About the book:

Three lovers really click in the latest from the New York Times bestselling author of Call on Me—
 
Cora has an amazing sex life. She’s beautiful, daring, and the most popular submissive in Hayven. Too bad none of it’s real...
 
IT specialist Cora Benning has figured out the key to her formerly disastrous love life—make it virtual. In the online world of Hayven, she’s free of her geek girl image and can indulge her most private fantasies with a sexy, mysterious master without anyone in her life discovering her secrets. Until her information is hacked and she finds herself working to fix the breach under two very powerful men—one who seems all too familiar...

Best friends and business partners Ren Muroya and Hayes Fox were once revered dominants. Then Hayes was wrongfully sent to prison and everything changed. Ren wants to get back to who they were. Hayes can’t risk it. But when they discover the new IT specialist is their online fascination, and that she’s never felt a dominant’s touch, the temptation to turn virtual into reality becomes all too great…

My Thoughts:
Cora Benning is hasn’t had much luck in the romance department. Lackluster relationships that never really turn her crank, until she starts playing an online game, Hayven, with Dmitry, a dominant player. Soon, Cora is not only playing with him online, but also sharing their day through text messages, becoming close, and she finds herself falling for her virtual boyfriend.  But Cora’s world is jolted when someone from the virtual game of Hayven tracks her down to take her online playing into the real world.  Just how this man was able to find out her identity is frightening, but being a computer security specialist/hacker for hire, Cora is up to the challenge of finding out how her personal information was breached.  And this is what brings her into the world of the Hayes and Ren, the owners of Hayven; two intense and seductive men who turn Cora’s world upside down.

While I’ve said this before, threesomes always give me pause, because I have a hard time accepting it as relationship that could survive and thrive in the real world.  I always think one of the three would end up feeling like a third wheel so I usually take a pass when a story involves a threesome. However, I couldn’t pass on a Roni Loren romance so I gave Loving You Easy a shot.  While it wasn’t my favorite story from Ms. Loren, because of my personal prejudices about ménages, Loving You Easy was still a captivating story!   But I think I would’ve enjoyed the story more if it was just Cora and Hayes.  The close bond they shared first online and then in person was more believable, and adding Ren into the mix, while thrilling, diluted the intensity and rightness of Hayes and Cora. 

Roni Loren is the queen of erotica, IMO. She can light my fires like no other writer, and yet her stories are not just sex, sex, sex, which is why I think they’re so freaking hot! She gives you the heart of her characters, makes you feel what they feel, builds the sexual tension, and then finishes it off with the most deliciously wicked scenes!  Loving You Easy was no exception.
