First off I have to say there will be one SPOILER in my review. I was really excited to read Ella's Triple Pleasure. One woman trying to figure out a way to have a relationship with three different men sounded like an out of the box, sexy premise. Unfortunately, it wasn't executed well. Ella is a widow with three teenage children. 2 are 17-year-old twin boys with genius IQs. The other is a 19-year-old young woman in her freshman year of college. Ella's been left in dire financial straits, as any money she and her husband had went to paying off his medical bills, and the rest was conned out of him in his last, paranoid days by his sleazy parents. So now she's working hard at her spa/masseuse center to raise money to fund her daughter's college tuition and her sons' upcoming college tuition. Sounds like a good story, right?

Unfortunately, Anna Lores just throws 3 men at the reader and expects us to know who they are and why they're important to Ella. I felt as if I were missing something really important when Cade, then Garrett, then Derek were introduced. I figured out that they were important, but I wasn't told why. Barely any details on Ella's past connections to them. It's as if this were an established weekly TV series that's about halfway through the season, and everyone who watches knows what's going on. Then in I come and am trying to figure out what the heck, who the heck, WTF, is going on. That is the feeling I had throughout this entire story. Not a good feeling.

As for the characters, I really ended up liking Cade and his dad, and that's about it. Ella was a mess, a b****y mess, her sons were mildly entertaining, but obnoxious as 17-year-olds tend to be, especially Jason, her daughter was a spoiled, shallow little princess, Garrett was just weird and presumptuous and Derek was...well, quite frankly, kind of unnecessary. I didn't connect with any of them except Cade, and even with Cade, I didn't love him or anything. As hot as the sex scenes were, and they were definitely HOT, I never felt the love between them, didn't believe in it, didn't feel it was strong or even love at all. About the only love I believed was the love between Cade and his dad, and the love Ella had for her children and her dead husband. *SPOILER ALERT* Not sure how she could have loved him, considering he tricked her, literally tricked her, into marrying him.

Then you throw in some random drama with a psycho stalker, add in Ella's husband's bizarre behavior during his final days, that I think was supposed to give Ella's Triple Pleasure either some edge or just make it even more dramatic. I'm not sure why any of it was included because it didn't add anything positive or necessary to this at all. Weird, random plot points like this drive me crazy!

If you want to read some fairly erotic fiction about one woman trying to figure out a relationship with three different men that has mild MM, hot MF and MMF, then this is the book for you. However, if you want a well rounded, emotionally balanced and fully fleshed out romance, look elsewhere.
