not be the one you want to read. Its super steamy and sexy and blew me away with the sex scenes. I think this author really did a great job on writing this story. It was extremely creative, and who would have thought a game like that would bring them together. This book was super cute, In the beginning Charlie didn't realize how she felt about the men who have been in her life for many years, they scared away the men she brought home, interrogated them whenever she brought dates to dinner, and it just never occurred to her that they might all have feelings for her. one of the guys she has a strong connection to his name is Simon and he seems like he has always been in love with her. Her and Simon have the strongest connection. Then there is Rafael and Eric, and they both have liked each other (the men) and they just never hooked up because they didn't want to ruin what they had with Charlie. Until this cruise happened, they neve4r tried anything with each other, and when it finally happens and they take chances and risks, Charlie get scared and runs away. But will she realize that she has wanted them all along? Will they realize that she was the connection to all of them being able to love each other? READ this book and find out, i promise you wont regret it, it will make you HOTT!! make sure you have a fan handy!LOL
This was a very enjoyable read. It's my first read from this author and based on it I'll be reading more by her. I liked Charli and her men, Simon, Eric, & Rafael. I liked that they all grew up together. It made sense that because of their past it would make it difficult to move to more than friendship even when they all wanted to. I did wish that the story had gone more in to the guys side of things to flesh things out more. I think the only thing that kept it from being a 5 star was the lack of development. Regardless of that lack (after all it was a short story) I really liked this story and would buy it all over again. :)
I love this book and would read it over and over again because I love the raw love that draws these four people together. I mean there isn't much of a story but I think all the sex kind of makes up for all of it.
Charli was always just one of the guys, but with a little manipulation and a few bets, she ends up playing 'Race Erotic' with all 3 of her best friends. Alpha Simon, naughty professor Eric, and bisexual Rafael have always been in love with Charli. Now is their chance to break all barriers and get down and dirty.
whoa, now I feel like one of those inside cover writers, slightly sleazy. But this book was pretty hot. It was short, had 3 love interests and had all kinds of sexy scenes, yet the writing was both fantastic and entertaining.
Very short but definitely hot! Charli has always been surrounded by her group of guy friends. They are practically inseparable which makes it hard for her to develop any romantic relationships. That all changes while away on a tropical getaway. She gets a chance to live out her inner most secret fantasies. Will she cross the line of friendship and take what she wants??? Good Read!
What should’ve been the amazing race turns into straight up porn race. I’m not even sure there was really a race. The plot is they’re all friends from childhood in their early thirties who suddenly jump each other. Well, the two guys wasn’t sudden. But the three guys on girl is sudden. Because they’re all in their THIRTIES. And they’re business partners who hang out a lot. So, suppressed?
“How would they be able to go on as they had been, after all they’d done together here?”
Maybe you should’ve thought of that before giving in to your twenty year old fantasy. ::eyeroll:: That’s the race where they have to give various and sundry the big O, before the other couples. And there’s a couple who counts them, this is never really clear. And they all aren’t in the same room…they are at the strip club.
But it’s an excuse for the guys to reveal their lurve for her - because that’s what every woman wants, right? A romantic orgasm strapped to a Mexican cross in a sex club while your panties are on that nasty floor? Yep. Porn.
“Does it matter how we got here?”
Yeah, because it’s called a plot.
I’d shelve this under sci-fi, but it’d piss off all the aliens.
And areoles are on a cactus, not a human being.
I’d list all the trite cliches, but it might make a good drinking game for someone.
*Blush* Here I go again Not sure why I read this one - I'm curious - I don't know much about this type of stuff - so why not (plus it got good reviews and highly recommended for a good "smutty" read) And Yes it was :)
I'm more surprised that I'm giving it 5 stars - Not something I usually do - but this e-book really had me in full blush more then a few times
The story starts off with the great 4 best friends attending a marriage of their good friend with his... 2 new wives - ok sure why not :) These girls seem to have fun together as well as with him, so it worked out ok for them.
Once they got the "I do" "I do" I Three" out of the way, Lee threw his brides over both his shoulders and headed down the beach to the cruise ship that was going to take them and their closest friends for a cruise they'll never forget.
Charli is a tomboy - she always has been and always will be - her 3 best friends , Raf, Simon, and Eric are practically glued at the hip. They have been best friends since they were kids - growing up, Charli's parents died, and she moved in with her 3 best friend's and their crazy Aunt Kelly.
Getting older in age, Charli realizes that the inventable is going to happen. Someone else is going to meet their match - after all, these guys are georgous - it wouldn't be long right - then she's going to be alone, and she's not happy about that.
She thinks of these guys as more then just best friends - but of course, she would never let THEM know that :)
On the cruise, they land in New Mexico - where the ship board people have put together a kind of Race - something simluar to "The Amazing Race" I supose - so when Charli arrives at the bar too meet up with her friends for the big race, she is surprised that they had left already. The director of the game found her and hurried her into the cab with another couple that was late, and drove them to the rest of the players.
Only there is a catch - this is not "the amazing race" that will take them all over the beautiful city - no no no, that would be a different type of story - this one, this race was the Erotic Race - BWAHAHAHAH!
I was stunned - threw of me off - it wasn't anything that I was excpecting. I knew it was an Erotica e-book - but it still wasn't what I thought it would be.
Oh to see these 4 people reviel their true feelings was just Awesome!
Definatly a must read for those that enjoy sexy, steamy, hot romance books - especailly with more then one sexy, steamy, hot guy :)
1.5 out of 5 stars trash/ not sexy, May 11, 2010 Three for Me? (Kindle Edition)
I'm a fan of Ms. R. G. Alexander's work. Ms. R. G. Alexander is a talented author with a fruitful imagination. I purchased this book shortly after reading her "Children of the Goddess" series. At the time I didn't have many reviews available to me prior to purchasing this book. I felt confident in my purchase & truly expected great things. Sadly I was left unimpressed. The character development in this book was lacking Imo. They just felt "flat". I kept reading expecting it to improve. The plot also left much to be desired. I was uninvolved as a reader and didn't care one way or another about Charlie and her tiresome threesome. I would characterize this book as trash, a waste of time & money. The only reason I gave it 1.5 stars was because I like the amazing race idea. It's a shame the potential was never reached.
This was a fun, quick read. A very short erotic tale of a girl who falls for her best friends. Since this book was short, there wasn't much charcter development, and I would have liked to know more about both Charli and Simon. They really seemed like the focus of the story.
The game that they all play while on vacation is hilarious. I thought it was really a great twist to the story and made this book different from other menage books.
I loved that Simon was the macho guy who called Charli by the nickname Chuck. It made it obvious that these guys were friends and enjoyed teasing each other.
Overall, I loved this one and would read it again.
Loved the "game" premise...The execution not so much. Darn, but I still don't get the sharing-thing. Call me a prude, call me selfish, call me spoiled, but...I. Don't. Like. To. Share.
This would've been a great little story if there was only Simon. The other two muddled the waters a little too much for me.
Still, a good and entertaining read with enough "story" to keep it outside the PWP realm.
I really enjoyed this book. What an original idea!! I will say that, although this book alludes to a happy ever after for everyone, I got the feeling that Charli and Simon paired off with Eric and Rafael "visiting" every once in awhile. I wasn't upset by this as it seems logical given the characters, but just a warning. Another warning? The scenes are HOT! I mean, have an outlet handy for the churning desires HOT!!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Yes, I enjoyed this where long,( too long really) term friends attend a wedding, plus their newly wed friends honeymoon cruise, where a challenge game leads to some quite erotic sessions with the quadrage...well menage is three so four has to be a quadrage doesn't it? Written English is quite good, no problems with typo's. Yes I want to read more by R.G. Alexander. Hence just four stars for this novella.
Where would you go to find a place that does an erotic run, where they get you to have sex in public? ummm nowhere. I just kept thinking of the trouble the company that runs it would get into if anything ever went wrong! But the boys are all very sweet and hot, i just wish it was longer so you could get a bit more of their back story and the ending was longer. But for a bit of fluff to read on a rainy boring day, it is good fun.
WOW can this woman write some fabulous erotica! But also with a point - not so much a plot but an idea that sometimes taking a chance at losing a good thing provides a great thing. And also I think that she is trying to show us that love comes in many forms and faces and when you find it, hang onto it. Keep it, nurture it and be proud of it.
No plot, no story line, okay, not quite, there was a start to both, but both were skimmed over and were not developed at all. The sex really wasn't that great either.there were four of them, it could have been really hot, but it wasn't. Warning, for my M/M reading friends it focuses on a girl For my M/F friends, there is gay sex.
While I thought the "race" that brings the four friends together was a little hokey, the characters themselves, and the interaction between them--emotional and sexual--were intense and compelling and hot. Definite recommend!
I read this about 2 years ago. I don't usually retread stories but I hunted this one down and retread it. I love the plot how is all unfolded. As one of the very first erotic stories I ever read.... It was mind blowing.
A friends-to-lovers reverse harem (with MM) with a cute set-up of the friends doing an erotic scavenger hunt together that forced their long-hidden feelings to be confronted. I liked this idea so much I would have liked a full book with additional hunt activities, and deeper relationship growth, but this short length didn't allow for that. I didn't like that the heroine thought a couple of times about liking/being closer to one of the three guys over the other two. With those two also finally giving in to their long-fought feelings for each other the combination contributed to less of a group/true RH feeling. But overall, this was a nice, light and quick read that worked for my schedule right now.
Three for Me: HOT, HOT, HOT! Fantastic writing and hot steamy scenes. It was a really turn on. I could not but the book down it was so good. I loved how they have always been friends but never admitted the attraction. I loved the hot adventures they went on. It was so good.
I like it the story how they know each other. But there was times when Simon disappeared, there was time where he shine but not as always. There is MM action but all the guys are into the heroine Charlie
Looking for a quick hot read, this is it. Charli’s has three best friends who she fantasize about having sex with. They end up in an erotic scavenger hunt. Will this strengthen their bond or destroy their relationship?
