A bike messenger in Manhattan finds her life has changed
when two bank directors decide she fits the conditions to
be partner to them. Mari doesn't have to choose between
Ethan and Gabriel, but if she chooses both she will be
letting herself in for more than she realises in this adult
romance.
MARRYING MARI introduces a 400-year old family/business
organisation, called The Colony. In keeping with the rules
from their past, the two men in their early thirties need
to marry soon and one woman between two men is the
acceptable form of mating. Sadly it otherwise is a bundle
of stereotypes, from the vastly wealthy background of the
men - no Depression or Wall Street crash - to the lavish
clothes and jewels they buy for the unspoilt girl and the
formal ball she is required to attend at the Colony. Mari
is the daughter of a woman who ran away from the Colony so
she may be acceptable to the seniors there - or not. Their
talk of "keeping the bloodlines clean, unquestioned" sounds
unpleasantly right-wing and likely to lead to serious
inbreeding. But luckily for Mari, the two men are very good-
looking, so that's all right then.
Skipping over the concerns, we do meet an engaging heroine
in Mari. She is working a demanding job to earn enough to
continue with her studies, taking semesters towards med
school as she can afford them and renting an apartment in
Hell's Kitchen. She is made uneasy by the sudden interest
from two bank directors, and returns a large tip from them,
though she takes no safety precautions when they insist she
comes back to their apartment - never even phones a friend
to say where she will be. She stands up to a snide
matriarch and copes with a family occasion or a formal ball
with equal aplomb. When rumours are spread to Ethan and
Gabriel about her, she tells them the truth, then departs
to let them decide who they want to believe. Overall she
comes across as a very mature 23-year-old capable of making
her own way in the world and enjoying her newfound
sexuality.
Enjoy MARRYING MARI as a fantasy romance between three
interesting
people, with several steamy scenes and lively nightlife.
She is the one woman they both need. If they can catch her.
Ethan Stone and Gabriel Pryor are successful, wealthy,
handsome—and single. But not for long. As Colony
descendants, they are required to form a mated triad with a
woman with Colony bloodlines—or they’ll be forced to do the
unthinkable. Move back inside the community’s walls and
accept whomever the elders choose.
When their hired P.I. comes through with a candidate,
they’re both relieved—and in a rush to close the deal.
Except their chosen lady’s bloodline comes with a streak of
independence as quicksilver fast as her bike messenger pedals.
Ordinarily, a big tip and amorous note wouldn’t impress
Mariella Amorini, but there’s something that draws her to
the two men she can’t explain. The shocking truth of her
heritage sends her reeling—straight into the safe harbor of
Ethan and Gabriel’s bed.
The sense of belonging is warm, and the sex is hot, but as
more truths become entangled with lies, it’s clear someone
from The Colony isn’t the least bit interested in the
threesome’s long-term happiness. And it’ll take revealing
their deepest vulnerabilities to forge a bond strong enough
to endure the test.
Warning: Two alpha males looking for their mate. One sassy
bike messenger who’s not entirely certain she fits the
description. Seduction tactics include wine, dessert, Cary
Grant movies, heartfelt confession, laughter, kissing, and
sex. Lots of really hot sex.
