I enjoyed the first one. It was just the right combination of erotic and romantic and I felt the flow to the ending was the most natural of the three. My second favorite was the last one but because it suggests a more active passion in the younger years. A more dirty naughty kind. The middle one felt like the middle of the road between the two. It felt more physical than the first one but not as naughty as the third. I think if I could only experience one of them I would definitely choose to read the first.
