Three

Shunned by polite society, the rich widow Lady Fiona Gilberte lives a hedonistic life of sensual pleasures. After being sold as a young woman to a wealthy and perverse nobleman, she has no love for marriage. Now having her pick of London's bestmen, Fiona sees little need for monogamy and has no trouble orchestrating her amorous affairs. All this changes when an out of control carriage ride leads to a chance meeting with the notorious rake, Lord Edward Delmar. As the sparks fly, their mutual attraction is palpable, but Edward does not fall easily into Fiona's bed. No stranger to Fiona's hedonistic world, Edward is not about to cede control. The couple discover exactly how well suited they are once they finally submit to each other. Unexpectedly finding even more than her ultimate carnal pleasure, Fiona wonders if she can risk her vulnerable heart. When sins of the past threaten her future, she must decide if she can trust Edward with her soul. Three plunged me into a world of sensual and often perverse delights. Fiona is a worldly woman who is completely comfortable with her sexual nature and free of taboos. Her fantasy and reality are both steeped in sex in all its many forms: men, women, multiple partners, voyeurism, toys, dominance, submission, and everything in between. She is the perfect match for Edward. Watching them battle for control is a smoldering hot, naughty adventure. Although not written in the first person, the story is Fiona's experience. I wish we could have learned more about Edward. I felt that the emotional part of his story was missing; I knew there was more to him. I could feel it! Nevertheless, I really enjoyed and respect their unconventional happily ever after. It was fitting and believable for this couple. Ms. Mack delivers a deliciously kinky read with much potential. I look forward to her next effort. Cheryl reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

This was a great book. It has a great story and if you are looking for an erotic book this one is hot.

I picked this book up never having heard of the author, and I was not dissappointed. Though the title 'Three' doesn't signify threesome, it's a really well written book with many interest catching stories spun by the book's main character. And as the back cover says... it's hot hot hot.

Lady Fiona Gilberte is London's most notorious female rake. Her reputation matters little when it comes to satisfying her hottest fantasies, sometimes juggling with three or more lovers at once. None of those men has captured her in a palpable way, especially not her late husband, the very sexual Bertie, until she meets Lord Edward Delamar. The lady has met her match when it comes to having an insatiable sexual appetite and a preference for the most outlandish erotic scenarios. She wants to impress him and dominate him in the bedroom, but it is he who ends up opening a whole unexpected life for Lady Fiona. But she cannot escape the ton and the damages a big scandal would cause when all of her secrets are revealed. Her discreet servants aren't as discreet as she once thought and she might have to abandon her Mayfair mansion and her life of nobility in order to find some real freedom. But will she lose Lord Delamar? There are some twists throughout the novel. There is a large variety of erotic scenes and fantasy roleplays that come mainly from Lady Fiona's erotic storytelling to Lord Edward and the things her service staff gets up to in their not-so private exploits. This is one of the sexiest, most erotic novels I have read in quite a long time! The narrative style is different and unique -- kind of like picturing an erotic or pornographic film take place while you read the different scenes, for said scenes are very graphic and involve different characters and scenarios. Lady Fiona and Lord Edward are great together and their story is romantic in a non-traditional sense. It definitely made for a unique story. I don't know the exact setting of this historical erotica, but based on the descriptions I assume this takes place during Regency England. This is erotica at its finest. Kensington has released a new line for erotica called Aphrodisia, which takes it several steps beyond what you'd read in Brava. Erotica for women has found a lucrative place in the literary world if so many publishers have added these new imprints. I for one am glad I'll have more imprints other than Ellora's Cave or Black Lace to choose from. I recommend Noelle Mack's Three. But be careful... This one's a sheet burner to the max!

In London, no male womanizer holds a candle to the hedonistic wealthy widow Lady Fiona Gilberte. Her looks alone guarantees any man who cherishes women would desire her, but she also can buy almost any male she wants to temporarily to share her bed as everyone has a price. Decadency is what Fiona lives for whether she controls one or more partners at her luxurious Mayfair mansion. When the queen of seduction meets the king of rakes Lord Edward Delamar sparks (and other body fluids) fly. Both are attracted to one another perhaps because they are the rulers of their gender used to the other sex bowing to their desires; neither will submit to the other, but both want one another. That is until he introduces her to world of silken bondage. Readers will not need Viagra with the sensual sexual stupendous THREE on hand (no pun intended). The story line heats up the sheets as few tales do when Fiona and Edward begin the sex contest that could turn into a win-win situation for both of them. Though obviously the adventures occur in the boudoir, the lead pair share more than just fulfilling desire, as the audience will realize that they each subtly seek much more, but expect much less. Noelle Mack provides a fabulous erotica romance. Harriet Klausner
