REVIEW:
I am not happy with this book at all. And it’s made me not want to read anything else from this author. And if you know me, I don’t say that lightly.
This book is nothing but cheating, games, and lies. Two people who are supposed to be engaged. One is flirting with a coworker and trying to sleep with him. The other is actually sleeping with said man and when caught by the first, the first is pissed. Pissed at his boyfriend for cheating, even though he clearly wanted to and pissed at the guy because he is sleeping with his fiance and not him. These two engaged are hurting people, because they ensnare more in their web of wanting to screw. They end up in a threeway with the original guy but end up hurting him by having a threeway with another and getting caught. Plus there are other guys on the side. It’s just ridiculous. They get mad and jealous and all weepy and stuff and yet they don’t stop and they don’t stop ruining people’s lives. I was just disgusted.
I don’t try to judge people’s lifestyles. If you are happy in a poly relationship, then my hat off to you. If you are in an open relationship, ok. But if you are hurting people by the games you are playing and getting mad because you find out your other is cheating when you want to and are trying…..that’s just too far.
