Blurb: In high school, Alex, Matt, and Gavin had been an inseparable trio, but all that changed when Matt and Alex started dating, and Gavin turned his back on both of them. Now in their late twenties, Alex and Matt are still together, but years of routine have worn their relationship into a rut.

 

When Alex unexpectedly runs into Gavin during a boys-night-out for the first time since high school, he’s shocked to realize just how hot the other man has become. Alex loves Matt, but he can’t deny his attraction to Gavin. And the more the three friends reconnect, the more Alex starts to suspect that the unrequited crush that drove Gavin away isn’t quite a thing of the past that they thought it was.

 

And that crush might not have been as unrequited as it originally seemed, either. In fact, Gavin might be just the breath of fresh air that Alex and Matt need to breathe new life into their struggling relationship…if their hearts can survive it…

Review: Alex is dragged out for a night on a town by his friend Liam who says he has become a homebody to keep his partner Matt company, after a little bit too much to drink he gets an unexpected surprise in the shape of an old school friend Gavin. Matt is surprised when Alex tells him he bumped into Gavin at the club, and the truth comes out when Alex admits how hot Gavin is now and both Alex and Matt wanting to rekindle their friendship with Gavin. Gavin, Matt, and Alex used to be friends but Gavin drifted away suddenly, now years later Gavin has a chance to reconnect but the crush he had on Matt never went away and Gavin jumps at what Alex and Matt offer him.

 

This story started out great, with some great descriptions. A great basis for a friend to lovers ménage romance. The characters seemed great. With Alex and Matt in a happy long-term relationship, and with Gavin being an old friend of theirs. The circumstances with how they all meet up again are good and how they reconnected was interesting. Especially when you take into account lingering feelings. Alex is being one very understanding boyfriend, wanting what his boyfriend wanted and not only because he wanted it himself, but also I felt like he should have had at least a little pinch of worry at one stage.

 

I was disappointed that it was all from Alex’s POV because I would have really like to know what both Matt and Gavin thought of everything that was happening and what they were feeling, after all it was a big step for them to take. I was happy to get some background on their previous friendships but it would have been better with a bit more filling out. The sex is really hot and was balanced out nicely between the three and showed the level of emotion between them. but, I was expecting a little more disquiet between them before and at one point during, I was expecting at least some hurt feelings.

 

Over all, this is quite a good story that leaves you feeling like it accomplished what it set out to do, giving us a ménage romance. So if you love hot sex, and a happy ending then this give book a shot.
