to a white man before, but his intriguing invitation to actually have sex with
two men at one time captivates her imagination. When the barriers to their

forbidden fantasy? And if she does, will the experience open doors to a whole new

Excerpt
Ray didn’t
dare let go of Amber’s hand. He knew the modest, uptight Amber still had a
death grip on the sexy, more confident woman he’d made love to earlier that
evening. At any moment she might get cold feet and run back to the safety of
the bathroom. Once they got started though, he hoped she’d get caught up in the
sensual game. By the end of the evening she’d know for sure if this is what she
really wanted.
But could
he count on Cal to follow through? His cousin had been initially shocked, but
it hadn’t taken much to talk him into playing his part, especially when Ray
assured him that Amber would be directing things.
To tell the
truth, he was relieved about that as well. The only kind of threesome he’d ever
imagined himself being involved in featured two women, not two men. He didn’t
have a clear idea of how this all should go. Since it was Amber’s favorite
fantasy, he was counting on her knowing exactly how to choreograph the whole
thing.
They came
around the corner to find Cal standing like a deer in the headlights in the
center of the living room. God, maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all.
His cousin’s expression was strained at the least, his fists clenched, eyes
darting anywhere but at the two of them. Ray felt Amber’s resistant tug on his
hand and knew if they all stood around and thought about this any longer, it
wasn’t going to happen.
He quickly
pulled Amber into his arms and kissed her, using his tongue to plunder her
mouth in a way that was meant to reawaken the sensual woman who had just shared
his bed. For a moment she was stiff and self-conscious in his arms, but
gradually she softened and began to kiss him back. He dared to put his hand on
her ass and drag her shirt up just a little, knowing Cal would be able to see
the rounded globes of her lovely brown skin. He also knew that Amber would
realize Cal could see.
She froze
again.
“You’re so
beautiful. So sexy,” he whispered in her ear. “I can’t keep my hands off you.”
She stared
up at him, and he smiled at her and kissed her again. A small moan broke from
her throat as she responded, quivering in his arms. They all heard the sound.
Cal was watching them now, his expression avid. Ray moved his hands up her
back, dragging the shirt higher.
“Tell us
what you want, Amber.”
She glanced
over at Cal for the first time, and then closed her eyes. Her cheeks were
highly colored.
“Um, no
shirts.” He could barely hear her.
Cal
stripped out of his dress shirt in record time and flung it on the floor.
“What else,
baby?” He rained small kisses along her hairline as he massaged her back and
let the tips of his fingers brush across her naked ass. “Do you want Cal to
touch you too? Or just watch us?”
“Oh God. I
don’t know about this.” She started to pull away.
“I do. I
know you want it. We want it for you, baby. Come on. Relax and enjoy yourself.”
She nodded,
but then she dropped her gaze and just stood there motionless. Ray held his
breath and watched a storm of expressions cross her lovely face. Things were
not looking very promising. Suddenly she turned back to Cal.
“Come stand
behind me, okay?”
Cal circled
around them and took his place.
“Up
closer,” she prompted. “Now take hold of my upper arms.” She let out a gasp
when his fingers touched her arms. She glanced over her shoulder toward him.
“Tighter. So I can’t—escape.”
Cal’s hands
firmly banded her upper arms and pulled back so that her breasts made saucy
points against the fabric of the shirt. Ray licked his lips as Amber gave
another broken moan and closed her eyes.
“Oh God,”
she gasped. “Ray. Please. Touch me. Everywhere.”
Review:
Amber's fantasy was a scorching hot, quick read with a great HEA! I mean who wouldn't want 2 guys to please you in bed? Amber is a hard-working, prim & proper, business woman who likes to read hot menage books. Ray, the company's somewhat nerdy, but also hot, IT guy, discovers this while helping Amber out in her office. Can he, will he make Amber's fantasy of three come true?
I really enjoyed this book very much, I only have one very small, itsy-bitsy, teeny tiny, bit that I didn't like so much. Amber seemed very "hung up" about her attraction for a white guy. The first couple of chapters she was questioning herself about whether or not to take a chance because Ray was white. The way I see it... attraction is attraction...you can't tell your heart who you can be attracted to based on skin color alone. I get that the story was about a woman of color who had never dated anyone outside of her race, but it was not the main idea of the story, so although I agree it should have been touched on in the book just not obsessed over. Done with my bitch.
I liked the way Ray thought about Amber, he knew he wanted more than just one encounter, so he was torn about actually giving her the fantasy. Even though it was a quick read, it was a full story line, not just a jump in bed quickie. Amber & Ray were fully developed characters with a fully developed story to tell us.

Like most
writers, I've worn quite a collection of hats over the years ~ voice actor,
artist, bookkeeper, retail sales ~ but I've always wanted to be a writer. My
biggest dream was to see my name on a book cover. Now, with the advent of
e-publishing, the covers may be virtual, but the thrill of seeing my name on them
is real. I am so humbled by the idea that my stories might draw in a reader and
provide her an hour or two of entertainment.
I've been
married to my best friend Tom for thirty years. Together we've raised two
amazing sons, and recently welcomed our first grand daughter, Leona Mae. Most
days you can find me at our family's computer repair shop in a small town
outside Portland, Oregon. At night I go home to my rambling fixer-upper in the
woods and toil at my writing, assisted by a small menagerie of furry
assistants.
I love it
when a reader takes a moment to reach out and let me know what she thinks of my
stories. I hope you'll feel free to email me or leave a comment on my
website.
