"Witty, inventive, and steamy -- a must-read for fans of menage a trois."

Theresa and Dale are engaged, happy, with an active sex life -- nothing too kinky, just a little adventurous. One day, while cuddling after making love, Theresa reveals to Dale that her ultimate fantasy is two guys on her at once. To her surprise, Dale is not unreceptive to the idea, and after a total of seven orgasms later (two for him, five for her), the couple actually seriously begin to consider the logistics of a threesome.

Right from the start, Tanglen's quirky sense of humor shines through. He truly has a knack for laugh-out-loud dialogue. Cute little gems like these abound:

Theresa: "You wouldn't get grossed out by seeing another guy with an erection?" "Nah. I watch porn all the time and it's no big deal." "What do you mean you watch porn all the time?" "Used to. I used to watch porn all the time."

This story also seems quite realistic, with Theresa and Dale writing out a list of requirements and actively searching the internet and the personal ads for candidates. The couple is definitely likable, and while the idea of a committed couple looking for a third party to join in is definitely risqué, the fact that Theresa and Dale are in their 20's helps to explain their experimental attitude. Of course, when they do choose their third party, Jeremy, he is definitely hot, though not too hot (after all, Dale would not want a guy bigger than he is). Jeremy is great, the perfect guy to round out the trio, experienced enough in kinky sex to smooth out any bumps for Theresa and Dale's first time without taking himself too seriously. The ensuing scenes with two males working away to satisfy one woman are quite sexy.

Tanglen has definitely tapped into some serious female fantasies with this tale. Witty, inventive, and steamy, A THIRD PARTY is a must-read for ménage fans. I can pretty much guarantee a good time will be had by all.

Summary

"Two guys at once."

When Theresa reveals her #1 fantasy to her fiancé Dale, she doesn't expect anything to come of it. After all, it's just a fantasy...right? Real women simply don't get the opportunity to be sandwiched between two strong, handsome men. But when Dale admits that he's open to the idea, Theresa finds herself in the surprising and wonderful position of trying to find a suitable third party. It's a comical search that finally brings them to Jeremy, who is charming, attractive, and more than willing to share his hotel room bed.

Grab the whipped cream, cinnamon-flavored body oil, and some restraints; it's going to be the hottest weekend of Theresa's life!
