Book 1 in the Phoenix Rising series!
The Law of the love goddess Lufra states that no man may take his pleasure inside any part of a woman's body, unless she has climaxed first. Each time, every time. But when warrior-scout Anje is taken captive by Brin, Lufra's shaman, she discovers that not even divine law can protect her from the erotic wiles of two determined men.
Huge, dark and enigmatic, Brin wears a tattoo of the holy dragon on his magnificent body. Years of erotic training have given him skills and stamina Anje cannot match. But it's the strength of his will that threatens to conquer her very soul, while his beautiful young friend Trey has a bravado and a vulnerability that make her mouth water.
Anje fears Brin's arrogant prediction may be true—"You'll surrender, scout, and you'll glory in it. You'll abandon yourself and adore it. Because you trust—trust absolutely." Screaming and cursing her ecstasy, she learns that dark raptures are addictive. But neither man is what he seems and all three are pawns in a suicidal scheme to placate an angry goddess. Saving her lovers will take everything Anje's got—as a woman and a warrior.

I loved this. The boys are so good to Nix. The writing is pretty simple and each character's voice isn't super well defined when the POV switches but I still devoured this book and immediately started book 2.
Updated review with a re-read)
I started this book looking for something HOT, and it definitely delivers.
The sex scenes are VERY sensual and deliciously explicit, just how I like ‘em. ;-) There is M/F/M but also M/M. I love the dynamic of the relationship between the three main characters. Anje (F) dominates Trey (M), while Brin (M) dominates Anje, or Trey, or BOTH.
The alternate world the author has created is a bit over the top but it works. Lots of mention of pleasure slaves, and when you have an orgasm, it's an offering to the goddess, etc.
An entertaining read that sizzles!
