Faced with financial hardship, Nila Black accepts an unconventional solution by becoming a kept woman through Naughty Girls, Inc. Her client Josh is blind due to unfortunate events and is in need of sex with no strings attached. Josh's best friend Richard serves as a foil. When Richard and Nila meet the necklaces they wear begin to heat and they feel instant attraction to one another. Unfortunately, Nila is Josh's kept woman. Will their instant attraction create a gap between Josh and Richard? Is lust worth the loss of a friendship? Or are the necklaces trying to tell Richard and Nila that what they feel is more than mere lust?No Commitment Required is a story that had an intriguing story line worthy to be used in any soap opera. The charm necklaces that Nila and Richard wore provided the perfect foreshadowing of these two main characters eventual relationship. I would refrain from calling this romance but erotica as it had incredibly graphic sex scenes beginning in the first chapter and very little romance between the two characters. This did not deter me from the book and actually made up for other short comings. One of Marilyn Lee's strong points is the ability to write a phenomenal sex scene in my opinion.No Commitment Required by Marilyn Lee is one of several books I have read by this author. However, this book didn't have the same luster that Ms. Lee's other books seem to have. Throughout the story, it went from first person to third person point of view which was very distracting. The blurb from the book made it appear as if this story would have a ménage but in actuality it is a love/lust triangle. I felt that the characters could have been more fleshed out and sometimes came off as wooden. I would have enjoyed seeing all three characters interact and solve their problems instead of being told what had transpired between them. Despite my misgivings about this book, I look forward to reading more from Ms. Lee in the future.G LochFor Joyfully Reviewed
