Product Description
Book 3 in the Crime Tells series. "Have you ever wondered what it would be like with a woman we actually cared about? One who belonged just to us? One who wanted more from us than a good time... A woman we could have together or separately. One who saw us as individuals who came as a package deal? One who was waiting for us at the end of the day?" "No." "No?" "I like them easy and I like to share them with you. End of story, Benito." Getting involved with any woman, much less one who might ultimately drive a wedge between him and Benito, is the last thing Dante needs, especially now, when his life is already in turmoil. The wealthy, influential family of a murder suspect he killed in the line of duty is portraying him as a trigger-happy vigilante, putting his career and reputation on the line. But as soon as he sees Calista Burke and witnesses Benito's identical reaction to her he knows the stakes have just gotten higher and a lifetime of never risking his heart is about to be put to the test.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Jory Strong story, July 2, 2006

By	Sarah W "Sarah W" (St. Paul, MN) - See all my reviews

Jory Strong has become very well known as a writer of highly erotic and scintillating love stories and Calista's Men is definitely one of her best works to date.

Benito and Dante are brothers. Their sexual predilictions run to sharing the same woman. It's a way for them to connect. However, neither has ever really wanted to settle down. But then, Benito lays eyes on Calista Burke. She's everything he's ever yearned for in a woman; Graceful, articulate, sexy, and oh so tempting. Dante recognizes her for what she is: trouble. She could tear apart the bond that the brothers share, or, as Benito hopes, she can make that bond stronger.

Calista has recently become involved in Crime Tells investigations. She's investigating the death of a young woman but the more involved she becomes with Benito and Dante, the less they like seeing her being put into danger. As the case grows more perilous, the men will do anything to keep Calista safe.

Incredibly erotic and very delicious, Calista's Men shines as a menage story that is not raunchy but is loving, is not dirty but is rather very beautifully penned. The relationship between the three protagonists is very sexy but also very romantic. There is a definite bond between Dante, Benito and Calista from the moment they first meet. Calista's willingness to experience anything and everything with these men adds another layer of sensuality to this tale. The mystery Calista is investigating is definitely intriguing but tends to take a back seat to the actual developing relationship.

Readers should note that this is not your average romance story. It is an Ellora's Cave title, thus making it highly sexual. Almost all the love scenes involve the three protagonists, so just beware if menage sories are not your thing. Otherwise, if you're willing to read about a love that is a bit different, but very genuine and sincere, give Calista's Men, and Jory Strong, a chance. You'll be hooked.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great primise - Poor delivery, January 31, 2008

By	Ink Stains "Ink Stains" (Florida) - See all my reviews

What could be more perfect than a menage a trois with brothers? The story line does not provide enough background information on Dante and Benito or their desire/need for a menage a trois. They have great emotional requirements but very little range. Benito, the softer brother, sets the stage with Calista (female character) at their first meeting through dancing and kissing. He also provides most of the emotional support for his brother and Calista. Dante, the dominant brother, sets the boundries of the relationship, as expected. However, he is so rude you have to wonder why Calista contines the relationship.

I felt that this story could have shared more of the details of the lives of the three characters, and therefore provided a more interesting story. This author has a definite talent and I hope to read more of her work. (m/f/f no m/m).

5.0 out of 5 stars HOT!!!!!, November 28, 2007

By	L. Matthews (Lake Charles, La) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There are not enough words in the english language to describe how awesome this book is. It show the true development of emotion between the tree main characters. Yet it is so steamy I thought it would burn the pages. Awesome author I will be picking up all feature books!!
