The three stories revolve around the Long family who all work at the Pulled Long Cafe, "where the coffee is hot and the sex is hotter." I really enjoyed reading all three of these stories in quick succession.First - there's Double Shot. The story revolves around the youngest sibling, Sadie. She's been lusting after her good friend Paul for more than a decade, yet she's too worried about ruining her friendship to try and put the moves on him. Paul is part owner in Mavricks, the sex club where much of all of these stories takes place. Sadie's been suppressing not only her attraction to Paul, but her fantasies as well. When she's finally put on the spot, Paul helps all of her fantasies come true.Double Shot was my favorite of the three stories. I related to Sadie and her threesome with Paul and Josh was really steamy.Second came A Shot in the Dark. This novella tells the tale of Paige, the older sister and `wild child' of the family. She's been down the BDSM road before only to have the scene ruined for her by an ex-boyfriend. Along comes Carter, a sexy fireman who wants to help Paige get exactly what she needs. This story didn't do it for me as much as the other two did, but it was hot and sexy and Carter is pretty smokin'.The last story, Pulled Long tells the tale of Ian, the gay brother of the two Long ladies and has a lot of personal issues he hasn't dealt with. All throughout the first two stories, he's flirting with a man know only as `Blue Eyes', who as it turns out to be, a bisexual man just coming through a divorce, to a woman. This throws Ian for a loop, and having been burned by a bisexual lover in the past, he doesn't think his heart can take the risk again. I enjoyed the playful banter between Ian and `Blue Eyes', AKA - Jeff. Jeff, while he may be bi, knows exactly what he wants, but won't put up with Ian's BS about his past. I liked that Ian was forced to face his issues before he could realistically have a relationship with Jeff.All and all, I enjoyed these stories a lot and kind of wish there was another one that gave us another glimpse into the future of the Long family. Well done, and will be reading more from Christine d'Abo's collection of work.
