BLURB:
After his stepfather nearly ruins both his family name and business, Damien Fiorenza becomes suspicious of everyone—except for his long-time partner, Ethan Lord. He doesn’t trust people in authority, much less the woman who weasels her way into his walled-up heart alongside his lover of fifteen years.
Ethan dislikes his empathic abilities, especially since they allow him to feel his mother’s indifference towards him, her only son. Damien, however, has always made Ethan feel needed. Appreciated and protected. But, he can’t voice what Ethan is desperate to hear. Falling for their new secretary is unexpected, but she encourages and supports him in ways Damien won’t.
Shaylia Bright’s father chose his secret family over her and her mother. Ever since, she’s striven to be the best she can be, unable to stomach being second best. Although an office romance is taboo, she can’t deny the passionate chemistry among the three of them and finds herself drawn to both her bosses.
A dark and deep secret from the past forces Damien to raise his defenses. Haunting revelations tear everyone apart, dooming Shaylia to second best and Ethan to an incomplete life. Wrought with insecurity and stubbornness, can they find the courage to accept parts of their painful past in order to forge a path together, towards a happily ever after?
REVIEW:
Everyone knows I love triads and a lucky girl with two hot bisexual men makes for some fun times.
Damien is set to leave that day for a four-week business trip to England when his longtime lover/best friend and business partner Ethan drops a bomb on him. Ethan is ready to go part-time with Damien’s family company and finally pursue his life long dream…opening an Art Gallery and showing his and other’s art. Ethan is an empath and painting is his way of escaping and dealing with others feelings and needs. Is it all over for Damien and Ethan after all this time. And what about that sexy temp secretary that has caught Ethan’s eye?
I immediately liked Ethan. He stood up for what he needed from Damien after waiting most of his adult life. Damien took me quite a bit longer to warm up to. He was self-centered and took from Ethan too much. I know his dominant personality made him more demanding but it should have also made him more nurturing. And I get that he has major trust issues however 10+ years with his soul mate should have allowed him to at least tell Ethan he loved him! Shaylia was a breath of fresh air for Ethan and the perfect addition for the three of them.
This author did something I didn’t see coming and took me by total surprise with her twist that almost collapsed their shaky but growing triad. That is not something that is common for me and was a refreshing surprise.
I am going to put this straight out there for you…if you don’t want to hear about MF or MMF or MFM and “pink parts”, as one of my male friends calls it, then this book is definitely NOT for you. This book has plenty of good old man-on-man action but there is quite a bit of male/female action with no other man in sight. This is the forming of a triad with two established bisexual males that have been in a long term serious relationship. They have brought others in to play before but never to establish a new relationship as a triad with a female.
I enjoyed this book and the many twists and turns as these three worked at redefining a relationship that would work and meet their needs.
