story: 5/5
Erotica: 5/5

Imagine that you have given up men for good and are cursed to be horny as hell once a month, and two hunky guys show up willing to take care of your spell! That's the setup in this well-crafted novelette that has a strong heroine willing to do whatever it takes to rid herself of her curse. Two adonis alpha males are sent to break the spell by having 50 orgasms with Fi McGantry in one night, and this is only the first half of the book!

The cupid-like "Enhancers" are professional studs with a good heart, intent on dispelling Fi's insatiable appetite for sex, by applying their sexual techniques to her as she barely keeps up with their boundless energy. The reader will be over the edge of their bed by the time the undaunted trio reaches the final orgasm. But wait, there's more! Somehow the boys break from their professional detachment of doing their job and take a liking to Fi. The Gods send them back to take care of their affairs.  Up until then, the sex was vanilla but now the heavy stuff begins.

The trio's first menage the guys is a steamy scene of light BDSM . Sweet, innocent Fi, watches two men making love and becomes aroused. The boys then carefully test Fi's limits as they draw her into their world of SM.  The men become more attracted to Fi as she continues to play with them.  They bring  her into a rousing romantic threeway in the end.

Fi is an inadvertant victim of a spell. In a different setting, these guys would be escorts out to service an incredibly horny lady, who show her the subterranean world of m/m, menage and bdsm. Since Fi is cursed, these "angels" are here to heal her emotional wound of separation from a cheating husband and make things right! Readers who have scruples about over-the-top erotica, may at least accept it in the story's paranormal setting.


The story is told from the point of view of the heroine, whose naive character seems plausible.The men's story is paranormal fantasy but not spooky (i.e. they are "good" spirits, not vampires). The reader can learn of Fi's personality, but  only read a magazine-model description ("perfect tan, washboard abs") of Kade and Alec. Somehow Fi   enthusiastically accepts the boys proposition to join their BDSM-themed menage. The plot was simple and a little too thinly developed, but then this is an erotic novelette. The erotic sex was described well enough to give the reader a feel of what a menage with two guys would be like. The sex scenes were direct and consistent with the plot and character development

Despite the limitations due to the length of the story, this is one of the best written ones.
