A Spoonful of Sugar
A kinky interlude over the holidays brings three men closer as their unconventional relationship evolves from casual to serious.
Scott Vernier met Jericho Griffin and Pascal Olejatz at a Halloween party in October and soon became casually involved with the kinky, committed pair.
Over the course of the holidays, the men struggle to find time together outside their busy schedules and finally make space for each other over Christmas week. Scott finds himself craving more of a committed relationship with these wonderful men and tiptoes around the issue to find out if Jericho and Pascal feel the same.
Scott’s dreams of expertly delivered medical play already a vivid reality, the men introduce him to more deliciously subversive scenes including teacher-student roleplay and invite him to dabble with imaginary non-consent.

4/5 ⭐️
5/5 🌶
Another hot novella by AE Lister. I love this throuple and I laughed out loud multiple times. But it was also hot af and as steamy as the first one. I really hope we see more from them.
My only thing I didn’t like was the ending. It ended sort of abruptly for me but it’s so minor because we know they have a HEA style relationship thanks to the first book.

A Spoonful of Sugar is available now!
I really hope the stories of Scott, Jericho, and Pascal continue! I'll read 'em as fast as this marvelous author can write them. (If you haven't read Skeletal Equation yet, you'll definitely want to start with that.)
A.E. Lister excels at writing menage MMM romances, and I'm loving these three men together. Lister has an amazing skill at writing from one characters point of view, and including the emotions and sensations of the others. Scott's moments of uncertainty, being the newbie added to this established couple, adds some wonderful depth to this budding relationship.
Nobody can beat A.E. Lister when it comes to kink, and we've got a giant sized helping in A Spoonful of Sugar! The doctor is back, and he's a pervy headmaster too boot. And Digger makes an appearance as well.
Heartwarming Christmas moments as the trio spends time with the family across the street. But you won't need to wait for December 25th to enjoy this one!

It’s been a while since Scott has seen Jericho and Pascal. All three had a full schedule and little time to come together for a scene.
Jericho and Pascal are a couple for over four years. Jericho asks Scott to stay with them over Christmas week. Scott is happily surprised and accepts.
So it did happen Scott has an appointment with ‘Dr. Griffin’ and his assistant. Let the play begin.
It’s exciting, kinky, the doctor explains point by point what will happen. There’s always the possibility to use the safeword. They are polite, and oh boy, the scenes are all deliciously kinky.
They fit extremely well together, affectionate, fun, the dynamic between the men was amazing, arousing, playful and balanced.
Whatever play we can watch, doctor, patient, professor, student, slave, pup, whatever they do, it was arousing af, and a sight for the eye.
Humiliation, submission, domination, correction, punishment, every deliciousness you can fantasize about, it’s there!
The fun was so palpable, the witty humor, I laughed and smiled a lot.
They had a Christmas to never forget.
It’s an amazingly written, super kinky story, with such lovable characters, some sweet secondary characters, all just fine developed, the attention at the important parts, overall a very enjoyable experience!
This story is the sequel of Skeletal Equation, I do hope to see them get into something more permanent in the nearby future.

Skeletal Equation blew me away with its kinky fun and wonderful character dynamics and I'm really happy to read more about these three guys.
I already noticed in the first book how the story plays out like a dirty but also rather romantic fantasy, and usually I'm not into those kind of personal fantasies (fantasy as a literary genre is one of my favourites), I need something more "real". But this trio manages to grab me with their kinky scenes and the poly relationship, and I find myself enjoying their shenanigans immensely, while I'd probably be pretty bored if it was a traditional MM romance advancing similarly.
There's a third book too, gimme.

This second part to Scott, Jericho and Pascals story - filthy, sexy, hot and way more kinkier than the first... 🔥🔥🔥

I’ll never get tired of these three. They are such a dynamic trio.
In Spoonful, we revisit the delicious trio of Scott, Jericho and Pascal. I love how they play off of one another. Jericho and Pascal are an already established couple, and while they incorporate Scott into their relationship wonderfully, there was a moment or two that I felt like Scott was outside looking in. I would imagine that those moments are inevitable when you have a situation like this.
There were so many hot moments in this book that I couldn’t even pick a favorite. I love how Jericho seems to be this great orchestrator when it comes to scenes and he is a master.
I am hopeful for another book for these three. They are so great to read.

If you haven't taken my advice to pick up AE Lister's Skeletal Equations, then you haven't meet Scott, Jericho and Pascal yet and you're probably not ready to take on A Spoonful of Sugar...

Oh effing yes! We are back with the doctor setup and with these three kinky men. How wonderfully delicious this story is, come onnn!
I love Scott, Jericho and Pascal and I loooove their kinky shenanigans so much. Medical kink spiced with a professor/student setting? Oh and don't forget the puppy play!
I loved the Christmas setting and just about everything about this yummy book.
Highly recommend it, but read its prequel first, Skeletal Equation. Can't wait to see more of them.

A Joyfully Jay review.
4.35 stars
Approaching Christmas, it’s clear that there’s more than just sexy times for this rambunctious trio. First, Scott and Pascal enjoy hanging out and holiday shopping together, and Jericho loves coming home to find them chilling out and watching a movie. They all seem to get on as friends, and that’s why Jericho asks if Scott will come and stay with them for the entirety of Christmas week, as they are all off from work. It’s a big step, and Scott is interested, but he’s a little afraid to fall hard for these men if he’s just going to be one of any number of kink partners for Jericho and Pascal.
The more time they spend, however, the more the bond between all three of them grows.

Short and hot!
A Spoonful of Sugar is a fabulous short and sexy read. AE Lister brings the heat in this We Three Kings short story. Scott joins Pascal and Jericho for the Christmas holidays and the fun begins immediately.
There isn't a ton of plot in this steamy read, but there's enough to satisfy most readers. And the kink more than makes up for it. There's a bit of puppy kink, doctor kink, and teacher kink - something for everyone!
There is zero angst in this story and a happy-for-now ending. I definitely recommend!

I need more of Scott, Jericho & Pascal! They're adorable. And, oh, so kinky!!! I love how creative they get and how their dynamic works, with Jericho being the dominant and Scott and Pascal being at his mercy in various role-playing scenarios.
The story is filled with sexy times, and Lister excels in writing great sexy scenes. But I'm already attached to these guys, so I wish we had seen more development of their relationship, more interactions outside the kink, and definitely more of them out in the open. Maybe in future stories? I sure hope we get more.

I love these three men! This is sequel to Skeletal Equation and it's so much fun to read! This one establishes the relationship between Scott, Jericho, and Pascal. We get the amazingly hot and kinky scenes with some pretty sweet moments thrown in. AE Lister's writing is always beautiful and I devoured this book! I think this one has one of my favorite student/teacher scenes I've read yet! While there are of course similar kinks from the previous book, each scene feels fresh and new. It's the perfect kinky Christmas story. I really hope we get more of these guys!

I just loved this second book by AE Lister, it certainly is hot, kinky and sexy as. Three men who have become friends finally manage to find time to come together once more over the xmas break. Jericho Grifin and Pascal Olejatz certainly want more with Scott, and it seems that the more kinky they are the more Scot loves it.
A really lovely merry christmas as friends become more, and the more the doctor does the more the men enjoy their activities.
Definitely worth another 5 star review.

It keeps getting better.
What do you get when cross a doctor, a professor, and a pup? One hot book. Each chapter kept getting better and better. I thought the plot was going to be the same through the whole book, but each chapter had a different kink. I didn't know there were so many ways to keep a relationship exciting. I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of Scott, Jericho, and Pascal.

I loved A Spoonful of Sugar by AE Lister. We were first introduced to Jericho, Pascal, and Scott in Skeletal Equation: A Dark and Deadly Romance, a Halloween-themed story. I loved getting to see more of Jericho, Pascal, and Scott and watching their relationship progress along with their feelings for each other. I could definitely read more books about these three people.

When I read this book, I had no idea this was a sequel.
Despite missing out on the first installment, this sensual journey of Scott, Jericho and Pascal, was more than enticing to the senses. A smoking MMM that was just as fulfilling as it was sexy. The characters blended well, were attuned to the needs of one another - a perfect balance.

Scott, Jericho, and Pascal forge a great bond and the introduction of new scenes is wonderfully done. The storyline flows at a good pace with great dialogue and situations. Loved the heartwarming intense feelings they share and how careful they are toward each other. Can not wait to read more of this group.

This was an amazing second installment of Jericho, Pascal and Scott’s journey together. AE Lister has knocked this particular trope out of the park - it’s so incredibly sexy, exceptionally well written and has left me wanting more!! Read this now! (Actually - go read Skeletal Equation first - that’ll give you a proper intro to this trio. You won’t be sorry!)

A Spoonful of Sugar revolves around a threesome and their love for kink and BDSM. The book contains medical and other kinks and is well written. The book is light on story and more focused on the steamy scenes and kink. Overall a good read to get your blood hot.

I loved this story even more! I enjoy the dynamics of their kinky relationship and one thing I loved most of all was the wonderful relationship they had with their neighbors from across the street and their loving support of their trans son, Jason. I do hope to read more about this great throttle.

Scott meets Pascal and Jericho at a Halloween party and now they are going to spend Christmas together.
Pascal and Jericho have been a couple for years and have recently added Scott, who shares with them their taste for sexual games.
Almost the entire book is various fantasies: teacher-students, doctor and patients...
Entertaining, quick read.

Scott doesn't know where he stands with Pascal and Jericho. Is he just a fun occasional bed partner? Someone to satisfy Jericho's medical kink and Pascal's pseudo voyeurism? Or is there something more there.
This story clarifies the relationship. The medical kink of course continues. And Scott's humorous internal monologue also continues.

This was about a established pair finding their perfect match in their life and their BDSM lifestyle. It was fun and fast paced. Kept me entertained. Good read.

Non-Traditional Christmas
This book continues Scott’s adventures and growing relationship with Jericho and Pascal (they met at Halloween in Skeletal Equation). I liked how their three-way relationship was non-traditional but worked perfectly for them. Not super Christmas-y, but just right.
December 9, 2021
This one has all the heat you could ask for and so much chemistry both as a group but also with the characters one on one. A fantastic follow up story

The book is a good romance read. The story has a good story line. The characters are good, and they have good chemistry.

Oh they found plenty of time to play much to my enjoyment (chuckle). There is nothing better than a BDSM M/M/M threesome when it is written by A.E. Lister.
If I see a Lister book which features BDSM I automatically say, “Yes! I would love to read that book! Gimme, gimme, gimme!!!” A Spoonful of Sugar is no different and does not disappoint. Need a fix during this busy holiday season, then Lister satisfies your needs and then some.
I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
