| When lovers Christian and Joel advertise for a housekeeper/miracle worker, the guys get a whole lot more than either could have bargained for. Little Miss Susie Hood stumbles into their lives with her scraped knees from a tumble on her bike and the look of a beautiful and very innocent angel fallen from the sky. The attraction is instant and unstoppable for Christian and Joel. Both want to keep her in their lives and in their bed forever. She is everything they want and crave to make their lives complete. But she has to want both of them together, separately, and in all ways imaginable to them. As sexual desires run free and the relationship heats up, all three will be forced to make life altering decisions that has consequences far beyond their imagination. Sometimes love really can be the hardest and most fulfilling decision to make.
Ms. Elsborg has created an absolutely captivating story that sizzles with sensuality and a depth of emotions that draws the reader in and holds them hostage to the drama that unfolds literally page by page. The plot is delightful but what really makes this book stand out is the refreshing reality Joel, Christian. and Susie live with along with the complexity of their lives, love, family, and heartache issues. The author captures the poignant, painful, and wonderful times the characters must face with a stunning clarity that will dazzle the reader, giving them a memorable story that will stay with them for a long time. Joel, Christian, and Susie are complex, endearing, and dynamic characters that the reader can't help but fall in love with. The characters are well developed, emotionally flawed, and haunted by past events that they must work hard to overcome to be able to form a lasting bond with each other. It is truly delightful to see Susie break free of her shell -- emotionally and physically -- to become the intriguing and delightfully enchanting woman she was meant to be. Susie's family works wonderfully as secondary characters to help the reader better understand her life and what she has had to endure over the years. The randy love-play is not for the weak of heart. The sexually naughty loving is scorching in its uninhibitedly intense and raw passionate heat. The ménage relationship is portrayed as a natural thing between Joel, Christian, and Susie creating a tender and touching forever kind of bond. This is an utterly enthralling story that is extraordinary in its powerful message, the healing power of love transforms. Susie's Choice will touch every part of the reader's heart!
