Emma Coolidge is accustomed to isolation. Born with the ability to read emotions, Emma reached adulthood without learning how to control her special gift, leading to a life of self-imposed seclusion. Until she meets Gideon Keel and Jesse Madding, a vampire fighting for good and his human lover. Both men befriend her and introduce her to people who can help her create a normal life for herself. Everything is great for Emma for the first time in her life--except for one small problem. She longs to be part of Jesse and Gideon's lives, and their darker games involving bondage and sadism, but believes her desire can be nothing but a private fantasy. Gideon adores Jesse and wants nothing more than to give him everything he wants. When Gideon realizes Jesse wants Emma, as well, he decides to invite Emma into their games. But a disturbing new crime distracts Gideon from his goal. Jesse and Gideon are forced to investigate a string of grave desecrations that are somehow siphoning power from the most powerful mage in Chicago. They must unravel the mystery of who is stealing Black John's power, why, and how to reverse it before they can devote their time and energy to their mutual desire for a third in their bed.

Some very sexy menage scenes in this book. I personally prefer vampire Gideon and side-kick Jesse as a pair without any female intervention. I identify strongly with this quote:
'Jesse stretched out on the couch with his books, with a heavy sense of deja vu. How many times had he tried to distract himself from personal chaos in books?'

This third book in the series was even more satisfying that the previous books!

The author does something that I appreciate...the building up of sexual tension between Gideon and Jesse. I love that when they are in the club we assume they are having a drink...until very slowly the author reveals to us the fact that Jesse is naked,collared and leashed!

The slow introduction of Emma Coolidge was so very intense and erotic! We had to wait..and wait..until..
It was the best menage a trois scenes I can remember reading about.
As always, there is also a good mystery to be solved. The new characters are well developed and other characters continue to unfold, especially as Gideon and Jesse continue to be sexy and hot! In bed and out.
It was worth the wait!
The next intalment is already ordered!

Again poor in plot but rich in sex.
The plot in this book's not really important and not really present. The proof? At the end of the book, we don't know who's the bad guy and his motivations. That's annoying when writer do that.
What's important it's how the new dinamic between the three principal perso's going to work. In this aspect the writer do a really good job. The incertitude, the passion, the fear of change, everything's well depicts and the new dynamic work, at least in my eyes.

Abbandonato all'inizio. Che peccato, il primo mi era piaciuto ma già dal secondo ho capito che non avrei più continuato :(
Mi aspettavo qualcosa di diverso.
Le storie M/M/F non fanno decisamente per me, ero parecchio curiosa all'inizio ma non ho apprezzato Gideon, Jesse ed Emma (per quel poco che ho letto) insieme.

You know what's weird? That I'm getting impatient with the sex scenes in what's essentially marketed as a porn book because the mystery plot line is just that compelling. Seriously - the supernatural mystery element is STELLAR in this one.

like usual this was a great read. I am totally in love with this series. I'll be honest I'm not sold on the idea of Emma joining in as their third but it doesn't take away from the story either so I can deal.

Out of some stupid impulse, I started reading this one, hoping it would maybe get better. It did not, and this is one of the few books I've had to abandon after just a few chapters. I just couldn't stomach it.
