Damned good! Not just good, but damned good!

While I have never read Holly's works before, I was absolutely amazed at how wonderful a writer this new-to-me author turned out to be.

Erotica is a fascinating genre all to itself, and it can be equally amazing to witness true good writers of such in action. Being such a controversial type of fiction is tough enough, especially considering the fact that so many erotica authors either write in purple prose, or turn their works into one endless sex scene after another.

Such extremes make it difficult to weed through the badly written works, but finding the gems of this form of writing makes such all the more enjoyable! Holly is truly a gifted writer, possessing the fascinating ability to create very dynamic, well formed characters. BG, Charity, and Eric were a trio cast that had my imagination in raptures! They were real people with varying depths; they were fun and unique to read about.

The plot, likewise, was remarkably well constructed, containing the right amount of passion, exploration, and heat demanded of erotica without lowering itself to just porn-status material. The writing, likewise, flowed so exceedingly well, forming itself to create an amazing novel!

And, best of all, the book's ending was assuredly happy and well done- and believable! I am absolutely going to explore more of Emma Holly's works, for she has impressed me to a boundless end!

This was my first M-M-F book. I prefer M-F-M, but this was really sweet. I loved the chemistry they had, and I don't know it was just really sweet.

Loved it!

I do love Emma Holly's writing because I find her characters just so darn likeable. They get on with it and don't have all this tortured miscommunication and angst driven, repetitive inner dialogue which is more often than not very off putting, painful and intelligence insulting. Charity is down to earth, has a moment of contemplation about being with 2 strong, smart men but doesn't get bogged down, she is strong without being unbelievable and hey she takes those 2 guys on (plus a little more) and gets down with gusto. B G and Eric are opposites, have a strong bond and are lovely together and better still with Charity thrown into the mix. The sex is excellent and adventurous, the subplot(s) is enough to keep you turning those pages, there is M/M action as well as M/F/M so if guys together bothers you you may be barking up the wrong tree with this book, as for me I love it so bring it and I'll keep on reading.

To say this book is full of

n  n

would be a total understatemnt. Sexual tension is all part of the sex games they play at B.G. Grantham's estate. This story has a very dark and unique plot with lots of twists, turns and mystery. The sexual dynamic between Charity, Eric and B.G. is one of the best I've ever read.

This was much more than I expected. I thought this would be a story similar to In the Flesh, with two complicated men in a relationship, and they (unsuccessfully) add a female. In the Flesh was not a romance with a satisfying HEA. I read Strange Attractions regardless because the excerpt intrigued me. It is a really good story - the two men are interesting and complicated, especially the genius physicist. The lead female is great too. The quantum theory added into the plot is just on this side of realistic. And the HEA was sweet. I’m so glad the story didn’t devolve into dysfunctional woe-is-me stuff. Definitely recommend. Cannot tell at all that this was written 11+ years ago.

Points for originality! And science. This one certainly takes off in an interesting direction, adding a (rare) almost sff element to the story. Nothing about this one is remotely real-world, but that actually works out to its benefit. Holly creates three interesting characters and actually draws believable, real feeling from them in the midst of a somewhat ridiculous backdrop. It's a rare sexy book that makes me think, but this one did.

Porn without plot. It just wasn't for me, despite the science fiction angle.

pretty good book.

I actually really liked this book. It turned out really sweet at the end.

Weird stuff, but OK.
