review 1: Good, but I’m not crazy in love with itWarning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS. Rating: 7/10PROS: - Ian and Cassidy’s connection, the depth of which neither of them is fully aware, is depicted well: they anticipate each other’s needs, understand each other’s expressions, finish each other’s sentences, etc.- There’s some hot sex, two or three scenes in particular.- The feelings of jealousy that I feel must be inevitable in most threeway relationships are explored in a fair amount of detail. Those parts aren’t necessarily pleasant to read, but I admired Thompson’s willingness to look at the negative side to threesomes as well as the positive.CONS:- The way that Ian and Cassidy invite Kye into their lives so quickly weirded me out... more a little. Cassidy meets Kye in a bar and asks him to go home with her after maybe an hour: okay, I get that. That’s typical bar behavior for some people. But I raised my eyebrows when the next morning (after no sex, mind you, so the “we slept together so we’re connected” thing’s not there), she and Ian allow Kye access to all of their business records.- Kye’s wanderlust tendencies seem to go away or be quenched or whatever very quickly. I didn’t quite buy the speed with which he realizes he’s ready to settle down to hearth and home. In fact, I didn’t believe at the end that he was there to stay forever.- More flowery language in the sex scenes in this book than I remember encountering in the other Thompson novels I’ve read: “petals of her sex,” “sweet nectar,” “hooded pearl,” etc. Ich. I much prefer the simple names of body parts and such.Overall comments: This is a decent book; there’s a bit of angst thrown in, but nothing that lasts too long or is too painful, and the writing is solid. With others of Thompson’s books, though (Handyman and Switch, to be precise), I was left with a warm, delicious feeling after finishing them, and that’s just not present after reading this one.
review 2: This was an awesome read, filled with great scenes and wonderful connections between the three characters.The conflicts and resolutions were well thought and beautifully put together. Miss. Thompson's menage scenes were wonderfully steamy and very well put together, followed closely by very steamy m/f and m/m scenes sprinkled throughout the book!***Summary/tiny spoilerCassidy Luke and Ian Tanner, two hearts quickly connected by love, suddenly torn apart by Ian's fear of commitment as well as the continuous visions he has of a "more then friendship." relationship turning into the loveless relationship his parents shared.Enter Kye McClellan a warmhearted Scotsman with the soul of a gypsy. Kye brings out something fierce and passionate in Ian and Cassidy that makes them wonder if two hearts can beat just as intensely with the addition of another?The way Miss. Thompson brings these three souls together with warm dialogue, awesome imagery, and steamy love scenes, alone with a few heartbreaking moments constantly has you hoping for a happily ever after!I can't wait to own this book and add to my rapidly growing m/m/f reads shelf!Claire Thompson is a truly gifted writer in regards to the m/m/f genre, I'm looking forward to reading more of her books in this genre as well as some of her m/m reads! less
