"Four Steamy Novellas for Those Who Think that Three is Better than Two!"

Fresh Fiction Review

Women's Fiction

THREE TO TANGO is an erotica anthology with four novellas of steamy threesomes and a great read for those who think that three is better than two! The first story is "dirty/bad/wrong" by Lauren Dane. Ava is visiting home to attend her mother's funeral when she finds herself back in the arms of Luca and Angelo. The three were best friends and lovers before Ava left town, and their recent encounter has reawakened deep feelings in all of them. Now Ava has to decide if she can once again leave the two men who mean more to her than anything. This was my favorite story in the collection. The fact that the three characters are restarting an affair works well for a novella length story. They already have an emotional connection so you don't get the feeling that they are heading too fast into an alternative relationship. The characters are likeable, and sex scenes are hot, though fairly vanilla for a ménage story with male/male interaction. In Megan Hart's "Just for One Night" Kerry's old crush Brian is in town for their high school reunion. With her boyfriend Jeremy's encouragement she decides to seduce Brian for a one-night fling. When Kerry decides that once wasn't enough, Jeremy is onboard, but sharing isn't something Brian thinks he can do. Megan Hart writes some of the hottest sex scenes in print, and this is no exception. It isn't exactly a ménage story, since Kerry has a separate relationship with each man, and it is definitely the most emotional story of the four. It deals a lot with uncertainly and guilt, and how adding another person to a relationship can have unforeseen consequences. Fans of Hart will find this story has a similar feel to many of her others. "Flipping for Chelsea" by Emma Holly is about adopted brothers Shay and Liam and their best friend Chelsea. They had a hot threesome together the day before Chelsea left for college, but when Shay touched Liam in the heat of the moment it put an end to their closeness. The three meet back up as adults, and the chemistry is still as intense as ever. But Liam and Shay need to work things out if there is any hope for a happily ever after. I am a big fan of Holly, but was a little disappointed at the superficiality of the characters in this story. I also didn't quite feel the emotion that is supposed to exist between the two foster brothers. The sex scenes are as steamy as usual for Holly, but some readers may think there is an "ick" factor because the men are adopted brothers. The last story is Bethany Kane's "On the Job." Walker is a former Secret Service agent who is hired by Tony to be the bodyguard of their mutual friend Madeline. Madeline was in love with Walker when he left for training 19 years ago, and now that he is back she is determined to torture him for breaking her heart. Walker wants to win her back for good, but he needs to find a way to get Tony out of the picture. This story is more involved and has more plot than the others in the anthology. However I did not care for the characters much; Walker is domineering, Madeline bad-tempered, and Tony a push-over. The story will appeal to those who like mild bondage and spankings as there is plenty of that throughout. There is one ménage scene, but no male/male interaction.

SUMMARY

Four of erotic fiction's most talented authors carry readers away with all-new tales of ecstasy that prove that the most delectable things in life come in threes... In Emma Holly's FLIPPING FOR CHELSEA, Shay and Liam shared an unforgettable night with their lifelong friend, Chelsea, awakening a rush of forbidden feelings--feelings they have to reckon with when the three reunite, and the unrequited lust between them is too much to bear. Though Ava left her hard-knock Georgia childhood behind, she never forgot Luca and Angelo. Together they were best friends with a bond that could never be broken. But when she returns, the three must decide whether to face the fires that burn between them, or forgo their desires forever in Lauren Dane's DIRTY/BAD/WRONG. In Megan Hart's JUST ONE NIGHT, fun-loving couple Kerry and Jeremy find themselves in a triangle of trouble when Kerry's old crush, Brian, returns for a school reunion, and Jeremy gives her his enthusiastic approval to seduce him. But while Jeremy has no trouble sharing Kerry, Brian isn't sure he can handle what's coming. Years ago, Walker walked out on Madeline when she needed him most. Now, the ex-Secret Service agent is back--hired to protect Madeline by her billionaire boss, Tony. Madeline is determined to make him pay for denying her desires--and she's not above bringing Tony in to sweeten the deal in Bethany Kane's ON THE JOB.
