Four Play - A Collection of Four Short-Stories

Her Fantasy Men - was a totally different situation. Tucker was I liked both stories quite a bit. Tucker was the only one she'd had an almost lifetime connection with unlike the above story. One guy was her boss and the other was her neighbor a smokin' hot peeping neighbor to boot. Kelsey was a likeable character and so were the guys. It was interesting to see how they would all mesh together without that long-standing past to solidify their relationship.

The guys only know each other because of her and they all had to work past their possessedness of her to really make her happy - because she couldn't choose between them. For her, it was all or nothing. Nov 14, Robin rated it liked it. Pillow Talk, the Maya Banks story, was fantastic. It set up a fantasy situation that, even if you didn't think YOU would ever participate in this kind of situation, it was still something you could imagine.

Or, at least, it was something I could imagine. I thought the addition of Dillon was a bit of overkill, and I don't think the story needed that as a catalyst to the ending. It was exactly like that fashion adage of taking off the last accessory you put on and you'll be perfectly dressed. If you take out the last dick you add in Unfortunately, the overall rating for this book is weighed down by the Shayla Black story. I'm a bit hit or miss with Black. Some of her books I like a lot, and then there are the others. This story was one of the others.

The characters didn't have anything below the surface.

Four Play by Maya Banks

None of the characters meant anything to each other even though we're told that they do and they meant even less to me. Oct 13, Zuleika rated it it was ok Shelves: Second story is typical Shayla Black: I hate writing reports , or if you are bored and need to occupy yourself for an afternoon, but, in my opinion, not worth a buy. Aug 02, Matthew rated it liked it Shelves: I didn't read the second story because I'm not a fan of the author. My ONLY complaint, the guys should have hooked up, break open that barrier that way when Zoe isn't around, they can fuck each other!

May 21, Karou Rincon rated it did not like it Shelves: Sep 02, Lisa rated it it was ok Shelves: Well, both stories smut-wise are fine. Female characters for some reason are special snowflakes who only prefer guy friends, so not impressed. Sep 06, Julie rated it liked it Shelves: The blurb on the back of the book sums up the story perfectly. After all, the three guys are all firefighters. Then one night, Chase reveals his number-one fantasy: A turn-on for them means a turn-on for him. It proves to be even more, and it opens the door for a secret desire all her own to come true. Sex after sex after sex.

A little more emotion. The back of the book says: So who is the lucky mystery man satisfying the girl of their secret dreams? The three pals plan to find out. She is surrounded by three men who really want to claim her. Now, these guys are yummy. Her domineering lawyer boss, her firefighter passionate neighbour and her long time bestest friend.

How lucky is she to be surrounded by that much hotness every single day?! Just a baffling premise. I mean, they all live together and be together and love each other. And not just sex-love. Sep 29, Bookaholics rated it really liked it. These 2 stories involve a woman with multiple male partners. In the first story by Maya Banks, Chase and Zoe play out their fantasies.

But it gets out of hand when 2 of the other men find a deeper connection to Zoe and want to keep the group exclusive when another man joins them. This story was a bit unbelievable but that is why it is fiction! There is definitely enough sex to satisfy the erotic reader. In the 2nd story by Shayla Black, the heroine Kelsey has a problem.

She loves her 3 friends but if she has a relationship with any of then all their relationships will change. Her boss Jeremy is very dominant and brings out her submissive side. Her childhood friend Tucker makes her feel cherished and loved. And the sexy fireman Rhys makes her pushes her buttons! All of her male friends have noticed a new glow to Kelsey and wonder if one of them is her lover.

So they spy on her.

And when they realize she may love one of them each is determined to seduce her and does so successfully! But Zoe feels guilt because she loves them all equally and cannot choose. She decides she would leave rather than force herself to pick one of them. Will Zoe finally be able choose and who will it be? Both these stories will definitely light your fire! They are very erotic, quick and easy to read.

If you like sexy books with a LOT of steam then this is the book for you. Although sometimes I did feel too much of a good thing can be a bit of an overload and after a while this reader found them a little too racy for her tastes. Oct 10, Jamie rated it really liked it Shelves: It features main characters Zoe and Chase who happens to be a yummy firefighter.

After a round of spontanious panty combusting sex they are having themselves a little pillow talk and they start talking about their fantasies. Both fantasies are pretty incredible to be honest. Well the vast majority of the story, ok all but a couple pages, are about fulfilling those fantasies.

In the beginning the sex scenes were Awesome Sauce, but as the story went along I think that it was mostly focused on the sex and not so much on the actual characters or the relationship. Which come to find out it was written like that on purpose as part of the story. As a result I was kind of turned off by this story by the end of it. Actually, I could hardly wait for it to end. I'm not giving up on Ms. I can't base all of an author's works on one story. I do like the way that Ms.

Banks writes her works and minus an obscene in my opinion anyway amount of sex in this particular story she sure does know how to write one hell of a love scene. Of the 4 characters in this story Tucker is the only one that has actually known Kelsey almost her entire life. The other two male characters are Kelsey's boss and her peeping tom-smoking hot-fire fighter neighbor.

I thought that Kelsey herself was a very likeable character who is one of those girls that be one of the girls as well as one of the guys. It was actually very interesting to read how realtionship became pretty dang solid through the course of this story. The truth of the matter is that the 3 guys only know each other because of Kelsey and they all kind of struggle with their possessiveness of her to make her happy.

Because she really can't bring herself to choose between them. She reads very much like an "all or nothing" type of girl. Naturally, the sex scenes were scorching hot. What I really liked about this story is that each guy brought his own brand of lovin' to the story This seemed at first like another trip to the boringly perfect world of fantasy menage, where no one is ever jealous or upset or conflicted. Then it took an interesting turn. Just not interested in reading sex scenes between strangers, I guess. I was a bit confused by the back story of the characters, but thought this had a pretty plausible HEA.

When the truth comes out after sexy times with all three of them, Kelsey refuses to choose and things get complicated. For most of the book, each man wants Kelsey to himself and they agree to share only as a means of increasing their chances of getting her. Also lots of word repetitions and men saying weird shit like, "Hey, I'm plenty alpha. Nov 22, Mindy rated it it was ok Shelves: I cared about each of the characters and thought their journey to a committed foursome made sense within the context of the story and the genre.

I've never considered or wanted to be part of a multiple partner relationship, but I could relate to how each of the characters were feeling within the confines of the story. None of th "Pillow Talk" was a well-written and fairly believable story, despite the fact that I don't think most men would be ok having their girl strip for his friends at a club. None of the characters were annoying and they were well-developed for a short story.

It was hot and I would have given it 3 stars had it not been part of an anthology. The resolution was completely unbelievable. Kelsey was annoying and frankly, a bit stupid and weak. The men were obnoxious, each in their own ways, though Jeremy got under my skin in a bad way more than Tucker or Rhys. I'm not into BDSM personally so Jeremy's possessive and sometimes dismissive attitude worked against him. Having just finished "Pillow Talk" and read about the fairly natural way Zoe and her men formed their relationship, Kelsey's foursome seemed forced and unnatural by contrast.

I can't say what I would have rated "Her Fantasy Men" if it hadn't been in an anthology, but following "Pillow Talk," I could only give it 1 star. Apr 04, Darcy rated it liked it Shelves: I really liked this book and the two stories about the women in love with more than one man.

Four Plays

I did think that the Maya Banks story was the stronger one. With her story, Banks starts out with a couple that talk about their fantasies. During the course of the conversation others are brought in. Chase and Zoe live in a house with their best friends Brody and Tate.

So when other people are going to be introduced into the relationship it only makes sense to bring in their friends. Things seem to go gr I really liked this book and the two stories about the women in love with more than one man. Things seem to go great with the new change until a line is crossed, one that none of them even knew was there. It is in the uncomfortable aftermath that you can really see how this relationship is going to change, the only question is will it fracture or can they get over it.

I will say that I loved the ending. With Black's story, I can buy into Kelsey was in love with all the guys, but I had a hard time buying into just how different they all were. Of course there are bound to be big issues when you throw those kind of men together. I also knew right away the big announcement that Kelsey was going to have.

I have my doubts with the ending of this one, I can see things not staying the way they ended for long. Sep 24, Jill Sorenson rated it really liked it. The idea of a romance between three men and one woman seems pretty crazy to me. Maybe that's why I selected this book. The premise invites the reader to "just go with it. Zoe and her boyfriend live out their wildest fantasies with two hot male friends. At one point they kidnap, blindfold, and have group sex with her. Luckily, she loves it! I'm no The idea of a romance between three men and one woman seems pretty crazy to me.

I'm not sure why jealousy wasn't an issue, but the characters communicated well and somehow I was sold on the foursome. That said, Black's story felt more romantic to me, maybe because all three men are in love with the heroine before they jump in bed to fill her slots. The emotions went a little deeper, including jealousy and angst. I still find it hard to believe that three big, alpha men would all have a sharing fantasy, and be up for a longterm polyamorous relationship, but whatever.

This is a hot, entertaining read. Oct 12, Rory G rated it really liked it. One night they begin discussing racy fantasies that involve voyeurism and multiple partner sex. When they start to play out these fantasies with their roommates and best friends Brody and Tate it gets complicated quickly. I loved the feeling of camaraderie between Chase, Tate, Brody and Zoe.

It made it easier for me to buy into the premise of the story. Though, like Tate and Brody, I also felt betrayed by some of the events that take place in the story and I was glad to see Ms Banks address that part of the storyline. There is multiple partner sex and what some might view as dubious consent, though IMO there was always consent.

Pillow Talk is part cautionary tale and part sweet erotic romance. It is a erotically charged story and not for the faint of heart. Feb 21, Jojo M rated it really liked it. It just seemed a bit rushed. Like the neighbor who's only called upon to fix things around her house comes over to fix her tub and right away the " I love yous" start.

Then the boss at work goes from being a dominating WORK boss to "I didn't say you were allowed to leave. They were best friends, grew up together. But the way Tucker was in the ending of the story was kind of ugh- to me. Like, you can't go from thinking that spanking is bad and should never be done and arguing with Jeremy about his habits of ordering her around to - spanking her for leaving threatening future punishment and ordering her around. If I could rate this separately I would maybe be nice and give it a 3.

Oct 04, Lauren Fraser rated it it was amazing. Just finished reading Four Play and all I can say is Wowza! Those ladies know how to write a hot story. Pillow Talk by Maya Banks was amazing. Incredibly sexy and erotic. When a couple embarks on acting out their fantasies it makes for an emotional read which is always a great thing. The three men in this story were all incredibly sexy,strong alpha males who really cared about Zoe. I always enjoy a great menage story but this one was incredibly well done.

Description

Maya Banks did a fantastic job of exploring the jealousy and emotions that can arise in a multiple partner situation. Her Fantasy Men by Shayla Black was a steamy read. It was a slightly different take on the foursome idea and it made for a compelling story. Emotions ran high, the sex was hot. I really enjoyed the story.

I would absolutely recommend this book. Jun 08, Sarah rated it really liked it Shelves: There's nothing really wrong with these stories, but they just didn't zing like some others I've read. In Maya's story, there was too much sex with random people. I know it only happened twice, but I don't buy into the whole "I love you but I also love watching strange people take your body". I can't separate that so I wasn't into that part. The rest was good though.

Second story wasn't as good, but it wasn't horrible. I just didn't really ever feel like I knew the characters nor did I buy their whole "love" thing. It didn't seem real to me. Overall, a very hot read with some sweet moments, but mostly just fun, fluffy reading. Four Play 1 12 May 30, A wife and mother of three, she lives in Texas.
