Laid Bare (Brown Family, #1) in Alpha Heroes & Spitfire Heroines

Apr 13, 2011 Simply Love Book Reviews rated it it was amazing

WOW!!!! My friends kept telling me how great this series was, so I finally gave in and moved it to the top of my TBR. This is a very, very, emotional, steamy, sexy book and MOST of all a book that shows menages are not all love and roses.

Erin is a rocker chic in lust with her clean cut, police officer neighbor Todd. Todd is in lust with Erin and is drawn to the fact he can bring out his kink with her. After two months of steaming sex Todd gets scared of the dark side coming out of him, feels it WOW!!!!

Erin is a rocker chic in lust with her clean cut, police officer neighbor Todd. Todd is in lust with Erin and is drawn to the fact he can bring out his kink with her. After two months of steaming sex Todd gets scared of the dark side coming out of him, feels it is inappropriate because he has been raised to always be gentle with women so he breaks things off with Erin and leaves the state.

Ten years later Todd comes back to Seattle to start over and this time he has accepted his dark side. Todd runs into Erin and the sparks fly. Todd is determined to win Erin back. Erin suffered a life changing traumatic experience and refuses to open her heart to love again, but she is 100% into letting Todd top her. Todd's business partner and childhood best friend, Ben discovers he is attracted to Erin, Todd and Erin invite Ben for a menage. A menage that changes all of their lives.

I LOVE Erin, her strength and uniquesness is amazing. Todd is sexy and a man who has no problem admitting his mistake by running away from Erin and the feelings she brought out in him. Ben...sigh....totally sexy, I wish I would've gotten a little more on Ben, he played a big role, but I didn't fell I got to know all of him.

I really liked the fact Ms. Dane didn't make this story where it was a perfect world after the 3 committed to a menage. I also love how she approached the fact that in a committed menage whether is starts off M/M/F or M/F/M all three's feeling get involved, as well as all three's hands, lips or other body parts. It makes it more believable to me, because to me if there is that much passion and love going on during sex, it would seem hard to not go with the flow. There is an element of BDSM in this book, but it is not heavily a part of it.

I put off reading this because it is a Penguin published book and I HATE the fact Penguin is price gouging on ebooks. HOWEVER, this book was so worth it. ...more

didn't expect to like it, since i'm not a big fan of menage. but the characters, reunion story, eroticism, all somehow came together and made this a very very good read. ...more
