Pirate's Booty By Ashley Ladd: When space pirates kidnap Princess Melena Androkova, thwart her peacekeeping mission and strand them on an uncharted planet, things can't get worse. After weeks alone with two sexy men, tenderness warms her heart and the hostile world becomes a paradise. Enjoying erotic dreams of both Keir and Zarod, not knowing they're a couple, she suggests the only sane solution in an insane world—a ménage. They may never leave this planet and what's a life without love—or sex? Once she accepts that lady makes three, she finds true paradise in her lovers' arms.
Prism By Nikki Soarde: Dax and Clay are happy. The sex is great. They've been in a committed, fulfilling relationship for years and see no need to change anything. Until they realize they've become a little too comfortable. They've fallen into a rut and need something to nudge them out of it. And then tall, raven-haired, exotic Sidney stumbles back into their lives. Fresh out of a painful divorce, she needs some comfort and excitement. When she seeks out her two best college buddies, she gets far more than she bargained for. They all do.
Twilight By Anya Bast: The dark, the light and one to merge them. Nico and Dai have searched for years for the third member of their Sacred Triad. Their combined energy released in a sexual ritual will drag their reality back from the Encroaching Darkness, a mystical force that threatens their world. Finally, Nico and Dai have found her. But Twyla has been emotionally damaged by an event in her past and has lost her magick. It will take all of Nico and Dai's deep love to help her overcome her fear and give her the sexual healing she desperately needs.
Nikki Soarde is a widely published author of erotic romance as well as mainstream romance novels.
Raised in a "progressive conservative" Mennonite home, Nikki had many issues and obstacles to overcome when it came to views on personal sexuality. Writing erotica played a very influential role in freeing her from many of those inhibitions.
She now writes contemporary, M/M/F and romantic suspense romantica. Her novels are widely published and have been translated into several languages.
Besides writing smut, she works at a hospital laboratory part time. She has been married to the same amazing man for almost 22 years, and has three incredibly smart, funny, intelligent sons to call her own. The first one is heading off to college this fall...and she is NOT going to cry. Much.
Prism - Nikki Soarde - 3 / 5 - Clay and Dax are already in a semi-monogamous relationship, but things are getting kind of boring and they’re increasingly irritated with each other. They need something to spice things up. Their answer comes in the form of a college friend, Sidney, who they haven’t seen in six years, but has returned from Paris after getting a divorce. They’re surprised at the mutual attraction and even more so that both Clay and Dax want her. So they sex it up. A pretty steamy little story. I love that this is a meange story with a bisexual male couple so there is a variety of MMF combinations going on. Definitely spiced things up a bit. This isn’t that great for characterization or depth of plot or anything, but for straight up smut, it’s pretty fun!
Twilight - Anya Bast - 3 / 5 - This is something of a fantasy story, as Nico and Dai are two mages who are seeking the female third of their sacred triad in order to join their magicks in order to prevent some encroaching darkness. They find Twyla, but she’d been brutally raped and nearly killed years ago and is not trusting of men. But she does warm up to them gradually and Nico and Dai do everything they can to seduce her gently. Pretty soon they’re having fairly nice threesome sex. The characters here were definitely in insta-love and their chemistry wasn’t particularly strong. I did sort of feel like their sex scenes needed some extra emotional punch, but they were definitely sexy. Too bad the whole deal with Marsten got pushed to the epilogue.
Pirate’s Booty - Ashley Ladd - 2 / 5 - A futuristic story in which Princess Melena is abducted by two space pirates, Keir and Zarod. The two men are already matched up and madly in love with each other, when Melena, who is stuck with them, decides she’d like to have a go at at least one of them. She starts a little love triangle, where Keir is actually unfaithful to Zarod and that’s where this story lost me. If I’m to believe that Keir and Zarod are a committed and loving couple, I can’t read about Keir kissing Melena and hurting Zarod with it. And then when she finds out that Keir and Zarod are a couple, Melena actually gets hurt that Zarod isn’t jealous that HE didn’t get to kiss her. I also had a bit of an issue with believability when Zarod admits that he’d never had sex with a woman, let alone been attracted to one, and he pretty much hits all of Melena’s sweet spots when he does finally have sex with her.

Multi author themed anthology. Same scenario [male lovers find a female to join them:] different settings - one futuristic, one contemporary, one fantasy. I found it a bit flat - lots of sex but little sexual tension. But that may just be me...
