GOOD ENOUGH TO SHARE (Good Enough, Book 1 –
Christmas) by Zara Stoneley
An erotic contemporary romance, including menage, F/M/F, M/F/M and sex outdoors.
One Christmas, four friends – but will they still be together by New Year?
Divorce wasn’t part of the plan for Holly,
but then again nor was spending the festive period with two sexy men and
Santa’s little helper! With a disastrous marriage behind her, and three good
friends who are willing to share, moving on could be fun – if only she can accept
that sometimes her heart is wiser than her head.
Dane doesn’t do commitment, which suits
Holly just fine. But when things heat up between the four friends, he’s forced
to face up to his past. Will realising he’s good enough mean he no longer wants
to share…?
Laid back Charlie
knows that if his best friend becomes his lover he could end up losing big
time. But can he resist? And when the girl he once loved comes back, who will
he decide to spend the New Year with?
…And Sophie
just wants to have fun. She’s got the answers to everyone's problems, except
her own …. is she the one who needs good friends most of all?
Will a caring, sharing, lust and love
filled Christmas lead to the happy ever after they all desire?
WARNING - Christmas may never seem the same again!

EXCERPT:
“You two out on the pull then?” You know how
some deep male voices have that perfect resonance to vibrate right down to the
bottom of your stomach and beyond? Yeah, that. I was blushing from the inside
out and I had completely and utterly forgotten about Charlie, with or without a
surfboard.
Christ, why was it
that every time Dane Stephens popped up I was dressed in something that either
said ‘shag me, I’m a complete tart’ or ‘I’m a complete saddo’? Or in this case
a mixture of both. The fact that Sophie and I were propping up the bar, both
with a goblet of wine in hand each didn’t help with the image much either.
“We’ve been
working.” I tried to keep my face straight and stop my nipples making a break
for freedom as the gorgeous guy who seemed to feature in every one of my
current run of dirty dreams rested his hand on my shoulder and sent a warm
thrill straight between my thighs. Along with a very strong urge to grab hold
of him and give him the type of kiss that would leave a lasting impression.
Gee, life would be so much easier if that kind of full frontal attack was one
of my special skills. It wasn’t. Best mates with a bit of flirting thrown in as
a side order was a better description of my capabilities.
I’d been having
dirty dreams about Dane for as long as I can remember. Well, probably since the
first time all six foot something of him had swaggered into this bar and given
me the type of smile that gave me an almost, emphasis on almost here, uncontrollable urge to strip every last inch of his
clothing off in slow motion. But I hadn’t, because nice girls don’t, do they?
“Been out
hammering shoes on?” I tweaked a bit of straw out of his thick dark hair and
resisted the urge to tangle my fingers in deeper, just in case I’d missed a
bit. And then rub a hand over that broad, strong chest just for good measure.
He was buff underneath that shirt, I just knew it. Well, I did actually. I’d
seen him strip to the waist the odd time at the tail end of the summer when
we’d actually seen a bit of that golden orb in the sky they call the sun, and
he’d built up a sweat manhandling horses. And along with every other girl on
the yard I’d gone weak-kneed and tried not to stare as I’d watched his muscles
ripple and a trickle of sweat bead its way down his back. A bead of sweat that
needed licking off.
I’d had a thing
about cowboys, well, since I was fifteen when my boy friend, as in two separate
words, had dragged me along to watch a western in the local cinema. His idea
had been to get his tongue down my throat, but he’d faded into insignificance
when the hero of the piece had got off his horse. This had been no normal
cowboy, he’d been naked down to the low slung jeans that barely scraped his
hips and when he’d slipped one hand under the waistband, just as he tugged the
girl in for a kiss the rush of dampness to my knickers had shocked me. And left
me squirming, and meant that the boy friend got an end of show, tongue twisting
snog that shocked me more than as it did him.
And as I grew up I
realized men like that just didn’t exist. I just never met a man who’d had the
same effect on me, not even the man I’d married had done that. Until Dane had
walked in four long months ago and been the nearest thing to a cowboy that the
English counties had to offer. He’d probably never had a Stetson on his head,
or a rifle in his hand, but I bet he’d look good on a horse and even if he
didn’t, in my mind it just didn’t matter. Dane was just hot, and made me hot,
and wet.
His jeans were
slung just the same, so I just knew I’d be able to see his hip bones if I
unbuttoned that thick cotton shirt. And boy did I want to, and I was just
itching to slip my own hand tight in there. I just needed an excuse and
September through December had left me too tongue-tied to find one. Even if my
horse seemed to be throwing a shoe on a weekly basis and he’d been out an
embarrassing number of times.
“Yeah, lots of thrown shoes, darling, you know ‘tis the season.” He
winked and my mouth watered. Literally. Much more and I’d be drooling, a
drooling elf who would have thought? Bugger, I really did need a plan or I’d be
spending another Christmas morning just wishing I’d asked Santa for the type of
toy box that had long life batteries and lube in it. But was quiet enough not
to disturb Charlie.
“Hi Dane, boy. We—” Sophie was practically
licking her lips, he had that effect on every female old enough to have
hormones, as she drew herself up to her full five-foot one and a half inches
and put a hand on his arm “—have been doing our good Samaritan bit.” She knew
him? I didn’t know which bit made the feeling of empty spread in my stomach,
the fact that she knew him, or she knew
him. Because from the way she was grinning in a slightly flirty, slightly too
cosy way meant she definitely knew
him. Every bit of him.
