It's no secret that I absolutely adore mΓ©nage stories. There's something just
downright decadent about having
three (or more) people getting hot and
heavy in a relationship. The relationship arcs often take similar paths that you
see in romances with two main characters, but a really good mΓ©nage has an extra
level of depth because of the complicated relationship dynamics. It's really
four relationships in one! Each character must have a satisfying relationship
with the other two members of the triad, and there's the triad as a whole that
needs to function smoothly. Whether these relationships are MMF (male-male-
female; where the heroes are bisexual and intimate with each other as well as
the heroine) or MFM (male-female-male; where the heroes share the heroine but
aren't intimate sexually with each other), they are so much fun to read!
It's definitely complicated, but when you find an author or book who pulls it
off spectacularly, it's one of the most rewarding reader experiences to have.
You get the awesome relationships, and the opportunity to read some of the
hottest sex scenes out there. Two is amazing, always and forever, but three (or
more) just ups the game to a whole new level.
If that kind of thing sounds like your jam, I have a list of my top three
mΓ©nage books for your reading pleasure!
First up is
AMERICAN
QUEEN by Sierra Simone. This book the first in the New Camelot trilogy,
which is a retelling of the Arthur-Lancelot-Guinevere relationship in which the
trio is the President, the Vice President, and the First Lady. It's angsty and
hotter than hot, and the voice is downright lyrical.
Next in line is
UNDERCOVER by Lauren Dane.
This was the first mΓ©nage I ever read, and it pretty much blew my mind. This is
a sci-fi novel, but the focus is really, deeply on the trio of main characters.
There's a dose of reunited lovers, a dash of best friend to lovers, and a whole
lot of forced proximity and fake relationship. It's EVERYTHING.
My most recent mΓ©nage that I adored is
THEIRS TO TAKE by Laura
Kaye. It's the fourth book in the Blasphemy series, and holy goodness, it brings
things to a whole new level.
THEIRS TO TAKE features two
best friends and the woman they want to share. I love this trio, and I love the
whole concept of the Blasphemy as a club, and this series is just gold.
All three of these books have the awesomely complicated relationship dynamics
that I adore, and they're all hot enough to melt your Kindle, which is why they
ended up on my list.
Of course, I'm always looking to add to my mΓ©nage reading list! The more the
merrier!

The Thalanian
Dynasty #2
Meg Sanders enjoyed her wild night with a prince and his bodyguardβ but now
she's moving on. She has enough problems without borrowing the kind of trouble
Theo brings just by being who he is. But no matter how determined she is to
leave that night a fond memory, she hasn't seen the last of Theo and Galenβ¦
Galen Mikos's life boils down to one goal. Keep Theo alive. But as long as Theo
draws breath, he's a threat to the powers that have taken over Thalaniaβ and
anyone they associate with runs the risk of becoming a target, too. Galen will
never forgive himself if they let their selfish desire for Meg puts her in
danger. But it might already be too lateβ¦
Theo Fitzcharles might be an exiled prince, but he doesn't intend to stay that
way. He's only concerned with one thingβclearing his mother's name and
reinstating himself as Crown Prince of Thalania. There's no room in that plan
for distraction, especially when it makes him forget himself the way Meg does.
But after spending one perfect night with her and his best friend, Theo has no
intention of leaving her alone.
Even if it damns all three of them in the process.

bestselling author Katee Robert learned to tell her stories at her grandpa's knee.
Her 2015 title, The Marriage Contract, was a RITA
finalist, and RT Book Reviews named it "a compulsively readable book with just
the right
amount of suspense and tension." When not writing sexy contemporary and romantic
suspense, she spends her time playing imaginary games with her children, driving
her
husband batty with what-if questions, and planning for the inevitable zombie
apocalypse./p>
