Famous as a star of the television soap opera Passages, Cat Delaney, experiences both a literal and figurative change of heart after her surgery, abruptly opting to drop her acting career, move to San Antonio, and create a local news segment aimed at matching abandoned children with good adoptive homes. She breaks off an affair with Dr. Dean Spicer, her wealthy cardiologist, and falls madly in love with Alex Pierce, a Houston cop turned mystery writer whose sudden appearance in her life may not be coincidental. When newspaper articles describing murders of other heart transplantees begin appearing in Cat's mailbox, she realizes she's being stalked by a lunatic obsessed with stilling the heart of a loved one who may or may not be her donor. As the anniversary of Cat's transplant nears, the threat of violence grows greater.

From the back cover:
At Club Fantasy, any fantasy can become real, all forbidden longings satisfied without question. It's a place to lose your inhibitions--and just possibly to find whatever you desire most. In this deliciously sensual novel, Joan Elizabeth Lloyd introduces Jenna and Marcy Bryant, identical twins who are very different in their longings, and reveals the secret heart of two sisters on the verge of an awakening...
She knows what she wants...
Jenna Bryant has always been the free spirit while her twin sister March is the careful planner. Now, she has the sort of life Marcy--and most women--dreams of: a marriage proposal from her steady, reliable attorney boyfriend, Glen. But the house with the white picket fence isn't for Jenna. Instead, she wants the chance to explore the cravings she's never indulged, and when she gets an offer to stay at a friend's brownstone in New York City, she jumps at the opportunity.
And she know how to get it...
Leaving behind her sister and her boyfriend, Jenna is soon reveling in the Manhattan party scene, discovering hidden talents she never knew she possessed. It's Jenna's idea to turn the innocent-looking brownstone into Club Fantasy, a sexual fantasyland that caters to the deepest yearnings of the men and women willing to pay the price for their anything-goes indulgences. Learning how to satisfy the intimate desires of so many exotic, tantalizing people frees Jenna in a way she never could have predicted. But when Glen pays a visit, Jenna must choose between the business and the life he offers...unless she can teach him everything she's learned...

From the back cover:
Adam, Ethan and Ryan aren't looking for women. They're looking for a woman. One woman to share their lives and their beds. They don't want a casual romp in the hay, they want the woman who will complete them--and they're losing hope of finding her. That is until Adam finds Holly lying in the snow just yards from their cabin. He knows she's different the minute he holds her in his arms. But before Adam gets his hopes up, he knows he has to gauge his brothers' reactions. Soon it's evident that she's the one. There are a few problems, however--convincing her she belongs with them and keeping her safe from the man who wants her dead.
My review:
The story was good. The only problem I had with it was that Adam kept calling her "baby" and Ethan kept calling her "doll." Maybe it was to separate who was talking during the dialogue, but it became tedious. I enjoyed the overall story and the sex was very hot!!

The book had lots and lots of sex. The story could have been stronger and the conflict at the end more intense, but it was still a typical Emma Holly book. Besides the hot, hot hetero sex, there is sex with the same sex (both men and women), multiple partners, some bondage, and voyeurism.
