BLURB:

Three men. One night that will change everything.

Hooking up with not one, but two gorgeous men is the perfect antidote to my Saturday night boredom, especially when they know how to push all my buttons.

It was only supposed to be a one time thing, but Charles and Jude are utterly irresistible and I can’t help but go back for more. Not only are they sexy, charming, and determined to spoil me rotten, but they want to fulfil my deepest desire of having both a Sir and a Daddy.

But the two of them are already married and despite the fact their relationship has always been open, they’ve never considered inviting anyone in for more than a fling… and the more time we spend together, the more I can feel myself falling for them.

The three of us fit together so perfectly it’s like we were made for each other, but I don’t know if they’ll ever consider changing their entire lives for me.

Even if the only thing I want is to be their Orlando.

REVIEW:

Orlando is a wonderful character, he is full of life and sass, he shares a flat with Eli, a Drag Queen at The Court, who is his best friend, and his life is great.  If only he had someone to share it with, or even someone to have a one-night stand with.  What is a boy to do for fun on a hot Saturday night?

Charles and Jude are hot, older and married to each other, they are so in love and mean everything to each other.  But sometimes they want a third to join them and give them another dimension to their relationship they can’t give to each other.  They are sure nothing and no-one will ever mean more to them than each other but an occasional lover for a night or even a few weeks adds spice to their relationship.

Hooking up with Orlando via a dating app seems like another beautiful boy they want to spend the night with.  Neither of them realises what is in store for them when Orlando burst into their life.   One night is never going to be enough.

I really loved how this was written, how beautiful Charles and Jude’s relationship is together; how what starts as a night of fun turns into so much more.  Orlando wants desperately to be kept by these two gorgeous men, but thinks it is unlikely as they are happy and in love with each other.  The thing that shines through in this book is the really great communication between Charles and Jude, checking they are on the same page, admitting their feelings for each other and also their growing feelings for Orlando.  Orlando despite being younger enters the circle of trust and unfailingly gives both Charles and Jude exactly what they need.  It never feels it is a couple with an extra lover; indeed it felt like they were all part of a whole.

I really loved the dynamic between Orlando and Eli, the best friends who love each other unconditionally, who don’t shy away from saying the hard things, who even when they argue know they will always be there for each other, who are supportive of each other.  Orlando pushes Eli to fulfil his dreams and Eli pushes Orlando to pursue his ambitions.

This was a great book full of romance and love, with a lovely portrayal of a throuple that is open and honest.
