OMG, I loved this. I wanted to slap Gillibran most of the time, but he was also so lost and his inner pains felt so real that I couldn't resist him. I liked the menage. The three men are ten years apart, Gilli in his 20s, Dick in his 30s and Shane in his 40s. The age difference reflects also the difference in their upbringing and what they could or couldn't tolerate. Shane is the uber-Daddy, very strict and apparently unmovable, and Gilli is always, always pushing him against every logical reason. Dick is the hornier, but also the more tender-hearted, easy to forgive, probably because he is also closer to Gilli. Gilli is a brat. He can't resist his swinging moods, he lets his jealousy govern him and it seems he doesn't want to learn from his mistakes. The jealousy is understandable, because Shane and Dick had been together for almost ten years before Gilli became part of their household, so Gilli is always looking for confirmation of being a part of them and he gets plenty of confirmation through the many spankings he earns because of his attitude.Usually I'm exhausted by this type of characters, but Gilli is so transparent, so funny, that like Shane and Dick, I forgave him everything. He also has a tendency of wandering in his thoughts and I must confess that sometimes I felt I was preached on, but there's an entertaining lightness in the whole book, even when it scratches very painful feelings, without never going deep into them. It's as if Gilli, for all his openness and sincerity, keeps his intimate core very close and unreachable, to his daddies and to the reader too.Some editing issues drove me mad, especially alter for altar.Recommended, but be patient with the houseboy!
