Shameless Summer and Books!



Thanks to Jen at Red Hot Books, Brie at Romance Around the Corner & Michelle at Michelle's Book Blog for putting this on. Visit them if you don't already!



This shameless summer hop celebrates those white hot books that are favorites. You know, the ones that require a fan and a glass of something chilly when reading. As you can see above, the book I chose is one of my first. Learning How to Bend. It's a story of coming home, accepting things can't always be changed and finding rebirth in the midst of something rough. I love the threesome involved. Seth, Abby and Nate are like my friends. I love them and wasn't ready to let them go.

Their marriage is about to fall apart, but not if she can help it and he's willing to bend.

Abby Donovan imagined nothing could change her simple life as a librarian. Her loving husband Seth, a mechanic in the Air National Guard, is scheduled to return from a short deployment in Iraq. Before he gets home, a letter arrives. It seems Seth is asking for a divorce. She must decide whether to walk away without a fight or to wait and confront him with the thing he's always dreamed of - a ménage à trois. But all is not as it seems.

Seth Donovan wanted an idyllic life to go along with his career in the military. Then he sees the atrocities of war firsthand. A conversation with a colleague ends up as fodder for the rumour mill and so much more. Seth never wanted a divorce. He wants his wife. Will she accept him despite the rumours and advances from another man? Or can their relationship withstand the turmoil of war?


Who do you vote for your favorite threesome? Leave that in the comments along with your name and your email and you're in the hopper for the pdf of Learning How to Bend. I'd love it if you followed me on twitter, facebook, the blog, but I don't expect it for you to win. You do it because you want to.

The contest ends June 15th at midnight, so act now. I'll announce the winner right here on the blog on June 16th as well as I'll email the winner!

Jasper, Toby, and Zeus from Lynn Hagen's Zeus' Pack series. They're my favorite of all the threesomes in that series so far (course I'm madly in love with Jasper, but that doesn't make me biased or anything).


Also, pretty much any threesome by Joyee Flynn.

Can't remember the names of the characters, but it was a book by Emma Holly. I enjoy reading Menage, but one on one romance is my fav.

Erin, Todd and Ben from Laid Bare. I also like how Dane showed Ben and Todd having gotten closer in the last book since Todd was a little uncomfortable touching Ben in Laid Bare.
