Can Menages be Lasting Relationships

2011-03-01T17:57:00.000-08:00

After Bitten in the Bayou was released a reader asked me if I'd ever write a menage where the trio stayed together. Another reader asked if I'd ever write a menage where the two men were also in love and interact sexually.

I'm not one to discount something off the cuff. I think at the time I probably said something about "considering it in the future."

I've thought about it a lot. I'm certainly pro m/m, f/f, m/f/m, etc in fiction and in life. You love who you love, regardless of gender. So for me, writing about a love between two men was, what I suppose some would call, a natural step.

The two menage novellas in my Deep Space Encounters series both feature m/f/m relationships where the men are also in love.

Interestingly enough, I haven't heard from readers one way or the other regarding those relationships. So let me know what you think. Can you enjoy a menage where the trio doesn't end up together? Can a person truly love 2 people? How about 3?

Review: Kate's Crew by Jayne Rylon

2010-09-01T10:22:00.000-07:00

4 stars

I read the blurb for Kate's Crew with much excitement. And I'm so happy that the story lived up to that excitement. It sucks when a book just isn't as good as the cover or the blurb, isn't it? But this one is hot, steamy, seductive... as promised.

Kate's renovating her grandfather's home, er, she's trying to. But her gaze keeps drifting to the hunky construction crew working next door. When a lack of balance lands her in the arms of Mike and his crew, things really start to heat up.

I don't want to give too much away but I will say if you enjoy a good menage and more... this is a book you won't want to miss.

New Menage from Selena Blake

2010-07-06T11:50:00.000-07:00

Double the Pleasure...

Reclaiming Isis is coming July 9th from Changeling Press. I’m so excited about this new release. It’s my first foray into science fiction romance. If you’re a fan of menage, check out Reclaiming Isis.

Excerpt from Reclaiming Isis

The grand hall smelled of sex and sweat. And fear. Bodies brushed against her. Heat crept up the back of her neck as she ran toward the light. “Natacha?”

Her friend didn’t answer. Isis gulped back her fear and pushed on. One of her oldest memories was of an Octican scare. She’d been young. Some of her friends hadn’t made it to the ship in time. She tried reasoning with herself. In recent years the Octican warnings sounded when the level of Octican reached deadly levels on PrimeC. She silently prayed she’d have enough time to get on board. Once on a lifeship, they could wait until the levels returned to normal… she just had to get there.

There had to be a shortcut. Her hand brushed a knob and she twisted it. “Natacha!” Her friend still didn’t answer. Natacha had always been the faster runner. She was probably all the way to the end of the hallway by now. Isis worried her bottom lip for just a moment, wondering if she should take the shortcut.

The voice over the speaker system thrust her into motion again. “Octican warning. Octican warning. Please board the nearest lifeship.”

Isis slipped through the door and found herself in another hallway. Her eyes were finally adjusting to the dark, but the floor was freezing against her bare feet. Ahead, she saw the blazing red symbol for the ship pad. She paused, sighing with relief, then ran toward the glowing sign, every muscle in her body moving in perfect unison toward one goal: getting off this planet.

Her sore toe snagged on something and she pitched forward. Pain throbbed up her leg from the arch of her foot. “Oh!”
The warning bell continued its annoying blare overhead. With limbs heavy from the orgasm, the cold, and the exertion, Isis pushed on. Shivering, she focused on the glowing sign, concentrated on putting on foot in front of the other.

Her time wasn’t meant to end by suffocation and the explosion of her capillaries. She was supposed to be pregnant. A mother. A real woman.

All of a minute passed before her hand closed over the heavy bar that bisected the door. She pushed and the door swung wide. The deck of the ship pad was a blur of motion. Women ran in all directions it seemed, anxious cries falling from their lips. She looked for Natacha or any other face she recognized. But these were not the women she knew.

They wore suits, head-to-toe white. Their feet were not bare. They wore thick-soled boots that came to just below the knee and laced all the way up. Their hair was braided and they carried guns. Isis shrank back.

PrimeC was a peaceful planet. These women were dressed and outfitted like soldiers. An army of worker ants. She watched them, noting how what she’d thought were chaotic movements were really a neat assembly as they headed for lifeships.

And just as quickly, they were gone. The floor was cleared. The polished white surface looked freshly washed, as if no one had ever been there. The doors to the lifeships closed with a barely audible whir. And Isis was alone.

Panic gripped her for the first time since the siren had gone off. “Wait!” Unable to move, she watched the ships levitate and float out of the big door at the end of the yard, and felt like she would throw up. There must have been a dozen of them at least. And she wasn’t on a single one of them.

Tears filled her eyes. She brushed them away and tried to come up with a plan. Maybe there was another bay. Maybe they’d send more ships. Momentarily, she debated chasing after them, but as the last vessel flew away she saw another ship, hidden by the monster-sized lifeships. Sleek, almost elegant in its design, gleaming silver, it was unlike any ship she’d ever seen.

She made a run for it, racing as fast as her freezing feet would carry her. Who knew how long it would be until the gas levels became lethal. She was ten steps away when someone darted from the shadows beside the vessel.

She skidded to a stop, her heart pounding in her chest. She trembled with fear that threatened to buckle her knees. A male, she was almost certain, though she’d never seen one, stepped into the light. Tall and broad shouldered, he had long, black hair, and a dark mask covered his face, revealing icy-blue eyes. Ink laced his arms and he had a dagger tucked into his wide belt.

Isis took a step back. Tripping over her gown, she went down hard. A cry escaped her lips as bone connected with the metal platform, but she couldn’t hear it over the ship’s engine.

The male strode forward, a determined glint in his eyes. He looked every bit as dangerous as the maid-mothers said he would. There was a power to his movements, a grace she wasn’t familiar with, yet admired even though he scared her.
He reached for her. She opened her mouth to scream but he moved like light. Silently, easily, he lifted her. His strength astonished her. He settled her over his shoulder, and for an instant she was still, unable to do anything but wonder at the foreign hands touching her.

Happy New Year!

2010-01-01T08:06:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year everyone! And welcome back from hiatus. Leila and I took a little time off in 2009, but we're back. We're ready to talk shop. Hopefully you are too.

Do you have any resolutions for 2010? More reading perhaps? Have plans to partake in a menage? Do tell!

Here's a little eye candy to start the year off!

Is two enough?

2009-06-02T11:19:00.000-07:00

I'm working on a book write now with 3 (count 'em... three) heroes. It's been an adventure to write. What kind of woman would put up with three men? Good question. If a menage is perfect, are three perfect-er? :-)

An even more important question, can three men steal one woman's heart? Or will she end up with just one of them? Since this is still in the writing stage, we'll see.

What say you?

What Makes Menage Marvelous?

2009-04-01T11:15:00.000-07:00

Rather than write some ultra witty post this month, I'm going to let you tell me what it is about a menage romance that makes your heart (among other parts) flutter? Why do you read them? What makes them enjoyable?

Authors, why do you write menage?

Tell me before May 1st. ;) One lucky comment leaver will win a book from my backlist, winner's choice. BTW, don't forget to "follow" our blog and check out our ad this month at smartbitchestrashybooks.com Visit my blog for an additional contest.

Is it Harder?

2009-03-16T09:46:00.000-07:00

Today I want to talk about emotional involvement. In a traditional romance the emotional involvement is between the reader and the heroine and hero. But in a menage you have one extra body...could be hero could be heroine.

For my books it's hero. So does have that one extra guy make it easier or harder to get emotionally involved in the story? For me the answer is no. I see more of the hero. Not just how he is with the heroine but how he is with his friend. Often men will act one way with their significant other and one way around the boys. When a hero can capture me and hold onto my heart while dealing with both situations then I'm hooked.

In Making Mischief my new menage...the heroes are brothers. They both love the same woman, who is a handful let me tell ya. But the interact with each other in a way that endears them to me. Both show their brotherly love by showing the sacrifices they are willing to make to ensure their siblings happiness. Being a giver...and one of four children this is important to me. And also helps me empathize with them.

I would love to hear about what helps or hurts you become emotionally involved in a story when we're talking menage.

First Lines by Anya Bast

2009-03-05T14:55:00.000-08:00

We have a very special guest today... you might recognize the name. Anya Bast. Does that ring a bell? I knew it would. Since I knew Anya would be posting, I cheated and didn't post anything on the 1st. Psst...Anya has a hot menage out right now. ~ Selena

Hi all – Thanks so much to Leila & Selena for inviting me to guest blog today!

My name is Anya Bast and I'm the author of over twenty five published works of fiction, mostly of them paranormal and most of them scorching hot. I write for Berkley Sensation, Harlequin Spice and Samhain, among other houses.

Today I thought I'd talk about that critical first line. I love writing that very first line of a novel. Actually, I obsess over them, rewriting them several times before I end up with the final version.
The first line is the first impression the reader gets of your work while they're standing in the bookstore deciding whether or not to buy your book. It's pretty important! It needs to hook the reader and make them want to read on. Your objective is to intrigue the reader, make them wonder what's going on and why.

If you can accomplish that much, then it's your job in the next few paragraphs to dig that hook in a bit deeper and add a dash of emotion, make the reader care about one of characters enough to invest even further.

Here is a sampling of some of the first lines from my books…

1. He looked like sin and seemed like salvation. Salvation for her sluggish libido, anyway. (Witch Fire, June 5, 2007 — Berkley Sensation)

2. How to Catch a Warlock 101. Isabelle could teach that class. (Witch Blood, March 4, 2008 — Berkley Sensation)

3.) Twenty years as a daaeman's handmaiden had prepared Claire for many things, but not this. Nothing could've prepared her for this. (Witch Heart, January 6, 2009 – Berkley Sensation)

4.) Sarafina might've been named for the angels, but she'd always known one day she'd end up in hell. (Witch Fury, June 2, 2009 – Berkley Sensation)

5). Alejandro leaned against the bar and watched the crush of dancers gyrate to the pounding beat in the Blood Spot. Lights flashed through the dark interior of the building, periodically illuminating bodies clad in almost nothing. (The Darkest Kiss, October 2008 — Berkley Heat)

6). The brown-haired businessman beside Cassidy at the roulette wheel held up a chip. “Kiss it for luck?” He gave her smarmy grin and a slow head-to-toe perusal. (The Deal, What Happens in Vegas…. May 2008 — Harlequin Spice)

I guess the reason I feel so strongly about my own first lines is because that's usually how I judge whether or not I'll buy someone else's book. My purchasing test goes something like this if the name on the spine is someone unfamiliar to me:

Cover art…yeah, I'm shallow. ;) A good cover will get me to investigate a book further. Doesn't mean I'll buy it, just give it a closer look.
Back blurb – Does it sound like "my kind" of book? My kind of book invariably being something of the paranormal or fantastical nature.
First line – Does it catch me?

If the book passes all those tests, I skim the first page. If that looks good…GLOM. It's mine. *g*
How about you? What are your buying criteria when you encounter an intriguing book at the bookstore by an author you've never heard of? Some people pay attention to the cover quotes, others have a complicated test of flipping through the book at every forty pages or so and reading.

And how about those first lines?

If you're an author, I invite you to share some of your opening gambits in the comments. If you're a reader, what's your buying criteria and do first lines figure into them? Got any fav first lines you'd like to share from anything you've read lately?

I'll give away an autographed copy of my latest release, Witch Heart, to one commenter.

Double the Trouble....Or Double the Fun?

2009-02-17T13:50:00.000-08:00

You know when I write about two men and one woman I always wonder...in real life would it be double the trouble or double the fun?

I mean most of us with one significant other know that there are good days and there are bad days...With two men does that mean you have more bad and more good? Is the headache too much to risk for the reward?

In the menage book I am writing right now called, Irish Creme, the reward definitely is worth it. She needs them to help with a particular problem and they are willing to help at a price...good thing it's a price she wants to pay :D

But that's the question for today...married, or if you have a boyfriend...hell if you've ever had a boyfriend. Do you think having two of lovers around constantly would be worth it?

A Winning Combo

2009-02-01T07:29:00.000-08:00

When it comes to a menage you have a few options. For the purposes of most romance novels you'll find either 2 men and a woman or 2 woman and a man between the covers... er, between the sheets.

If you're new to the genre, you're in for an eye opening and sensuous experience. Menage is all about pleasure. In romance, it's also about the romantic relationship between the characters. Our characters don't hop into bed with each other for no reason other than attraction.

In a romantic menage you'll find a level of deep emotion and respect. There's a deep desire between the characters and together, nowhere else, they'll find the ultimate pleasure.

As you explore our genre, be it in our books or in others, note the combination of characters. Sometimes you'll find two alpha males fighting over a woman they both adore. Sometimes you'll find two men who desire each other, yet welcome a woman into the fold.

What do you prefer?

In the biz we call the combinations MMF for a male, male, female combo; MFM for a male, female, male combo; FFM for a female, female, male combo; and FMF for a female, male, female combo.

Why Rush the Sex?

2009-01-14T22:45:00.000-08:00

For me there is never a reason. I like my sex slow. That's right I don't think there is ever a reason to rush sex in a book. In real life sex is all about the sensations. None of us say 'Hurry up and finish" in real life, so why would we do it in our books?

I want to enjoy each sensation while I am living vicariously through the book I'm reading. Each time a I read a one, two, or three sentence love scene and want to scream. Come on. Which one of us actually speeds up the love scenes in our real life? With all the other crap that goes on in real life I want to stretch those moments out even longer. So when an author cuts them down, I feel jipped.

That's why when you pick up one of my books I concentrate on every sensation. I want you to enjoy and live the fantasy of the longer sex scene. I want to draw it out, milk it, give you something to remember.

You can look for my next menage, Making Mischief, at the end of the month from Changeling Press. The sex is pretty intense. But again I can promise that you will not miss anything. I don't hide from the sex. And hopefully that is what my readers want.

Two at a time...

2009-01-01T13:39:00.000-08:00

I saw one of my favorite movies recently... I like anything with hot actors, sexiness, good acting and a fun story line. So it was no surprise that I love Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

And no, the fact they're assassins doesn't both me. What that says about me, I don't know... but back to the sexiness...

There's a part of the movie where Mr. & Mrs. Smith are comparing numbers... for any normal couple this might be the infamous "how many people have you slept with?" conversation. But for this couple, they're comparing kill counts. Mr. Smith says something to the effect of "well, I don't keep too close a count but high 50s, low 60s."

Jane Smith says "312."

"What?" her husband replies, incredulous. This couple is competitive, after all. He can't wrap his mind around the fact that his beautiful wife is first of all, an assassin like him, and second of all, has a whole lot more notches on her bedpost.

She kind of shrugs and says "some were two at a time."

The whole conversation is delivered with much innuendo (much to my delight.) And it's rather sexy. I know, I'm twisted. I'm also wicked.

Two at a time... that's why you're here, right? You're interested in why people would have sex with more than one person at a time. You're interested in reading about it (at which point I point you to the books and links above). Perhaps you're interested in trying it yourself. Or maybe you just want to see if it's the answer to your problems.

Join us in 2009 as we discuss the various aspects of the menage. See what super hot books we have to offer and what we're writing. A good menage novel may just be the first step to more sensuous sex. *wink*

Stay sexy,
Selena

PS. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Is Menage for you?

2008-11-02T04:10:00.000-08:00

When it comes to erotic romance, menage seems to be one of the top fantasies and a popular seller. For those monogamists out there, you might be wondering why.

I suppose one argument could be, erotic romance is a way to fulfill fantasies without actually having to find a 3rd wheel. True, many women fantasize about having another man in the bedroom. Just like our ads say, double the men, double the pleasure.

So how do you know if menage is a genre you'll like?

Decide if you want the fantasy or a romance. Any menage sold as an erotic romance will have at least one happily ever after. But some books are based on a triad romance. A romance between 3 people.

Leila and I have one of each for you to sample. Bitten in the Bayou has a romance in it, but not a triad. So sit back and enjoy.

Pure Fun...Pure Pleasure

2008-10-15T17:43:00.000-07:00

I loved writing a menage story. I mean what woman wouldn't love to be the center of two mens world. I must say that the one word that comes to mind when I think about it is 'intense'.

That is what I tried to bring that out in my story. The intensity of the relationship not only between the Lucian, Julian and Heather but also the intensity of the brother's relationship. I tried to show their fun loving side but also the bits of their character than made them unique.

In case you haven't read the book here is a quick Blurb:

Heather Crane makes a living helping couples become trios. After a chance encounter with the Grey brothers, she’ll put her knowledge of threesomes to personal use.
Julian and Lucian Grey want Heather for what she is. But they must learn who she is to truly understand the treasure they’ve found.

Excerpt:

Heather raced to her bedroom, grabbed the small suitcase, and was at the door before she sensed that someone was in her house. She’d been so close. So fucking close.
“Leaving?” a velvety voice asked from her dark kitchen.
“Whoever you are, get the fuck out of my house. I didn’t invite you in.”
“You opened the door to me earlier. I’d call that an invitation.” another voice interrupted from her bedroom.
The same voice from this afternoon. The damned delivery guy. “Look. You were delivering a package. I never invited you in.”
“You touched me.”
“That was an accident. You dropped the files.”
“No. You dropped the files. I was helping you pick them up.”
“Look, why don’t we call this an honest mistake, and you can leave.” The door was close enough that she should be able to get out of it before they reached her.
“I don’t think so.”
“I don’t even know you,” she turned toward the new guy, “so I know I didn’t invite you in.”
She gasped as two men stepped from the shadows. Both looked like the deliveryman from earlier today. Her heart jumped. Their dark hair was cut in the same cropped style, barely hitting their ears. Mirror images. Almost. The angrier one had the slight point at the top that most Fae possessed.
One smiled at her with a slightly lopsided grin, the other frowned. They both sported full lips. Lips just right to latch onto her pussy and suck her straight into an orgasm.
“If you invited him in, you invited me in, too.”
“Fuck.” Heather didn’t even bother trying to explain away what happened earlier. She dropped her bag and reached for the door. She opened it far enough to get a nice windy burst of night air before it jerked out of her hand and slammed shut.
Now would be a good time to be able to kick some ass. Too bad she couldn’t fight worth a damn.

If you enjoyed that then pop on over to Cobblestone Press and BUY YOUR COPY!

~Addictive Erotic Romance You Can't Resist~

Care for a Ménage à Trois?

2008-09-30T15:14:00.000-07:00

Be honest with me. Have you ever fantasied about a ménage à trois? Don’t lie. I’d be willing to bet a majority of us have.

To me, it’s the ultimate sensual experience. Three people coming together to enjoy each other.

Forbidden.
Seductive.
Hopefully, out-of-this-world pleasure.

Ménage à Trois is by no means a contemporary practice. I imagine it’s almost as old as the sex act itself. We are, at our core, sexual beings. We can achieve great pleasure and happiness, even relaxation through sex.

We are also an animal that likes variety. What is it they say? Oh yes, variety is the spice of life.

A ménage is definitely spicy and most certainly offers the variety that readers desire. Don’t deny it. I know it’s true.

Why Read a ménage à trois?

I read for pleasure. To escape. To feel the passion, desire, and love that the author writes about…that the characters live. I read erotic romance to feel something.

If you’ve ever read a scene that made your stomach flutter and your insides go mushy, then you know what I’m talking about here. In a ménage, when you have two partners…just imagine the pleasure. The feelings and flutters.

And just think…you can read, experience, feel those wonderful flutterings in the privacy of your own home. Incredible this thing we know as ebook publishing. Providing stories of love, romance and yes, even multiple partners who will light your fire…all in a small package. Available immediately, privately, and you don’t have to avoid the eyes of the cashier at the store. Delicious, yes?

Have you read one?

Have you read a ménage à trois book yet? What did you think? Hot? Steamy? Fulfilling? Don’t be shy. Leave a comment below.

Why not?

If you haven’t read a ménage yet, take a step into new territory. I think you’ll enjoy yourself. Remember, just because you read about it, even enjoy it, doesn’t mean you have to act it out in real life.

Erotic Romance gives us a break from normal life, a safe place to explore and live out our fantasies. And in a ménage à trois novel, you can enjoy all the sensations that two mouths, four hands, and an extra hard-muscled body can provide.

A Sneak Peek

Just to whet your appetite a little, I have an exclusive excerpt for you from my new book Bitten In The Bayou (available July 11th from Cobblestone Press).

If you read the first book in the Stormy Weather series, The Cajun’s Captive, you briefly met Jules and Andre. Get to know them a little better in book two.

Bitten In The Bayou by Selena Blake

Jules and Andre Deveraux have been hired to find wildlife photographer Angelica Humphrey. She’s lost somewhere in the Louisiana bayou and there’s a hurricane brewing.Angelica has never met anyone like Jules or Andre and she’s instantly attracted. But she doesn’t have time to act on her desire because she has to get away from the ex-boyfriend who stalks her. They take her back to their cabin, offering her protection and shelter from the storm.

But Angelica quickly finds herself falling under their spell and they happily show her that if one Deveraux is good, two are infinitely better.

EXCERPT

The lights flickered once, twice, and then they were cast into darkness. With no light, her other senses immediately took over. The rain beat against the house furiously. It seemed alive, like it was trying to claw its way in. A nervous tremor coursed through her veins.

A heavy hand settled on her knee, and she jumped, a girly squeal erupting from her throat.

“Shh… you’re okay. Let your eyes adjust.” By the tone she could tell it was Jules who was comforting her.

Slowly the candle light from the living room brightened their corner of the kitchen.

“Looks like we’re done for a while,” he said, his voice low… seductive.

She turned to look at him, able to make out his features, the hungry look in his eyes. Glancing over at André, she saw him watching her closely. The intimate inspection unnerved her. Made her want to shift in her seat.

But the hand on her knee squeezed gently, reassuring her. When she looked into Jules’ eyes, she hardly noticed the rumble of thunder or the howling wind.

“I want to kiss you,” he whispered.

“Are you asking permission?” she asked and held her breath.

“No,” he said roughly, and before she could blink, his lips were crushing hers. She shifted toward him, closing her eyes. He cupped her cheek in his hand, and she wanted to rub herself against it. To soak up his warmth, his strength.

He probed at her lips with his tongue, and she opened for him. As his tongue swept inside she heard someone groan. She wasn’t sure who.

He tasted rich… of wine and gumbo. Their tongues danced back and forth, and she clung to his shoulders. Her breasts were heavy and aching for his touch. She felt hungry, empty.

Slowly he severed the kiss, and a tiny sound of protest escaped her lips.

“Damn, you know how to kiss. So soft and tempting. Giving and demanding all at once,” he said, sounding out of breath. “I could kiss you for hours.”

That could be arranged, she thought blissfully.

It was as if the whole day, since she’d first caught sight of them in the woods, had been leading up to this moment. Priming her, readying her for his kiss. His touch.

A warm hand curled around her shoulder, and she turned to look up at André. That predatory look was back, and it called to something inside of her. Quickly she glanced back at Jules.

He cocked his head to the side. “You didn’t think he was going to let me keep you all to myself, did you?”

Before she could answer André wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her up into the circle of his arms. His lips came down hard on hers. Hot and demanding. This was no slow taste test. It was pure urgency. Breath-stealing, soul-searing passion. He held her close, his hands branding her through the thin fabric of the T-shirt.

Bitten In the Bayou by Selena BlakeFirst Jules. Now Andre. If he hadn’t been kissing her senseless, she was sure she would have wondered at the fact that she had let two gorgeous Cajuns kiss her. Within seconds of each other, no less. But his lips chased away all coherent thought, and the only signals being sent to her brain were pleasurable feelings.

She let her hands slide up the solid wall of his chest and settle on his broad shoulders. Touching him was a sensual journey all its own. His muscles rippled beneath her fingertips, causing her to tingle deep inside. Moisture pooled between her thighs.

The tip of his tongue swept along the seam of her lips, but instead of seeking entrance, she realized he’d licked her. Her knees went weak, and he held her to him as if she weighed nothing at all.

All the wonderful, sexy sensations bombarding her made her light-headed. This was her ultimate fantasy. Could she be dreaming? She didn’t think so. She’d never have come up with anything this perfect. Her imagination wasn’t overly fruitful. And in her wildest dreams she’d never met two men who could equal Jules or André.
