I had a really hard time getting through this book...I didn't feel the connection between the characters and it started off with a scene with no emotion, IMO. I ended up skipping a most of the sex scenes just because they were monotonous and predictable. I'll give the author another shot because I've got a few more books by her and hopefully this was just a fluke.
Helpful Score: 1
I have been waiting for a book where the men also enjoy eachother and this book does just that. However, I wish there was more action between them. I agree the sex scenes did get redundant but overall I liked this book.

Well if you have read Pleasure Bound this is basically the same plot. Not bad read but too similar to the other book.

Forbidden Heat, the latest erotic novel by Opal Carew, is unfortunately lacking in both aspects of its titular promise. Relying heavily on trite phrases, clichéd situations, and stereotypical notions of feminine desire, the book is a mediocre romance at best.
The novel tells the tale of three college friends reunited under sexy circumstances. Danielle, Jake, and Trey quickly form a threesome, engaging in wild weekends and shedding clothing for a romp every couple of pages. This in itself isnt a problem, but the accompanying lack of character development quickly becomes off-putting. Unable to distinguish between the two male romantic leads (except in terms of the almost gag-inducing references to Jakes ponytail), readers are bound to tune out when it comes to the endless cataloguing of exactly whose cock-head is plumbing whose slick opening.
For a two-guy/one-gal threesome story, theres also surprisingly little anal sex, and though the female is quick to get down on her knees, the men rarely touch each other despite a backstory that perpetually notes they had once been lovers. Poor, confused Danielle keeps telling herself that she is merely reuniting her gay friends, all the while getting screwed six ways to Sunday by the dynamic duo. Naturally, she doesnt see her own happy ending coming. Despite bland obstacles, the lovers will continue their blissful love triangle forevermore, panting and moaning all the way. Too bad readers wont care, as they never get close to these naughty boys and their gal pal.
The language of the books contrived sex scenes quickly becomes repetitive. Instead of employing pussy or its even coarser Germanic equivalent, Carew refers to Danielles lady bits as her opening on nearly all occasions. This is changed up with the modifiers slick or wet, and even back for one anal dalliance, but such hesitant language coming from a writer of smut seems as appropriate as a priest in a whorehouse.

3.5 stars Since menage erotica is a particular favorite of mine, I liked the story line of Dani reconnecting and acting on her unrequited feelings with Jake and Trey after a long separation. The sex was plentiful, but I was frustrated how Trey denied his attraction to Jake and Jake hid his true feelings for Trey. Basically, it was a story of "let's have a casual menage" while the three had their own agendas and then having to work through the resulting confusion.
This is my second book I've read from Opal Crew. Love the storyline, from all angles, lots of intense sex scenes. I take it all the books are the same with story here and there but many, MANY sex scenes all throughout??
Pretty much what the details above state but there is a sore subject for Dani and her wanting to be loved but will shy away from it. There are a few scenes that will be Man on Man but mostly m/f/m or m/f.

This is a fantastic erotic tale of three people in denial of what they want. Love seems to have fallen in their laps yet they can't believe that those dear to them actually love them.
Danielle uses the excuse of trying to bring together Trey and Jake as a way of being with them. I mean how can Trey and Jake love her when her own mother never did. She's unlovable, something she's believed since she was little.
Jake on the other hand has loved Trey since they meet in college. His sexuality was something he accepted for as long as he can remember. He loves both men and women, unfortunately Trey can't accept he loves men and women. Trey keeps denying what he is even when it's right there in front of his face.
Danielle is the glue that keeps them together, unfortunately they don't realize it until it's too late.
I love the sexual chemistry between the three of them. I love the encounters and story line. A great read.
