A menage erotica among one coffee girl and a twin. One twin is playboy style, another is quieter and quite shy but sweet. They both fell for her.
I'm a bit hilarious that the shy twin, who she was more attracted to, was not the first one to get her despite that she was obviously more into him than his twin.

Helen is working a latte shop just outside an upscale high-rise apartment in Manhattan. Switching shifts with her boss, she finds herself face-to-face with the most delicious, maddeningly arrogant men she’s ever met. He’s hot and sexy as hell, but the fact that he can’t lift his eyes from her chest is a strike against him. Too bad he’s such a jerk…she would have loved to get to know him better.

Fran Lee, how I adore thee, allow me to count the ways! You always manage to write the sexiest heroes and sauciest heroines, combining humor with mind-blowing chemistry and heat. Just when I think you can’t possibly hook me again, you come along and bring me to my knees.
Holy flamethrower, Batman! I’ve read some scorchers by Ms. Lee, but this one is off the charts. It’s a slow burn, teasing and taunting with promises of devious delight, which makes the actual moment of triple ecstasy all the more sweet. Double Your Pleasure is also double the fun, and the two sexy and gorgeous twins, Jason and Jon, should come with a burn notice. Of course, the super sexy coffee girl Helen isn’t too shabby herself, and is exactly the right woman to tame two men who yearn for the same thing. The interplay is sexy and luscious, drawing things out as Helen moves into the lion’s den to indulge in her most hedonistic fantasies.
As with all Fran Lee’s material, there is a thoroughly enjoyable amount of humor contained within the story. She’s the master of writing memorable characters who think things that will make you chuckle and wilt at the same time. Once you read one of her stories, you’ll enlist in the fan club. Trust me; it’s only a matter of time.
A definite must read for the ever naughty TBR list. Double Your Pleasure has the heat, the snark, and just enough emotion along the way to satisfy the palette while keeping you hungry for more. Ménage fans, be sure to get your hands on your own copy – and be sure you have plenty of ice-water handy.

Review: Double Your Pleasure by Fran Lee
Jonathan Blackstone expects to see his regular coffee barista when he stops into the coffee house by his apartment, instead he finds Helen whose delectable looks are causing a stir in him. Helen is immediately put off by the arrogant male she is serving coffee to and makes every effort to focus on her work, and not the hunk underneath it all. When Jason Blackstone arrives to order a coffee of his own he is hit with Helen’s hostility, quickly realizing his twin Jon had already been by earlier and left a wake in his path.
Helen is undeniably attracted to both Jon and Jason. When Jason unexpectedly offers her an opportunity she can’t refuse, Helen finds herself conflicted by the desire stirring within. When she decides to act on the chance to explore something new, she finds she is pleasantly surprised.
Double Your Pleasure is a page turner with fiery dialogue and sexual tension that seers off the pages. An enjoyable read that I sat down and read in one sitting. A great diversion for a few hours.

January 2010
Erotic Contemporary Romance - Short Story
Manhattan, New York - Present Day
Helen Moore has been hit on more times than she cares to count in the short time she’s been working at the latté shop. Usually she does her best to ignore the customers’ rude behavior, but when one man catches her doing a little ogling of her own, his attitude is enough to make Helen rethink how hot he is. So when he shows up again a little while later – wearing different clothes – she’s a little hostile towards him. His comment that she must have met his brother throws Helen for a bit, and she can’t help but think that it’s not fair there are two such handsome men in Manhattan. Luckily, only one of them is a jerk.
Jason Blackstone is thrilled to realize that the sexy coffee girl has met his brother and remained unimpressed. Too many times Jonathan has been able to entice Jace’s dates away from him. He’s immediately drawn to Helen, and hopes to both get to know her better, and keep her for himself. Unfortunately, Jon admits that he is just as intrigued by Helen, and has some hopes of his own – that Jace and Helen would both be willing to share.
In DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE, Helen learns that first impressions aren’t always accurate. Jon is arrogant the first time they meet, and Helen is put off by his attitude of absolute certainty that she will sleep with him. Jace on the other hand, is sweet and funny, and though she can tell he’s attracted to her, he doesn’t push and seems somewhat shy. Helen’s life has taken a bit of a downward turn; the company she worked for went out of business so she lost her job, and her roommate is moving out. Since her job at the latté shop won’t cover her bills and the full rent, she’s struggling. So, when Jace offers her the extra bedroom at the apartment he and his brother share, at a low rent in exchange for housekeeping duties, Helen can’t pass up the opportunity.
An entertaining erotic tale, look for DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE.

Having her office job go extinct with the economy, Helen is working at a latte shop outside a beautiful up-scale apartment in Manhattan. Switching shifts with her boss finds Helen up close and personal with the most sinfully gorgeous man she has ever met. Too bad he had to go and open his mouth to prove what an arrogant jerk he was. If that wasn't bad enough, Mr. Sexy couldn't seem to lift his eyes any higher than her chest. Go figure!
Helen can't believe her eyes, standing in front of her just minutes later is the same man who just walked away. Or is it? This one seems a little more sincere but no less sexy. Oh my, two of them? Was it possible?
Jonathan and Jason Blackstone are identical twins who have the same taste in everything. Used to sharing on an occasion or two, the men have even shared a few women with pleasurable results. Jonathan and Jason both want Helen and even though Jon was the first to see her Jace intends to be the man that gets her. It looks like Helen has a few ideas of her own and doubling her pleasure is just the beginning.
Once again Ms. Lee continues to entertain her readers with a story that is witty, wry and simply delightful. This talented author's bright voice sparkles with her intriguing and tantalizing humor. Double Your Pleasure is a lively, brash and sizzling romantic dance of scandalous seduction between Helen and her two men that is captivatingly hot. The characters are far from conventional -- they're complex and endearing. Helen is a tough, independent and sassy heroine who readers will relate to. Jon and Jace both are deliciously sexy, while one is thoughtful, sincere and a little naughty the other is abrasive, determined and a whole lot naughty. The sex while blistering hot, full of pulse pounding erotic adventure it is truly hard for the reader to feel a realistic bond or connection between Helen and her two men. The story seems to jump rather quickly to its rousing conclusion lacking a truly authentic depth of emotional intimacy that is portrayed between Helen, Jace and Jon feeling more like a sexual fantasy.
Readers' looking for some light and fun entertainment this is the perfect treat!

Helen was having a typical day at the coffee stand until Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome came up to her counter. Her day went from happily boring to unbelievably steamy, and we aren’t talking latte here. Except that the man ordering the drink was a first class jerk. He couldn’t raise his eyes from her chest and that didn’t say much for Helen. So when he came back for a second round just minutes after ordering she couldn’t help but hope he had spilled the hot drink down his front.
Jason Blackstone knew the minute he ordered his drink from the little barista that his brother had already been there and had made his usual impression on her. So when he overhears that she is looking for another roommate he jumps at the chance to make her an offer he hopes she can’t refuse.
Jason and Jon Blackstone were very wealthy men. They owned a huge apartment in Manhattan and had an extra bedroom, which Jason hoped Helen wouldn’t need. So he figured he would offer her the extra room in exchange for being a “housekeeper” of sorts. Well things don’t stay vanilla for very long in this apartment as Helen, Jason and Jon can hardly resist each other. Will they be able to maintain the troika for longer than one night?
Fran Lee's Double Your Pleasure is one steamy gulp of a caramel mocha latte. Be careful not to burn your tongue on all the deliciousness that is the Blackstone boys. The chemistry between the three starts hot and just gets even steamier as Double Your Pleasure goes on. I did think the book was just too short and I wanted more of an ending that tells us the future, but hey, whose gonna let go of all that hotness? If you want a steamy quick romp with two gorgeous hunks, Fran Lee has done that easily in Double Your Pleasure!

It was a really good one and I admit I had the hots on Jace too and I don't care much about Jon. I just love the thought of a shy man. Arrogant men are just overwhelming.
Anyway, I don't like how the sex thing happen with Helen mistaking Jon as Jace. It's just a little not that fun. Anyway, all is well.

Enjoyed this book, but felt the ending was abrupt, it needed a bit more.
July 25, 2016
On the one hand Double Your Pleasure was a quick, satisfying read. Helen and Jason made an arresting duo due to their conversations that were witty and full of entertaining banter that came naturally. I was genuinely intrigued to see how far Helen would go before succumbing to Jason's obvious charms.
Unfortunately a shoe had to drop and the shoe's name was Jonathan, Jason's identical twin. I never quite bought his act, not even after him and Jason have a 'talk' about what they are going to do about Helen. Its obvious that she desires them both, but its equally obvious she's wary of Jonathan because he is so much like her ex-boyfriend (all pretty face, seductive charms and no heart). Where Jason came off as genuine and sincere, Jonathan came off as sleazy.
He loses even more points when his ego (and libido) gets ahead of his brain. Without spoiling anything he assumes that Helen is waiting for him, doesn't question it one bit even after she made her stance clear that she wouldn't sleep with him, and things progress from there. It's by no means non-consensual, Helen was an active participant, but the circumstances and set-up are definitely suspect. Not only that, but when she finally realizes what had happened she shrugs it off and enthusiastically embraces the twins' plans.
There are several moments when I think the author could have taken the story one way that was more redeeming for Jonathan as a character, but instead the lower road was taken and turned him off from me moreso. I enjoyed Jason and Helen as a couple, but the ending didn't feel justified by the narrative at all.

I thought that this was very hot, but I'm not a huge fan of the insta-love thing in contemporary novels. It's hard to feel like people are in love after meeting each other in 1 day, but other than that, I thought it was very hot, and I liked the characters. I just wish it had been longer to build up their relationship.
