Just when they are all going to finally find perfection together, Edlyn is called away, and now it is up to Vincent and Ivan to find out exactly what she is hiding from them and tell her that there is only one way that this is going to work. She is theirs, and it is damn time she knew it.

But will Edlyn’s secrets tear them apart before they even get started?

This is an interesting and fast-paced short story with plenty of plot and characterization. It’s told in the first person perspective, which I usually don’t mind, but this particular story jumps from Vincent’s head to Edlyn’s and I found this frequent shifting a little disorientating to read. I understand why the author did this – I have a strong feeling that setting the entire story from one character’s perspective wouldn’t have worked well as the threesome was complicated as it came together. But that said, the frequent jumping from Edlyn to Vincent’s perspectives told in the first person made the story as a whole feel disjointed to me – as if I was rushing back and forth between two people as they told one story and kept chopping and changing every few minutes. This didn’t feel like a normal, smooth and easy to follow story and while other readers might feel differently, for me, personally, it lessened my enjoyment.

All three main characters though were interesting, layered and I found myself quite easy attached to them. There were quite a few mysteries and questions surrounding Edlyn’s past and both Ivan and Vincent as characters which was explored along with some seriously smoking hot threesome sex. For such a short story there really did feel to me like a number of different layers and plotlines all converging together at the critical moment. I was pleased – though a little surprised, to be honest – that the ménage sex didn’t come until the second half of the book.

There is a lot of quite serious plot in the first half of the story. Being brutally honest, after the emotional highs and lows I experienced reading through Edlyn’s tragic secrets and the effort Ivan and Vincent go through to discover them, I wasn’t really feeling in the mood to read about sexy, adventurous threesome sex. There are quite a few delicate subjects raised – child kidnapping and child-abuse amongst other things – and so I don’t feel it’s a stretch to imagine other readers might need a quick breather between reading about the deeply emotional history Edlyn unveils and the smoking hot ménage sex that occurs shortly afterwards.

That said, the sex really is deliciously written. I personally needed to get up and have a break before reading it – I needed time to mentally assimilate and catch my breath from the deeply charged and emotional story Edlyn told. I wasn’t ready to switch over into some erotic reading immediately after that. But once I’d caught my breath and cleared my head I enjoyed the intensity and emotion between the three main characters.

With a serious and interesting plot and some smoking hot threesome scenes this is a well-rounded story with plenty of bite. Readers looking for a light or fluffy read won’t find that here – but readers willing to explore something a little harder and more intense might find themselves pleasantly surprised.
