Review: Best Menage I've Ever Read
Rating: 4 out of 5

As others have said, I'm usually not a fan of menages because one person always seems to get the short end of the stick (no pun intended) but this one is just perfect. There is NEVER and I do mean never, ever a doubt in the reader's mind that Richard, Matthew and Luke love each other equally, and are each an integral part of the relationship.  This story sizzles from page 1 and their relationship takes on a very well paced, realistic trajectory.  Even though Luke has trust issues I found him very likeable and though the story is told in first person the author covers enough of the other characters that we're never left wondering what's going on in their heads. Each character has a distinct voice and personality.  I adored Richard, the strong protective alpha as well as Matthew, the one who kept them all young and grounded. Pacing is good. Sex is hot.I gave the book 4 stars because even though the menage aspect of the book is done to perfection, I found the rest of the book just seemed a little too...long. The story could have been tighter. Because we're working with three characters each dealing with their own issues, and then tons of sex thrown in, the main storyline involving Luke's father took too long to unfold. I kept eyeing the pages like 'when are we going to get to it?' Because of that, by the time the truth started to come out, I found I didn't much care. Also, as someone else said, Luke's father was just an over-the-top villian...which might have worked, if the storyline hadn't taken forever. By the time his mother showed up to make ammends, I had had enough and skipped the pages about her.  I just didn't care and found her weak and deplorable.This isn't a book I was able to read in one sitting because it meandered so much that I had to take breaks from it, but it is one I will read again someday, if only because the menage itself is done so extremely well.
