Echo Effect

by Mack Landry

My harem is one girl larger as we retrace our steps up the mountain.

My colleague Bea invited me on a hike, and after learning about my harem, she still wants to meet. All four of my girls encourage me to follow my gut, so we’re driving to the lake again. The pull of Bea’s presence fells like a sign, even as old loves echo in my memory. Ripples of anticipation build, remembering what happened at the artesian well that knitted us together.

With Ginny feeling safe in the back between Leah and Paige, I relax in the passenger seat as Amy navigates into the rugged Cascades. These effects of fate don’t feel like deja vu; they may be reflected echoes of our shared destiny.

My girls want to start a family, and I’m beginning to believe we already are one.

Kurt Landry encountered the magic of the mountain and how it drew his past classmates together and connected them into a tight, fully committed Poly-group. After a week of real-life work, the Echo of the mountain draws 2 more beautiful ladies into the Poly. Fast Paced, and mystical, Echo Effect defies any attempt of the harem to understand it, and they agree to relax and just live it!.

In Echo Effect, the woman Kurt met at his final training seminar, Bea, comes to date him and decides to join the harem.

I found the title of this installment of the series to be apropos as Kurt is largely repeating the “induction ceremony” of a new woman into his growing harem. Stated so bluntly it sounds rather seedy, but in the context of the growing web of feelings within the group it is anything but. And despite not knowing each other for very long, the connection between Kurt and Bea feels very real.

I took issue with the previous book over what I felt was a disconnect between Kurt’s difficulties with retirement and the ease with which his harem was growing. This book does a much better job of presenting the realities of a fifty-something year old man building a poly relationship with five younger women. Exciting—definitely, hot—without a doubt, but not without its challenges both physical and emotional. For me as a reader it’s so much better when it feels real, and this does.

I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading where these characters take us and how Landry moves the series to its conclusion.

This is the fifth book in this series. A continuation to the saga about Kurt's harem.
With so many lovers how will he ever keep up? This series (and this book) actually have some plot not just "wham bam thank you mam". Now don't get me wrong there's plenty of hot sexy scenes, there's MF FF MFF+ a little something for everyone. The scenes are all very loving and there is really no abusive talk or sex.
I really enjoyed this episode of the series and am looking forward to more. BTW I think most women would just pass by these sort of stories but this is written in a way I really think the ladies would love it too.

With a growing harem of lovers, our hero has his hands full, but they are worth every ounce of effort he invests in the group.

This is book five of the series. It does okay as a standalone, but will be much more enjoyable if read in order. Your call.

This is a short erotic story featuring second chances and a harem. The story is well written and easy to read with a simple plot that actually makes a really nice compliment to the steam. It is nicely done and lots of fun. I quite enjoyed this story and look forward to more from this author.

Highly recommended.

Kurt and the family are off to meet Bea at the lake in the Cascade Mountains. They meet up for burgers and the women seem to hit it off. Read this book to see what happens when Kurt and Bea take their walk, where they end up, and what happens when they get back to Amy’s lodge.

Five stars. Good story!

Loved the 5th book in the Cascade Mountain Harem series. Kurt's harem continues to grow. Great steamy writing and interesting storyline.

Rushed

The story has been good so far, but this one felt insanely rushed. Also WAY too much metaphysical and spiritual stuff. No need for 25%+ of the book to be discussions on spirituality.
