This is very heady material and wow. The love triangle, its what we all want and I lived the part as I read it. We must have more, lots more from this lady. My husband bought me this book along with 100 Percent Erotica by Suzie Van Aartman, for my birthday and after reading them both I can honestly say it spiced up our love life immensly. I can feel myself blushing when I think of our valiant attempts to recreate the scenes from the books. Just thinking about it makes me need to change my underwear. Sorry if I sound a bit forward, but wow, its awesome. Highly recommended.100 Percent Erotica

Popular e-book author Maya Banks brings her imagination and writing skill to the mass public with her very first NY release, For Her Pleasure! Readers of digital books have long had a place for Banks on their auto-buy lists, and it is very exciting to see a writer whose work you admire so much advance to the next level in their career. I have no doubt that the fans born of this new publication will soon be searching out her previous works while awaiting her next NY release. In this collection of three connected stories, Banks does what she does oh so well - ménage. The first two stories focus on the same three characters, and their evolving relationship together. The third story sees these three in a supporting role as a character we met in the second story stars as the heroine, introducing a new male lead as her hero. ~What She Wants~ Kit, Mac, and Ryder have been best friends since they were kids, but as they matured into adulthood, they began to want more from each other. Kit knows her two male friends have long indulged in that most erotic of female fantasies - ménage, with both men pleasuring one woman. She dreams of experiencing sensual heights with the only two men in the world she will ever trust. Mac and Ryder are all too willing to give Kit what she wants, but Mac wants much more from Kit than she is prepared for... The first story in this collection kicks it off with a bang! Not only do we have some pretty explosive love scenes between Kit, Mac and Ryder, but the story is rife with suspense and danger as Kit is stalked by the man who raped her just six months earlier. As policeman Mac and bad boy Ryder work as a team to protect her and uncover the identity of her attacker, the attraction between Kit and the two men ramps up to a fever pitch. In addition to the intense sexuality in this story, Banks infuses a hefty dose of love as two friends finally admit what they've really felt for each other all of these years. ~What She Needs~ Kit and Mac are finally a couple, with their best friend Ryder joining them for the occasional threesome. But having taken a step back to allow Mac and Kit to be together, Ryder now realizes his feelings for Kit lean more towards everlasting romantic love than the simple friendship he thought before. While he doesn't begrudge his friends their happiness, he finds it harder and harder to be near Kit and not be able to claim her for his own... Just when we think the story of this threesome is finished, Banks returns to it immediately showing the aftermath of what happens when Mac and Kit's relationship turns serious and Ryder begins to realize he feels more for Kit than even he ever suspected. His anguish is very real as he tries to do the right thing and step away from his friends so they can be happy together. But as he backs off, the pain he causes both of his friends is more than they can bear, until they all realize they must find a solution that can make them all happy for the long

For Her Pleasure

What She Wants: Kit Townsend, Travis `Mac' McKenzie, and Ryder Sinclair have been friends since childhood. What started out as friendship within the triad has turned into more, at least for Ryder and Mac. Kit wants to commit herself to a relationship with the only men she trusts, but is frightened by the intensity of the feelings they arouse in her. When she is once again the victim of a vicious, unknown attacker, Kit has no choice but to allow Ryder and Mac into her private life and into her heart. With these two men beside her during the day and loving her at night, safety and pleasure are hers for the taking. What She Needs: Mac and Kit have formed a solid relationship with each other and look forward to the times Ryder is with them solidifying the love they have for each other. Kit, however, is anxious and finds herself reluctant to commit wholeheartedly to Mac. It seems that not only does she want to spend the rest of her life with Mac, she wants to do it with Ryder as the third player in this game of love. Will Mac be able to accept Kit's need to have Ryder as a part of her life? Kit hopes so because she is unable to let Ryder go. What She Craves: Two long years ago, Mia Nichols gave herself fully to the only man she has ever loved; Jack Kincaid. Giving him the gift of her body completely, Mia had visions of forever only to find out two days later that the man she thought she knew, the man that had been her protector and savior since she was sixteen years old, left her without a word or thought. When he walks back into the hell that her life has become, Mia wants no part of him. Jack decides then and there that while he might not be the best man for Mia, he will be the last man for her and goes about proving just that fact to Mia. Break out the fans because this anthology, For Her Pleasure, is hot enough to make even the coolest reader sweat! I don't think I have yet recovered. Maya Banks has woven three interlocking tales into one blazing anthology that I was unable to stop reading, not to mention stop thinking about. What starts out as friendship between these players, becomes so much more in each enticingly beautiful tale. In "What She Wants", Mac and Ryder quickly won my heart with their unconditional love for Kit and I anxiously awaited Kit's decision. Knowing with a heavy heart that I would have been unable to choose between the two men, I applauded her choice and her guts in making the decision she did. Jack Kincaid, on the other hand, was a bit tougher for me to love. His treatment of Mia at her most vulnerable was very heart wrenching to read but alas, I can admit to understanding his reasons. His making up to Mia for hurting her actually made me squirm he was so relentless in his seduction. In fact, visions of naughty Texas rangers fill my head and that is all right with me. For Her Pleasure is the ultimate in pleasurable reading. Enticing, enchanting, and sinfully sensual, I couldn't have asked for a b
