Review:
What to say about a book that's chock full of all kinds of sex? I think this is probably one of the hottest erotic romances I've ever read. Some of the scenes will just make you melt into a puddle. And you get a little bit of everything. Each woman has a different fantasy/fetish. Abby gets a threesome, Blair lets her inner submissive loose, and Callie finally get to unleash her exhibitionistic/voyeuristic side. So you get a lot of variety, sexually, in this book. Which made it fun to read. And, yeah, really really really hot. But you better be open to a little kink if you plan to read this one.
I'm not sure which story was my favorite. They each had something I liked, but I think maybe Callie's story was my fav. Hers was a bit more well-rounded. One of things that kept me from giving this book a full five stars was that I thought there needed to be more character development. I felt like I hardly knew the characters when I finished the book. Everything is very focused on in-the-moment and it was a bit one dimensional. Plus, all the sex left little time for anything else, and each novella takes place over only a couple days, I think. So I would have like more character development.
And in Callie's book, I felt like I knew more about them. You got to see more of their lives and who they were. I liked that. But really, I loved all three novellas. Which is cool. Novellas are often hit and miss so it was great to read a book that was a winner all around.
I'd definitely recommend this book to those of you who like erotic romance, and who don't mind novellas that are a little underdeveloped in standard contemporary romance aspects.
WARNING, this book contains: explicit sex and language, oral sex, anal sex, m/f/m hetero threesome, use of toys, assplay, bondage/dominance (light), exhibitionism, voyeurism, public sex, a visit to a sex club where all kinds of stuff could be seen (f/f, groups, etc)....and if I think of anything else, I'll let you know ;)
