MMF menage story with 3 likeable MCs:
-Noelle was a class act; she loved her husband Scott, but when he comes out to her as mostly gay and submissive, she tried her best to domme him ( even though submissive herself) and eventually gives him the okay to find manlove. She isn't self-centred/judgemental and is accepting, acting from a place of love. She also acts human and is hurting and isn't all martyr-like!
- Scott was a man who faced tough truths about himself and was open and honest even when it wasn't easy. He was really a man of integrity searching for something to complete him.
- Keith was a Dom with sadistic tendencies who was looking for a serious relationship with a gay subbie. He was a straightshooter, took care of his submissive/s
Scott is lucky enough to find Keith and they click and with Noelle's blessing Keith moves in. Scott gets his HEA, I was fine till this part - plus all the MM sex was hot!
But after this Scott suddenly becomes a non-character, even when Noelle loses her job bcos he was indiscreet on social media he doesn't react - it was like the author decided he didn't need pagetime anymore!
Now Noelle has no job, no hubby and no family - I could sympathize with how she brooded and was generally angry. But for her to get with(the almost fully gay) Keith??? - apart from thinking he was hot, I didn't see the connection Noelle had with Keith. Maybe it was more a case of Keith feeling sorry for Noelle? Anyway that part never felt right. It would have been more authentic for Noelle to move on and find her own Dom.
Also when Keith let the piercing guy see a nude and blindfolded Noelle on day 1 of their being together, I felt it was a bit too much/too early - whether it was her agreeing to the piercing , or that he did that without even asking her.
This is a book which would have honestly worked better with an MM HEA. However the sex scenes were scorching hot and all the MCs were very likeable and even admirable so rating it 4.25 stars!
