Two ménage short stories from Maya Banks. Easy to read, though not all that challenging. Entertaining enough, with some predictable steamy interludes.
Stay With Me
Ménage on the rocks.
Three former college roommates and best friends (Catherine, Logan, and Rhys) take the next step in their loving relationship and marry. Although at first they don't have two nickels to rub together they're happy. All is well until a few years later when Rhys and Logan's fledgling business starts to take off and they...more

I both loved and hated this book, my feelings easily divided.
With the first story, Stay With Me, I thought the 2 guys reaped what they sowed and at some point hated all of the characters. Both of the guys were boorish, seemed to only do things that were in their benefit and not take in account their whole relationship. I can't believe that Cat put up with their crap for as long as she did. I loved that Cat left them and they didn't have a clue where she was, served them right. I thought that whe...more

Ms. Banks weaves bittersweet tales. Linger contains two stories, both a menage a trois. In Stay with me, Catherine is the lonely wife of two men. I always thought that having a spare husband would ease the time when the other one wasn't around. This story proved my theory wrong. This was a sad story of a wife taken for granted. She gives up hope. While this did end as a HEA story, I would have been just as satisfied if she left the two workaholic husbands.

Stay With Me: Committed menage a trois with Logan Wellesley and Rhys Cullen married to Catherine. Five years into the marriage, they have forgotten she exists except for occasional intimate encounters and plenty of forgotten commitments. Make-up sex lasts for a week but despite its intensity they quickly revert. She's a little too forgiving for my tastes and they need they heads knocked together but it was a beautiful poignant story.

Can anybody write simultaneous love and commitment with more than one man at time with the finesse that Maya Banks does?

Why did I read this book? As I've said before, the surest way to pique my interest in a book is for it to be banned or censored. This one was accidentally ordered for our young adult section (mistaken for the Stiefvater book, I'm sure) and caused quite the uproar. It was disposed of before I could even put a hold on it! Clearly, I had to get it and read it. And... yeah, definitely not a teen book. :D

This was a great book. "Stay With Me" was a different perspective on a menage relationship and I really liked that. Instead of the two men trying to bring the heroine into a relationship, the relationship was already established. It was a matter of keeping her after years of neglect to grow their business. And then "Songbird" was a amazing and heart-wrenching. I cried so much I had to keep putting the book down to dry my face. I realized immediately that I needed to wait for my family to go to b...more

[Also available on my blog.]
This was not quite as good as I was hoping it would be.
My copy of this (as I know there are other versions) has two stories by Maya Banks.
First, Stay With Me. This one was better than the other by far. I liked how Catherine interacted with her husbands, and I liked seeing them try to work through their problems. The two men needed to fix things, as they had made several missteps in the marriage, and I think they did a pretty good job at making up for it by the e...more

Book contains 2 stories - "Stay with me" and "Songbird".
I would rate "Stay with me closer to 4 stars but "Songbird" would be more like 3 stars.
Both stories are enjoyable to read, quick to the chase, and delightfully raunchy. If you are wanting a light, easy read with some erotic, menage a trios - then this is the book for you :)

I've recently discovered Maya Banks, and I'm so glad I did! She brings an emotional intensity to all her stories that I'm such a sucker for. This book contains two separate stories, and I found myself going back to passages to reread portions after finishing the book.
Two decent menage stories. Not as sexy as I expected. I liked the second one more, mostly because the menage aspect was new to all of them, even the brothers. Heroine was a wimpy girl, though. Not a keeper.
I don't know if it's my mood or what, but these just didn't do it for me. Strange, because I usually adore Maya Banks.
Very good 2 short stories. Liked them both and wish there were more.
Not as good as some of her other books. But not horrible, either.
This book was good! Very dirty lol!!! totally a must read!
Like some readers of this double book, I enjoyed "Stay with Me" but "Songbird" was a "so-so" book for me. I wished the author had delved deeper into how the brothers came to their decision to be with Emily after rejecting her to begin with. I think it would have enriched this story tremendously to know the process that the brothers went through to share Emily with each other since it was not something that they had ever done before.
Hmmmm, this book was a little 'out there' for me.
3.5 stars
Maya Banks writes very romantic and good threesome relationship fiction! The sex is very sexy as it should be and she does a good job of making the relationship in there sweet and loving and not all about the sex. I liked the Stay with Me story a bit better but they were both good. If you like a girl getting spoiled by two men in and out of the bedroom, read it!
Just so you know, this is a great book. Two stories in one. When you read this, make sure you have plenty of tissues. I cried a lot during my reading of this book. It is so worth the read. I highly recommend.
Stay With Me
4 stars
I really liked this story but found it extremely hard to believe that these highly sexual guys didn't touch their wife for 3months. Besides that, i liked it.
