Can a workaholic fashion designer with something to prove, a sweet, brokenhearted gardener, and an outrageously sassy archeologist form a throuple without anyone getting hurt?

Ryan Hawthorne is back at Hawthorne House after coming so close to his fashion design dreams he could taste them, but having the whole thing taken away from him. He’s determined to work his way back into the spotlight, but he’s out of ideas and lacking inspiration.

Until sweet, shy gardener Graeme Dallen blossoms into his life.

Graeme is just recovering both from the divorce that turned his life upside down and from being dumped by the man who made him realize he was gay. Redesigning the gardens of Hawthorne House is the boost he needs, both for his business and his personal recovery and sense of self. He is instantly drawn to Ryan, but when his work uncovers ruins on the property of Hawthorne House and an archeologist is called in to investigate, it feels like Graeme’s life will be turned upside down again.

Neither Ryan nor Graeme expected to find themselves in a triangle.

Arthur Johnson is a modern-day rake with a mischievous sense of fun. He has no problem at all flirting with two men at once and encourages them both to explore and experiment. But when both Ryan and Graeme stumble into impossible opportunities that could change all three of their lives, Art will do anything he can to help his men succeed, even if it puts his career in jeopardy.

Designed is a fun and steamy throuple romance with two men who need to jump on the Why Choose bandwagon and one who is already there. Friends and enemies abound, and there’s a race against time to fulfill everyone’s dreams at the last second!

I loved this book! Once again Merry Farmer blows it out of the park with this installment in the Art of Love series. I love how the men help each other and the immediate friendship that grows between them. I love how they build each other up and help heal the past hurts. One click this entire series if you haven't yet. You won't be disappointed!
I received an advanced copy from the author for my honest opinion.
