It’s not a secret that Lauren Blakely is one of my favorite authors and I will read anything she writes. When I saw that she was writing a MFM novella I couldn’t wait to dive into this story. I have to say this story was smoking HOTTT!! The second chapter just about did me in. I loved that Lily wanted to fulfill her fantasies but not risk her relationship. I appreciate the way the threesome was handled and it had an authentic feeling to it as well. I can’t wait to read about the secondary characters that we are introduced in this book as well.

A quickie (read) filled with plenty of steam. This book is all about sexuality and knowing what you want and owning it... and not being afraid to ask for it. While the entire book is basically about sex and all the kinks, there is some sweetness in it as well, as the Hero is so in love with the Heroine and will do anything to make her happy, if only she asks for it. It's a quick moving story. Well written in a tasteful manner. Of course it is intended for mature readers.

Solid hot short story.
A soon to be bride wants a threesome but is afraid it will wreck her wonderful relationship. However her man knows what she wants and plans to give it to her.
Plenty of steam. Open discussion and it seems as if there is no dramatic fall out.

Lauren Blakely's After Dark collection is quite a bit steamier than her usual rom-coms, and she can absolutely bring the heat. This novella was short and quite the scorcher, and although it's outside of what I normally read, I'll always read anything Lauren Blakely writes since she one of my most favorite authors.

The Engagement Gift is standalone M/F/M novella by one of my favorite authors, Lauren Blakely. As you know, Lauren is a brilliant writer and can write any genre. Romantic comedy, erotica, sweet and sexy, steamy and every possibility in between. And now she's written this sexy as sin M/F/M romance. That's right, a ménage. A sexy, hot, filthy, romantic story. Finn wants to give his woman everything she desires in and out of the bedroom. Lily is sexually adventurous and knows how to ask for what she wants from her man. Except this. She wants a threesome, but she doesn't want to risk losing Finn. He knows what she wants, he just has to get her to admit it and he'll do whatever it takes to give it to her. He pushes her to confess what she so desperately wants. And it turns out they want the same thing. To give her pleasure. Make her scream. Finn's best friend is the right man for the job. They all trust each other. Being together isn't going to change who they are to each other. It's just one night of pleasure. One night of giving into their carnal desires. One night of everything Lily has ever wanted. This book is more than hot. It's scorching! I was on fire reading it and needed a cold shower, a drink and a cigarette when I was done. It may be a novella, but it felt like a full novel to me. Finn and Lily are in a committed relationship and Jake just added one night of spice to their life. There isn't cheating!! There's just love, trust, and sexiness. And we're going to see more from the secondary characters! Yes, please and Thank you!
“I want to feel amazing. To explore my fantasies. To say no when I want. To say yes to what I want.” She met my gaze, her blue eyes brimming with honesty. “To keep loving you.” She looked at Jake. “For you guys to keep being friends.” She raised her chin. “And for the two of you both to have free rein with my body. To make me come again and again.” I tugged at my shirt collar.
“Remind me again what exactly it was I requested?” I asked, playing along. Finn pretended to look at a receipt. “It says here you ordered two hot men to please you all night long.”

Holy Hotness!!
Finn and Lily are two incredible people who found each other and make each other better.
They share each other’s fantasies and he fulfills them for her. She has one that she is afraid to speak out loud because she doesn’t want to rock the boat…
When she finally speaks it out loud Finn has a gift for her.
Loved it! Great audio for this one. Perfection!!!
