Book Blurb

The path to love is never smooth and the lives of three men prove harder to balance than two.

Payne's traumatic past has always been a barrier in his relationship with his lover Braxton. However, when they meet Flame, a metal artist, they think they might have found a solution to their problems.

Flame doesn't know if he's ready to be part of a trio. Brax and Payne are madly in love and he would rather be alone than a third wheel. However, the two determined men have decided to make Flame a part of their family and the combined power of men in love can't be denied, even when death knocks at the door…

It takes a little compromise and a lot of love before three people can find a way to make a life together that meets all of their needs.

Book Review

Getting two men to work together well in a relationship can be a challenge. But trying it with three, in real life even more than in fiction, is almost impossible, it seems to me. Well, there is always great physical attraction, and, of course, the seemingly ever-popular one-night or temporary threesomes. But a true triad? One that lasts over years? Very, very rare and, what's more of a deterrent for many, very unlikely to end well.

Not so, however, in the case of the three men in this book. Payne and Brax have a loving relationship, and even if Payne's past keeps interfering in how far they can go with each other, their love is complete. It isn’t until they meet Flame, an artist, that they open up even more and get to know not just him but each other better, and from a different perspective than before. They are both attracted to Flame, and the quirky man makes them ask questions and see things they've never noticed before.

More than that, though, Flame faces a serious challenge himself, and that fact brings out the protector in Brax and makes Payne reconsider his priorities in life. I loved how they managed to approach a horrible situation with a lot of courage and willingness to learn and rethink their own relationship, priorities, and, ultimately, what they wanted out of life with each other.

This is not just a great love story, but also one about re-balancing your life and finding new support where you'd never have looked before. If you like stories about complicated relationships and men dealing with their pasts, if you enjoy reading about three men learning to redefine their priorities and their relationships, and if you're looking for a read that will most likely make you think about the way you live your life, then you will probably like this novella. I thought it was as hot as it was thought-provoking.
