Review: Not for me

I knew that this was a multiple partner story before I read it.  I picked it up intentionally to see if buying the first book would be worthwhile.  I have decided against it.  There were just too many creep factors for me, personally, to become that involved in the characters or even to find the love scenes all that erotic (in fact, I found them very bland).  The creep factors were:1. The three men are brothers, which I hadn't expected to be that bothered by but once I started reading I didn't find it intriguing at all or believable.2.  The female protagonist systemically "corners" each brother and practically begs for sex from each man in turn.  Just not sexy or romantic.3.  She's 8 months pregnant at the time.4.  They all call the child "theirs"...he is "their son"...as in they do not know who fathered the baby and so all claim him. Something about this went against my own peace of mind.  Maybe too...cult-like?  Takes me to number 5...5.  The entire scenario is so unrealistic that even for a book I couldn't suspend my disbelief.  The author writes the 4-way relationship as a pleasant, laid back one, with no jealousy issues or the woman just throwing her hands up and saying "I need space, quit touching me for one freaking minute".  All is perfect in their world, nobody minds sharing and they all know each other's business.  And sure, the heroine is well cared and the men genuinely love her, but at the same time she is overly cossetted.  It left me feeling like she had no real freedom, always surrounded by men hovering over her.  She didn't have enough of an independent spirit for the heroines I usually like reading about.  Oh, and the birth scene was poorly written and also not realistic at all.Some people will like and have liked this story just fine and are not bothered by any of the things that bothered me.  I tried it and I just didn't like it.
