Quickie Review - A Sibling Menage that Didn't Squick Me Out!


From the author's website:
Jaci Wright has been running from Cameron Falladay, for seven years now. Fears of the desires he arouses in her, and the knowledge of the relationship he wanted with her spurred her to run, to find a life that kept her traveling the globe and out of his reach. His and his twin brother’s.

But now, life has come full circle. A new job has placed Jaci in the Sinclair mansion with Cameron and his brother Chase. And Cam is tired of waiting. It’s hard enough to face accepting a relationship with Cam, knowing what he wants, but having the world know her lover’s brother touches her as well fills her with dread. Gossip, rumors and the tattered tales of juicy secrets fill the society she now moves within. Can she face the world knowing she’s a lover to both men, or will her hesitancy and her fears destroy her chance of
happiness forever.

I grabbed this book because I was in the mood for menage (heh). I read the back blurb and thought it sounded good - obviously I didn't see the word "brother" or you know I would have kept on going. I think my squeamishness at sibling menage is pretty well documented.

Jaci Wright has taken a job designing an exclusive club for her friend Courtney's husband. As it turns out, her hometown crush and his twin, Cam and Chase Farriday, work for Courtney's husband. Cam plans to make Jaci his, he's not letting her get away again like she did seven years ago. But Jaci's older now, and she has secrets that she's not ready to share. Cam wants to protect Jaci, but how can he if she won't tell him what happened in her past? Jaci won't share with Cam if he won't share with her - what happened to him all those years ago? What hardened him and changed him into the man he is today?

Turns out Ms. Leigh wrote such a great story that for whatever reason, the fact that Cam and Chase were twins (Twins Basil!*) didn't bother me! This book was steammmmy! I think it's part of a series (although not the first book in the series), and I'd definitely be interested in reading more.

  1. Yay for twins. :-D I'm not sure if your twins touched but that seems to be the only kind of sibling relationship that I can read about. Boy/girl or sibs of different ages always seems squicky to me, but something about twins and their connection seems more acceptable (in my fantasy mind).

  7. Tam: No, they don't touch - they each handle different stuff ;)

    Chris: I know! By the time I realized it was twins I was already invested in the story!

    Hannah: Consider it done.

    EH: Yup, now I want to read more of her stuff :)

    Blodeuedd: Usually if I see siblings I put it right back on the shelf - this time I wasn't paying attention. It turned out okay though :)

    KC: Yeah, I could see how that storyline wouldn't work for you, LOL. Honestly, it doesn't work for me either, which is why I'm so surprised I liked this book.
