3.0 out of 5 stars
Very disapointed and frustrated!! Terrible ending !!, 6 May 2008
This book had everything to be a favorite, a keeper, but the end it's really horrible ( so much that i wanted to give it back to the store and never put my eyes on him again).
Anne and James are happily married, everything seems to be perfect, but it isn't.
Alex, is James best friend and when he arrives at their home , for the Summer,everything changes.Anne and Alex are atracted to each other from the beggining, and James doesn't seem to mind , but then things get more serious than they thought. It was supposed to be just a Summer fling, but it becomes something more powerful( something neither of them ( Alex and Anne )can resist.
Anne falls in love with Alex,but never stops loving James, Alex falls in love with Anne , but he also loves James and James loves them both; it's a mess but it could be simple; they already had a relationship going on and James gives Anne the opportunity to stay with them both !!
I loved the caracters, Anne, James and Alex, they are wonderfull. It's rare to see so much emotion on this genre, but i love when it happens, and that's why i was so disappointed !!This was my first book from Megan Hart, and the last one ; i don't want to repeat such experience of reading a book with do much pleasure and than endind it feeling so unhappy.
The end should have been different,if it was i would give a 5 star review.

Disappointing........., 18 Sep 2008
I read some negative reviews before buying, but thought I would get it anyway as I like Menage stories. This one did not have a true Menage, which was disappointing, but also, there was heartache as the newcomer felt that he had to leave, despite loving both the male and female leads. It seemed as if there were 2 separate couples, not a Menage-a-trois, with the hubby/wife vs wife/bestfriend. Yes, there was love, but it ended with a broken love affair and a marriage that needed work to mend it. Not a happy tale, and one I wished I'd never read.

Memorable, well written erotica, 8 Aug 2009
Back cover synopsis;
I had everything a woman could want...
My husband, James. The house on the lake.
My life. Our perfect life.
And then Alex came to visit.
The first time I saw my husband's best friend, I didn't like him. Didn't like how James changed when he was around, didn't like how his penetrating eyes followed me everywhere.
But that didn't stop me from wanting him. And, surprisingly, James didn't seem to mind.
It was meant to be fun. Something the three of us shared for those hot summer weeks Alex stayed with us. Nobody was supposed to fall in or out of love. I didn't need another man, not even one who oozed sex like honey and knew all the secrets I didn't know, the secrets my husband hadn't shared. After all, we had a perfect life.
And I loved my husband.
But I wasn't the only one.
I really can't understand why this book has been given such poor reviews. I can only surmise that it is due to the less than happy ending. This is not the kind of book that is all neatly wrapped up in the final chapter. There are no 'happily ever afters' here, Just uncertainty and a vague sense that things could go either way. I can understand how some people need that uplifting and hopeful ending, after all, we often read to take us away from such melancholy uncertainties.
Having said that, I thought that it was beautifully written. I have read other books by this author and she has an ability to make the story brutal in its honesty without seeming coarse. Her protagonists are always flawed, as we all are, and I found them easier to relate to and empathise with than the 'modern women' depicted in a lot of the books I've read. It was also one of the most erotically charged books I've read. It was very sexy without ever getting bogged down with the cliched, run of the mill romance book phrases and scenarios. I never felt that the sex was added just for the sake of it. Every encounter seemed well thought out and integral. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has become bored with unimaginative 'chick lit' (provided you don't need that happy ending). It is one of the very few books I have been unable to forget.
