faye.jpgGwen’s review of Ghost of a Chance by Eileen Ann Brennan
Contemporary erotic romance eBook published 27 Apr 07 by Ellora’s Cave Exotika

This quick little story is about an unlucky-at-love young woman who wanders into an old house and proceeds to have a wild night of ménage à trois with two mysteriously anachronistic hunks of man-flesh.

Here’s the book blurb:

Stranded by a New Years Eve snowstorm, Jenna Hawthorne seeks refuge in the old Rutledge place. Long rumored to be haunted, it now has new occupants­two of the sexiest brothers she’s ever met, and they are more than willing to take her in and warm her on a cold winter’s night.

Jonathan and Dashiell Rutledge are delighted to find the snowbound traveler on their doorstep. They are in need of a wanton, willing woman and gorgeous, free-spirited Jenna may be just the one to release them from a centuries old curse.

I had fun reading this book – but I can’t say it was an uplifting experience.  Well, I suppose if I were a man, it would have been “uplifting,” if you know what I mean.  This novella was (not so) lightly veiled porn, not that there’s anything wrong with that.  It was a cute, quick read, but it was porn.  Very little by way of story or character development.  Sorry!  I calls ‘em as I sees ‘em.  Get it if you want a quick warm-up before the hubby (hubbies??) get home.  **Edit** I realized I was being unneccessarily limited – that should have read “significant other (others??)”.  There – Political Correctness Police are now happy. (there’s a reason that acronym is PCP)**
