Loving You Easy is the 9th book in the Loving on the Edge series by Roni Loren. Each book is a standalone story, though the characters are interconnected. I am a huge fan of this series, but I will warn readers that this series might not be for everyone. Each book is an erotic novella, often times dealing with BDSM elements as well as M/M action or menage relationships. That is not the case with every book, but if those things bother you then this series might not be for you. Loving You Easy is a menage story, featuring two men and one woman.
After another disappointment in her love life, Cora Benning decides to take things virtual. She joins Hayven, a place where she can explore and be herself without having to worry about being face to face with those that she is interested in. There she is Lenore, and she soon finds herself connecting with Dom Dmitry. But when when the game gets hacked, Cora finds herself in a situation where she will do anything to protect herself and the others in the game. As an IT specialist and certified white hat hacker, Cora takes a job for the game makers in order to beef up security and close all the holes in the game. What she doesn't expect is to be so drawn to the two men who own the business and are best friends. As each of them get to know one another, they soon find that their desires and needs match. But is Cora ready to take things from her virtual world and turn them into her reality?
These characters were fantastic! Roni Loren has such a way with words, and her stories are always more than just erotica. Ren, Hayes, and Cora were all deep and well written. You could feel their struggles and see how well they all fit together. They had each been through things that had them holding back at times or feeling insecure or unsure of themselves, yet when the three of them came together it was clear just how much they belonged together. I loved the support and connection between them all. Not only were they emotionally connected, but the chemistry between them was off the charts. These characters were so hot together, and you could feel the passion between them!
Overall, this was another fantastic addition to this series. I love how Roni Loren can always write a book that is so steamy, yet it also is a great story. The sex was hot, but it was so much more than that and Roni Loren does it perfectly. I couldn't put this book down, I had to know what would happen for Ren, Hayes and Cora. This series is one that I have loved from the very beginning, and with each new book I continue to be amazed at Roni Loren's ability to not only deliver with each new novel, but to give us stories that are unique and just seem to get better with each book. If you like erotica but want there to be a great story along with the sexy times, the Loving on the Edge series is an absolute must read.

This one might be in contention for the favorite on the series. Be prepared for some seriously epic poly interactions.

I'm coming at this as a person who hasn't read a whole lot of menage/poly books and doesn't really know that much about the lifestyle. I'm not even sure if calling it a menage is proper?
Right off the bat I have to say that this type of relationship has always caused a problem for me, not because I'm judging the people who can pull it off, but because I know that my jealous heart couldn't ever be successful in it. I always feel like one person isn't receiving the same attention as the other and it does things to me. Admittedly I haven't read a whole lot of these types of books for that reason.
That being said, when I do get the urge for this type of book, Roni Loren will always be my go to author for it. Again, not knowing much about the lifestyle, I can only assume that she writes these scenarios more realistically than most. At least when I think of this lifestyle and the people who live it, I hope that these are the rules that are followed.
I easily fell in love with both Ren and Hayes, though I felt more of a connection to Hayes and a pull to his character. I really enjoyed Cora and her guarded feistiness. She's insecure in a lot of ways but confident in strong in others. It was inspiring to see her accept who she was and not be ashamed of it. The three of them together really were "meant to be".
This story wasn't just lifestyle and sex though, the mystery and suspense aspect was intriguing, yet believable and I couldn't stop reading. And if ever there was a better way to end a book, I haven't read it yet.
If you enjoy a good poly/menage story then I know you'll love this one. If you're unsure about wading into this territory, I highly suggest reading Roni Loren to dip your feet in and test the water.

5/5 stars; when i tell you roni loren does NOT miss. she is one of the only spicy authors (that I've read) who manage to have a very interesting and stimulating plot alongside some of the spiciest smut i've ever read! i was into the plot the entire time, the twists and turns and the relationship between the characters was so well done! i wish there had been more scenes of ren and hayes with cora there, if that makes sense but that would be my only complaint! i am a big "relationship-centered" kind of girl rather than "plot-centered", but i was pleasantly surprised too see neither one overwhelmed the other. i enjoyed the plot throughout just as much as i LOVED the relationships.
speaking of relationships, i AM IN LOVE with authors who choose for there to be a relationship between the two men as well as both men with the woman; that is so sexy to me. i also loved how in the end it wasn't "let's get married and have 30 babies". no, they just asked her to move in with them which is a reasonable request after a significant amount of time. this book was one of the only stories recently where i wanted to know more after the end of the book. i loved these characters and their story sm i just wanted to keep reading. some books are WAY too long and you wish there was about a 150 less pages whereas this one could have had 100 more and i still might not have been ready to say goodbye.
if i could experience this level of spice once in my life, i would be v grateful... hayes and ren have my heart... along with other body parts. will be re-reading anytime i want to feel something again.
ren, hayes, and cora 4eva !!
spice: 453972658/5 (bow down to men written by women aka hayes fox and ren muroya)
