4.0 out of 5 stars From 4 to 3 stars for four erotic ménage a trois stories., August 19, 2008

By	Jane Stewart (Illinois USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

4 stars for FANTASMAGORICAL by Annmarie McKenna.
Wild and wicked erotica. This story includes two gay guys having sex, and a girl Evan having sex with them. She is a submissive, the guys dominate. There is bondage and rear door activity. For readers interested in these activities, the story works well and entertains. The author is a good erotic story teller.

Story brief: The two guys are employees at Fantasm Island. Evan is a guest, paying for a week long visit to the island for the purpose of sex with either other guests or with employees. In her questionnaire she requests ménage a trios and to be a submissive.

Story length: 60 pages. Sexual language: strong. Number of sex scenes: eight. Setting: current day private Caribbean island. Copyright: 2007. Genre: contemporary erotica.

3.5 stars for HONEYMOON CASTAWAYS by Dawn Halliday.
Nice erotica with nice relationships. A newlywed couple invites the best man to join them in ménage a trios. No gay activity but yes rear door. The best man Andreas is a pilot flying the couple to their honeymoon destination when the plane crashes on a deserted island in the Caribbean. After the first night, the couple invites Andreas to join them in sex. He is reluctant at first. By the time they are rescued, they decide to continue the relationship when they return home.

Story length: 61 pages. Sexual language: strong. Number of sex scenes five. Setting: current day Caribbean island. Copyright: 2007. Genre: contemporary erotica.


3 stars for TAKE ME by Mackenzie McKade.
Pretty good. Definitely erotic. This story includes ménage a trois: two guys with a girl. The guys are not gay. She is not a submissive, but the guys are very alpha. There is rear door activity. The story was fine, but I did not like the misunderstanding causing a fight between Cord and Cait. I think the author should have come up with a better reason for them to have a fight.

Story brief: Cord inherited his parents' cattle ranch. Cait's father is very wealthy and owns a horse breeding ranch. Cord has desired Cait for a long time, but her father sent her to live with her mother for 2 years to keep her away from Cord. Cord and Dolan are known for having many women and frequently sharing the same woman. Cait returns to town. She also desired Cord but never acted on it. Cord and Dolan see her in a night club and take her together for that first night.

Story length: 71 pages. Sexual language: strong. Number of sex scenes: five. Setting: current day Santa Ysabel, California. Copyright: 2007. Genre: contemporary erotica.

Fia is a secret agent for the Prime and follows them. They convince her they are innocent and she helps them return to prove it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sins of Summer, October 24, 2008

By	Kelly "Reviewer for The Sinfully Sensuous" (Littleton, Colorado) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Three great authors with summer fun! All are good reads with plenty of erotic fun, but I have to say that my favorite was Take me - After a two-year absence, Caitlyn Culver was back. She and Cord Daily had lusted after each other, which infuriated her father, so as a preemptive strike, he banished Caitlyn to Europe hoping time would make her forget Cord. She was older now and was determined to make him want her forever.

Cord had tried to forget Caitlyn the entire time she had been gone, but it was useless. He wanted her and only her. Now that she was back, he would make sure she knew it. He and his cousin Dolan had shared women in the past, and he thought it would make his first night with Cait memorable if they shared her. Cord did make it clear to Dolan that this is a one time only offer because after that she was all his.

Cord thought they were on their way to having something special until the next morning when Cait's father made an appearance. Apparently he wanted to buy the racehorse that Cord had just acquired, and implied Cait was there to soften him up. His initial response was outrage, and he had said some things that were harsh. After thinking about it, he realized that he was wrong. Cait loved him, but now he had to wonder if it was too late to make amends.

This type of story plot has been used more times than I can count, but I still enjoy it. Caitlyn and Cord are very appealing characters. You just want them to be together! Who doesn't enjoy a good cowboy story!

3.0 out of 5 stars Sins of Summer - fun summer reading, July 7, 2009

By	Kenmore Girl (Buffalo, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This is a compilation of four short erotic stories. One takes place in another universe, which does nothing for me.

If you are into erotica with a at least one story with M/M sex, then these are fun reads at the beach this summer.
