Not the best erotica I've read. It had a bit more "story" than usual, didn't leap directly into sex, which is not what you would expect with a story about a foursome. In fact, there was nothing steamy for the first half of the book. It was mostly exploring, somewhat realistically (if you can find "realism" in a 3 men + 1 woman menage) the emotional and psychological hurdles of embarking on this type of love affair. Each character addresses their own fears and jealousies. OK.
Unfortunately, with all this "story" it wasn't great writing, the characters weren't particularly interesting or well defined individuals. So if we're here for the eroticism, that was woefully underwritten, not terribly sexy or hot. Once the author finally gets going, it does go and go and go, but it just wasn't steamy or gripping. There was one pretty hot scene, but it ends poorly and not sure it makes the book worthwhile.
I hadn't given too much thought to the logistics of a quadrangle sex party, have to say that it turns out 4 is a number that doesn't work very well. I think the notion of lots of hot guys and one girl is sexy, but boy it didn't work on paper. Plus the whole idea that you have four extremely straight/borderline homophobic men all having sex together with one woman - it stretches suspension of disbelief too far. And reading about her having sex with all these guys, it didn't really sound all that fun, it sounded tiring and painful.
Not certain Maya Banks in on my future reading list.
