BLURB:
A year ago I lost everything and moved across the country to try and start over. It wasn’t easy, but I found a job I love, I have friends who’ve become my family, and I’m ready to start exploring my bisexuality.
Just when I think things are finally starting to go my way, I show up to work and find out the new guys on the crew are the super-hot couple I hooked up with last weekend.
F*ck. My. Life.
Now I’m stuck spending my days with the men who not only popped my dude cherry, but the ones I can’t stop thinking about.
The ones I have to try and be friends with after they awakened a part of me I didn’t even know was there.
The ones I can never have again.
Until one night turns into two, then more.
Being with Ezra and Wesley feels right, even if everything I was taught tells me it’s wrong. I can’t deny the pull between us, or how safe and seen they make me feel.
But how can two men who love each other as much as Ez and Wes ever feel the same for me?
Jett, Ezra, and Wesley’s book is a coworkers-to-friends-to-lovers romance featuring a lonely man looking for his place in the world, and the adventurous couple who can’t stay away from him. You can expect hurt/comfort, first times, found family, lots of heat, tons of dirty talk, some kink, and all the feels as this triad figures out that sometimes love is best in threes. It is the sixth book in the exciting new Crimson Club series but can be read as a standalone. Please note that this is an MMM romance with no cheating.
REVIEW:
Note: This is the sixth book in this series. It does contain spoilers for previous books but can be read as a standalone.
This story involved Jett, a bartender at Crimson Club and carpenter on Quinn’s construction crew and Ezra and Wesley, a couple who also work for Quinn. Jett meets Ezra and Wes at Envy, a gay club. He’s just had some news from the family that ghosted him and it was a deliberate communication to hurt him. He’s angry and lonely. When Ez and Wes reach out to him, he dances with them and then they all decide to take things further at a hotel room they’ve got for the night. Jett does not confess that he’s never been with a guy before, let alone two.
The next week, he is introduced to them as co-workers and freaks out. He never expected to see them again, so it’s pretty shocking to just see them on the job. They don’t act like they’ve met before and keep his secret. He’s not out as bi to anyone yet and he’s still recovering from what his family and community did to him after his wife cheated on him with his best friend and HE was labeled the bad guy. He’s been gone for a little over a year and he’s trying to move on with his life. But he really enjoyed his time with Ez and Wes.
They are friendly at work and when Jett finally moves out on his own after living with his aunts, the guys help him move. Ez and Wes stick around and well, their one off happens a second time. This sets off some alarm bells for the couple because one of their rules is no repeats. But they like this guy and they are going to keep seeing him at work so . . .
Things go a little wonky because Ez and Wesley aren’t communicating and feel guilty. They both have feelings for Jett. They sort of agree to “date” him, but they haven’t been honest with Jett about what they are doing. This leads to a potential issue with Jett assuming things. It take a bit for them all to get on the same page and determine how they want to move forward. It will take a lot of patience and honestly and yes, talking and communicating to make this work for everyone.
I enjoyed this story. There is less Crimson Club in this one, although we do get glimpses of our favorite dancers. There is more with Quinn’s crew in this one than strictly in the club itself. Jett has been damaged by his upbringing and then abandoned by his family and friends. He’s really on his own and he’s had trouble coping. Joining Quinn’s crew, working at Crimson and eventually meeting Ez and Wes are what help keep him grounded and finally get some healing from his past. Ez and Wes have been together so long and changing their relationship is scary. But it’s worth it when they find Jett. All in all a happy ending for everyone. Recommended for fans of established couples adding a third and polyamory romances with HEAs.
