Simon and Adam are a bonded, happy, couple that work together running a 5-star hotel and restaurant in Key West Florida. They are as different individually as night and day, personality wise...but they simply, absolutely, work in spite of their unconventional ideas about their relationship. They both, occasionally, like to bring a third into their tightly knit relationship. However, that person only gets invited once. The two are committed to one another and their relationship remains first and rock solid. Simon is the serious one and the manager of the hotel. Adam is the easy going, fragile half of the relationship with an ex that abused him past. Simon is fiercely protective of Adam. Then from small-town Alabama comes chef extraordinaire, Wilson Curtis to stay at their hotel...and for the first time...things change. A one-night deal becomes two...then three and then ten. Will's small town in Alabama is anything but open or consenting about his sexuality. His ex-partner back home dropped him when things become too heated in the town and folks stopped eating in his restaurant because they were afraid that they would "turn gay" from eating the food that he prepared. Meeting Simon and Adam was overwhelming and eye-opening for him since he had never seen such acceptance of the simple act of walking down the street holding the hand of man for the first time. These characters were so well written that they almost came off the page. N.R. Walker created real men with real interactions, feelings, hopes and dreams. Will came to terms with his sexuality and learned to accept himself for what he was and not what others viewed him as. Simon had to relinquish a little control and lean on the two strong men around him. Adam had to become the glue that held all three of them together. We see into the hearts of these men making this story more of a heart touching romance than just a ménage storyline. ( )

Loved it! It seems the only comment I'm able to make concerning N.R. Walker's books. ( )

Super hot, but also amazingly sweet. These three guys were wonderful together. I liked how there was little angst to the story and just focused on them making their relationship work without having to worry about a lot of issues keeping them apart. It was just what I needed today. ( )

It's not a major secret that three-way relationships are difficult. In fact, they are usually called love triangles and involve lots of jealousy, heartbreak, and no happy endings. A variation is the temporary threesome, entered into for fun and variety, and even that carries enough risks for most people to stay away.

Wil, a successful chef in Alabama, has just had a catastrophic breakup and needs some downtime. He'd planned to go to Florida with his lover, but instead ends up going alone. Meeting two gorgeous men who are interested in him is just what he needs and, though shy, he is ready for some physical relief. The problems start when he thinks there may be more – and feels like he's breaking up a couple. His thoughts and feelings are very real, but they are also tinged by what society has taught him is acceptable – which is based on what seems to work for most people: coupledom. His struggle with those preconceptions versus his own, very real feelings, was fascinating.

Simon and Adam are very much in love, and when they find they're both attracted to Wil, they act on their lustful feelings. It is a good thing they talk to each other, because the situation has the potential to develop into a real catastrophe for all of them. I loved watching the different roles they played in the developing and evolving situation with Wil, and both are great guys in their own right. Just fairly different.

In fact, I think that is one of the strengths of this book. It shows how different personalities can work together very effectively if there is the required underlying love and trust. It also shows why some couples might work better as permanent threesomes: if each partner has something unique to contribute, the triangle is in balance. In fact, in this case, it is almost as if Adam and Simon needed a third partner to unfold the full potential of their love. Very well designed and written believably by N.R. Walker.

If you like reading about threesomes that are about more than "just some fun" in the bedroom, and work in the real world as well, if you enjoy stories about characters who find their way in complicated relationships, and if you're looking for a thoughtfully written book in a gorgeous holiday setting, then you will probably like this short novel.
