Engaging, Sexy and Well Written

I read a lot of erotica, sadly, a lot of it is just lame. The sex is not interesting, the characters are stilted, the story is flimsy and just exists to jump from one sex scene to the next and the dialog makes me cringe.Thank goodness for writers like Emma Holly who know how to write sexy books - as in books with well written and hot sex in them but are literate and stand out as more than just a series of sexual encounters.Kate Winthrop lives with two young men, Joe and Sean who are in a relationship. Kate comes home to find them having sex in her bedroom and when Sean teasingly invites her, she jumps at the chance and the three of them begin a relationship.I can't say that I've really sought out a book with homoerotica in it, this book changed my perspective and although I've since read other books with gay (male) scenes, none of them have been as sexy as the ones Holly wrote in Menage.So thanks Emma! Keep em comin! (no pun intended)

A Great Introduction

This book was my first stroll into the erotica section of the bookstore, and what an introduction! I read the whole thing in about one night. Not only was the sex between Joe, Sean, and Katy hot, but I really liked them as characters. In the space of a few hundred pages Ms. Holly manages to create characters with amazing depth and dynamic. So not only was I rooting for them during the intense loves scenes, but also for them to all be happy in the end.I loved the ending too. I kept trying to figure out how this menage could possibly end for the three, and I must say not only was I suprised by the turn of events, I was delighted.I think that I'll trip over to the bookstore now and look at the other books in the Black Lace line.

Gold medal book if they ever make sex an olympic event!

I can not imagine, page for page, packing more sex into a book and still maintain some semblance of a story line, but, I guess I should have expected this from one of the USA's best and hottest 'erotic' lit writers today. I have to qualify 'erotic' since this book is not really eortic in the classic sense but rather an 'in your face' marathon sex race. The amazing thing is that it's so well written and scrumptious that you will not put it down. Definitely it's written from a strong woman's point of view as our heroine gets to squeeze her way into a sexual relationship with her two young hunk boarders. Note that I didn't use that 'homo' word, cause these two guys are probably what women would dream that homosexuals are like. Real life ain't like that, but, who cares we buy these books to get a look at real life ... I think NOT.OK so I loved the book and I think that Kate, Sean and Joe have to get gold medals if they ever make sex part of the Olympics.

More Than You'd Expect

When Kate Winthrop discovers her two male boarders in a romantic tryst in her bedroom, she accepts their offer to join them and thus begins an adventure for all three. Kate, a successful bookstore owner, finds herself attracted to the dominating, masterful Sean, who takes liberties with her body, but from whom Kate keeps her heart and soul at a safe distance. With Joe, Kate finds a sensitive, giving partner, one who cares for her needs and works to heal her from the wounds of her miserable marriage and divorce. This was my first Black Lace book, and I can see why they have such a following. The sex is hot - definitely some of the best written - but not at the expense of a good plot and character development. Kate is a character we all can identify with - smart, sexy, but emotionally gun-shy from a bad relationship. Both Joe and Sean are truly likeable characters, and appealing to me for different reasons. The combination is a one-two punch.
