review 1: This is the first in a series, and it definitely left me curious to read what comes next.The flow, pacing, and style of the story were all excellent. I didn't feel that the story got hung up at any point, and it held my interest throughout. The sex scenes were really sensual and steamy, but not overdone or exaggerated, and there was plenty in between to hold the story together.I loved that the author didn't shy away both from having bisexual men and from using the word rather than having them shrug it off as "undefinable." I also thought the way Royce and Shea worked through that was pretty realistic, and I'm glad they didn't just jump to conclusions about themselves.There were just a few things that made me hesitate, and they are the reason I couldn't give this a higher r... moreating. First, everything outside of Royce and Shea's relationship and the sex scenes felt more like the author telling us rather than showing us. For example, I would have liked to see more of Luna's past instead of it just being a bit of random dialog with her friend. There also wasn't enough evidence of Shea's Asperger's outside of mentioning it several times and one or two moments that might have indicated some signs.I didn't really feel captivated by the relationship Luna had with Shea and Royce. We were supposed to believe they were deeply in love, but again, that was the author telling us that. There was no real evidence. Their entire relationship that we saw "onscreen" was based on sex, and she felt to me like the disposable third wheel. Even Royce implies that when he says he and Shea are forever and it's fine if it doesn't work out with her--and this was after they were supposedly all in love. In fact, they had more chemistry with the first person they added as a third than with Luna. It came across more as a straight woman's fantasy about what it would be like to have sex with gay men than a genuine love trio.Despite that, I have hope for this series. I'm interested to see where things go, as it was left on quite a big cliffhanger. I'm looking forward to the next part of the series.I was given this in return for an honest review by Inked Rainbow Reads.4 starsAmy
review 2: 3.5 StarsA story of a threesome, two men who are in a relationship and have found the woman they want to be their third. Only problem is, she’s an employee of theirs. But it doesn’t take long for attractions to be made known, and for them to decide to cross over that line.Luna is kinky. All of her past boyfriends have basically run away from her kinkiness, and so she’s tried to be someone she isn’t–for the sake of people accepting her, even if it isn’t the real her. But then she meets Shea and Royce, and all of her fantasies come rushing back. We don’t find out a whole lot about Luna in this volume. I am looking forward to finding out some back story on her, and what makes her the way she is.Royce and Shea. The handsome twosome. We get to see a recap (a shortened version) of how they became to be. From best friends to lovers. From a man who thought he was straight, to him falling in love with his gay best friend. I could see Royce. I could feel his demanding power, his control, his possessiveness. He was very cut and dry. He knew what he wanted, who he loved, and damn everyone else for their thoughts or opinions. Shea, on the other hand, is more soft, more vulnerable. There wasn’t enough into his head, yet, but you get the perception that he’s very fragile, but yet tender.As with any serial, I felt like I wanted more. It was short and sweet (and by sweet, I don’t mean, “awe!” I mean, not long). We only got to see certain scenes from their past to get a feel for Royce and Shea, and just a few in the present. I know it’s leading up to something big, something that will change who they are as individuals and who they are as a couple (is there another word for threesome similar to couple?). I wanted more depth into their pasts and maybe a little bit more of the future. I hope we see more of that in the future installments, because this story has the chance to go far. And since this is a book about a lot of sex, I would warn anyone that it is very erotic. And that with any threesome, it has instances of M/M/M, M/M, and M/M/F, and M/F/M. Oh, and cliffhanger, obviously.**Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review** less
