5 out of 5I am now a lifelong reader of Alyssa Turner’s. And I say that after reading just one of her books. I will soon be gorging myself on the rest of her work because Polished was great! The author asked us if we’d be interested in reviewing Polished and she had me at the word ménage. But Polished is so much more than just kinky three way sex. The first 30% or so felt a little slow but once the story really gets going, the beginning turned out to be the perfect way for this story to start. It was realistic. No insta-love. Just an insta-connection and three people who were working their way toward that connection with real concerns and feelings. And that’s what really got me in this book. Everything about Polished was realistic. Nothing far-fetched for the sake of pushing the storyline and the dialogue both verbal and internal was very real and natural. The character development was thorough. Sure, I would have liked to know more about all three main characters, but the “more” wouldn’t have played a role in the storyline. It wasn’t necessary and Alyssa Turner seems to know how to keep a reader engaged. No gratuitous sex scenes and no unnecessary details and drama. Just a well thought out and realistic story about three people who come together because of their own individual needs, feelings and desires.  And while the book isn’t laden with gratuitous sex, the sex is out of this world HOT. Seriously, panty melting hot. Oh, to be Rory in a Jack and Spencer sandwich. YUM.
