Pothos God of Sexual Yearning visits an aussie couple on their 20th Anniversay night to ignite the passion that's been non-existent lately.Jeannie has been wanting the spark back and Jake has had a fantasy of a man joining them in bed, as much for him as for her. Believing Pothos' visit is a dream they give into their wildest desires - and end up spending one sweaty, passion filled night on the beach with the God of Love.This short novella begun with almost a dream like haze, Lynne really wrote it so dream like it didn't feel corny or fake but smooth flowing like a dream would. Whenever the point of view shifted to Jake things became more substantial and real, from emotions to urges.I hadn't read M/M love scenes before this ( so there goes my M/M cherry! ;) ) and I have to say I loved how Lynne wrote it! It was masculine, rougher, more urgent and I didn't think it weird like I thought maybe I would have. As interesting as that was I'm still a M/F girl with M/F/M side. ;)I liked Pothos and Jake the best, Jeannie was mostly fighting her connection to Pothos even though she believed she was dreaming, which made her uber loyal, or aware that it wasn't just a dream after all. That little  star that would have made this novella great was the dialogue, it needed a tad bit more believability and bit less cliché.Talking about the hotness rating of this book, sizzling! This really was erotic romance! With the foreplay, girl sandwich and a guy sandwich Platinum Passion was all kind of delicious with one adonis of a Greek god of love and yearning thrown in the mix!
