I don't know what I expected from a book called Tempting Two and with that summary, but I dunno. I wanted more. I finished the book which automatically gets it two stars and there is a really well written confrontation that won it another . The book is well written over all, no major editing errors and was easy to read.
Exceedingly mild spoilers ahead:
The threesome in question doesn't come to fruition until the last quarter of the book. Plenty of spice before then but not in a way I enjoyed. While the men in this book are working to trick the heroine into falling in love with one of them, she is seducing them separately out of spite. Which, yaaas Queen, get your vengeance. But then those messy feelings get in the way and we go from sex as a weapon to secret keeping and ultimately I wanted an ethical polyamorous relationship earlier on in the book.
Eventually things come to a head. A confrontation occurs. Immediately afterwards the menfolk have decided to share. This felt incredibly abrupt and I feel like we could have used another ten pages at least to explore their feelings a bit better.
End of slight spoilers.
I would still recommend this books to people who are comfortable with very spicy but a little iffy on threesomes because while there were more than enough on the page sex scenes, the threesome element really only comes into play very late in the game.
