Deeply erotic - some may find deviant- start of series, Jun 3 2004
This is part one of a three-part series about the three August brothers, their disturbing, violent past (they were terribly abused), and the women who enter their lives. It also is a suspense/thriller - this plot is carried through the books and nicely resolved in the third book. The series is a dark erotic romance, and boy does it deliver on the erotic!Ms. Lora Leigh writes erotic novels with strong sexual themes that some may find disturbing. If you find the very idea of sex with multiple partners, non-missionary position sex in every room of the house, not to mention sex in the barn, sex by the pool, etc., or the alpha male dominant-type hero disturbing, this is not the book for you, toots. The hint of insest is open to interpretation (remember Woody Allen?) and is not gratuitous. Personally, I found Ms. Leigh amazingly successful in showing why these virile brothers embraced the unusual (some may say deviant) lifestyle they did; I was able to accept the premise for these particular people, in this fictional setting. I would have given five stars, but the book is poorly edited. Editing improved in the next two books in the series. Keep in mind that this is not classic literature - it's erotica. Warning - if you read this and like it, you will want to read the rest of the series immediately, and you may stay up all night doing so.

Hot and unique storyline!, Jun 12 2004
Marly's Choice by Lora Leigh was my first menage book that I ever read. I was pleased with this story. It's a unique book filled with lots of hot sex and a wonderful storyline about three brothers who while teenagers were sexually abused by a family member. They escaped their abuser but now they have a unique bond where they prefer to share their women. Marly's Choice is mainly about the eldest August brother, Cade and the woman he and his brothers grew up with, Marly. Both Cade and Marly are really sexually attracted to each other and there are some of the best sex scenes I've ever read in this book (as well as Lora Leigh's other two books in this series - Sarah's Seduction and Heather's Gift). The menages between Marly, Cade and his two brothers I thought were fantastic and really well written and quite arousing.
If you love menages this is a MUST read!!!! Besides hot sex there is a suspenseful story going on too that brings the brother's past back to haunt all of them. Like I said this book was my FIRST menage book and after experiencing it and the other two I don't want to go back to straightlaced vanilla romance books ever again. LOL. Hugs,

Rating as a Romance, May 26 2004
First off let me say, if you are looking for a book with extreme and hot sex then this is a purchase for you. If, however, you are looking for a book with true love then please...FOR THE LOVE OF GOD...pass this book on. Marly and Cade have been destined to be. She's been in love with him since she was a little girl. Cade is older then Marly, and extremely protective of her. Yet, as she grows older his feeling become very sexual in nature. Since they aren't related by blood this isn't necessarily a bad premise. Most ole school readers have seen this replayed in Harlequin books of the past. LOL...But this is where the old school and the 'new school' come into play. Cade has been abused in the past. The author doesn't really go into detail explaining this abuse, but somehow it makes him want to 'share' his women with his two younger brothers. And, when I say share...I MEAN SHARE IN THE MOST ULTIMATE SENSE. I'll be honest...the sex is hot...but that's all there is to it. I could not relate to a male, alpha or otherwise, who gets some kick in sharing his woman. I find that gross and disgusting. And, any true man who love his woman would not want to share. Cade's relationship with Marly is borderline incest, and too disgusting to be true love. Though, the sex is hot. If you dig this...then purchase this book as an erotica only. But, don't fool yourself into thinking this is a romance with erotic overture. You will be sorely disappointed.
