Review
This book was a bit of a stretch outside my normal genres of reading. While I’ve done books on sexual themes before, I always find it a bit difficult relating to characters going through things I’ve not experienced. That being said, I found myself liking these characters. Each of the three primary characters seemed to have traits that the others depended on. That hold true in almost any relationship. My wife and I bring different strengths to our relationship, and Florian, Jordan, and Vince did the same to theirs. While I’ve never been involved in a polyamorous relationship, I can kind of understand it, and support it.
Due to the sexuality, this book may not appeal to all readers. It involves multiple pairings of sexuality from m/m, to m/f and m/f/m. But for some of the more open minded readers, I think you may find yourself enjoying the story. In the end it’s a love story about 3 people, all broken, and all needing something in each other to repair the cracks in themselves.
I’d rate it for adults due to the content. But I think it has its appeal to the modern reader and think you’d find it enjoyable. Be sure and check it out, and drop back by to let us know what you thought.
