Laid Bare (Brown Family #1) by Lauren Dane

Blurb:

Unexpected Desire…

It’s been ten years since clean-cut, sexy-as-hell police officer Todd Keenan had a white-hot fling with Erin Brown, the provocative, wild rocker chick next door. Their power exchange in the bedroom got under his skin. But love wasn’t in the cards just yet…

Now, life has thrown the pair back together. But picking up where they left off is tough, in light of a painful event from Erin’s past. As Todd struggles to earn her trust, their relationship takes an unexpected and exciting turn when Todd’s best friend, Ben, ends up in their bed–and all three are quite satisfied in this relationship without a name. As the passion they share transforms Erin, will it be enough to help her face the evil she thought she had left behind?

My Review:

I enjoyed the book the two main characters were well developed, but I felt that Ben could have been wholly excluded and it would not have detracted from the overall story. In my opinion, we don’t really get to know him, and while both Erin and Todd’s perspectives are numerous, it’s rare to see it from Ben’s. It is like the triad is created purely to add extra kink. I am going to stick with the series and hope they prove more enjoyable.
