Damn this was hot. I usually read a blurb or know what the book generally is before I read, but this time I just started it. I admit that I was not expecting it to be a polyamorous relationship, but it was beautifully developed (if not a bit too short!).

David is redefining himself after an abusive relationship. While out and about, he gets confronted by an alpha homophobic hothead volleyball player (Goliath aka Edge). Goliath's friend (Gareth) pulls him away, but Gareth is intrigued, especially since he has been in the closet for his whole life and pretty much in love with Edge. Eventually, Gareth and David get together, Gareth comes out of the closet, and his friendship with Edge is damaged. Then we start to see the reality of Edge. He has apparently been in the closet and in love with Gareth. Uh oh. Opens things up for an interesting triangle! David doesn't want to get in the way of Gareth and Edge, but their dynamics and relationship is stronger together instead of apart. They were hot together, and the story was great. I liked watching David and Gareth get together, and then watch the three of them meld together. As I mentioned, I wish it were a bit longer; I'd love a real look into how the three of them made it work.

I do have to admit that I liked the older cover better, just because it would have been obvious up front about there being 3 MC's, but the new cover is very attractive. ( )

Cute short story with some funny dialogue. I was a little disappointed with the ending. It all happened so fast, and I don't really believe Edge would have come around that quickly. Also, I don't understand why if Gareth had loved Edge since he was a kid and found out Edge felt the same, why would they need David?! I guess this menage thing is something I will never understand.

Short and a bit uncomfortable with one of the threesome peeking in windows watching the other two (before the relationship started) but it was still fun and worth a read. Recommended. ( )

3 stars. Good, but way too short for me! I would of liked to read more about the three of them together instead of just the short scenes near the end. ( )
