During a coastal California heat wave, Leigh's sitting on her porch to catch a little bit of a breeze and admiring her new neighbor, a man who instills all sorts of delicious thoughts. Then, he comes over to her house to borrow a bottle opener and the flirting commences. At first Leigh's a bit skittish, but soon Jared's dominance takes over and he pulls her into him for fun and sensuality.What neither expected was to find in each other more than just a casual fling.  Then he introduces her to his sometime roommate and lover, Matteo. Jared's a photojournalist and is always hopping around to locales for his assignments. Matteo is a musician and he's also rarely around. But when the two men are together, they hang out as friends do, or have sex. So when Matteo arrives in town Jared introduces him to Leigh, in hopes that she'll be willing to share both of them.For the next month, the threesome have fun filled days and scorching nights. Then it's time for the two men to leave for their jobs and Leigh realizes she has to say goodbye. She's found in them, especially Jared, more than just a tryst, but can do nothing but give them their freedom and walk away from the best time of her life.Summer Solstice is just the ticket for these hot summer nights.  It was deliciously decadent in how quickly and combustively Jared and Leigh connected, with him so dominant and her so independent, yet intrigued by submissiveness. Then to add the sensual, laid back Matteo to the mix? If it were a food, it would duel on the tongue until exploding in a maelstrom of flavors.  This was a fabulous read, that could have only gotten better were it longer so I could have spent more time with the trio.  Kudos to Ms. Bradley for a wonderfully entertaining story.Courtesy of Fallen Angel Reviews.
