'the delicious threesome' by Cindy Pon -- More 'From the Backlist' Goodness!

 .
Our own Supernatural Underground backlist that is -- and today's fabulous reprise is from the wonderful Cindy Pon

Needless to say, we think it's a lot of fun. So much so that we just had to highlight it for you again today.

the delicious threesome...or is three a crowd?

by Cindy Pon

as a tween, one of my favorite series
of books was the single title historicals
(like "jacqueline" or "caroline") and it
always showed the teen heroine on the front
cover flanked by two boys. two boys that she
must choose between. i loved those books,
formulaic as the love triangle may have been.
the new period in history always made it fresh
enough for me to read almost every title in the
series. of late, there's been some discussion
on the love triangle within the young adult genre.

The Twilight effect...

is it overused? tired and worn out? o
the threesome configuration one of the best
ones to read for increased sexual and romantic
tension? like so many things in the young adult genre
that i attribute to "the twilight effect", the series really
put the love triangle at the forefront of YA reader minds. ...

*when two men love a woman.

...

so what about you? how do you feel about
love triangles? do they work for you?
what threesome novels are some of your favorites?
