Blurb:
Two cops walk into a bar. Mason, the bartender, waits for the punch line, because no way in hell are these ridiculously hot men real cops. They’re straight out of a cop-fetish fantasy. But he quickly learns that Jack and Gray are the real deal, and they want him in the worst way. What starts as a night of hot, three-way sex becomes a lot more. The two cops fulfill Mason’s submissive fantasies, but they also meet a more basic need, comfort. They want to take care of Mason, to offer him unconditional friendship, but their concern for him unnerves Mason more than even the kinkiest sex. To find happiness with his new partners, Mason must change his belief that love is as much a fantasy as a pair of gorgeous, handcuff-wielding cops landing in his bed.
Review:
I have to say it’s been a while since a story caught me so quickly. Mason is a sweet man who has such low self-esteem that he doesn’t understand at first when Jack and Gray start hitting on him. It’s a good thing they’re persistent.
Jack and Gray are partners in every sense of the world. They are two cops who are hiding who they are to each other so they can stay working together but it weighs heavily on both of them. Their love is undeniable though and I loved reading about how they are together.
Mason finally gives in to the overwhelming need that he has to be with Jack and Gray but tries desperately to keep his heart out of it. He fails miserably. With these two men, Mason is finally able to give in to his submissive nature and feel safe enough to let himself have the things that he’s always longed for. Jack and Gray’s combination of strength and caring is something he has only dreamed of and never wants to lose but he doesn’t want to come between the two men he’s come to care for so much.
It takes a crisis and Mason ending up in danger for him to realize that maybe he can have everything he craves and they come together in a spectacular fashion.
The characters in this story are big and bright and seem to shine from the page. The emotions the three men share are intense and feel very real. Gray is a big man who’s very dominant but he also shows that sometimes he needs to be the one taken care of. Jack is someone who likes to take care of people and his relationship with Gray and Mason gives him that. Mason is a lost soul who just wants someone to love him as he is. Tired of trying to get his family to accept him, when Jack and Gray fit him in to their loving relationship it’s a little hard for him to believe.
The only issue I came up with is that the author sometimes falls too quickly to sex to fix a bump in their road when a real conversation would have been a more realistic way to go.
All in all, Fitting In is an excellent read. You have characters that are easy to love and fun to read. If you’re like me, you will want to smack all of them up the back of the head more than once for their frustrating oblivion but in the end you will cheer when they finally figure it out.
As it is the first book in a (hopefully fruitful) series, I look forward to seeing what comes next for Gray, Jack and Mason.
