review 1: I knew what was going to happen when I had barely started the book. Most erotica is like that, but the scenes in this book were HOT. She has menage a trois, and a menage a quatro. I liked the fact that she was a chocolatier, and for a trade show, she made chocolates into penis, with different colors, and a flesh colored one, she was quite proud of. She also puts herself into a stock, and waits for her Dom to come in and take her. He also puts a spin on the scene, by pretending that there are more men than himself with him. Opal writes scorching hot sex scenes, and all around good read (HA HA !) books. Recommend this book and all of Opal Carew books for anyone who loves BDSM, multiple partners, and lots of explicit sex scenes.
review 2: Summer owns her own
... morechocolate shop and makes chocolates in a small town. She's a bit insecure and she's really shy. She has two best guy friends (who are also best friends with each other) that she has massive crushes on but is too shy to make the first move.She ends up going with her friend to a sex convention where her friend is selling and signing her new released erotica novel and suggested that Summer make some chocolates that would match the theme of the convention. There she meets Max. And that's when her life changes. Max introduces her to the world of BDSM and how to open herself up more (literally and figuratively) and go after what she wants.From the start, the sparks between Summer and Max come quickly in the book and the weekend they spend together during the convention lead to a lot of BDSM then she leaves to go back home and though she's happy to finally home and see her two best friends that she's practically in love with, she can't stop thinking about Max. Though out the time that she is home and trying to pursue both of her best friends, she still keeps in contact and a few times, see's Max. I liked the friendship between Summer and her two best friend's prior to her pursuing them. After she did pursue them, I felt the book got a little awkward. The characters didn't have much (or any) of story line, there wasn't a back story to really anyone but Max. And after awhile, it kind of just felt like a porno, in a book. I might as well had started playing that funky tacky porno music while reading this book! It was so awkward that I started skipping the steamy scenes in search of some kind of story plot. But I didn't find one. So Summer is totally crushing on her two best friends for what, years? Max comes along, she's attracted to Max but still wants her two best friends so she finally gets both best friends who are just cool with dating Summer at the same time (and doing her) but she's still seeing/sleeping with Max and in the end she ends up getting engaged to Max which in my opinion was totally rushed through and not only does she get engaged to the one she cant stop thinking about BUT she also gets to still sleep with all three of them. At the same time. What the hell?!As much as I don't want to say this... this book was not worth the $10 I spent on it. less
