Official Synopsis: When executive woman Katie Warren arrives in the picturesque village of Little Marplethorpe for a country holiday, to reassess her life and her future, she doesn't bargain on ending up in a hot three way love affair with a man she's admired from afar... and his gorgeously handsome male partner.Marcus Dane and Owen Foster are lovers, committed for a lifetime, but they both enjoy the company of women as friends and bedmates too. Encountering Katie at an exhibition of his work, Marcus knows she's just the kind of bold, daring, imaginative woman who'll relish sharing erotic games with Owen and himself.But what none of the trio expect is that their intense, steamy threesome will quickly deepen into a bond that's a lot more than just simply fabulous sex.Length: 101 pagesGenre: Paranormal RomancePublisher: Self-PublishedSource: NetGalleyFormat: E-BookPublication Date: May 25th, 2012Okay, so I like me some erotica! One of my friends who also has the same name as me asked me to help her find some good ones. Portia Da Costa is on the short list of erotica authors to watch out for! I made sure when I recommended several books and told her to also check out the paranormal romance genre (because we all know it gets mighty steamy in there too!) that I put Portia's name on the list.This is a short novella it was about 100 pages...roughly 30k+ in word count. But, every word just leads you more and more down the rabbit hole of lust. It is hot, sticky, yummy, seductive, and tantalizing.  You have a story that starts out with the main character getting warm from just looking at a work of modern art and it goes on from there. It's a short story so there is that instant heat, attraction, etc. Which I'm not a huge fan of ... but for the length you have to work with what you have.Portia knows how to make each word count.I am definitely adding her to my I *hunt down and read everything she has written* list and I know my other friend will as well. She's just too steamy to pass up.Rating: A-
