I'm a USA Today bestselling author who LOVES the hot stuff, both to read and to write. My favorite obsessions are all things coffee, almost everything on HGTV, and dreaming up new stories.

3 1/2 stars. Surprised by this one, in a good way.I didn't know what to expect of this book. It had F/M/F and a bit of M/F/M. But really the story revolved around two couples with their own relationships and challenges. A variety of steamy scenes would firmly place this in the erotic category.

I just love Emma Holly's books. I can't describe how her books got me hooked, but if any of you read In The Flesh, Menage & Cooking Up Storm you'll understand. Her novels are interesting bcoz there's always a story behind every character. She's the only ero-rom author I can't give better reviews bcoz -- she's Emma Holly!!! (sorry, if my English is bad)

My eyes hurt from all the casual sex. An okay read - not my cup of tea, though.

Wow! Emma Holly knows how to do racy! This novel intertwines two stories about insecure women finding themselves and their perfect partners through sexual experimentation.

Bea thinks she’s unattractive. After hearing her Parisian mother tell her so for so many years it’s not surprising. Add to that the humiliation of being in love with her handsome stepfather who her mother misused, she’s a girl who has somewhat lost her way. Following her mother’s death though, Bea’s passions and confidence can be unleashed, and Philip is suddenly awakened to her charms.

Meanwhile her best friend Lela is fed up of being the good-time-girl and is looking to find a career to take seriously. But as she works towards a management role in a high class New York boutique, in walks a powerful, sexy guy who she’s not sure she can resist.

Holly has tried hard to mix up the sex scenes in this book, so they don’t become to samey – which is a problem I find with erotica. With kind Philip, domineering Simon and cheeky Andrew we have a mix of men willing to satisfy our heroines’ wants. They’re also taken to (and in) some of the most exquisite and the most run down city scenes, so there’s something in here for every fantasy. Most endearingly, there are some quite sweet love stories hiding beneath all that explicit lust, though I would, perhaps, have liked a little more subtle character development along the way.
