Two’s a couple, three’s a ménage, not to mention the law. Welcome to an alternate world where the government gives tax breaks to women who choose to take on two or more men—and werewolves live amongst us.

Despite the laws encouraging polygamy, Chloe isn’t interested in a relationship with one man, let alone two. But all that changes when a werewolf client decides he wants her for more than just legal aid. He’s not alone though. Her nemesis in the courtroom, district attorney Anthony Vanderson, is also intent on seduction.

Caught between two men—naked and panting—she succumbs to passion, gets embroiled in a mystery and learns werewolves aren’t the only creatures living amongst humans.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

I really love Eve Langlais books. They are always funny and entertaining. This one, however, didn’t quite live up to her usual quirky brilliance.

I love paranormal books and the synopsis was intriguing, but it totally wasn’t what I was expecting. With a shortage of women in the world, it has become the norm to have threesomes, foursomes or moresomes as a typical family since the “coming out” of paranormal beings. With Chloe and her two suitors, the story took on a different vibe that I didn’t really get into. Instead of having the threesome be a unit, it was more of a scheduling between who got to spend time with the Chloe.  I would have liked to have seen a more “together” union instead of it feeling like a timeshare relationship.

I also didn’t like Chloe. She was hurt pretty bad in a previous relationship and had huge hang-ups with trust. She didn’t want a relationship but one-night stands were no problem for her. Chloe never got over her issues and still, at the end of the book, wasn’t fully committed and still wary of the two men who’d do anything to keep her. Chloe’s constant doubts and the emotional distance she kept between herself and the two men got old after a while and had me losing interest in the story.

The dialogue—which is always expected to be hilarious and filled with sexual innuendo—was a little too over the top in this book. I felt myself rolling my eyes more than laughing at Chloe’s life views and crazy antics. There was also A LOT of sex in this book, which normally I don’t mind but I would have liked more of the relationship development in exchange for a few of those super steamy scenes.

All in all, this was an okay read for me.
