Exploring Limits by Nicki Bennett & Ariel Tachna

Exploring Limits is a sexy ménages romp between three very different men who find in each other the perfect chemistry. For once it’s prim and proper England who debauches friendly America.

Jonathan is the new American actor who will play the role of King Arthur in a tv fiction about Camelot; Jonathan is a mid thirty good fellow, friendly and nice. From the first day he tightened a friendship with Devon, the same age English actor who is playing Lancelot. Their friendship is the classical beer and chat bond, both men with the same experience and attitude in life. Or almost. Since in one thing Devon is different from Jonathan, he likes men and he has never had a problem to indulge in his desire; on the contrary Jonathan has never had the courage to follow his desires, first probably for his young age and later since he said to himself that he would have not been a good example for his son. But now Jonathan is far from home and in a set where almost all the actors are handsome men, and looking but not touching is a torture.

Without a third party, probably Devon and Jonathan’s relationship would have been only friendship, but young Kit, who plays the role of chaste Percival (and he is chaste only on stage) has other idea. He wants Jonathan, but he understands that Devon is a formidable opponent, and instead of challenge him for Jonathan, he decides to draw a pact of alliance: both of them to the conquest of their king.

Probably, in this case, a ménages is the only solution: Kit and Devon alone without Jonathan are not a likely couple, Kit is too vanilla for Devon, and probably Devon can be interested in Kit for a funny temporary romp, but he is too young for Devon. Devon needs someone more similar too him for a steady relationship, someone like Jonathan. At the same time Kit and Jonathan alone without Devon are too “young”, Kit for age, Jonathan for experience, to last; they need the experience of Devon to lead them from one night stand to relationship. Maybe Jonathan and Devon alone have some more change, but in the end, probably they would be bored, Kit gives them that spicy more to last.

After the initial seduction of Jonathan, the story more or less is a continuous learning session on the joy of sex, and so, reader, sit comfortably, and enjoy the ride; there will be no angst, only light and funny entertainment. The only bump the realization that, even if more experience than Jonathan in Manlove, Kit, after all, is really the youngster to be cherished and cuddled, more than roughhoused.

uhm, questa volta vado contro corrente. Non sono riuscita ad apprezzare questa storia e mi sono dovuta fermare a metà.

Non so come spiegare ma l'ho trovata faticosa da leggere, quasi disgiunta. Prendo sempre con le pinze i ménages ma dato le autrici speravo in qualcosa di più.

Hai notato la mia ultima sentenza? era per dire che, forse, c'era un po' troppo sesso e poca storia. L'incipit era buono, non mi sarebbe dispiaciuto un po' di sviluppo in più. Elisa
