@Fiction Vixen Thank you! I just saw your advance review of Brody's story, Coming Undone. Wow! It sounds like a great book. I can't wait to read it.

What a great review! I agree, sometimes it’s worth it to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. I did this with Lilli Feisty’s Bound To Please and was pleasantly surprised.

Put it this way: I finished Laid Back with the intention of reading more books by Lauren Dane. I'm not sure I'm ready to embrace the erotic romance genre as a whole. When I said I'd never read erotic romance before, that wasn't quite true as I have read a few short stories. This was my first full-length novel. I'd been put off the idea of erotic romance because I assumed the emphasis would be on sex with very little time given to the development of the relationship. In Laid Back, that's definitely not the case. BDSM and menage elements aside, it's basically a very good contemporary romance. @SusiSunshine Yeah, I bought it after reading your Leontine's ARC review and your review on Amazon.de! @K.C. Smokinhotbooks Thanks! Hope you like it. @Renee Thank you! I have Undercover and Relentless. I'm looking forward to reading them. This is the second reference to Beth Kery I've read in the past two days. I just realized I have Wicked Burn in my TBR pile...

Wow, you really did step out of your comfort zone with your first erotic romance! Menage, m/m/f, bdsm. I’m glad you were in Lauren Dane’s excellent hands for your first foray. I love her writing because she really does convey the emotions and relationships so beautifully. I haven’t read Laid Bare yet, but I loved Relentless, and am working on her Cascadia Wolves series.
For me it’s the bdsm that pushes the envelope for me, though I’ve read a couple that have worked for me. Beth Kery’s Wicked Burn comes immediately to mind.
Excellent review, Sarah!

@Magdalen Erin’s tattoos are mentioned in the text but not constantly. I remember her piercings more clearly! Hope that helps!
