4.0 out of 5 stars She almost had me convinced!, February 23, 2009

I have to laugh at myself...maybe it was because it was a Saturday evening after a long week at work. Maybe because I needed to be transported to someone else's world to escape the stress' of my daily life, but as I was reading this book, there was a part of me that could identify with how these guys felt about her...and that they all truly loved and wanted to be with her. It's an interesting and absolutely steamy read. The plot-line with the (ahem) stalker, was just entertaining enough, but it was the dialogue with these characters that kept me turning the pages. Of course, the next day, after I finished the book I chuckled to myself...three guys...one girl! Please. But in my opinion that is beauty of what a book should do, enterain, provide distraction, information, or a fun-fantasy escape. Fans of Maya Banks will not be disappointed with this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars it answers the question of 'How???', March 16, 2009

This review is from: Be With Me (Mass Market Paperback)

My curiosity was piqued when this book was recommended to me by Amazon. I had to read the summary twice to make sure I read it correctly. I had to read the book just to find out the logistics of how such a crowded bed would work. And the author describes it in detail, so if you're curious, this book does not disappoint. But, I gave it only 3 stars because, the plot was not really strong. The beginning of the book/the mystery of 'who dunnit' had me hooked, but once her lovers showed up, the plot slowed down. Or I should say, I was more focused to find out when they will all do the deed again. The first time was implied in the story but not described, so wondering when they will get to it was definitely part of the suspense of this book, as well as the murder. I don't even remember what happened to the murder plot.

I will have to say that this book was a good read, but not up to the level of her other books. I really was in hopes of it being better than it turned out to be, but I wouldn't steer anyone away from purchasing it and I will most certainly continue supporting this author.

What I didn't care for - The story dragged for several chapters and in different places, which is unlike previous books by this author.

Also, the sexy stuff came so far into the novel after a great promise of what was to come.

For a good way into the book the guys didn't seem too intent on the sharing and each would have prefered if she could have chosen them. Later, they were resolved that this was the only way to be with her because she would never choose, but you are left thinking that this is going to be a problem down the road, or at least I was left thinking that.

What I liked - How fiesty the heroine was, she wasn't some weak willed girl who couldn't handle herself and that was established right from the beginning.

I also liked that the author didn't make her some virginal girl with limited experience with men. I just can't stand reading books like these that feature previously inexperienced women who immediately is comfortable with multiple partners, that always yanks me out of the fantasy a bit.

Once they got going with the sexy stuff closer to the end, it was really, really, really hot - The author really delivered in the end with the erotic stuff if that's what one likes to read.
