Branson

My dad was my best friend.
He dreamed this big, adventure filled life for me. One I’ve been living every day. Finding someone to share it with led to a string of bad dates and a repeated broken heart. When a one night stand turned to more at the same time feelings started developing for my roommate, I thought I’d have to make a choice. When that turned out to not be the case and the three of us were happy together, I started to wonder if it was all too good to be true.

Noel

My dad was sick.
And I was a coward living on another continent too afraid to face his illness head on. I couldn’t keep hiding in the sand much longer though and falling in love made that so much harder to do. Because if I needed to leave, what would happen if they wouldn’t follow?

Milo

My dad was a monster.
I’d spent years working to pull myself from under his thumb. I had a job and an apartment, and I was making my own way. I also had two amazing boyfriends. And a secret. And a deep fear that my past and insecurities would destroy us.

REVIEW:

At seventeen Branson lost his beloved father, his best friend, before he died he made him a promise:
He would follow all his dreams. Live a life full of wonder and adventure. Fall in love and be happy.

At twenty-seven at his best friend’s wedding he’s the best man, and co best man is the very attractive Noel Bennett, a playboy. At the wedding, they have a quick f*ck, nothing unfamiliar for Branson.

Noel would love a different career, something impossible being the heir of a hotel mogul.
His future was already written for him at his birth thirty-seven years ago, now he’s running the Bennett Properties after his father had a heart attack.

Noel can’t get Branson out of his head, it was a quickie but dang!
Noel insists on a date, Branson wants something Noel surely can’t give him, he has to keep his distance.
While Noel is known as the rich playboy, he’s the one with all the feelings for Branson.

Twenty-four years old Milo finally has a place of his own to live, away from his abusive rich dad, his head is poisoned with his old man’s toxic words. Milo has low self-esteem and has to fight to keep his head up and live. Understand here, Milo hates money.
Okay, back to having his own place, his roommate is… Branson. A friendship develops.

Here crosses the paths of the three of them. And oh my goodness that’s just a fraction of what this story is about.
You think the three flew lovely in each other’s arms, forget it, more the opposite, in each other’s hair!
But watch them when they let go!

I can go on and on about this story, I utterly adored it. It’s an amazing and wonderful story, with many deeply emotional moments, and all perfectly balanced!
Their lives are beautifully exposed and entwined in this narrative. These three glorious men have a story to tell.
It was so so good, the energy between the three of them, so powerful, passionate, and for us readers palpable. Their sexual encounters were impressive and all super intense and sensual. Dang!

Do you want to know something else beautiful about this story? That same beloved father from my first line…? plays a big role here, even where he’s not physically present, my heart cracked and cracked, and my eyes blurred and dripped. I understand why Branson is such a beautiful soul.
It was an outstanding beautiful story ALL the stars and more.
