"an intense Menage a Trois"

When Kate comes home from work one day to find her two flatmates in bed together -- in HER bed -- she tries to be angry, but finds that she is too aroused to be anything else. When Sean -- the bad boy -- invites her to join in, Kate eagerly agrees. His lover Joe -- the sensitive composer -- can't quite believe that this is happening, that his beloved Kate is joining in.

As the days pass, the three lovers embark on a sexual journey of exploration, finding out more about each other and themselves than they ever expected. Is it possible for love and desire to last? For three people who care deeply about each other to live happily ever after? Or will the steps they take to grow closer together, only succeed in tearing them apart.

In MENAGE, Emma Holly weaves a seductive spell with her words. Each scene fairly jumps off the page. Many times, I felt like I was Kate, enjoying the attention of her two lovers, wondering what the future holds. Every emotion she felt was vivid and believably portrayed. The sex scenes were nothing short of scorching and the best part, they were varied in intensity, kink level, and position. There was no set standard.

Joe and Sean were the perfect men: handsome, vulnerable in their own way, strong, and with enough faults to make them endearing. Now I understand why everyone I have asked about this book has spoken so highly of it. I am glad I took the time to track down a copy. Ménage is simply a must have book for any woman who enjoys the idea of a threesome with two bisexual men.

Rated: NC17 - LOTS of sex, some kink, some D/s, some bondage, and some tender and passionate; anal sex beween two men, and between a man and a woman.
