Synopsis:
Emma is on a ski trip with her husband, Grayson, and his best friend, Derek. Being a bit of a kinky couple, Grayson offers Emma as a Christmas present to Derek. Wrapped in a bow and tied up with string, Emma and Derek dive head first into something these three have only fantasized about. 

Review:
After tentatively picking up and loving Pucking Around by Emily Rath, I'd been looking for another fun and super spicy RH romance. This isn't technically RH, but it certainly hit the spot anyway. And maybe awakened something? Good lord above, if only my husband had a handsome and charming best friend who was obsessed with both of us... Okay, moving on! 

I seriously enjoyed the dynamic between Emma, Grayson, and Derek. Emma and Grayson are so secure in their relationship, they clearly respect one another, and they aren't afraid to push the envelope when in comes to the bedroom. Derek adds a slightly brooding, yet still hunky and lovable component to the mix. 

This book is essentially all spice, somewhere between serrano and habanero, so if that's not your pepper jam, I'd skip it. But I LOVED it. There was a little more sword crossing than I typically read, but honestly, I was kind of into it. I wish the dynamic had been a little more MFM than MMF, but that's just my personal preference. And I did enjoy the scenes where Emma was basically just *looks at notes* a wet hole for the men to enjoy. Pardon my French. Like I said, I've been awakened. 

The only thing that would've made this reading experience better is if I'd been on a snowy winter vacation in the mountains. Not to ski, but to sit by the fire with some mulled wine and read some smut.
