Gray, Jack, and Mason are back. Their threeway relationship keeps growing stronger, and Gray ‘s feelings for his partners run deeper than he ever thought possible. While he’s learned to be romantic at home, at work, he’s still a big tough cop that nobody wants to cross. When the murders of several young prostitutes falls to him to solve, and he has no suspects and no motive, his confidence takes a hit. Every dead end, every day that goes by, adds to the urgency he feels to find the murderer.

He excels at taking care of both his men, in bed and out, but when it comes to accepting comfort in return, he shuts down, even with everything at work going to hell.

With his case weighing on him and his partners trying their best to help, Gray is going to have to figure out how a high-handed man like himself can let go.
Review:
I’m a fan of Silvia Violet and of this series so I jumped at the chance to review this story.
The author has always done a great job of portraying Gray, Jack and Mason’s relationship and the struggles they’ve had to overcome and I can see a lot of those elements in this book.
That being said, I had a bit of a problem with this one.
Gray is a police detective with a terribly difficult case and it’s affecting him constantly, including at home and in his relationship with this lovers. Mason and Jack are doing everything they can to help him, but Gray is not the kind of person who let’s people take care of him easily. It causes some stress in their lives as Jack and Mason figure out how to support Gray when he isn’t very forthcoming about what he needs.
I wanted so much to see these three men work out their issues and they do eventually, but honestly, the way they do it is where my problem lies.
This whole book is one big sex scene with small bits of police investigation in between. What these men needed was to TALK! But every single conversation was stalled out by one of them (usually Gray in his rush to evade actually working out a problem) pushing things to sex.
I love sex in my stories. In fact, I’m mighty disappointed when there isn’t any for the most part, but honestly? This was all a bit much for me. Feeling sad? Let’s fuck. Worried about your lover? Let me suck your dick. You almost died? Oh look, let’s have “life-affirming” sex.
This book is completely Gray-centric and apparently the only thing he knows how to do is angst over his cases (it’s a horrible case and he’s right to be worried about it) and distract Mason and Jack with so much sex they are too tired to ask questions.
I would have loved to have seen a few more conversations between them, maybe see Gray spend more time talking to his friends. Anything for more normal human interactions.
The side characters in the story are really not worth mentioning, mostly there to just advance what little plot there is.
I still love this amazing “thruple” but honestly, I was left fairly disappointed by this story. There was so much potential for some real emotional development here but it was all thrown under the bus in the name of hot sex.
And yes, as usual, the bedroom (or living room or wherever) scenes are extremely hot and well written, the writing is good and the editing very well done. All the elements I love about a Silvia Violet story are still there, they were just buried under a mountain of writing, hot bodies and I found it kind of a shame.
