This being not the longest story in the world, I wasn't expecting all that much in the way of character development, but I was pleasantly surprised at how fleshed out (no pun intended) the three main characters were. Kaycee being a model who is bored with the business sounds like a cringe-worthy foundation for a character, but happily, she's not at all vapid. Aside from a couple of less-than-bright decisions and complaining about how bored she is, she's smart, self-aware, and brave. The terror she experiences at the hands of the serial killer is palpable, but she doesn't allow that to defeat her: she's courageous and fights back. Tyler and Sam are interesting in that both are traditional alpha males, with Tyler being the one full of charm, while Sam is bursting at the seams with intensity. Their psychic connection is actually explored well enough that it seems believable, which is important given that their shared emotions necessitate finding one woman who will want to be with both of them forever. After Kaycee's first encounter with the aforementioned serial killer, the brothers spirit her away to their Texas home for protection. The events that follow are not all unpredictable, but they aren't the least bit boring. The glimpses we're given into the serial killer's mind are chilling and make the threat he presents immediate and horrifying. True, he's able to take actions throughout the piece with a little more ease than is realistic, but again, that takes a backseat to how menacing he is and how quickly the story moves along.As for the crux of the matter, the passion between Kaycee and the twins is incendiary and it becomes front and center immediately. There are numerous love scenes between Kaycee and one brother at a time, and there are also some featuring all three characters. Each and every one of those scenes is brimming with chemistry and heat. This is not one of those menage stories wherein two of the players seem more involved with/interested in each other while the third is essentially odd-man out: the brothers' desire for her is intense, and she is equally drawn to both men. Their non-sexual interactions are full of teasing and getting to know one another - there could have been more of the latter, but there was ultimately enough that the emotional connections that are developed are believable. This isn't an insta-love situation, at least on Kaycee's part, which I appreciate, as it allows her to use her head, explore her options, and figure out what she really wants in her life. All in all, this is a fast read that is eminently full of passion, heat, emotions, tension, and fear. (Plus, it includes the playful interactions of a cat and dog that are truly adorable and funny, which is always a bonus.) This was a well-written story - one that I enjoyed very much and that I would recommend to anyone looking for a good quality example of a story in this genre. This was one of the hottest books I have ever read, and conspiring the amount of romance novels I read, that is saying A LOT! The passion and heat definitely got to me and I couldn't stop reading it.I have read about threesomes before, but I think this one was one of the best, if not THE best I have ever read. Two friends sharing a woman just because is kind of unnatural and two brothers sharing a woman can sound weird. However, using the psychic link makes the story sound a lot more convincing. I have found it weird when the woman loves two men at the same time, even when they look very different. Here, the men are identical and are two parts of the same soul. The way they slowly prepared her to take a cock in her ass was really good. I didn't like how they kept giving her space and being scared of the relationship. If the story is going to emphasize that much about women have rejected them because they do not want a permanent threesome, add some more details about failed relationships. Have a character not one of the main cast talk about it or something, maybe have an ex lover show up. This was the first time I have read about a woman who just had sex with one guy immediately right after get off his cock and have another one enter her. She has sex with Sam alone first in a bed right after she has a nightmare, then Tyler alone on a horse stall wall, Sam and Tyler together for the first time in their home theater, Tyler alone in bed right after he pushes a butt plug into her (I find it interesting that she kept a butt plug in her for whole day(s?)), Sam and Tyler together on the couch with this being the first time a cock gets into her ass literally, and Sam alone in the shower.The thing is, if the guy was killing her look alikes for a long time now, how come the FBI didn't already try to coordinate with her and set up as bait or something. Why didn't she have a bodyguard? It is these obvious questions that annoy me. Also, the twins could have used something that belongs to the killer and content with him... They could have even used the stuff they found in the cave...Although the plot has a few holes, the chemistry alone is enough for me to recommend this to others.
What do You think about Their One And Only (2008)?
Great book, I loved the plot line and the suspense that increased as the killer got closer. 4 stars.
