Twelve authors have delivered twelve sinful fantasies to tempt, tease, and triple-please!
The anthologies I typically read have works written by three different authors. In a case such as this, what happens if you find two of the three not to your liking? Would you consider your money well spent? No, I didn’t think you would. What distinguishes this anthology from the others, is that here we have twelve short stories. More possibilities of finding great stories! As well as discovering new authors. Threesomes: An Anthology
Warning: These are explicit and erotic short stories for adult readers.
Table of Contents:
“Center Part” by Hobart Glasse.
Type: f/f/f This is a same-sex threesome.
Rating: 3.5 Stars
Natalie’s never forgotten her old lover, Safiya. How will she ever begin a new chapter in her life, without closing the last? During one of her usual visits to Her Secrets Salon, she never envisioned the beautiful hairdresser named Hillary- would be the balm to soothe her broken heart. Hillary suggests a massage may be just what the Dr. ordered. Natalie will get a massage she won’t soon forget. And when Safiya’s spirit joins in on the fun, things will take an unexpected thrilling turn!
My thoughts: This story was a good read. I felt it could’ve been better had the author played up the reality factor. For example, a patron walking in on them and deciding she too would’ve liked to join.
“Just Friends” by Cynthia Gentry.
Type: m/f/m
Rating: 5 Stars
This story has a steaming level equivalent to a tea kettle at its boiling point. Loved it! Meet Matt, a blond, blue-eyed tall drink of mouthwatering deliciousness. He remembers all too well his ex-lover’s sexual fantasy. Involving an escort named Rich joining them for some sexual healing. Not only does Matt remember “her” fantasy, he’s about to make it come true. Hey, what are friends for anyway?!
“When In Rome” by Mercy Loomis.
Type: f/f/f This is a same-sex threesome.
Rating: 5 Stars
When couple Myriah and Suzi bring along their friend/roommate on vacation, things take an unexpected turn. Kimbra’s about to get to know her roommates a whole lot better. When in sin city…do as the sinners do!
“House of Treasures” by Laura Neilsen.
Type: m/f/f
Rating: 2 Stars
Savannah’s co-worker is new in town. All work and no play make her one very lonely gal. When Savannah drives them to a French-styled mansion, the new gal gets an exclusive voyeuristic tour of the grounds. A masked woman will lead the newbie to a Moroccan themed tent, for a real welcome to town. The gladiator standing guard will decide he too will do what he can for the visitor.
My thoughts: The elements of this short story felt disconnected. Almost like a dream which has too many scene changes. I wished the author would’ve developed the vampire in a cape angle, while Savannah either looked on, or joined.
“Vince and Vi’s Caribbean Adventure” by Reno Lark.
Type: m/f/m
Rating: 5 Stars
This was one of my favorite stories, and includes some elements similar to the movie 9 1/2 Weeks
My thoughts: Yow-zee! This author gets a thumbs up for original use of a baster. Does Reno Lark want more credit? O.k., let’s say I anticipate women will be buying more bananas and cucumbers. Oh! Let us not forget the ice-cream!
“And Damien Makes Four” by Em Brown.
Type: m/f, m/m
Rating: 4 Stars
Element: Voyeurism
Jeremy and Brad are together. Jeremy, Brad and Margaret have been together. And when a hot biker named Damien comes to visit-they’ll all be together, lol.
“Two Men and a Lady Prequel” by Brit M.
Type: f/m/m
Rating: 5 Stars
This story is volcano bursting hot…loved it! At a Rave Eve’s with Jason, but he’s dee-jaying at the club. What’s a girl to do if her man’s busy? Well… make the best of the situation, of course! Eve meets a hot guy. Hot guy’s name? Luke. Did I mention he has tattoos? Well, he does! Fast forward…great sex, greater sex, spectacular sex.
My thoughts: I wanted a few pick-up lines, standard or original, with a few sexual innuendos at the club scene. But, really, the story gets five glow sticks from me.
“Later, Day Saints” by Kilt Kilpatrick.
Type: f/m/m
Rating: 4.5 Stars
Side-splitting, coffee-spewing laughs. Sure, it’s an erotic story, but this heroine is so dang funny! It should be retitled as The Many Ways to Device a Seduction. Sabrina’s a 23 year old U.C. Berkeley student. Back from class, she hears her doorbell chiming. It’s two Mormons in their early 20’s. Cameron and Aidan want to preach, but Sabrina is about to give a preaching of a different kind. I loved Sabrina! With just the right amount of sinful and funny, this is one of my favorites from the bunch.
“Web Swingers” by Tony Wards.
Type: f/f/m
Rating: 4 Stars
Beth and her husband are invited to a Halloween party. Her husband’s online friend George is set to meet them there. When Catwoman hands you condoms, you know this isn’t your typical party. When they enter one of the party rooms, there’s one Spidey too many. Extra Spidey will give them a web-swinging time! I enjoyed the sign on the doors, nice touch!
“Bon Appetit” by Troy Seate.
Type: m/f/m
Rating: 3 Stars
Dillon wants to share a special night with Madeline. So, he’s asked his friend Marshall to prepare a special dinner for them. When Madeline suggests a course not on the menu, Marshall decides he’ll do his best to accommodate her.
My thoughts: This was a good storyline that with just a “dash” of fleshing-out had the potential to be a great story.
“The Fragile” by Amie Nogrady writing as Elizabeth Miette.
Type: m/f
Element: Voyeur male
Rating: 2 Stars
One woman can bring the souls of the dead back through a sexual ritual. Speaking of dead, her sexual experiences as of late have been pretty lifeless. Until one werewolf seeks her out! The moans he’ll elicit from her are enough to bring back the soul he seeks out, and then some.
My thoughts: This story felt underdeveloped. I would’ve enjoyed it more had the voyeuristic vampire participated, or let the reader know he was feeling some sort of enjoyment from the experience. It’s as if he was a non-entity.
“Searching for the Perfect Mate” by Trinity Blacio.
Type: m/f/m
Rating: 5 Stars
Elements: Werewolves, Telepathy, spanking
I’m going out on a limb here; this was my favorite from the twelve stories. It was well developed and had great characters. (There is nothing-I did not enjoy about this story!) Remi LeBlathe is an alpha searching for a mate; while Lance thinks he may have found his. When a beautiful redhead joins their pack, Remi and Lance are ready to howl!
Your room will feel like it’s on fire. Burn alert, check those smoke detectors! Love it when he tells Kellie to grab hold of the light fixture above her.
My only complaint? I wanted a full length novel!
