Once trouble moves in, it can throw a kink in your plans. Evie's future finally looks as tidy as the Yorkshire house she shares with Ross, her serious boyfriend. Until she comes home and sneaks into his after-work shower-and discovers she's just jumped a naked stranger with mysterious, deep-running ties to Ross's past. Fresh from a bartending stint in Japan, Kit plans to move into his newly inherited house as soon as it gets a roof. Meanwhile, his old friend Ross has offered him a spare room. How better entertain himself than by pushing Evie's buttons...and her boundaries? Risk isn't Ross's style-at least, not anymore-but then again, he was never able to say no to Kit. Memories of their wild adventures still spice his sexual fantasies. Fantasies that could cost him Evie's love, if she knew. Captured by Kit's bad-boy charm, Evie finds her vision of domestic bliss rapidly fading in the growing intensity of Kit's dark sexuality. Kit knows he's playing fast and loose with Ross and Evie's relationship, but he's certain he can win them over and have what he's always wanted. A three-way romance. Even if his last attempt ended in a disaster that comes back to haunt them all... Warning: This title contains explicit, menage a trois loving, m/m sex and a bad, bad man with a fondness for skimpy shorts and irreverent behavior."… (more)

Enticement by Madelynne Ellis was a very good read. But...

The first half of Enticement was extremely good. The heat level between the three main characters was beyond sizzling. Then suddenly, the book seemed to have a very tepid feel to it. This was almost immediately after the first "Menage" has been accomplished.

There was far more time spent on the back-story of "Kit" than with Ross and Evie. Understandably, Kit's back-story was necessary, but I would have liked to know more about Ross and Evie.

Enticement ended for me very wrong. It seemed very contrived. I don't want to give the ending away, but I truly wish that Ms. Ellis had not taken the "easy" ending on this one. Through much of the book, I was sure it was going to end differently and the ending that we received was really let down. Too easy and too expected.

Overall, Enticement earns a solid 4 stars for me. Had the heat level been maintained and not dropped so dramatically, it could have been a 4 1/2 in my opinion.
