Multi author anthology - themed if you think the fact that both stories consist of 3 guys and 1 girl counts as a theme... Let's be honest, it's a sexfest. If that's what you're looking for, it delivers.
Pillow Talk by Maya Banks starts out with the h/h [committed relationship] discussing their fantasies such as voyeurism and multiple partner sex. Each decides to give the other their fantasies - which leads to some unforeseen complications; especially when they draw in other players... WARNING: this story contains fulfillment of a kidnap/forced sex fantasy - if this is an issue for you, stay away! On the other hand, if you have hot firemen fantasies, this story is for you!
Her Fantasy Men by Shayla Black has the 3 heroes conspiring to get the heroine's attention - so she can choose them! Most interesting to me was them trying to resolve their different loving styles - from the 'kisses and cuddles' guy to the 'tie them up and spank them' dominant.
Neither story contains male/male contact.

This is an anthology of two stories by Maya Banks and Shayla Black.
Pillow Talk by Maya Banks was a good read. Three hunky firemen, one ER nurse and a lot of fantasies! The story starts off with Zoe revealing to her boyfriend, Chase, some of her secret fantasies and vise versa. They both try hard to make each others fatasies come true, however they go too far one night and are left trying to repair the damage done to the relationship with each other and their two best friends, Brody and Tate. A good read, but not for the faint of heart.
Her Fantasy Men by Shayla Black is also a good read. Kelsey works for her boss Jeremy, a lawyer, who likes to be in control. She has her best friend, Tucker, for emotional support as well as hunky fireman/neighbor Rhys. She's in love with all of them, but is afraid to let them know out of fear of being forced to choose between them. My only problem with this story was that Jeremy was too alpha male in my opinion and Kayla needed more backbone to make a stronger character. Overall, this story was a very good.

Four Play by Maya Banks and Shayla Black
* I received this ARC free from the author in exchange for an honest review*
This was a great pairing of two fantastic authors of erotic fiction. Both stories center around a group of four friends, 3 male and 1 female and their exploration into the unknown.
In Pillow Talk Zoe and Chase share their secret fantasies with each other. As they embark on a quest to fulfill each others fantasies, one will take it too far and jeopardize the budding relationship that has begun.
Zoe and Chase have been together for several years and each is secure in their relationship. They live with their best friends Brody and Tate, who are also secretly in love with Zoe. Zoe is comfortable with her body and wants to please Chase so she enlists the help of their roommates to fulfill Chases fantasy. He is stunned to realize that his girlfriend would actually consider his fantasy and wants to give her something in return. Zoe is excited when she realizes her most secret fantasy is about to come true.
Zoe is extremely worried about how their roommates will react the next day though, but things seem normal, even better. Things get complicated when another is added to the mix and feelings get hurt. Chase realizes that some things are better left in the bedroom between him and Zoe.
Zoe loves Chase and knows that their relationship is secure but she also cares very deeply for their roommates, Brody and Tate. Their situation is complex because its not the standard relationship. They have needs that can only be met when the four of them come together. The story flows well and the build up to the fantasy is well worth the wait. I think the scenes with the four of them were beautifully written and extremely HOT. I enjoyed this story a lot.
In Her Fantasy Men Kelsey has been enjoying a nightly fantasy featuring her best friend, her boss and her neighbor. When she has the opportunity to make that fantasy a reality she doesnt know what to think, she knows her men and worries that she is making the biggest mistake of her life. She cant turn down the chance of being with all three of them at once but she knows her men and knows they dont share well. She loves them all and cant choose between them.
Tucker is her best friend and confident. They have been friends forever and she has loved him since they were kids. Jeremy is her boss and is a dominant. When he dominates her at work, it makes her Hot. She never knew she needed to be dominated before she met Jeremy. Rhys is her neighbor and savior when something breaks. They watch football together and he makes her laugh. She has fallen in love with each one of them and when she realizes they love her, she knows that she cant choose between them.
They come up with a plan to try and make things work but all it does is make everyone miserable. Kelsey cant stand hurting any of them so she takes off. Everyone is miserable, including her. She finds out something that could shatter their world and plans to see them once last time to share her news. They surprise her with a solution to the problem that will make everyone happy.
Kelsey is a strong character that has taken care of herself. She is not used to bouts of crying and thats all shes done since she slept with her men. She wants them all badly and she wants them all at the same time, this is her ultimate fantasy. Once that happens, she can never go back.
This is a story about discovering who you are and learning give and take when the issue is important. Rhys, Jeremy and Tucker have to learn to check their egos at the door where Kelsey is concerned. She needs something from each of them to make her complete.
Overall I enjoyed this book and give it 4 flaming hearts.

These two short stories were pure fantasy delights! Pillow Talk revved up the heartbeat and quite frankly made me squirm. Not only was the sex hot and heavy, but the emotional element was definitely well written, too. When the fantasy gets out of hand, the four of them had to work through some strong feelings to clear the air.
Her Fantasy Men was also riveting. Usually with menage stories, the participants are already on board with the idea, even if there's some hesitations in the beginning. However,this group really struggled with the idea of a long-term menage relationship, having to overcome their competitive feelings because the three fellows each wanted a monogamous relationship with Kelsey. Each guy had a very different sexual style and a lot of hard feelings came to the surface, almost costing them the woman they all loved.
Of the two, I preferred Pillow Talk, but Her Fantasy Men was a close second. I still get delicious chills just thinking about them. It's a great read, one I highly recommend. Sorry, ladies, this one stays on my keeper shelf. 4.5 stars.

WOW !! THIS BOOK WAS HOT!!!! IF YOU LIKE A LOT OF SEX THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU. THE STORY WAS OKAY BUT IT COULD HAVE HAD MORE. ONE WOMAN WAS IN LOVE WITH THREE MEN, IN BOTH OF THE STORIES. BUT OVER ALL I LIKE THE BOOK.
