"You can touch him how I tell you to"

OH GOD.


That was HOT.



It seems Adam and Christoffer want a playmate and Tyler is more than happy to oblige,

“I am hopelessly into you. You know that, right? I see C smell your hair, and I’m hard. It’s ridiculous. You two have this whole death-do-us-part thing going on, and it’s incredibly hot. You just blew my mind, man. (...)

Tyler was a bit overwhelmed afterwards...he wasn't the only one!

Good lord! This little nugget is illegally hot.

One in Between is about the first time Adam and Christoffer invite Tyler to join them. Tyler is more than willing and completely overwhelmed the next morning.

He tells Christoffer that Adam is the embodiment of every erotic fantasy every gay man has had for the past one thousand years .... It's a mystery he hasn't exploded into a giant rainbow yet.

Having a wild night living out Adam's fantasies only strengthens Adam and Christoffer's relationship. Adam drinks coffee sitting in Christoffer's lap, and that moment is the epitome of happiness.

Roe Horvat writes the best erotica: sensual and romantic. We don't deserve Adam, and yet here we are.

I will get on my knees to beg for more of Those Other Books!

4 Stars!!

Ménage is not my usual go to but in this series, the dynamic was known from the very beginning and this was an oh so nice look at what has conspired in the past between Christoffer, Adam, and their friend Tyler.

Undoubtedly hot and sexy but really, just a teaser for hopefully what’s really to come - the penultimate scene that was first referenced in The Other Book. The wait better not be too long!

Sexy, sexy little short. I heart everything that Roe Horvat writes.

A hot little interlude, chronicling the first time Adam and Christoffer invited Tyler into their bed for some mind-blowing fun.

As expected, this was hot, hot, hot, but I’m also increasingly impressed with the emotional depth of these characters and the delicious complexities of their relationships.

I also loved the teasing set-up to what I’m assuming will be book three. I can’t wait!

38.

38 pages.

38 pages of sensual splendor.

If I had to take a guess, I’d place my bet on Adam. I would say it was Adam who wouldn’t shut up and demanded that Roe share this mouthwatering morsel. This tidbit not only bridges the first and second book but also sets the framework for the next. Impressive!

Here’s the thing, I didn’t think I was missing a single thing. I was content and happy to wait until book 3 sets my kindle on fire. I was wrong. I did NEED this. And I loved it.

A year has passed since Adam found C. A year for Christoffer to lavishly worship his boy. The comfort and security of their love is simply breathtaking. There is no question they are solid and in it for the end game. It’s Adam’s birthday and time to party. This gang knows how to celebrate…and boy do they ever. Tyler is caught encroaching on a private moment and while he is firmly chastised it also unlocks a window he never dreamed would open. It’s no secret that Tyler covets what Adam and C have. He longs for passion with someone who knows his heart and will finally allow him to bare his soul. He hasn’t had the great pleasure of meeting Joel…yet. But the fantasy of having his own ‘someone’ is beginning to flicker in his heart. Leave it to his best friend to ignite the flame and show him what a soulmate truly is.

*whispers* I’m hoping the final trio comes soon…I can hardly wait!

Beware of: Pure passion. One plus one…plus one more. But don’t confuse sharing bodies with sharing hearts.

This book is for: Those Other Books fans need this. And if you’re not familiar, do yourself a favor and slip in between these pages for a steamy story that will…(move over Ty) blow you away.

this is one gorgeous cover! making this a short story should've been a crime. idk if this is an unpopular opinion: i liked joel in the first book but i wanted these three in a triad honestly.

[Gabi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hot as hell!
Lust, love, trust and consent.
Exactly what I expected.

[Drache.... (Angelika) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Beautiful.
Slightly on the edge of my comfort zone, but Roe Horvat kept the focus for Christoffer strictly on Adam, degrading Tyler to a trustworthy means to an end, so it felt safe (for my romance loving heart).

[Elsbeth · Rating 4 out of 5]

So impressed the author is able to make this highly erotic and emotional intense at the same time. Never will you doubt Adam and Christopher belonging to each other. Whoever comes to get invited to their bed.

This series can go on and on. I'll read it.

[Malene · Rating 4 out of 5]

One in Between is a quick read. Only 39 pages but filled with so much love, heat and sex! I just can’t get enough of Christoffer, Adam and Tyler.
When I read book 1 The Other Book there was a very hot threesome with Christoffer, his boy Adam and Tyler. Book 2 Adam Only is Christoffer and Adam’s story and when it ended they hadn’t yet begun to play with Tyler so I was very interested to find out how them playing together came about.
Well One In Between gave me the story.
This series is so much more than M/M erotica. This series is about love, consent and respect between these three people and it shows. In their actions and words. Roe Horvat is definitely my go to author when it comes to M/M.

[True Loveislovereview · Rating 5 out of 5]

DANG that was incredible intense, I looooved the whole story from first word till last, I was a bit like Tyler totally overwhelmed, lol.
Adam is getting stronger, even in his dreams. Christoffer knows exactly what Adam wants and needs. Tyler has an incredible passionate role with what Christoffer has in mind for Adam.
What follows is impossible to describe because there is a passion and intensity that can’t fit on paper by my hands. Read it yourself!

Masterly written!!
I was overstimulated and exhausted and I didn’t had a clue what to read next. Well after a few hours I started to read Adam Only again!!

*4,5 stars*

My brain cells must have momentarily short circuited from the extreme heat in this book, so all I can say is …

1. I love love love Roe Horvat!
2. This book is as insanely hot and intense as the other ones in the series.
3. Even in this short novella the amount of emotions really got me.
4. A prime example of how erotic romance should be done: delicious, hot sex with tons of feelings!

Highly recommended!

[Cadiva · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my sweet lord Roe that was perfection in a small and totally tasty bite sized nugget of emotionally connected and flaming hot exploration!

Loved every single bit of this little snippet into the lives of Adam and Christoffer and their experiences with Tyler.

#ARC kindly received from the author in return for an honest and unbiased review.

[Ele · Rating 4 out of 5]

Adam and Christoffer invite a third person, Tyler, in their bed. I am in awe of how the author made it all about the couple. Tyler was there and while he wasn't ignored, he was there only to make Adam and Christoffer's relationship a thousand times stronger. And that's exactly what happened. I actually liked this short more than the original story. It feels more complete now. Impressive...

[Niinii · Rating 5 out of 5]

Can't wait for Marcus, Luke and Liam's story!

[Vanna (on-hiatus) · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 hot hot hot stars!!! 🔥🔥🔥💞. This was a novella following up on Adam and Christoffer after their HEA (Adam Only). Both are still very much in love and secure in their relationship a year after they got together and are celebrating Adam's birthday with all their mutual friends. Among them is Tyler who has had a fuck-buddy-type relationship with Christoffer before and has joined many of his friends in threesomes; but now his focus has landed on Adam. Although Adam is intrigued by the proposition, he trusts only Christoffer and Christoffer revels in that feeling. How the three come together for that first interlude between them is the crux of this short. Needless to say, the steam and sizzle is off the charts.., but Roe also goes into the emotions of trust and vulnerability and the delicate balance between the two to make sure no one in this relationship feels powerless. It may not be everyone's idea of a relationship, but it sustains and thrives because it is unconventional. I loved it 😍, but then I love all of RH's books❤️. I also loved the subtle nudge in the direction of Marcus, Liam and Luke.. and I can't wait to read their story or stories. 💞🤩
Highly recommended to all fans of Roe Horvat and anyone looking to read a hot, well-written short erotica. 💕💖

[Rachel Emily · Rating 5 out of 5]

I LOVE this series of books! Seriously sexy, emotional, and everything just totally works for me. This one takes place really in between books 2 and 1, where we get to see how Tyler starts getting involved with Adam and Christoffer.

For such a short story, Roe packs a lot of heat, story, and love in those pages!

ARC given in exchange for an honest review.

[Lisazj1 · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5 stars. Damn. For so few pages this was blisteringly hot. And gave me a new appreciation for the reason Christoffer and Adam wanted a third partner. It really wasn’t to do with Tyler, or whoever else it might have been at all. It was completely about each other, about what each one wanted to give to the other. Really amazing.

And maybe even a peek at the next book, yeah? 😏

[Trio · Rating 4 out of 5]

I owe a review for this one - I'll post asap.
short story exploring how Tyler gets with Adam and Christoffer - truly beautiful


a copy of One in Between (Those Other Books, #2.5) was provided by the author for the purpose of my review

[Dia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another 4,5 stars for this shortie by Roe Horvat!

This is book #2,5 in the series Those Other Books.
It can be read as a standalone, and it's actually before the first book and after the second one. If that makes sense.

If you haven't read the other two books, you can definitely start with this one as it's about Adam and Christoffer (who met in Adam Only). You should jump right into this one and then read the other books too, because these are extremely HOT, and intense, and the writing is SO good!!!

The steam level is just super high!

[Bookreader87(Amanda) · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the story of the first time Adam and Christopher invited Tyler into their bedroom.
It is a short read. Enjoy 😉

[AGandyGirl · Rating 5 out of 5]

Had the opportunity to Beta read this baby and read the ARC and still I want to read it again and again.

This was exactly the scene I wanted after reading the other 2 books in this series. Adam and C are unbelievably perfect for one another but Tyler is the standout in this short. My goodness. His reaction to Adam and C is breathtaking. You can begin to see the desire he has for a real relationship. And I am also so damn excited for Marcus, Liam and Luke I can hardly stand it.



Bring it Roe!!

[Mónica BQ · Rating 2 out of 5]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

1.5 stars rounded up out of pure sentimentalism towards Horvat's writing. Which I know can be pretty fucking spectacular. It just isn't here.

[Denise H. · Rating 5 out of 5]

A short story erotic ménage night !
Ahhh, this is an interlude in devoted dominant Christoffer
and dancer, Adam’s, lovely life. Christoffer...

and Adam are thinking about Tyler’s obsession of Adam.

As a dear friend, Christoffer knows Tyler,

and knows Adam’s heavy needs.

Adam just has to be ready and tell them when he’s ready. So, we are taken on a ménage night of deep passion, erotic acts, delirious sounds, freedom and sensory overload.

True ecstasy for each man.
It’s intense, exquisite and fulfilling.
I love Roe Horvat’s marvelous writing.
ENJOY !

This was a super short but very steamy snippet describing the encounter between Christoffer, Adam and Tyler and what led to it that was mentioned in The Other Book. There was a bit of drama, and many of Adam's friends from the dancing company were present. I hope there will be more stories featuring all the vibrant men introduced here. But the intimate encounter between three men was wow, so sensual and wildly passionate. I loved it. I loved them together. I recommend it.

[dammit, liz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another beautiful erotic short from Roe. This book takes place after Adam Only and before The Other Book. As much as I love Adam and Christoffer, my favorite thing about this story is how absolutely thrilled Tyler was to get a chance to play with these two. I can imagine him doing a little happy dance in the bathroom. It’s is sexy as can be, but it’s also almost reverent in the way Christoffer wants to fulfill Adam’s fantasies and take care of him.

[Alisa · Rating 3 out of 5]

For erotica it was fine. (and I really don't want my erotica to be fine. I want it to be smoking hot) I just don't get the magical feeling everyone else does when they read this author's work. I've tried 3-4x and it's always just meh for me. I think's time for me to bow out on their books.

[Santy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well it definitely accomplished what it set out to do: which was world class erotica.

I think it also set up a Marcus/Liam/Luke? Book pretty well

Nicely done!

Me encantó la pareja protagonista del libro segundo de la serie, aquí vemos cómo va evolucionando su relación con un episodio muy muy erótico.
