Kay's Review

This book is one wild pitch. When you read it you'll find out why.
Connie has arranged a one night stand for her best friend Nikki and an anonymous stranger. And according to Madame Eve the said stranger could be convinced to participate in a threesome. So the story begins.
When they first see Barrett, he is as attractive as any man-meat could be for a sandwich of forty-something year old ladies. He is young, athletically built and drip-dead gorgeous. Even convincing Nikki to participating becomes easy. Nikki who is still nursing the guilt of the death of her husband even after two years and hasn't been with another man since or even before. Her husband was her only love. So letting go and indulging in a night of abandoned sex is a little more difficult for her than for her friend Connie who is over the broken-heart of catching her husband with another woman in their bed.
But Barrett comes with his own baggage after losing out on a baseball contract. He immerses himself in drinking while waiting for the rendezvous arranged via Madame Eve. When Connie propositions him, his dark thoughts take a decidedly erotic detour.
I found all three characters to be well rounded. I enjoyed Connie and Nikki's friendship. Every woman should have a friendship like those two have. I mean, if you can share a man with your friend, then there's nothing between you two.
But I loved the connection between Barrett and Nikki more. From the moment they set eyes on each other, the air between them sizzled and I felt the tug of emotional as well as sexual attraction between them. They really were like two lost souls finding each other. The bedroom scene between the three of them in the hotel was beautifully erotic.
However I was kind of disappointed that Nikki ran. For one, it's such a cliched thing in romance, so Mills-and-Boon-y, especially if she's not the one to go back and explain why she ran. Secondly, she's the older one. Cougars are supposed to be more confident and know what they want out of life. That's why younger men find them attractive. Then again, I supposed her behaviour matches her character in a way.
All in all, I loved this well-written story. It is beautifully erotic and just the right length for when you are in between books or waiting for an appointment. I managed to read it this morning before sorting out the school run. I hope Connie get's her own story. Would like to know that she found love too.

Connie
Hollingsway had just found the meat filling for her hero sandwich. As far as
she was concerned, the man met all the requirements she’d requested from Madame
Eve, and he sat in the exact location where she’d been informed he’d be. Connie
cast a quick glance toward her best friend, Nicole Sullivan, and amended her
thought to, our hero sandwich. After all, she’d planned the evening
for Nikki, as she could use the diversion. Truth be told, so could Connie.
Bass from inane
techno music reverberated off the wood-paneled walls of the Cougar Cave. The
club buzzed with excitement, pulsating with the promise of sex and the certain
knowledge that one-night stands were the main item on the snack menu.
Connie’s gaze
slid back to the hottie sitting alone in a booth directly across from them. The
guy, in a word, exuded perfection. Ascertaining his age proved difficult under
the flashing strobe lights, since he sat underneath a neon sign for Budweiser
that cast a reddish glow over his stunningly gorgeous face.
She’d asked for
a ruggedly handsome male under thirty, and the hunk seemed to fit the bill. His
milk chocolate-colored, tousled hair had an I-just-rolled-out-of-bed
appearance. Sexy. Like most young guys, he had scruffy whiskers, but her keen
eye observed the delectable cleft in his well-shaped chin. Three empty beer
bottles and a half-full glass sat in front of him, and he waved to the waiter
for more.
A sly smile
curved her mouth. She’d been told, via e-mail from Madame Eve, that the “man
under the Budweiser sign” would be game for a one-night stand with an
older woman. Drunk enough, he might even be open and willing to consider
Connie’s shocking, but sensual suggestion. Warming Nikki up to the idea might
prove a challenge though.
Connie had been
about to speak, but the words died in her throat the moment he rose, shook off
his leather jacket, and hung it on the coatrack on the back of the bench seat.
Her mouth dropped in shock, but she quickly recovered. Taller than she’d first
imagined, he stood at least a few inches over six feet. A skin-tight black
T-shirt hugged his powerful physique. Tucked into a pair of incredibly tight
blue jeans, it showcased his torso to sculpted excellence. Denim strained
across rock-hard thighs, a muscular, ass and—her held breath whooshed out and
ended in a moan—showed off an impressive package. Man-meat was sharpened
into hardened precision, enough to rival the marble statues of Greek gods. Even
better than she could’ve hoped for.
She had to get a
closer look.
