| Cassandra Abernathy is embarking on a new life. She inherited a house in a small town, and has decided to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fresh start. She spent years married to an abusive man, then years hiding from him - and this place looks like just what she needs.
Matthew and David Carlisle, twin brothers, have had a rough few years themselves. All they really want is to find a woman who will love them both. When they meet Cass, they're pretty sure she's the "one". But Cass isn't sure she's the best thing for them. Can they convince her to give them a chance? Table for Three is a great example of my favorite fantasy, a permanent ménage a trois. Ms. Martine did a wonderful job of making me believe in the fantasy. She's taken an unfortunately familiar story - a woman escaping an abusive relationship - and put a unique twist on it. I liked Cass, she was obviously trying to overcome some severe trauma, but determined to make a life for herself and not be a victim. She had obvious insecurities, but without feeling sorry for herself. Matt and David are two sexy guys who are perfect in my opinion - their strongest desire is to make the woman they love happy, whatever it takes. And they've also had to overcome some big setbacks, which makes them more complex and interesting. The pacing was consistent, and the book had a great balance of emotion, suspense, and incredible sex. I only had one problem with the story - I felt that there was a small part left without closure. But perhaps it was simply a set-up for a sequel - which I would love to see! If you're a fan of ménage stories, this one is well worth reading!
