Bedding the Bachelors

review 1: This was story of Melina, best friends with twins, fancied Rhys but was closer to Max. At age 14, she was called Ladybug by Rhys (pet name) & she saw differences in them & according to narration - strangers saw the differences too.The twins like magic & years down line are magicians (no surprise there). Melina has had lovers, who say she is rubbish in bed so she decides to sleep with Max & get feedback. But instead of Max, she sleeps with Rhys instead having been set up. Yet, she seems to have somehow suffered amnesia as by now she doesn't realise it's Rhys, despite knowing the differences in the twins.I was bored by this predictable plot, thought Melina shallow, gullible in believing what her "lovers" say about her bedroom activities & so unbelievably stupid not realising... more who she was sleeping with.I am glad it wasn't a long story as it would have put me to sleep. No magic in here, unfortunately.
review 2: This was free on iTunes under a different title, "Bedding the Wrong Brother", which was an awful title. I like "This Magic Moment" better. Cheesy, but at least it doesn't have a tinge of twisted infidelity.Great opening chapter. After it ended I already cared about and was interested to find out what would happen to the trio. I have a soft spot for smart, chubby teenagers growing up and finding their inner sex goddess (ahem!), and was always into the twin brothers thing (mmm Taggerts), so I was hooked. However, after the hotel bedroom scene (the best chapter of the whole book. You could feel the years of sexual tension/attraction between them, and I like how this doesn't shy away from using grown up words. None of that "manroot" or "her womanly folds" business) the writing could have used a bit of tightening up. The lake house scene left me bored. Melinda is, understandably, emotionally scarred from her insensitive dickhead ex-boyfriends, but she would overthink too much and several times she would get visibly worked up and tense. Lady, Kalm Yo Tits and just go for it. And Rhys, WTH, if you had a few days to win over the girl of your childhood and adult dreams, why waste a few hours sanding a mantle? Then the phone call with mom. Unhelpful would be an understatement. Realistic, yes. My own mom is an ace at these The decision is within you answers. But it does nothing to tilt Melinda into making a decision, only leaving her more confused, and I felt frustrated by that. Okay so maybe it was a neat trick after all, because it affected me,Plotwise, by way of climax, there was the common, almost typical McNaughtian misunderstanding (uh-oh, someone poked at the other's biggest insecurity) turns into fight, one of them runs away, anger melts into rumination leading to epiphany, then eventual reconciliation. Plus point though because thank God he said the L word first. The epilogue was satisfactory, as their problem of making lifestyles meet was neatly solved. It also sketched out the pairings in the next book, and based on the archetypes (Lucy + Jamie: sexually empowered woman + stuck-up guy. Max + Grace: reformed womanizer + She's A Lady. Clearly we're banking on the Fire and Ice combo here), looks like it's going to work. What keeps these stories from becoming too formulaic is that the characters are fleshed out such that you feel that they could be your friends? And the ladies here ate a lot of ice cream, so, yum, how is that for vicarious enjoyment? So I kept reading this one, and would read the rest. less
