I prefer erotica that has a romantic plot to it - this one doesn't. It's pretty much, bump & grind every five pages, and the plot is not very interesting at all. Basically, the two guys plot to bring the innocent heroine into their menage - it seemed to me, they'd rather sleep with each other but they lacked the courage to admit to that, and needed the heroine in order to get at least some part of their secret wish. None of these characters have any "character" - they are just like puppets performing for the author. The heroine is especially dim. The author actually puts the heroine into a really lame, damsel-in-danger plot line toward the end, from which the two "heroes" have to rescue her. Pretty boring, really. I was skimming along toward the last third.

This story started out OK, but somewhere along the line I felt the romance between Maggie, Phillip, & Jonathan became sappy. The relationship started to feel forced and it was difficult for me to finish as I wasn't able to care about them.
Loved it as much as the first story. Not spoiling it but if your not into M/M/F look away but this is very juicy with its share of drama and heartache. Cant wait for the rest, they are getting better and better as the story progresses.
Decent writing and extremely hot sex but the romance angle was missing for me. It was like porn with a plot, sort of. I did enjoy another book in this series-At Love's Command. The writing and storyline both seemed more full.
