Read in November, 2007

Those women who trashed Ben's Wildflower spoke too soon. They should have waited till this installment came out then they'd really have had something to talk about.

The writing throughout the series is already amateurish but I was prepared to let it pass, my expectations being so low as I'd mentioned. In Book 4, where there are 3 guys and 2 women, the entire series has degenerated to an incredibly ludicrous level.

Remy is in love with Cory but after they've battled through their troubles, Remy acts on his desire for Jenny who also has the hots for him. Jenny is Jake's wife who he shares with Cree (Branded By Gold, Book 1) and she feels bad about this so she has a chat with Cory. Cory is fine with sharing her husband with Jenny but I can't remember if Cory gets to share Jake and Cree who are still devouring each other like they'd just met. No wonder Jenny started looking to Remy.

Anyway, to say this book is a farce is being very generous. I was so darned relieved to come to the end of the story without reading that Jenny and Cory were doing it with each other.

I skipped Book 3 which was about Gabe and two other guys. No female in that one, I think. I couldn't read another Men In Love book after Completing The Circle. In fact, I haven't dared read another Carol Lynne even though she's been churning out several m/m stories.

You obviously haven't read the reviews from other readers that speak of the weird 5-way relationship.

I read the book (I agree it's not a great book) and the other review, it's just that nothing happened like you writed (what I pointed, Remy that acted with Jenny and the rest...). Maybe you writed you're review some week after reading the book and you forget about the details. Sorry if my comment sound harsh, I didn't writed it with that intention.

After your post, much as I hated having to reread these parts, I felt it was only fair to the author to check if I read it wrong, as you pointed out. So here's what I found:

Remy smiled and led Jenny up the stairs with his arm around her. Cory grinned after the pair. She could tell by the flushed look of Jenny’s face that she would indeed get her orgasm.

and also: Cory kissed him and nodded. This would be her first time ever with two men and she suddenly felt a little nervous, although thanks to Remy and her dildo she already knew what it felt like. Cree stood and fastened his pants enough that they would stay up before bending over and picking Cory up into his arms. “Get the beers, Jake.” Cree kissed her as he carried her up the stairs.

When they passed the master bedroom they heard snippets of Remy’s voice and Jenny’s moans. “Ahhh Jenny dat is a purty pussy. So soft. Ye let ole Remy touch dat purty pussy?”
At Jenny’s continued moans, Cree and Jake looked at each other with raised eyebrows and continued on to the guestroom.


and also: Just as Jake was getting ready to enter her from behind, they heard Jenny’s and Remy’s wails of ecstasy.

Ooh, there's more: In the wee hours of the morning Jenny kissed the man wrapped around her. She started for a minute then remembered her night with Remy. God, she hadn’t come that hard in months. Remy’s voice and intimate touches made her forget all about being a pregnant woman and took her to that place where she was just a woman. She couldn’t wait until after the twins were born so she could have him inside her.

May not be to you, but it sure sounds like sex between Remy (who's Cory's partner) and Jenny (who's married to Jake and Cree). And, btw, while Remy is getting it off with Jake & Cree's wife, Remy's wife/partner, Cory, is getting her jollies with Jenny's husband.

Now, I love menages-and-more but somehow this time it came across icky. Perhaps it was the inclusion of their wives or maybe I was turning off MMF by then and wanted only dick-on-dick action. I know I never wanted to read anymore MM that included a woman after this book.

Gwengwel Hello, It's seems that you misunderstand me. I do not contest that this book have a 5-some, it's that how you writed that it's happened that I contest. I read you comment before reading the book and it's let me belive a different book.

When you writed:

Remy acts on his desire for Jenny who also has the hots for him.
It's let me belived that Remy cheated on Cory with Jenny, when the first sexual interraction between the 5-some it's between Cory and Remy that have sex in front of Cree and Jack that have sex too at the same time. The first time Remy have sex (masturbation) with Jenny it's the idea of Cory.

Jenny is Jake's wife who he shares with Cree (Branded By Gold, Book 1) and she feels bad about this so she has a chat with Cory.
After the first sexual scene, yes it's Jenny that call Cory but it's Cory that feal bad and try to excuse herself.

Cory is fine with sharing her husband with Jenny but I can't remember if Cory gets to share Jake and Cree who are still devouring each other like they'd just met.
After the proposition, Cory talk with Remy about that and think one night about that (I agree that it's not a long time to thing about something that big, at least for me). And yes, Cory share Cree and Jake, together and separated on numerous occasion.

No wonder Jenny started looking to Remy.
It's Cory and Remy that first start looking at Cree and Jake with lust.

It's what I tried to say when I write that 'it's didn't happened like that'. Nothing more. Sorry for the misunderansting, it's was not my intention to make a big deal of that.
