Kris‘ review of Two Lovers for Molly (Lavender Lace, Book 3) by Lynn LaFleur
Third in the Lavender Lace series.
A chance meeting with Julian Forrest changes author Molly Ross’ mind about her bad luck with men. Julian is not only gorgeous, but intelligent and charming.
Julian loves Molly’s sexy underwear. It makes his mouth water every time they make love. In less than a week, he knows he’s falling in love with her. Then Lane Edison comes back into Julian’s life. Despite being apart for a year, one kiss from the handsome man and Julian tumbles. He wants both Molly and Lane, but doesn’t know how that can happen…until he reads a threesome scene in the book Molly is writing.
Molly loves Julian, yet feels an instant attraction when she meets Lane. Discovering the two men were once lovers is a huge turn-on. When Julian suggests a ménage à trois, she’s more than willing to let the two men fulfill her fantasy.
This was a very cute short story. The synopsis above says pretty much everything well. Molly meets Julian at the coffee shop that her and her friends meet at most mornings. They go on a date and are very attracted to one another. Things progress and they start to fall in love. Then Lane comes home from the military and it upsets the balance they have found. Because he and Julian were in a relationship before he left and realize they still have feelings for one another.
I had a very fun time reading this story. The characters were entertaining and sweet. There was the emotion and tension as to what they were going to do now that Lane was back. Plus I love when one of the main characters is a writer. There was also kind of a side story with a couple that, I am guessing is in the other stories too. She runs the lingerie store that connects the series and they were cute as well. I have not read the other stories in the series but i had no trouble following what was going on. I cannot think of a single thing I did not like about this story. It was a great short, light menage story.
I give it a 5 out of 5

I bought this one after reading a review a little while back. I didn’t mind it but I didn’t think it was outstanding.
I hadn’t read the earlier books in the Lavendar Lace series so the scenes with the goddess who owns the lingerie store and her god lover, were unnecessary and a bit odd in the context of the rest of the story, at least for me. Perhaps if I’d read the other stories I’d feel otherwise.
I did have a couple of WTF moments in this book though – frex, Molly and Julian have safe sex – BUT then they have a threesome with Lane and Julian announces that they won’t use condoms because they’re all safe – Molly’s just met Lane and hasn’t known Julian all that long and they’re not using condoms?? hur?
There were some good bits to the story but, FWIW, overall I found it only okay rather than excellent.
