For those of you that know me... and those that don't this is my little statement about short books.... I do not judge short stories on the rush of their relationships, because they are just that - short stories. So, yes the relationships always could have been drawn out more, yea it seems like they fall in love to fast and of course the story could have been made longer... but it is a short story. So with that said.... here is my review...

My Cristal is a new to me author and this was my very first story by her. And I am telling you know... that this will not be my last. So yes, that means I will be bugging the shit out of her for more stories!!!

Wow... Right off the bat, we meet a wonderful couple ~ Brian and Kelly. This couple that is so sure of their relationship, so in love with each other and so incredibly hot for each other it practically drips off the page... Oh that might have been other things dripping (LMBO ~ curious).

Brian and Kelly decide to take a break from the demands of normal life and take a little trip to a resort. Nothing special, just some time to reconnect. You know what I mean... The stress of the daily grind, the demands of family and friends... The craziness of life and whatever it decides to throw at you and your better half. Needing time for each other is just as important as having "me" time. And this couple rates their each other time very important. And after this story... I want some too!!

This story does not go to the dark past of each character (it only hints at it a little), it does not give more information than is needed for this story. We are settled with the couple, we know they would cross seas and walk across fire for each other. That in itself was nice to see. They are not married and that was kinda refreshing. I mean, seriously... if you were not married right now... would you be living with the person you are with right now?? Just a thought... anyway...

I actually enjoyed Ms. Cristal's story telling. Hell, she made me feel the steam of the hot tub, the chill of being outside and the relaxation while Kelly was at the spa for the day. She painted a very vivid picture and not just in one scene... in the whole damn book she did that. Like I said... you will feel the dripping of the sweat, the aching of your body and you will feel the lust building in your system. Ms. Cristal did an awesome job at painting a very erotic picture.

I also feel I need to say that Ms. Cristal ROCKED my f/f world. For those of you that know me, know I love f/f just as much as I love m/f and m/m books... But the few f/f books that I read left me kinda blah... I did not feel the passion, I did not feel the build up, I did not feel the true emotion behind the women. Ms. Cristal blew all other books I have read out the park. Her style of writing f/f was just **applauding** phenomenal!! I can't say enough how much I truly enjoyed reading about the journey of this couple and their friend.

I know I did not tell you much about the book, but I think the title will tell you more than a review would. And knowing that it contains a couple and a fantasy... well... let's just say I know you read... so let's use your imagination. This book is not a romance book. Yes, my couple is totally devoted to each other and would move heaven and earth for each other. But this is not your typical romance, love story. It is one hot, desire laced, fantasy filled book. I can promise you once you are done reading this.... You may have your own No Fantasy Required night with your significant other.

Oh and did I mention Ms. Cristal has one of the most erotic hot tub scenes I have read... lately!!!

What happens when you bring a third person into the bedroom?

I’m still easing my way into the world of ménage and multiple partners—discovering and invading my own comfort zone—but thus far, the bulk of what I’ve read has pleasantly surprised me. This book, however, ranks currently at the top.

You have Brian and Kelly, who are deeply in love. The level of trust they hold for each other is thick and palpable. The story opens on a discussion over dinner about a secret fantasy both harbor—something they have discussed in the past, but never explored. Neither could have predicted their conversation would be overheard, particularly not by someone eager to experience the fantasy with them.

I think what I liked best about “No Fantasy Required” was the level of realism the author interjected. Kelly has always wanted a threesome, but experiences misgivings that have her questioning whether or not fantasy should meet reality. What if Brian liked their third bedmate better? What if she became overwrought with jealousy? What if he became overwrought with jealousy? Would this change their relationship for the worst? This attention to the sensitive nature of dividing affections between partners was, really, what made the book for me. And, of course, the sex scenes are hot as hot can get.

This is a spicy read with a lot of rich emotion. I very much recommend it.

I thought this was a realistic telling of a committed couple's experience bringing another person into their relationship. The story was told from the perspective of the committed woman, and I think her reactions to everything, the questions she was asking herself, are exactly the kinds of questions a woman would normally ask in that situation. I wouldn't say this was the most smokin' book I've read, but it was steamy.

This is a wonderful story of love and sexual exploration. I loved how he supported her and gave her confidence when she was in doubt.

A very HOT short read that leaves all parties satisfied! Very well written and left me wanting more! I love how Kelly actually has reservations about giving into her fantasy and asks questions that real people would (or should) ask in that situation. Further, I love how Brian supports Kelly completely in life, love, and fantasy-land, and how Tauni respects their relationship. And did I mention it was HOT? =)
