Summary: A Very Senual Read!! Emma Holly Is A Great Storyteller!
Review: This is without a doubt a book that falls under the sub-genre Erotica. With that said I would like to point out that although the sex scenes are hot and plentiful they by no means cheapen the storyline. The characters are great and the storyline is also very entertaining. Emma Holly is without a doubt a very talented and gifted writer and one that I highly recommend if you like your romance reads steamy, hot and uninhibited.

Summary: Erotic at its best!
Review: I must say this is one of my favorite erotic books. Emma Holly did a great job of telling this story. She definitely delivers a great read in this book. I'm not sure that I've ever read another book that was able to weave the threesome scenario into the story quite as well as was done in this book. You are able to bond with the characters and actually understand their points of view. The sex is great and not "raunchy" as it can sometimes be. If you have an open mind and are willing to explore this is a wonderful book for you. I think the title was also released again more currently so you could check out that one too.

Summary: My, my, my...Talk About Erotic Bliss!
Review: This was my first contemporary erotic romance book, and my, my, my, thank you Ms. Holly! I would categorize this as learning a little something about foreplay or bedplay for men versus the usual sensual focal point, after finding true love, being for the woman's gratification and arousal in a romance novel.

This was an unconventional way I learned a lot about sensitive, poignant hot spots for men other than the obvious - being that I gained my insight through a ménage trio (two men and a woman) romance book. I was so intrigued; I actually researched a lot of what Emma Holly described as sexually arousing for men and surprisingly found several of her `procedures' confirmed by well known, reputable sex/relationship advisors. There was one scene with an additional couple (male and female), but they were more so involved with setting the ambiance for the trio and being onlookers rather than participants in a ménage cinq (five) with everyone having sex with each other - an orgy. Although the three main characters quickly jump into bed together, they immediately make a commitment to each other; to only have sex amongst them until the relationship dissolves - when Joe follows his acting career to New York.

Believe it or not, this is a very good romantic story in which three people unrepentantly and expectantly fall in with each other; an older woman, Kate (who prefers masturbation to meaningless relationships with men she doesn't really desire) and two dynamic younger men (one aggressive dominant bi-sexual who prefers men (Sean) and the other a gentler considerate bi-sexual (Joe) who prefers one woman - Kate). Given the number of sex scenes, their stamina was incredible; while the scenes themselves were quite ingenious and erotic.

Sean and Joe's creative role playing was very entertaining at times. I'm not into spankings / whips and bondage; however, Kate's quick wit and spontaneity in even this one instance really turned the tables on bad boy, always needing to be in control Sean and added extra depth to the success of their remaining "fantasies" in the long run. Kate's maturity and ability to read into her roles during various scenes, helped Sean and Joe confront deeper emotional weaknesses and disappointments from their pasts.

All and all, this is NOT for the squeamish, nor the politically correct, traditionally descriptive sexual encounters between lovers. It IS for those who are open-minded and ready for a romantic read on the realistic wild side - forbidden sex.

Summary: Good Story, Interesting Characters, Great Sex Scenes
Review: I've been reading erotica for a long time and Emma Holly's "M?nage" is one of the best I've read. She creates characters that I care about, while including descriptive inventive sex in her story, as part of her story. What separates porn from erotica is that with erotica there is character development and plot, and while most erotic novels out there don?t descend to the level of Forum, they don?t give us real people who have emotional connections when being sexually adventurous. I really liked Kate, Joe, and Sean as a couple and understood why they would want to be together, beyond the obvious. Emma creates characters that I care about, while including descriptive inventive sex this is erotic and romantic.
