I was disappointed with this story. In and of itself, it was ok if all you want to read about is one weekend of sex between 2 and 3 people. but the story part was lacking. Just as things get to a point where the story could be further developed, it ends. The whole thing could have been longer and more fleshed out. It took me maybe 45 minutes to read this book. For the price, it wasn't worth it.
Wade is just kinda thrown in so that there is a 3rd person for the Menage part, and it's hardly believable. He's in love with another woman but it's ok to have sex with someone you don't know?

I normally do not read "Romance/light porn" books", or whatever you call them, but this was ridiculous. Even for free it is ridiculous. The author does not know the female anatomy, and kept referring to the "Vagina" as the "Womb." Now that is pretty bad! I think she said that the main character's "Womb pulsated in delight", or something along those lines, three or four times in the book. I can't believe I kept reading it...LOL...Shame on me!!!

As far as romance novels go, it gets right to the point. Very little development of characters and completely devoid of plot. If you want to just read a few sex scences than it is okay.

I can not recommend this book. The leading female is spineless and spunkless, the leading males boring. The sex is predictable and same old same old. The ending is implausible. The sexiest part of the book is the cover picture ( and even that picture is lame!)Gosh, I have a pretty shallow taste but this is book is even for me too bad.

I got a little more than I bargain for in this book. It was very raunchy in parts. There was no real solid foundation for the story. Not my idea of a christmas story, but like my mother said "to each his own".

Got this free for my Kindle - I won't be reading any others in the series, it was strictly a few points of conversation inbetween some sex scenes. I enjoy Laurell K Hamilton and Nora Roberts/JD Robb so I hardly qualify as a prude; that said this book leans more towards smut than romance. I felt like I was reading a man writing as a woman - I have no idea if that would be true or not but I kept thinking - A woman wrote this? If your in the mood for smut - you may enjoy it. If you're looking for substance, look elsewhere.

Also - for Kindle owners; last 20% of the book is advertisements for other books - I read thru the main book in 45 minutes. OTOH I did finish it hence the 2 stars~

It was free, or I never would have even considered this book, just by the title and the little I knew about it. I should have gone with my gut - if I wouldn't pay money for it, then why waste my time reading it?!? There was barely a plot and it amazed me how "into it" she was. I mean, this guy was her new boss. MAYBE I can let some of this slide and go along with that she was madly in love/lust with this guy and so she was up for anything with him. But his friend, Wade??? Give me a break! Just the description of the guy made me want to gag, much less the things she did with him.

This is truly a case of "you get what you pay for" and in my case I paid nothing. For those of you who do actually spend money on this trash - know that it takes less than an hour to read it, so even if you do end up enjoying the book, think about how much you are willing to spend for an hours worth of "entertainment".

Very vanilla sex. The bondage theme is light...no more than you do in your first year of marriage to spice things up. If you are looking for a dirty steamy melt your clothes off book, this isn't it.
I enjoyed the read, it was just kind of bland.

Angie was expecting to spend a lonely Christmas all by herself until she shares some unexpected time with sexy boss Ryan Tyler at the Christmas party. When he asks her to come home with him, she jumps at the chance. It isn't until he is ready to leave the party that Ryan remembers he really is having company - his pal Wade. They have shared many women in the past, maybe they will share Angie too.

When Angie and Ryan arrive at his house, they can't keep their hands off each other. A knock at the door interrupts them, and Wade is suddenly on the scene. For the first time in his life, Ryan has to face unfamiliar feelings, and the fact that he doesn't want to share Angie.

This is a very erotic sexy story. The chemistry between Angie and Ryan is to die for.

This book was below average. There was no build up to Angie and Ryan. He says "come home with me" and she agrees. When Wade was added it seemed too easy. Angie didn't question him or ask about him just jumped right in. I disliked Wade because if he got his heart broke why was he jumping into a threesome. Ryan couldn't voice his jealousy about Wade with Angie. Angie blindly went along with everything and didn't show a mind of her own. The sex scenes were good and the only reason I gave it three stars. The end felt like the author gave up on her characters. It ended just as quick as it all began. There was no plot only sex which doesn't normally bother me but this was so unreal. It felt fake from beginning to end.
