BLURB:
“Just once, I’d like to be part of my own couple, and not the third wheel.”
Jay Howard might look like Tinker Bell, but he’s looking for a man who will accept all facets of him – from flirty brat to dom top. With all his friends happily coupling up, Jay fears he’ll never find a man to love, much less one who loves all of him.
“Once again, fate has decided to have a laugh at my expense, because standing right in front of us is the only man I’ve never been able to get out of my head.”
Silas Boone III has been punishing himself for years for his younger self’s screw-ups. Just as he finds someone with the power to make him trust himself again, he’s confronted by a face from the past – one that reminds him of his mistakes and all the possibilities he once dreamed could be his.
“I’d found the love of my life. Most people don’t even get that much, so it felt selfish to look for more.”
After his boyfriend of nine years dies suddenly of a heart attack, Cameron MacGowan moves to Fort Collins for a fresh start. What starts as simple flirtation and easing back into dating turns into a tangle of longing and wanting for two totally different men.
Can Jay, Boone, and Cameron navigate through the treacherous waters of the past to reach a future together?
REVIEW:
So, I have to say that reading the other stories in this series would be really helpful because this one felt a little like we were being dropped into the middle of a story.
Jay, Boone and Cameron are all very different men. Jay and Cameron have been flirting around for a while but when Cameron and Boone meet, there is instant chemistry. I found it very ironic that Cameron, a man who never thought he’d love again is the catalyst for this relationship between the three men.
I’m not a big fan of the first person narrative and in this book we head hop between all three men in the story. It does lead to a little confusion, especially if you happen to miss the tag at the beginning of the segment that tells you whose head you are currently in.
However, the story is well written and the characters are easily to relate too. All three of them have been looking for something, and I like that once the story commits to the menage, it doesn’t falter in its determination.
Jay’s small size belies his big, dominant personality. Cameron’s steady presence is the rock that the other two men come to lean on. Boone is the surprise, the one who’s looking for someone to take control and help him steer his life on to the right course.
The three of them are perfect pieces to the puzzle that’s been their lives and watching them navigate the pitfalls of figuring out how to make their lives work with the three of them makes for an interesting read.
I do think the author glosses over the reality of the challenges that they would face living as a committed threesome but it is a romance after all and I do love my happily-ever-afters a little more than is reasonable.
Well written and I loved seeing the characters from the other books show up, like visits from old friends. I truly enjoyed this story and if you’ve never considered a menage story before, I hope you will give this one a try.
