Love, Unconditional
Dear Author,
I’m a true romantic. There is only one person out there for me and I’ve found him.
When he and I make love, that is special. Like nothing else I have experienced. But having sex with others can be fun, too. Whether someone watches us make love, adding a third to make things more interesting, playing around with friends or having a solo adventure and telling the other about it.
It’s a fun game. Attraction, seduction, pleasure.
We just love having fun, trying out things and are very open about sex. It does not in any way make our love less real or solid. We belong together. ONLY the two of us. That doesn’t mean there will always just be two people in our bed. We are equal partners in this relationship, we love and respect each other. Our life may not be what society has in mind for us, but we are happy this way.
Photo Description:
Two men, sitting sideways in a bathtub. One has his arm over the other and they look extremely happy to be with one another.
This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's "Love is an Open Road" event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story.

April 22, 2016I'm the author. I truly enjoyed writing these characters. I hope to do their full in the not too distant future!

Not for me. This is too much.

I finally finished the book after taking a break in the middle. The characters had a lot of sex, but I didn't perceive any growth. Not to my taste.

This one was almost a rare DNF for me. But, I continued reading because I always felt that the story had potential. For me, it just wasn't as good as I had hoped. I admit menage stories aren't my favorite in the M/M genre, but I do read them occasionally. I really wanted to like this one. But, one of the MC's, while granted much younger than the other MC, acted like such a childish brat(he was almost 30 years old at that point of the story) by leaving his partner of two years after their admitted FIRST big fight. Not only did he run out, he went back to his own place and No way. Nope. Awful thing to do while your partner is sitting home ALONE, calling and texting and worrying an losing his mind because you walked out on him. I was just done and over it at that point. I didn't even want them to get back together let alone have a HEA.
I gave this book 2 stars instead of just 1 because of the potential and the author's writing flowed well and was easy to read.

The prompt intrigued me on several levels - age gap 25/50, one of the MC's is a computer geek, the other a porn star (who uses his real name?). I don't like open relationships, too much like agreed cheating, but was curious to see how this worked with a porn star. Unfortunately, it didn't really go into much of any of the prompts in great detail. There is no emotional development, you don't get to understand or experience anything of depth. It was wordy and some of the dialogue was awkward to read. There could have been a nice touch to the story with Doc's introduction and the possibility of a menage relationship, a commitment with the issues surrounding that. Sadly, there was not enough for me to invest in the characters (apart from Doc, I really wanted him to be happy!!) I struggled to be convinced that this was an intense love of all time relationship between Parker and Hudson.

This is a short free story based on a prompt. I enjoyed the book, but for me it could have been improved in several areas.
I would have liked the 25/50 age gap explored, before we rushed more than a year from the first meeting and although other "open partners" were mentioned only one, Derek, appeared in the story.
Although I liked the main characters, I couldn't really feel an emotional connection with them, unless Parker was really angry with Hudson, which he justifiably does become on a couple of occasions. Maybe the prompt didn't quite work, or maybe the word limit was too short, but something just didn't click for me.
Having said all that, the author obviously put time and effort in creating the story and that is always to be appreciated.

It was a good representation of an open relationship. Hudson is a big-name gay porn star and Parker is his computer geek boyfriend. The story follows a few of their ups and downs with each other and their main secondary partner Doc. I really wanted this to end with the three of them in a triad, but it didn't happen. Still, the ending was happy and romantic. It was really good.

This wasn't what I expected it to be. There was not enough emotional connection for me to truly get into the story.
There is a nice age gap between 25 and in the 50s but it isn't explored at all. *sigh*
Over all it didn't live up to the prompt. At least not for me.

I didn't particularly like either of the main characters, I didn't get any "feels" from their relationship, some of the sentence structure and grammar made me cringe and the author gave herself 5 stars. All reasons for me not to like this story.

Hmmm. Probably would have been better had the dialogue actually sounded realistic. Also would have liked to see the age gap come more into play, hell Hudson is over 50 and Parker is 25.

It started out as a sweet story, but I thought it was too long, boring, and repetitive. I skimmed the last half just to get to the end.

Porn-star and a computer geek. Need I say more to entice you to read this story?
