Nikki’s Review:
I have been a long time fan of Anne Rainey's. I typically gobble
up anything she writes. I was so excited when this book loaded onto my reader!
I love romances that are ménages. It adds a little of the forbidden and a whole
lot of excitement! This book started with a punch. It was heart pounding right
from the get go! The heroine, Crystal, is running through the woods for her
life. She's broken and battered, and her husband is the predator. I was
thinking that if the story starts out with this much of bang, then the rest would
surely be fabulous. Not so much. My excitement kinda ended there.
Crystal is finally granted a divorce from her abusive husband.
Then we fast-forward five months and she's ready to start living life again.
She literally steps inside the club, Kinks, and is approached by the two hunky
owners, Mac and Trent. And man, are they super sexy and oh so yummy! Everything
from this point on happens at super sonic speed! She ends up in a threesome
with these two dudes, who she just met. Now, I'm no prude, I love a smokin'
threesome in my books, insta love...sure! But a heroine who has been beaten
within an inch of her life by her spouse for several years, I would think she'd
be more cautious, maybe a little skittish about jumping into bed with two
hulking males. It's only been five months since she's gained her freedom and
escaped the clutches of evil.
Once the sex starts, it never really ends. I love the hot yummy
stuff...a lot! But this was a whole bunch of bed yoga and not a lot of
substance otherwise. It was like, 5 pages of sex, 1 page of story, then more
sex...rinse and repeat. I found myself skimming the love scenes half way
through. I never do that! Who wants to skip the sweaty delicious stuff? But
alas, I did in this book. The love scenes were really well written. Very
descriptive, titillating, and completely drool worthy. The problem was, there
just wasn't enough story in between the sexy stuff. I wanted more relationship
building between the three characters. But everything felt kind of superficial.
Crystal's ex starts lurking around again and causing some
trouble. But even that didn't add enough to the plot to give it more substance.
I will absolutely continue to read Ms. Rainey. I just think that this wasn't
her best book. There were a couple of secondary characters that I think could
have their own story. If they do get their own book, I hope we get more plot
and relationship building along with the bumping and grinding! But let's not be
hasty here; I want said bumping and grinding to stay, just add a few more
ingredients for a more complete story.
