Romance

Jana Colton owns Wicked Delights, a lingerie and sex toy shop. She has been lusting after her best friend Kevin for the past four years and is determined to break through his defenses. Kevin Monahan is a 5-star rated chef at Dockside, a local restaurant. He and Jana have been friends for the past four years and he's been fighting an incredible attraction to her for the entire time. Kevin is a voyeur and his past sexual history is tied up in his feelings of adequacy and whether he can or should pursue a long term relationship. Nick Pappas is Kevin's old college friend, but they haven't had any contact in the past five years. Nick and Jana have been doing business over the phone for the past year and have developed a very strong attraction for each other, even though they've never set eyes on each other. Nick decides to surprise Jana by delivering his latest samples in person, to see if the attraction they are feeling will lead anywhere. Jana finds herself unexpectedly attracted to both Kevin and Nick and unsure of how to handle the attraction. When she discovers that the men occasionally shared women when they were in college, she is open to the idea of exploring a relationship with both men. CHECKING IT TWICE is a sexy, erotic romance with a sweet love story as well. While the sex scenes are a large part of the story, the relationships that develop between Nick, Kevin, and Jana are very beautiful and heartwarming. Ms. Redford has a wonderful way of exploring the personal relationships between not only Jana and her men, but also between the men themselves. I really enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone who enjoys erotic romance.

SUMMARY

'Tis the season for double seduction. The only item on Jana Colton's Christmas list this year is Kevin Monahan. Preferably naked in her bed. The delicious, hunky chef has been resisting her forever, but she's pulling out all the sexy stops this holiday. Especially since his acceptance of an out-of-state job threatens to nix her quest to rock his boxers off. Jana has always been Kevin's personal Kryptonite, but giving in to her isn't an option. Relationships are a four-letter word in his book. He cares far too much for Jana to let his emotional baggage ultimately break her heart. With the arrival of his best friend, Nick Pappas, the balance of temptation shifts. From their past history of sharing women, Nick knows every dirty trick it takes to lead Kevin astray, and he's not afraid to use them. Particularly since Nick's convinced that Jana is exactly what Kevin needs to be happy and whole. Their game of seduction quickly snowballs into something that feels an awful lot like love-in triplicate. But with Kevin dead set on leaving Michigan, there's a real possibility it could be a blue Christmas for them all. Warning: This book contains an extremely tormented voyeur, a very naughty and not so saintly Nick, a liberal application of candy cane-flavored body paint, a buzzing butterfly, and enough raunchy fun on a sex swing to melt a snowman . . . or two.
