Just Enough
Aaron
A Dom and a Rigger walk into a bar…
Sounds like the start of a good joke, but for Cody and me, it's grounds for friendship and nothing more.
Anything else would require acknowledging the barriers between us and the desires we keep hidden.
Invisible scars of war meet impenetrable walls of distrust. An impasse neither of us knows how to overcome until a newbie walks through the doors of The Garden.
Oakley finds himself in need of rescuing anda fair amount of guidance, a challenge Cody and I are willing to accept. But once we begin, it's clear there is more between us than just lessons.
Emotions are building, walls are crumbling, and the three of us are all scrambling for purchase in a dynamic we never expected to find.
Will the three of us be able to find happiness together, or will we be forced to accept our lives as Just Enough?

so much potential
To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. The first 60% of this book is one long conversation. We met Cody and Aaron in the last book, and learn that they’ve been hanging out weekly for a year. And they’re both secretly attracted to each other. They have also been seeing Oakley on their weekly meet ups. For a year. And they’re attracted to him too. That’s about the extent of character and relationship development we get. I didn’t feel the attraction, I didn’t feel the passion. Most relationship development is off page. They had exhaustive talks about BDSM but once it came (at 60%!) it was a couple quick scenes. Then bam they’re in love… I had to back track to see when any of them first kissed because it was written so offhandedly. Where the first book made me feel all the feels (which is fresh in my head after a re-read right before this), this gave me nearly zero feels. The dynamic between the three and the emotion that could have come with Cody and Aaron coming into their feelings had so much potential. It just all fell flat.

Lovely BDSM and a sweet poly among three men, two Doms and a sub. So sweet the part of issuing contracts, aftercare, etc. So BDSM Is explained in detail.

Beautiful story
Harmony has this way of busting me out of my comfort zone and setting me up with something I thought I’d never be into, which is a HUGE compliment.
Poly/RH/ Ménage is not something that I’ve ever been into, but if I was gonna dip my toes, I’m glad that it was with these 3 boys.
From the first look at book 1 in the series, I wanted more Cody, and more old man sweaters, and then you add in their boy and the dynamics shift, creating something that works for each personality in the throuple.
Another amazing read, filled with the sweet and the heat I’ve come to expect from this author, while also touching on some things that were a little bit a bit of a tougher subject.

This was a great book. I was waiting for it since More Than Enough and it didn’t disappoint. I loved Oakley's, Aaron's and Cody's dynamic. I really enjoyed reading about their relationship and how they build it and how it evolved.
I also enjoyed Cody's and Aaron's love. I shipped them since the first book and I was really happy to know this was their book with another amazing guy, Oakley.
Oakley completed Aaron and Cody's relationship. He was the missing puzzle piece and he helped them accept their feeling and love each other. I would have liked more detail on Aaron's trauma and how he was going to work through it but that’s it.
This was a great book and I definitely recommend. Toodles!

What’s not to love about this book. It’s beautiful and emotional. Their singular stories are intriguing, the existing friendship of the two Doms is adorable, and the coming together of the three is spectacular.
I love the deep and complex characters and the way they fight their feelings, but their caring is so fundamental that they can’t fight it. When push comes to shove, there is no keeping them apart, no hiding how much they feel one another. And watching them show that care through their BDSM was lovely.
“And my heart? The shriveled-up piece of stone in my chest expands on a loud pop,”
I haven’t read the first in the series due to generally not enjoying age play, but now I’m thinking I”m going to have to give in and read it anyway, I’ve sure it will be equally as beautiful.

Not what I expected – in a good way (an audio review)
Sometimes I snap up books when they come my way without reading the synopsis. Did that with this book and was pleasantly surprised to find it was a BDSM book. As a fan of whips, floggers, and rope, this book had immediate appeal to me. And I love MMM, so I was completely onboard.
I liked Aaron. He’s a vet who’s recovering from injuries in theater and he’s trying to make a go of civilian life. He’s got some good friends and especially his buddy Cody. His buddy he’s half in love with. The problem? They’re both Doms. And mostly both Tops. So that doesn’t leave much room in the relationship for submission between the two of them. Still, they go for breakfast every Sunday morning at a diner where they’ve met Oakley.
Oakley works as a programmer but also works at the diner so he can spend time with people. He especially loves his regulars. The big men are just his speed – especially when he overhears them talking about ropes. That sends Oakley down the rabbit hole of BDSM and soon he’s wanting to know more.
A chance encounter at The Garden – a BDSM club – has the three men circling each other. Oakley’s willing to submit to these two men for a chance to learn if this submission thing is for him – and what his limits truly are. Cody and Aaron are happy to co-top, but soon things become complicated as the men get more and more involved.
I liked the dynamic between the three. It just worked. And I was happy they were able to find a relationship that worked for all of them. I missed the first book in the series but was fine without it. I might go back and listen, though, to get Cody and Aaron’s buddies’ story.
I thought Dan Levy did a good job narrating. I’ll certainly listen to him again and will happily pick up more B. Harmony books.

Just Enough by B. Harmony

This is one of those cute books. It's short, the characters carry that specific funny relatable trait that only B. Harmony is able to convey in a character and it's somwhow angsty in some points. This book was an interesting sequel to More Than Enough.
While the first book is a DD/Lb, the second one features a MMM relationship with two doms and a sub. Oakley is a down-to-earth kind guy who works at the cafe Aaron and Cody go for breakfast every week. For an entire year, he witnessed their friendship bloom and he has a spot in his heart for both of them.
Aaron and Cody decided to meet each other every week so they could be friends, since their best friends were gettin married. What they didn't expect was that weird sexual tension that surrounded both of them everytime they were together... And the pretty waiter that served them every week. When both stumbled upon Oakley in their kinky club, they decide to take the boy under their care to show him the lifestyle and maybe have him for themselves.
I liked the book. I still think some things should be a little bit more explored, because sometimes it felt like Oakley was third wheeling, so I think a little bit more development could've given me a different impression. However, Oakley and Aaron's personality made me laugh a lot throughout the entire book... Oakley's parents, then? They're hilarious! I wish they showed up more.
All in all, Just Enough in pretty enjoyable and deserves your time.

This book was absolute perfection! I can’t say enough about it. I truly enough a good polyamory book and a good BDSM book; the fact that this one is both…. Aaron and Cody have been dancing around each other, obliviousness and denial written large over both of them. All it takes is the perfect submissive to bring these two Doms to their knees. Oakley is the puzzle piece they were missing to bring everything to reality. Aaron can only find healing when the noise in his head is quiet, but he is much too much of a Dom to actually submit himself. Cody is dominant enough for all three of them. Oakley just wants to learn more about himself and to have both men in his life, however that would wind up being. This book is absolute poetry as the three of them figure their stuff out.
“You gave me something I haven’t had since I came home. You gave me quiet. And for a few hours, it was just enough…here I am, surrounded by two men who not only saw through my pain but gave me relief. Two men who found a way to ease my burden, to give me calmness in the depths of my soul.”

After loving the first book I was expecting to at least like this one. I did not.
Most of the relationship development was off page. This was more of an intro to very basic BDSM in romance.
Oakley seemed to get lost in the shuffle quite a bit. Aaron and Cody were better as side characters. I don’t think they were developed enough to have their own novel. There were a few times I forgot which POV I was listening to and had to double check.
The “I love yous” came out of nowhere. Cody and Aaron had been going to the diner Oakley works at every Sunday for a year. Then when they see Oakley at their BDSM club they decide to be the ones to show him the ropes (ha). Then a couple scenes later they all loved each other.
Dan Levy did an okay job narrating. He doesn’t voice characters too differently which is where some of my confusion came from. I’d probably listen to more of his work if it were a book I really wanted in audio. But would pass otherwise.

This is a really entertaining story in the Enough Series. Cody and Aaron have been friends for over a year. Since they are both Dom, even though they are highly attracted to each other, they never act on their feelings because they don't see how it could work. At their regular Sunday breakfasts, they gradually get to know their server, Oakley. Although they figure he's vanilla, they still feel a strong attraction. When they see Oakley at their BDSM club, they are very surprised and elated to learn he's interested in kink. As the three men explore a potential relationship, they need support from each other. Fortunately, their kinks align very well. Beautiful triad love story.

Aaron, Cody, and Oakley— I love all three of them, and together they fit each other in ways that bring out the best in them all. There’s a great blend of feeling, heat, humor, and sweetness here: the BDSM elements allow for emotional as well as physical exploration, and outside of those moments there’s plenty of great banter, a touch or two of angst, and the chance to get to know what makes each character who they are in ways that make it impossible not to care about them. Well worth a read.

I was looking forward to this book ever since the release of More Than Enough and I am happy to report it didn’t disappoint at all! Aaron and Cody were meant for each other but they needed something (or someone else!) as they’re both doms and Oakley was that perfect missing piece. The relationship dynamic between the three was beautiful to see unfold and develop into something entirely unbreakable. A wonderfully written MMM hurt/comfort romance.

I was not prepared for how emotional...how wonderful this romance was going to be. I wasn't ready to enjoy how Oakley fitted perfectly with Cody and Aaron. The author wrote this throuple perfectly. Brought two Doms their perfect submissive. The relationship between all three developed through stages and I loved every bit of it...cheering them on to the very sweet and HOT end. I'm not a real lover of MMM romances but the author has made me a total fan...5 STARS!!!

Just Enough is the second book in the Enough series by B. Harmony. This book is about Aaron, Cody and Oakley. If you've read the first book you already met the first 2. I loved their story. It was sweet, sexy, full of feels and very well written

Throuple
Hurt/comfort
Friends to lovers
BDSM and light kink
I enjoyed this one just as much, if not more than the first book. I absolutely could not put this down and finished in well under 4 hours. Even though it was shortish, it wasn't rushed. Though I did wish that mentioned off page scene at the end was included. That would have made it even better but it was still a fabulous read as is. It can be read as a standalone.
This was very sweet, very steamy and had no angst. The friends don't play a huge role but they are mentioned and I can't wait to read the next book. Despite their limited role this is a great world the author has created with a group of great supportive friends. I was totally sucked in from the very first page til the very end. There were so many different elements to the plot; friends to lovers, a newbie sub wanting to learn and soldiers dealing with the physical and psychological side effects of war. There was so much hurt/comfort that I found it swoony sweet and very realistic and emotional and very heartwarming. I loved all 3 characters, thought they all had great chemistry and completed each other perfectly and that each character and the relationship was developed perfectly.
I absolutely recommend this and the first. I need the next one like yesterday.
Narration = 4.5 stars
The narrator did a great job. They had a very pleasant reading voice. They expressed the emotions wonderfully and brought the story to life. He differentiated the voices of the side characters and gave Oakley his own distinct voice that suited the character well. Unfortunately the 2 doms sounded the same to me so I left off half a star for that. Otherwise it was a fantastic listening experience.

So much potential....
This story had the potential to be GREAT. The characters are interesting and loveable, the dynamic is captivating, and the side characters are fun. Unfortunately, it was so rushed that we barely get to see the MCs interacting outside of a scene and then they are suddenly in love and the book is over. If this had been fleshed out more, it could have easily been a 4/5 star read. As it stands, it's a 3 at best.

1.5 too much telling not enough showing. The relationship between the three main characters felt totally disconnected, I didn't feel the love between them, I hardly even felt the attraction. Too many skips in time, too many lacking of key scenes and key conversations, not enough depth Within the story. Totally disappointing after the first book. The 1.5 rating is due to the decision writing, the story? Not so much.

B Harmony has a talent that is hard to put into words - it’s gritty and real, showing us the realities that, in this case, vets face that the general public knows very little about. It’s warm and loving, giving us hope and filling us with real emotions. The characters in their books are always deep, complex and the side characters never stay off to the side! Cody and Aaron deserved their HEA and I’m so glad it was together and with Oakley. Absolutely beautiful.

I received an ARC of Just Enough for free in exchange for an open and honest review. I really enjoyed Aaron, Cody, and Oakley’s story. It left me hungry for more, and I am excited to learn there’s a 3rd coming in the series. I would have liked more angst personally as I felt the ending wrapped a bit too quickly and perfectly but otherwise I enjoyed and recommend it!

June 15, 2022Okay so since I loved the first book in the series so freaking much I had exceptionally high hopes for this and unfortunately it didn't quite meet them. Don't get me wrong this book is fine it's good it has a lot of solid representation but it wasn't as well written or complex as the first one.
My first issue when this book is the pacing and the way the time jumps you lose out on a lot of valuable moments that could have really affected the way you all see the characters.
So this book is about the secondary characters from the first book The Best Friends, Cody and Aaron, and their relationship was super confusing to me. They didn't know each other at all in the first book and all of a sudden they're like best friends? I don't know I just didn't feel invested in that. I wanted maybe a little bit of a prologue or a few snippets as they grew their friendship but we didn't get that. So Cody and Aaron go to this breakfast place every Sunday or something and they're pretty much both obsessed with their waiter, Oakley. Oakley is seemingly vanilla though and the two of them don't think that they could ever start something up with him. Now let me be super clear, Cody and Aaron are not in a sexual or romantic relationship. They are both Doms and really stubborn and stuck in their feels and even though they both are attracted to each other they don't actually do anything about it which is kind of a frustrating situation to be thrust into.
The two of them end up intercepting Oakley at the kink Club and realize that he's not quite as vanilla as he seems and the two of them offer to kind of guide Oakley and do his BDSM journey. Of course this leads on a rabbit hole and they all develop feelings and blah blah blah.
All of the most important moments of this book are skipped over. There's like a really big conversation between Aaron and Cody where they finally admit their feelings and it's just summarized. I was livid. Then there's all the first few scenes with Cody Aaron and Oakley and totally skipped over. Like are you fucking kidding me. What is this book even about?
The only reason this is going to be a middle of the road book for me and not a bad book is that it had really good chronic pain and chronic migraine representation. Aaron is a veteran and has PTSD and chronic migraines. This representation is not one that I see often, I've actually only ever read about chronic migraines once before, and as someone who also experiences them it's really difficult to find representation about it.
There's one scene that I really like to wear Aaron talks about how he basically has a headache everyday but his migraine wasn't as frequent. And this is something that I don't think a lot of people who don't get headaches are migraines can comprehend. The fact that a lot of people with chronic migraines pretty much have a constant headache. A headache at the level that would put someone else out of commission but it's one that we just go about our lives with because we have no other option. And then when we get migraines that are way more frequent than in regular folks, they absolutely take us out for the count. Something that a regular person would go to the ER for is something that we battle alone in the dark and the silence.
Because this representation was so good, I am just going to let this book go on as good. It is fine, it's solid, but it was generally a disappointment just based on the fact of how much I really enjoyed the first one. There was so much potential and it was pretty much floundered.
Gay MCs, chronic pain, chronic migraines, PTSD, poly rep. Age gap.

Because this representation was so good, I am just going to let this book go on as good. It is fine, it's solid, but it was generally a disappointment just based on the fact of how much I really enjoyed the first one. There was so much potential and it was pretty much floundered.

(ARC Review)
In general, I have a hard time putting into words what I think or feel when I finish reading a book, but somehow, I find a way around it. Now, some are more difficult for me than others, not because the book is bad, or because I didn't like it . Nope. I can read about a lot of triggers and I don't even blink (I mean, I'll probably cry or yell or swear, after all I'm human and I suffer, yes, but definitely I enjoy the ride), but what I find tough to read, or enjoy rather, are the threesomes. I'm not talking about one-night stands, where there's no relationship whatsoever between any of the people involved. No, I understand those. It is the others, the ones that are full of emotion and feelings that cause me problems. And that's because I really hate sharing. If someone is mine, they are mine (And yes, maybe it's a problem of self-confidence or self-esteem or insecurity, or it's just that I don't like to share, but... it is what it is).
That being said, I knew what I was getting into by participating in this ARC, and I have to say: I absolutely LOVED this book, threesome and all!
It helps that I really like the way this particular author writes. Her respectful approach to the different and difficult themes within her stories (writing about any trauma is very hard, and writing about the different lifestyles and relationships within the world of BDSM is even more complicated). The fact that she does not rush to solve the problems, but little by little guides the development of the story, which makes the reader better understand what happens inside each protagonist, mentally, emotionally and physically.
I had been looking forward to the story between Cody and Aaron ever since I met them in More Than Enough (another amazing book. Read it if you haven't!). I was intrigued as to how she was going to fit them together. I mean...two Doms...
And then Oakley appears, the perfect link. Don't get me wrong, I'm still not into threesomes, but this one in particular is UNIQUE and I loved it!
The only thing I would have liked more is that there was more Cody's POVs. But that's maybe because of the three, he's the protagonist I liked and intrigued the most since I first read him, and I think compared to the other two, we see a little less of his thought process and his emotions.
So, I recommend this book? The answer would be a big YES!

Wow! Do I ever love the Enough series by B. Harmony! I bought the first book (More Than Enough) because I loved the blurb and it was a Daddy/Boy book which is my favorite. I was not disappointed. I received an ARC for Just Enough and loved it too, although this one centers on BDSM. It is the story of 2 men, Cody and Aaron who are best friends with the main characters in the first book. Aaron was a marine and in a bad accident during combat that leaves him with PTSD and migraines which also factor into the story. They both have a ‘thing” for each other but don’t disclose it because they don’t want to ruin their friendship, plus they are both Doms and don’t think a relationship would work out between them. For the last year they have been going to a diner for Sunday breakfast and Oakley has waited on them. They love to tease him and are very attracted to him and the feeling is mutual, but again, none of them act on it. Oakley works on computer code from home and works at the diner on the weekends to get out and be with people. He is very naïve but knows he is a sub and has started to research BDSM. One of his coworkers takes him to the club and he has a bad experience until Cody and Aaron step in and tell him they will show him around to help him decide if this is for him. The relationship between the 3 of them develops from there, from finding out their kinks match up, to doing scenes together, and then discovering they love each other. I really enjoyed this book. The characters were snarky and hilarious at times which keeps you wanting to read more, but there are also several serious sections with some angst. They all really liked each other but couldn’t bring themselves to say anything so it was fun to see how they figured it out in the end. The side characters also added to the story. I like reading about characters from previous books and Sawyer and Eric (from More Than Enough) played a big part in this one. Oakley’s friend from work and his hippy parents also added some amusing incidents to the story. The scenes they played out were hot and helped the men to discover that they needed each other to be complete. I highly recommend this book and am definitely looking forward to reading the next one in the series as well as more from Ms. Harmony.

Aaron, Cody and Oakley have insane chemistry together.
I love that it started with a little dive into Aaron and Cody’s friendship. Them having the same attraction to Oakley, and he’s the reason they go to the same restaurant every week for breakfast together.
I really liked that Oakley was brand new to the lifestyle and he found two great Doms to show him the ropes. He got so lucky with these two. I really appreciated the slow exploration. The gentle showing of how their world works, and this book including what it should look like when you walk into a BDSM club. Them not even having sex until about 60% of the book made it all even better reading about for me.
I think out of the three of them, Aaron was my favorite character. He had more depth to him. His struggles with his time serving and the aftermath of the catastrophe that left him with damage. He is someone that struggles with migraines and I really loved that we got to see how that looked for him, and the care he received from Cody. I thought it a special moment.
This book was 5 stars for me all the way through until the end. Not that the ending was bad, I just felt like it left me missing something I wanted to happen. I desperately wanted to see something happen between Aaron and Cody. Just them. No one else. I felt like we almost had that when Aaron breaks down and shows up at Cody’s door. It felt so close. Aaron and Cody were kissing, connecting with one another and then bam Oakley shows up at the door.
Not that I didn’t like Oakley. I do. And he truly belongs with the two of them, but I just so freaking badly wanted to see Aaron and Cody connect deeper. It was ripped away from me as the reader.
I get that the two of them would never work long term together alone because they’re both Doms and need more, but come on. They could have had at least one moment alone. That’s all I ask for. One.
I ended up feeling all that build up of chemistry and the tiny angsty thoughts of one another and how they felt was for nothing. It delivered me with nothing.
So that’s why I knocked it down 1 star.

First things first, Just Enough is book 2 in the Enough series and Sawyer and Eric are heavily featured in this book, so if you, like me, haven't read More Than Enough and you like Daddy Dom/Little dynamics, you might want to rectify that before or after reading Just Enough.
This is a MMM story, and as such, it follows Cody and Aaron, who are Doms who met through their mutual friend Sawyer a year ago. Now, they're friends and have a standing breakfast meeting every week, where they both drool after their waiter, Oakley. Oakley is fairly innocent until he overhears a conversation between Cody and Aaron that has him going down a rabbit hole as he discovers BDSM and what he might or not like about it. Oakley's friend Kennedy takes him to a club and not that surprisingly, Aaron and Cody are members there and end up offering Oakley to guide him in the things he wants to learn.
Cody and Aaron are the Doms, but Aaron is more vers than Cody, and they've both been intrigued by the other at one or another point during the time they've been friends, but it wasn't until they added Oakley into the mix that they found the catalyst for their relationship to work. As a throuple they were pretty balanced and steamy, which isn't an easy feat. I really liked that neither of them was left behind in any scene.
I really enjoyed Sawyer and Eric's dynamic and how they were such an integral part of their friends' lives. I'll definitely go and read their story as soon as I have some free time. And I really liked Oakley's parents, who were a hoot!
Overall, this was a really good, steamy, fun, and engaging story, perhaps there was a little too much introspection at first, but once Cody, Aaron, and Oakley started exploring their relationship, it worked much better. Recommendable!

*4.5*
Just Enough gives us the story of Aaron and Cody, who are the best friends of the MC's in book one and definitely seemed to, eventually, have a connection there. Now we see how close they've actually become as friends whilst also denying themselves anything more as they're both Doms. What they can both agree on is their attraction and want for Oakley, the server they have been to visit every Sunday for the past year at the local diner. Imagine their surprise when the man they thought to be so vanilla turns up at The Garden, the local BDSM club.
I love this story for these two Doms, both in need of a sub but never imagining just one man can bring them together. Oakley is the sweetest thing and has only just discovered this whole new world. It's just his perfect luck that the two men he's been lusting after are the two who save him from an unwanted admirer and offer to lead him in his wants and needs. It may be a short amount of time that they spend together but their relationship deepens quickly and Oakley, even as a submissive, stands up and points the Doms in the right direction to ensure they also get what they want and are looked after. This is especially important for Aaron and caring for his illnesses that are a result from his injuries sustained as a Marine. The time they spend together in the playroom is crazy hot as Oakley falls so easily into submission, and Cody and Aaron find just how well they work together. Also, two new favourite people may be Oakley's parents. Absolutely hilarious with no boundaries leads to a great start to the final chapter.
A beautifully written MMM romance that takes care with exploration, friends to lovers and a veteran Marine.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

Another wonderful book by B. Harmony. I read this in one sitting mostly because putting it down was harder than staying awake. This is the story of Cody, Codfish, and Aaron, whom we first met in More than Enough. In this book both men are building a friendship while fighting an attraction that doesn’t feel safe to them. They have plenty of reasons a relationship wouldn’t work, it would mess up their new found family with Sawyer and Eric, two Doms really don’t belong together, and they drive each other nuts. Then they find a really good reason to try working together as Doms when they see their Oakley, a waiter they’ve both crushed on from their Sunday breakfast place, being harassed at The Garden.
Will this really work? Well, Oakley wants to learn how to be a submissive. He’s attracted to both Cody and Aaron or The Professor as he calls him. When Aaron doesn’t show up to breakfast with Cody one Sunday, he forces the issue and makes Cody open his own eyes to how much he cares about Aaron. From that point on, the walls start coming down. When a flustered Aaron surprises Cody while he’s on the phone with Oakley, he once again takes the reins to make his Doms understand that it’s okay to be vulnerable.
This book again shines a light on Veterans and PTSD. It is written with love and care, in my opinion, and shows that mental health support lasts long after the return home. The story itself shows how love and acceptance can bring down the strongest walls that protect one’s heart. I continue to love B. Harmony’s writing and can’t wait for her next book.

Cody and Aaron have been slowly becoming friends over the last year since their best friends started dating. Both Cody and Aaron are attracted to each other, but they know a relationship wouldn't work between them since they are both Doms. They enjoy going to breakfast once a week and trying to see which of them can make their waiter Oakley blush. Neither thinks they have a chance with Oakley since they assume he is vanilla and wouldn't be interested in what they offer. That assumption gets turned on its head when they rescue Oakley from an overbearing Dom, who can't take no for an answer at the club. They offer to show Oakley the ropes, but Oakley sees the sparks between the two and figures he is there until they figure out the attraction between them.
The three of them together made for a great group. They worked hard to make sure that they balanced their relationship between the three of them. I enjoyed Oakley's parents and how accepting and chill they were about everything dealing with. Although they embarrassed Oakley, he still had a great relationship with his parents that many people wish they had. I also found that the guys communicated great. There was no miscommunication to make the book longer or cause angst when it didn't need it.

Beautiful. Aaron, Cody and Oakley form one of the most unique and beautiful triad relationships I’ve ever read. I loved the dynamic between Cody and Aaron in the first book, where we got to see the beginning of their friendship and chemistry. The way the author is able to show the love that has grown between them since the first book and explores how on their own they struggle to see how a future together would ever be possible was so deftly handled. I loved the slow discovery of how adding Oakley’s perfect blend of sweetness, submission and sass to the mix is the solution to a building a future together. B Harmony has a unique talent in bringing complicated characters and relationships to life. The writing gives unique voice to three very different MCs and has a wonderful blend of snarky dialogue, genuine emotion, humor and inferno levels of steam. I especially loved how the author thoughtfully explored how Aaron’s life is impacted by his time as a Marine and the PTSD he lives with. The love and care all the characters- Oakley, Cody, Sawyer and Eric have for Aaron is a beautiful thing. Excellent book, I can enthusiastically recommend it! ❤️

I have tried to read MMM books by some of the biggest writers in the MM genre over the past few years and DNF any of them because I felt one of the MC's just didn't belong with the other two. Just Enough by B. Harmony was the exception. Aaron, Cody and Oakley pulled me into their world and still haven't let go even though I finished the book hours ago.
The connection and chemistry between Aaron, a Marine veteran with ongoing physical and mental war injuries, and Cody, his friend and fellow Dom was apparent from the first chapter. Aaron and Cody never considered a relationship with each other because there was always a missing piece when they tried to visualize being together. Oakley, the adorable sassy waiter who served them at Sunday brunch every week completed them perfectly.
The characters were well written and the book was the best combination of angsty, steamy, funny and sweet. I appreciated that the men communicated well with each other and all had something to contribute to the relationship. I am looking forward to the next book in the Enough Series!
