Rylee Stafford, 28, can’t decide between her new love interest Pete Rafferty and her longtime on-again/off-again love Nick Morris. Rylee feels the pressure to choose while struggling with her ultimate fantasy.
I think I picked this up as a freebie at some point. It’s been sitting on my kindle for a while, and I just now gave it a try. It drew me in and it was pretty hot….Okay really hot, especially Nick who was also sweet. I should point out that while I generally don’t have a problem reading ménages provided they have a group HEA, I don’t do love triangles. Initially it seems like Ryle and Nick and Pete’s love story is a triangle, but it’s really a ménage romance or more accurately a triad relationship.
On one hand, this story offers the feel-good perfect coupling signature of many romantic reads. In fact, Rylee frustrated me in the beginning because her perfect happily-ever-after is literally right in front of her, and yet she didn’t communicate very well with either of the men in her life. On the other hand, the story maintains a realistic approach to the topic. The three character’s struggles with their sexuality are detailed, Rylee’s therapy sessions are depicted, and stress and anxiety over family reactions is portrayed. There’s no insta-love or insta lust driving this plot. Rylee, Nick, and Pete’s desire for an alternative relationship as well as their love for each other is aptly developed.
“‘…you don’t get to be ashamed of who you are. Of what God made you. Made us. People may not understand it, but that’s their burden to bear, not ours.’”
I also give major points for the positive discussions of sexuality and acceptance of non-traditional pairings.
“‘…just because your sexuality isn’t the norm, doesn’t mean you’re not normal.’”
The glaring flaw in this otherwise engaging erotic romance was the abrupt shift from first to third person for part two. Until this almost half way point, the story is narrated by Rylee, Nick, and Pete, allowing the reader to hear all three perspectives and become invested in their individual as well as shared struggles. But once the third person narrator, a detached observer, kicks in, I was pulled out of the story and struggled in what were otherwise anticipated and critical scenes. The POV change was not just abrupt and annoying, but made me feel cheated of the character’s inner thoughts and reactions for the rest of the tale. This narration switch appears to be a poor editorial decision.
Sharing Rylee is the second book in a series, the previous title depicting Rylee’s twin brother and his girlfriend’s romance. I have not read Chasing Cassidy so that may be why there were places where it seemed like backstory was referenced. I was still able to easily follow this one though.

Rylee isn’t looking for a traditional life and she’s still trying to figure herself out. She struggles because she wants to have a different kind of love affair, but her family would never approve. She’s dating a man name Nick, but while dating him she meets a man named Pete and he sets her heart on fire.

Do happily ever after’s always have to be so traditional?
Rylee Stafford has asked herself this question since she was eighteen years old. Now, at twenty-eight she still doesn’t have an answer. One thing she knows for sure is even if she can have the unconventional relationship she’s always dreamed of, it would never fly with her family. Her sexual proclivities would never be accepted by them or their social circle.
The truth is Rylee is tired of hiding her feelings. Tired of wanting what she can’t have and so tired of feeling abnormal because she wants a different kind of love.
She’s kept her secret well hidden, especially from Nick, her on again off again love affair. Her secret isn’t their only stumbling block, though—Rylee’s also met someone new. His name is Pete and he sets her heart and soul on fire; he’s sexy, smart, possessive, and he wants her. No matter how much she cares for them she can’t bring herself to tell them the truth. The only way to Rylee’s heart is to have a relationship with both men.
It’s only when Rylee takes her annual vacation does she finally realize her happiness is worth more than what anyone thinks of her. Now the only question is: will Rylee’s alternate lifestyle alienate everyone she loves? Or will she be accepted for the person she’s always been deep down inside?

Received for an honest review.
I wanted to love this book. I started off loving it. I made it through the painful wait for Rylee to share her secret with Nick and Pete and then part one finished.
Oh great, I thought, the good stuff is going to start to happen but starting part two, with a change in voice from first to third person was incredibly jarring. I absolutely hated the use of it here. It makes describing action so difficult and leads to an increased use of names so every second word is a character's name. It became repetitive.
I also thought there were too many coincidences. It would've been much better if Nick and Pete were already in a relationship before Rylee, it just played out a little too nicely.
I also felt like the book started in the middle. I know it's the second book in a series but I felt, for those who haven't read book one like myself, if we went back to when Rylee first met Pete it would give a more complete story.
I thought Sharing Rylee was going to be a beautiful story of acceptance and discovery, it was nowhere near that which is a shame, it could've been so much more than just another book, sorry!

I absolutely loved this companion novel to Chasing Cassidy. I haven't read Chasing Cassidy and you don't need to as Sharing Rylee can be read as a standalone. I will say that I wish I did read it. A few situations would make more sense. That said, I was hooked and couldn't put it down. I was a bit worried about how graphic the sex scenes would be. All sex scenes were filled with steamy love.
I want to say Bravo to D. Kelly for writing about insecurities with outing ones own sexuality. As a reader, I felt all the emotions and found myself needing kleenex a few times.
The characters were strong and very likeable. The writing was fantastic and it flowed seamlessly. It's told in multiple POVs.

Oh my gosh, I had to devour this book in one day! I absolutely loved it! I screamed at them while reading, but it is so worth it! We catch up with Rylee, Nick, and Pete who were in a previous book Chasing Cassidy. We get to learn so much more about them and it is so easy to root and fall for them all! I love D's writing, you become a part of the story. This is an absolute must read!

Sharing Rylee was a completely different type of love story than Chasing Cassidy, but both books share the theme of a life altering, all-encompassing kind of love. I loved reading about Rylee's relationship with Nick as well as Pete from the small snippets we were given in Chasing Cassidy when she was trying to figure out who she wanted to be with, and I was seriously dying to know how the complex relationships were going to unfold.
I feel like the first part of the story where it discussed Rylee and her on-going therapy for her sexual preferences and her shame for those preferences could have maybe been a little shorter, mostly because it was very well explained by the author early on. I thought this book had some seriously steamy scenes that were HOT, HOT, HOT and I enjoyed reading about the polyamorous relationship between Nick, Pete and Rylee as I have not ready many books like this.
I had a little bit of a hard time with the change part way through the book to third person, and found it a little harder to follow than the first half of the book, but the writing was still done well, and it was still a very enjoyable book with some seriously awesome characters. I'm kind of a little jealous of Rylee having two hot amazing men doting after her!!!

Sharing Rylee

Read between October 24 - November 18, 2020
“This isn’t a bad thing. Stop thinking of it that way and stigmatizing yourself. This is only an extension of who you are. Of
what makes you, you. Some people might be judgmental, but do you spend your nights thinking about what other people are doing in their bedrooms? I know I don’t.”
“but the point is we don’t spend our spare time thinking about what goes on in our friends’, families’, or colleagues’ bedrooms. We all have our own shit to worry about. The initial shock will wear off. Your friends will still be your friends. You may lose a few, it’s bound to happen, but you’ll gain so much more. The
ones you do lose were never truly your friends in the first place, anyway.”
People will know and maybe some will distance themselves, or raise an eyebrow when you’re around, but you’ll learn whom you want in your life from those experiences. And in turn, you’ll surround yourself with happiness and freedom like you’ve never known.”

First, this book is usually a type of book that I stay away from. Quite honestly M/M usually turns me away. This book is a tad bit different. It is a M/M and M/F/M. This book is not for everyone. I just erased my mind from my views and just read the book. Can I just say, that this is on of the hottest, sexiest, books that I have ever read? I found myself needing a fan. The storyline was interesting. Again, not my cup of tea in life, but I found myself rooting for Rylee, Pete, and Nick. We met all three characters in "Chasing Cassidy". I would suggest that you read that book first, but if you don't it's ok too. Once I let myself just enjoy the story and know that there are many people who live their lives this way, I found myself thinking, "Wow, what a book!" We get three points of view. No cliffhanger. Sometimes in life, we need to branch out of our comfort zone. This is what I did while reading this book, and I found myself really enjoying something I never thought I would.

I’m so glad I finally got around to reading this one as I knew Rylee’s story going to be in an interesting read in more way that one and it was. Before I started I was #TeamPete however by the end I was #TeamPete&Nick.
I have to say some of those M/M and M/F/M sex scenes were hot!
An enjoyable read, about not being afraid to be who you are, understating, family, friendship, second chances and following your heart. I loved the way it ended which was perfect for Rylee.

Sharing Rylee is after Chasing Cassidy the second book in the series, but can easily be read as a stand-alone.
I can´t say how much I love this book, the characters and the words.
D. Kelly´s Just an Illusion Series is my favorite read by her, with Sharing Rylee a close second.
I recommend this book and give 5 stars.

Review by Jen Skewes
I could not wait for this book. When I first met Rylee in Chasing Cassidy I was so intrigued by her character. I wanted to know so much more about this woman. But I also couldn’t wait to find out if she would not only get her happily ever after but would it be with Nick or Pete. Now when I read the blurb and even the title of the book I must say that it did not hit me at all that this book would go in a direction that was not what I had expected. But after reading the beginning and seeing where this story would go I couldn’t have been happier. I LOVED this book. I loved everything about it, from the two very hot and sexy men, to a heroine who I loved and admired but at the same time felt so bad for. I could not get enough of these characters. Once I started I could not put this book down.
Rylee has always had a love for Nick, her brother’s best friend. They grew up together and while they started out as friends her love for him turned into so much more. They have been on again/off again for quite some time. He has always been there for her, always being her friend before or in addition to her lover. He is sweet and caring and loves Rylee. But then she meets Pete and he is different than Nick. He makes her heart race and sparks something inside of her. She has fallen in love with both men. She wants to find her happily ever after like her brother and her best friend have found. But for Rylee things aren't that simple. For the past 10 years she has struggled with who she really is. Her idea of happiness and love is an unconventional one. For Rylee to truly be happy that would mean having both Nick and Pete in her life, together as her lovers. She feels comfort with both men and being with the both of them is what truly makes her happy. This is who Rylee is, this is her nature and what she has always wanted but has also struggled with. She is afraid that if she tells them her secret she will lose the both of them. And if by chance they do accept her for who she is and what she wants, what will her family think of her relationship with both men?
I loved so much about this book but let’s start with the two very sexy men that have completely captured Rylee’s heart. These men both brought something different to their relationship with Rylee. They both loved her and wanted to make her happy. They were sweet, loving, caring and very very sexy. They too have their own past and secrets as well and when I found out exactly what it was it made me just love them even more. And when these two men loved they loved with their whole heart.
Rylee is an amazing heroine. I really felt bad for her. For ten years she has had to hide who she was for fear of rejection not only from the man that she loves but from her parents. I cannot imagine having to hide yourself, your wants and needs because of fear and in return not being able to find the happiness that you deserve.
Sharing Rylee is a m/f/m and m/m/f romance which I am a big fan of. But for me personally it has to be done right. It has o have the emotion n love between the chapters. For me it can't be all sex and lust. Ms. Kelly completely nailed this one. What I loved the most was how deeply these characters loved each other. There was never any jealousy between them or the feeling of being neglected by the other. They truly loved each other and wanted everyone to be happy. They all worked so good together. The fit together like 3 perfect pieces to a puzzle. They completed each other with each of them bringing something different to the relationship. Their love was so beautiful to watch because that is what is was about. Yes the sex was hot and steamy but that is not what it was all bout. This story is about three people who love each other so deeply, about three people who need each other to feel whole. D. Kelly really blew me away with this story. It was sweet, sexy and just beautiful. I loved seeing so much of Zack and Cassidy and loved the addition of Richard who has been Rylee’s therapist for the past 10 years. I loved their friendship and he was an fantastic addition to this cast. Wonderful job by D. Kelly.

Reviewing on behalf of Relentless Book Chics Ramblings and Reviews
I’ve been looking forward to finding out more about Rylee since I first met her character in Chasing Cassidy so I’m so happy that this book was written.
Rylee has always wondered if she’d ever find happiness as the idea of the traditional happily ever after has never appealed to her. She’s spent the last 10 years thinking about it and still doesn’t have a clear answer to all the questions she asks herself.
Rylee knows what she wants but doesn’t know if she’ll ever get it as her idea of happiness is completely different to what is considered normal and wouldn’t be accepted by the members of her influential family and the majority of her friends but she feels miserable and wants to do something about it.
Nick is her brother’s best friend and has always been a part of her life but the on/off relationship they have isn’t enough to satisfy her which is why her life gets further complicated when she meets Pete who is also friends with her brother.
Rylee has strong feelings for Nick and Pete but can’t picture her life with only one of them in it, what she really wants, in a perfect world is both of them but doesn’t think that would ever happen.
When Rylee takes her annual vacation she discovers things about herself and her friends that she didn’t expect to and she risks her happiness and breaking not just her own heart by revealing her true nature to those closest to her.
I don’t want to say too much about the story as there’s a major spoiler in nearly every chapter but I will say that it was great to delve into the history of why Nick and Pete stopped being friends and why there is so much hostility towards each other.
I did feel sorry for Rylee in parts and she was caught in the middle and didn’t know what to do for the best to please everyone but she chose to do what was best for her which took so much courage.
The sex in this book was so hot and there are M/M and M/F/M scenes so if that’s not your thing, this isn’t the book for you.
Personally I loved it as Dee always knows how to convey such complex emotions through her writing and makes you feel exactly what the characters are feeling.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes a sweet romance with a spicy twist but to truly understand the characters, Chasing Cassidy should be read first.

✯✯5 Explosive Stars!!!✯✯
OMG!! Was this not hot or what. D.Kelly was nervous for nothing. I absolutely loved this book. Since reading Chasing Cassidy I knew Rylee's story was going to just be wow and I was so right. It was so worth the wait.
Since her teenage years Rylee has felt a part of her missing. She's not whole. Rylee has great parents and an amazing twin brother. She's had a secret part to her life now for awhile. Rylee has dated but never been in love.
Her and her brother have a best friend, Nick. For years they have been hooking up. At her brothers wedding he gave Nick his blessing to date Rylee. There was only one problem. The problem goes by the name of Pete. Rylee started spending her time with him at the wedding. He's another one of her brothers good friends.
Nick and Pete have a past. They were very close until a stupid misunderstanding a few years ago and they haven't spoken since. But, now they find themselves right back at square one.
Rylee has fallen in love with both Pete and Nick.She has to choose between the two of them. If only she didn't have too. But, even if that was possible what would her family say. This is what Rylee has always wanted. It's in the palm of her hand for the first time.
Once I picked this up I couldn't put it down. Rylee is such a strong person. But, at the same time she doubted herself. She wanted to be happy and loved more then anything. But, she put what other people thought first. She never mentioned it to anyone. Not even Cassidy her best friend. I felt so bad for her. With all those people around she was still lonely.
I was so glad she opened up to Nick and Pete. The two of them made her heart whole and then some. This book was so incredibly hot. For this to be D.Kelly's first time dipping into this m/m m/f/m love romance and she was nervous. If she ever reads my review and I hope she does. I'm here to tell her you were nervous for nothing. Because, OMG you nailed it!! I hope it's not her only book like it. I can not wait for her next book!

Sharing Rylee is a very interesting book that isn't about a traditional relationship between a man and a women. But more about a committed relationship between 3 people. If you have an open mind and want to found out more about these type of relationships; Dee Kelly does a great job of explaining this and so much more. After reading this book I understand this type of relationship. The characters are so interesting and I seriously feel for their fear of telling others about their relationship. I feel compassion for Pete, Rylee and Nick; I want them to figure this out and hope they get the acceptance they want from their friends and family. I can't imagine fearing that if you share your needs that people won't accept you or think you're a freak. It does contain M/M and M/F/M sex scenes.
Rylee Stafford knows that just one man isn't enough for her and see has dreams of an unconventional relationship between two men who also love each other. She is tired of being afraid for what she desires and dreams about because its unconventional.
No one knows her secret desire, she’s kept it hidden, especially from Nick, her on again off again love affair. She met a new guy Pete who sets her heart and soul on fire. She is afraid to tell them the truth, she wants them both. Can she find what she wants with these two men? Could they be with another man and love him too? How will her friends and family react?
This is a great book and I love how well it was written that we can learn about this alternative relationship but we understand the feelings of everyone involved in this triad. It might not be the type of relationship for me but I can't fault anyone else who wants and has a committed relationship a triad. I feel for Rylee and her fears and how she is tired for being unhappy and wants her dream. I want her to have her own HEA and feel happily and love that she desires. I love these characters and understand their love for each other. Great different read! Dee Kelly, I love this one!

This book starts off with Rylee going to a therapist, more specifically...a sex therapist. She's so nervous that when she's introduced to Dr. Shaw she just blurts out that she's a sex addict. She tells him about herself and he fails to see where she's a sex addict. She explains to him ever since she started dating she knew she was different because she never fell in love with any of the guys she dated when they would profess their love to her. Dr. Shaw still isn't seeing why she thinks she's an addict. Then she explains that her and her boyfriend had a threesome with another female and it was just okay... but, then she had a threesome with 2 guys and there's her problem (she believes). It was amazing and she feels like a freak because it isn't the "norm" for relationships to be like this (to the rest of the world, anyway). He gives her a business card for a place called Pepperhill Lodge and suggest she go there.
She takes a vacation every year to Pepperhill Lodge to satisfy her uncertainty in her life and herself. Where she pretends to be married to two men and live in blissful happiness the whole time she's there, forgetting that she can't have this in the "real world".
She's been friends w/benefits with Nick for a while and she's also been seeing Pete. Her problem is she's falling for both of them and that can't happen. She believes she must choose between the two. Does she need to? Can she have her dream relationship with both men?
3.5 stars for me on this one. The sex scenes were off the chart, but the story, for me wasn't that exciting. Sure, it's nice when people find love and themselves, but if it wasn't for the sex scenes I would have been bored with it (sorry). It was a good book, emotional and sweet.

Rating: 4 out of 5
Recommend: yes. But only if you're okay with mm mfm situations. Like seriously, if you're not into reading this type of stuff...not even a little bit, put it down. This is also a stand alone book, but it is connected to Chasing Cassidy which was written first, so if you have plans to read that, don't read this first due to spoilers.
Took me about a day and a half to read this book. I honestly don't even know how to review this book. It's romantic and heartfelt and sad. It is also hot and steamy and sexy.
Rylee is young and lost. I mean, what woman in her 20s actually knows herself? She is confused by her sexuality and seeks out therapy. Her sex therapist does nothing but encourage her to be who she is. And what is that? In love with two men. But there is a little more to that. She is in love with two men, but wishes they love each other. Crazy, right? Don't judge her.
Nick and Rylee have known one another since they were kids and have been having a secret relationship since they were old enough to do so. Nick is a lawyer. Professional and in love with Rylee. But Rylee is closed off because she thinks he would never accept her for who she is.
Pete is Rylee's twin brother's friend (nick is also her brother's bestie and enemy to Pete...but for reasons you wouldn't believe). And the two are falling head over heals for one another.
There's so much history between the trio and so many secrets that I do not want to give one bit away. It was difficult to read some of the sex scenes at first, but I'm open-minded and non-judgmental, so I went with it. And I really loved this love story. Yes. Yes, I did.

ARC received for an honest review for CJ’s Book Corner
This latest book from D. Kelly is an absolute must read. The story is about an unconventional love between Rylee, Pete, and Nick. The characters are from Chasing Cassidy and reading it will help with the following of the story.
Rylee Stafford has always known she wanted a happily ever after, but not in the traditional way. Eight years of therapy have helped Rylee to understand what she wants and that it is all okay. The hard part for her is to see if others will understand her way.
Enter Nick and Pete. Nick has been in love with Rylee for as long as he can remember. Best friends with her brother Zack, he is willing to wait for Rylee to decide if he is what she wants. Pete is another friend that Rylee hooked up with at Zack and Cassidy’s wedding. He also is in love with Rylee and wants to continue their relationship. Rylee is in love with both men and wants them both. But Nick and Pete have a plan also.
This is an amazing story of the power of love. When you love as deeply as D. Kelly has written in Sharing Rylee, there are no obstacles in your way. This book is so well written that the complicated love story between these three seems normal. I cheered for Rylee in her coming to the realization she no longer has to hide. She could face her fears and get through this as a stronger person.
Well done D. Kelly!! I am in love with this story and everything about it. One of the best books I have read this year. Thanks for the chance to read it early.

Where to begin? Ok, so Sharing Rylee is the companions novel to Chasing Cassidy. It's is not required reading before Sharing but , I said but, I recommend it. You get a feel for the characters from an outside point of view. Plus Sharing has some major spoilers for Chasing. FYI
Now on to the good stuff:
Sharing Rylee is unbelievably hot. I mean smoking a pack of cigarettes required and I am a non-smoker who gets migraines from smoke...Not clear enough...
The sexual tension, chemistry, and scenes are hot enough to need some battery power...Still not clear, really?!?
Hot.
But don't for one second think it's gratuitous sex, no it's punctuation the story. Often stories jump pump up the sex and hope it carries the story- NOT in this case.
Sharing Rylee is about a woman learning to live with her needs, her desires, and LIVE her life. It also happens to feature two amazing and gorgeous guys vying for her.
History, abandonment, and high emotions make this situation far more volatile. But when everything comes out in the open, what/who will be left when the dust settles?
A sexy story about characters I already love. It's nice to see Rylee coming into her own. Even better was learning her choice!
Not everyone can say they made that choice or have this kind of love!
P.S. On an entirely different note, it might be best to read starting at like 5 AM uninterrupted because I repeated knocked my head with my kindle and somewhere after 2:30 AM drifted to sleep. Be safe, watch your noses!

3-3.5 stars
This was my first read by D Kelly, so I have not read Cassidy's book but I didn't feel like I was missing out on too much so this is a standalone.
Rylee has been struggling with her sexuality for a long time. As the heiress to a very public fortune she hasn't ever felt like she could be herself except during her "vacations." When Rylee meets new guy Pete at her brother's wedding she realizes she definitely has feelings for him, but she also has feelings for long time friend (with benefits) Nick. Nick and Pete clash and there seems to be some long time conflict between the two that Rylee can't figure out. Forced to make a decision between the two men, what Rylee really wants is to have them both, fulfilling her needs. Can she?
This one deals with M/M and M/F/M relationships very well. While it's steamy it's also very cognizant of the love and trust involved in the relationships because that's what is underlying here for this couple(s.) This is the second book in a matter of weeks I have read that has dealt with polyamory so that must be a hot topic right now and it's very interesting. What I wish this book had more of was conflict. There was some conflict but it was all resolved so easily it hardly felt like conflict. Everything quickly was tied up with a nice bow and I wish we could have had either a bigger conflict or a longer conflict to give this story more meat (angst lover here.) Am interested to go back and read Cassidy's story!

This was my first D. Kelly book and will not be my last. It was soulful, sweet, and steamy.
"...but now I believe hands fit together like puzzle pieces. When you have the right mate, you have a perfect fit."
Rylee has known for a long time what it is she desires, but because of who she is she has long denied that she could ever have it. She has kept part of herself hidden from everyone close to her including her long-time on and off boyfriend Nick. She loves Nick, they loved each other as friends and now love each other as something more...BUT...in comes Pete. Pete sets her on fire unlike any other and she develops feelings for him as well. Now she must decide what to do.
Told from each POV, all of the characters hide something from the other. All have secrets and truths they need to confess to in order to move forward with their life. This book is more than just about coming to terms with an unconventional life, it's about the characters finding themselves and being happy in who they are. That's not to say that the journey isn't steamy because it is, in the best of ways. I found myself engrossed in this story; wanting to shake the truths out of the characters, wanting to give them a hug, and wanting to be a voyeur in the bedroom.

I liked this story a lot. It seemed as if the author knew exactly how and what someone in Rylee's situation would feel and do.
Rylee is conflicted about her sexuality. She's known from a young age that she needed something she wasn't going to get from a typical boy/girl or man/woman relationship. In her quest to figure out how to come to terms with this and also how to deal with telling the people she loves, she goes to therapy.
Nick has loved Rylee for years. They have been friends and a part of one another's lives since they were kids. They have also been lovers on and off over the years.
Paul recently started seeing Rylee, and in that time he has developed strong feelings for her also.
I liked this story, but I didn't like the secrets. I understood Rylee keeping hers until she felt strong enough to share, but I didn't like the way Nick and Paul kept theirs. Plus the dishonesty that went into them keeping it from her. This was especially a problem since she was honest with the both of them about being conflicted when she was being forced to choose.
I also didn't like the way the narrative went from first person in the first part and then third person in the second part. I saw what the author was trying to do, but it took something away from the story for me.
Still, the story is worth reading. Hence the 4 stars.

This is the first book by author D. Kelly I have read and her writing style was smooth, consistent and had enough details to keep my attention. I enjoyed reading this book and hope for more in this series.
Rylee is struggling with her self. She wants something so out of the norm she doesn't know how to deal with it and seeks help to ease her concerns. When her on again off again boyfriend Nick demands answers she shuts down and it causes problems. When she meets up with Pete and Nick finds out, things are brought from the past that needed to be dealt with. When Pete thinks he has figured out what Rylee is hiding, Nick and Pete demand Rylee to explain it to them causing more secrets to come forward and all of Rylee's dreams come to fruition. But what happens when the outside world finds out? Will her family support her? Rylee realizes whether or not she has the support of outsiders, she has what she wants and she will fight to keep it.
This was such a good story. It showed the struggles someone in a poly-amorous relationship struggles with and what today's society has deemed appropriate.
I received an arc for an honest opinion.
