I’m going to broach a subject that – I hope – won’t offend anyone who may have personal experience with this. I was reading reviews on a book site I frequent and was so drawn by this glowing review that I looked on Amazon to see if I could get the first book in Lauren Dane’s Brown Siblings series. I picked it up for my Kindle app and actually got – surprisingly – totally caught up in it. I say this is surprising because it’s not a paranormal romance. No, this is is straight up regular people. No vampires or Werewolves to be seen!
I should have, however, read the rest of the review and checked it out on Goodreads because, truth be told, this one falls more in the erotica category. (I mean, they were getting down to it within the first chapter!)
Now, while that’s all fine and dandy, it tread the waters of menage. As I read further into the relationship between Erin and Todd, I bought into their interesting connection. But when Ben enters the picture, I found myself calling bullshit. Maybe I simply haven’t read enough to know if this is believable or not but I just can’t buy into the triangle. Especially after Todd and Erin get married.
I don’t understand how two people can be dedicated to one another and then just invite someone else aboard. How does this work without making anyone feel like the odd man out? I’d like to believe that there would be no jealousy factor but in real life, I don’t see it ever working out. Of course I have no experience with this and no matter what kind of fantasy it may be, I wouldn’t allow it for one second.
As this book started ironing out the kinks (lol) in their threesome, especially once the two got married and all, I found I was skimming over the conversations they had with each other about it being OK. It wasn’t how I imagined those discussions to go and it bothered me. This makes me sound so close-minded and I don’t feel like that’s the case. My roadblock is that I can’t fathom how this would logistically work without at least one broken heart.
If you have ideas on this, please feel free. I’m totally baffled.

Not happening at my house. I never liked to share my toys, much less share my man.
For traditionalists (such as myself) this is a strange phenomenon to comprehend. Actually imagining this happening seems incomprehensible, but in reality some people live that kind of lifestyle. And even if they don’t, some people simply have that fantasy and while they might never put it into practice in real life, it’s what floats their boat in their imagination when they are gettin’ it on. 🙂 That doesn’t happen to be my cup of tea, but for some people that is their turn on.
Of course my current Kindle app book selection is Little Women, so what I can I say? 🙂
Little Women IS definitely traditional. 😉
