I picked up this book believing that it was an erotic romance - which is one of my favorite genres.  I was initially disappointed because the book focuses much more on the sexual connection between the three characters than their romantic feelings.  The premise is very straightforward: a woman can't choose between her two lovers and decides to spend a weekend with both to help her make up her mind.  As this is fiction both men agree to this and sexiness ensues.I started to write my review and decided to give the book a two star review based on the lack of romance.  Before doing so I chose to give the book a re-read (it is not that long so this didn't take more than an hour and a half).  On my second read I realized that the story had a lot of elements that I really liked and are generally absent from most erotica:  a ménage with a reluctant male (usually it's the woman that needs to be convinced),  a very sensual female lead who unashamedly loves sex and well-written sex scenes.  Without any preconceived notions of what the story should be I was able to enjoy the story for what it is.  Also, although there are no passionate declarations of love the author does demonstrate that there is respect, trust and genuine affection within the relationship.Overall I recommend this book to anyone looking for more erotica than romance.
