The Engagement Gift by Lauren Blakely
5.0
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.”
