The Guy They Need

Rate this book
Could there be room for one more in this Happily Ever After?

It's been two years since Grayson and his ex-girlfriend broke up. He's spent that time hiding in his apartment, and working up the courage to start dating men. Not that he expects to find his first boyfriend at a nightclub, anyway. He doesn't even know how to tell a prospective date that he is a transgender man, much less does he want to give his heart away to the first person he meets.

Or to the first people he meets, for that matter.

But flirty, femme Marco and his suave boyfriend Demir might be just what Grayson needs. The owners of the hottest nightclub in Philadelphia, they're living the high life, and charming every man in town. But could there really be room for Grayson, in the perfect life they share? Or does the hottest couple in Philadelphia needs Grayson just as much as he needs them?
An M/M/M romance with a guaranteed HEA for Demir, Marco, and Grayson. This standalone novel features lots of steam, erotic exploration, and three sweet men who face unexpected loss but find what they need in each other. Enjoy!

A great start to the book. A story of a an established couple meeting and bring in a third to their already busy life. The running of their club and renovations to begin some changes would be needed. The story tells of a trans experience going though life from different feelings of self discovery. Written in each POVs with first person. A great story even though I didn't connect to them.
Includes bad first dates, aghast, sexualities, family deaths and homophobia and more.

Grayson was a 27 transgender man who's first time being in The Forty-Eight Club.
Demir 34 and Marco are the owners and have been boyfriends awhile.
*I received an advanced readers copy and this is my honest review.

Tres muy diferentes tipos de hombres gays de los que no consigue que nos creamos la historia. Quizás es porque profundiza poco en cada uno como ser individual.

Okay story, but at some point it could barely hold my attention because it got a bit boring.

Grayson is a Transgender man. He leads a fulfilling life even if it is a bit lonely. On a night out he meets two amazing men who will change his life. Marco and Demir have been together for many years. They have a successful club that they love but it keeps them to busy. When they both decide Grayson would make a good third, their life got exponentially busier. To make the unusual relationship work they all need to make concessions. Sometimes easier said than done.

I liked Marco and Demir. The author made their feelings for each other jump off the pages. Sexy men who have a vague feeling something is missing, or could possibly be better. Grayson struggle to feel right in his own body seemed very honest. Not a lot of drama in this book. Just three men wanting to find the happiness they know is could be waiting for them.

I received an arc of this book.

This was a good story about three very likable men falling in love. Grayson had never had a relationship with a man since his transition, so he was surprised when he fell for an established couple. I liked Grayson's confidence and his honesty. Marco was flamboyant and sweet, and he was a wonderful calming influence. Demir was a workaholic, and his main goal was to make sure the people he loved were taken care of. The three of them together were hot and sweet and just lovely. I liked the men's friends, and I loved how supportive those friends were. This was a very enjoyable read, and I'm happy to recommend it to others.

What an amazing read!

What I loved most about this was how all three were each their own person. You can tell a lot of thought went into showcasing their individual liked and desires while they grew their relationship. I cried angry heartbreaking tears when Grayson got that call. Some people never learn to see beyond their own view of things and what they can have if they ever did. These guys have a large beautiful family that some will never see. Having this story told with each of their POV made it even more powerful.

The Guy They Need by R. Cayden is a standalone contemporary gay romance between trio of men. Demir and Marco are an established couple that developed a connection with A third, Grayson. There are a lot of emotions in this one - some pain, loss and rejection themes covered... but there is also plenty of steam and sweet romance, a building of something great between these three fantastic characters. This is a well written, beautiful love story between three beautiful men.. and I loved every page.

I fall in love with this author’s style more each time I pick up one of their books, this book about an established couple bringing in a wonderful transgender man to their relationship.

I found this book hard in places but this is a lovely read with a plot and the men’s reasons well thought out, there is multiple POV used to tell the story. This is a heartwarming tale, well worth reading.

Something that I like about R. Cayden's stories is that all the characters work together. Grayson, Demir and Marco are just perfect together. This is such a great read to see how they all get together and it definitely is emotional but it just pulled me more into the story. Such a beautiful and sweet story.

While I do enjoy triads I usually don’t like stories that have an already established couple bringing in another partner however I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The characters were very well thought out and well written. There are so many emotions running through this story. Highly recommend this one

Steamy book about established couple Demir and Marco who finds and falls for Grayson. It was a nice MMM story. I loved that Grayson was trans and how it was written. Tried to really focus on respect. Enjoyable story and super hot.

The Guy They Need by R. Cayden is a very well-done ménage I loved how each person in this ménage has a purpose. No one is left out. This book is written in Tri POV. I also liked that, I got to really sink into each man’s thinking process. In a ménage like this, I think that is very important. I loved the connection everyone has. Really makes the story leap off the pages.
Grayson a very complicated trans character. He has had quite the journey to get to be the man he is today. I loved how he is done. Nothing stereotypical about him. He is unique and completely his own person.
Marco and Demir are already a couple. They own the night club/bar that they meet Grayson in.
Marco is the cute flirty one, and Demir is the more serious down to brass tacks kinda guy. The balance is great cause Grayson brings ease to their relationship. They really need it.
Overall this story is amazingly well done. I loved it. I hope to meet this trio again in the future and see where they are. Based on how much I liked this book, I will be looking to read more from this author in the future.
