Two men with a rocky history, and
one with an all-consuming love for both of them.
Sometimes I’m so lonely I swear I
can’t breathe. I bring men and women into my bed to chase away the ache, but it
never seems to help. I want something real, something lasting, but I’ve never
been more afraid of anything in my life. If I have nothing else in my life I
can count on, at least I have my best friend, Cas. If I have nothing else in my
life that feels solid, at least I have Cas.
Until one sad smile from a
beautiful man tilts my world on its axis.
But Finn is Cas’ ex, and that
means he’s off limits, right? What if I could have something permanent, if I’m
willing to put my heart on the line? Finn and Cas may have a history, but
something tells me the three of us could have a future, if we’re willing to let
things get a little complicated.
Review
I absolutely love a good story line where
three main characters are trying to conform into
a healthy and loving relationship. At first, I
was a little conflicted on how this particular trio would be able to work out.
The first two
have a sort of friends with benefits set
up going on that neither seem to really want to cross the line into a closed
relationship. Intimacy and a fear of being left is a hard concept for one of
the partners. Although, the other agrees
to this compromise he continues to hold back his true feelings, afraid that they
will scare his friend and he will lose him. So when an ex boyfriend comes into
the picture that, I honestly did have mixed feelings about.
I was completely shocked
to realize that he was indeed that person that they needed to make them all
complete. The love, honesty, and understanding of each other's past and
acceptance as well as forgiveness made their bond that much more stronger.
As with a lot of story lines that
focus on multiple partners, there were issues with each man about where exactly
they fit and what role they played. The author did an excellent job at never leaving
the reader feeling as if one needed more affection all the time over the other
two. All three men were equally loved, cherished and protected in the areas
that they each needed to be.
Excerpt
I swear I could nearly cry as we slip under the covers, and he plasters himself against me without waiting for approval. And then he presses his nose against my throat and drapes a leg over mine, and tears do start to prickle at my eyes. You can’t cry over a little bit of post-sex cuddling, you can’t, I chant in my mind even as I feel one escape and roll down my cheek.
My sniffle alerts Beau to my emotional state, tilting his head back to stare at me with concern.
“Finn?”
“Sorry. God, I’m pathetic,” I apologize with a watery laugh, using the arm that isn’t trapped beneath Beau to wipe my cheeks. “It’s been so long; I didn’t realize how much I missed just touching.”
Understanding flashes through his eyes, and he leans forward to kiss away the remaining stray tears, the tenderness of the gesture causing even more to fall. Fuck, this is embarrassing.
“It’s okay,” Beau whispers. “It’s okay. I’m lonely too, but tonight we don’t have to feel so alone.”
Author
K.M.Neuhold is a complete romance junkie, a total sap in every way. She started
her journey as an author in new adult, MF romance, but after a chance reading
of an MM book she was completely hooked on everything about lovely- and
sometimes damaged- men finding their Happily Ever After together. She has a
strong passion for writing characters with a lot of heart and soul, and a bit
of humor as well. And she fully admits that her OCD tendencies of making sure
every side character has a full backstory will likely always lead to every book
having a spin-off or series. When she's not writing she's a lion tamer, an
astronaut, and a superhero...just kidding, she's likely watching Netflix and
snuggling with her husky while her amazing husband brings her coffee.
