Since the explosion of the erotic romance market, a lot of trends are in the ascendancy. To name a few, Ménages, Slash (same sex pairings) and BDSM stories are mega popular right now. Of the three I’ve mentioned, I must admit the first: Ménage situations, are the ones that most hold my interest.

Don’t get me wrong… I can enjoy a good Slash or BDSM if well written, but I speak only for myself when I say there is something darkly illicit about the idea of two (or more!) men totally focused on ME and my pleasure. Why? Well, because I don’t have that and in real life, and don’t expect to ever encounter the situation (personally).

An embarrassment of riches, perhaps, but I think I could survive the dagger looks of jealous women to be escorted on both arms by hunky, handsome men proud to lend me their elbows. And yes, I said elbows. What attracts me more is not the hidden, taboo aspect of that type of relationship, but the possibilities that are available to exploit.

What would the families of the triad members think? How would they react? Who marries whom? And once married, do they become adulterers? How would the three persons deal with jealousy? Is sex between two members okay or prohibited? A good story would deal with all these issues and speaking again, only for myself, a good story must also be about more than the sexual gymnastics.

Done right, it can be hot as fire, smoldering in the reader’s mind long after the file is shut down or the covers closed, but equally important to me is the banked embers of genuine commitment and loyalty to a relationship that makes a fellowship of three.

Which leads to the question of can it really be done? Can three cleave as tightly as two or will the love knot eventually turn into a tangled weave of explosive emotions? Who knows, but sometimes, I like to envision walking that fine edge of passion and adventure! LOL

Some of my characters have certainly done so. My changeling book AOEM (Agency of Extraordinary Mates): Dinner for 3, has two brothers looking for their perfect woman. Jonathon and Jason Corelli is really one person, magically split in two, so perhaps this is not a true triad, but Michelle (chosen before we had a first lady by the same name) enjoys the dichotomy, believe me! You can check out the ebook here: http://www.changelingpress.com/product.php?&upt=book&ubid=183 or the print book is available by order at any Barnes & Noble or Amazon.com.

In Melting Snowflake, Princess Snowflake is a woman blessed (or cursed) with three…count them! Three men vying for her attention; hot, steamy fiery men intent on melting her down to a puddle of satisfied woman. But make no mistake, she is definitely the one in charge. Whoohoo…. Is it hot in here, or is it just me? LOL Find out for yourself. The book is here: http://www.changelingpress.com/product.php?&upt=book&ubid=803

Anyway you slice the pie, in half or multiple pieces, it tastes as sweet. So why not throw a party and invite more than one friend? At least, in your mind’s playground, where there’s no cover charge and no need for condoms!

Enjoy!

Synopsis for Dinner for 3

Jonathan is a vampire who can walk in daylight and Jason is a wolf during the day and a man at sunset. What better place for the twin chefs to pursue their mutual pleasure for creating succulent meals than on Chimera Island, the resort that caters to unsuspecting human guests.

The twins enjoy sampling the pleasures of the human women who flock to the island in search of fun and games, but watching their friends find their forever mate (or mates) becomes depressing when the two brothers are left alone time after time. Their internal clocks might be immortal, but they can hear them ticking.  And then SHE arrives, and all of a sudden, both men find their appetites whetted by the juicy, plump chocolate confection named Michelle Rios.

When Michelle, an overworked vice president for a major software company, collapses at work and is rushed to the hospital, she is warned by her doctor to ease up or risk a fatal heart attack. Finding this out, her co-owners and friends demand she take some time off.

Coerced into going on a two-week get-away to Chimera Island, Chelle is prepared to hate every minute of her enforced vacation. But she is looking forward to meeting the two men whose careers she’d followed since they first burst upon the culinary scene and rose to the top of the food chain with blinding feats of epicurean genius before disappearing from public view.

Chelle is about to find out the house special on Chimera is a very unusual, highly spiced concoction of sexual delights, personally served by two hot chefs who like to sample the menu, themselves! What’s better than having your own private chef? Why, having two, of course!

Ding! Ding!

The dinner bell is ringing and three appetites are about to be fed.
