I know it's crazy to expect good writing in books that are essentially "chick porn" but I can't help myself. I always hope and I'm always disappointed.
I think these menage fantasy books work best when there is more to the plot than just sex (a la Lora Leigh books). In this particular case, Carew just takes Summer from sex scene to sex scene. There's no real plot and honestly nothing really happens except sex. This book is just a touch above the kind of cliche porn movie where the UPS driver rings the doorbell and lingerie-clad bimbo opens the door and drags him in, commence humping.
Also while I realize this book is just a fantasy, somehow the fact that Summer has sex with so many partners, one of whom is a guy she met hours before, and nobody mentions condoms, birth control, or safe sex, makes all of them seem unbelievably stupid. And one chapter where she has vaginal sex with one guy, no condom, in her office, then goes to another guy's office and he performs oral sex on her minutes later - eeeeew.
All my complaints aside, and thinking this would be my last Opal Carew book, she actually writes a HEA that I really liked and the hero is the one I was rooting for. Maybe I will try another of her books - mainly b/c love won in the end.
