Oh boy is Brian testing the patience of both Paul and Jim. And then Scott is acting up when he's out on a job. What in the world are two tops supposed to do? Relationships are hard, and one that involves more than two people can be extremely difficult. Factor in that two of the people living in the house can be gone for weeks at a time with their jobs and the potential for implosion skyrockets. I was really happy to get back to my guys in this second installment if AM Riley's 'Goldilocks' series.Brian is a submissive and knows it. He needs Paul to anchor him, to ground him, and when Paul is gone, Brian slowly begins to fall apart. Scott, on the other hand, doesn't realize that he needs the structure and discipline from Jim, much the same way Brian needs it from Paul. Scott gets so anxious within his own skin that he does stupid things, i.e., getting in a fight and landing in jail. Scott has to get to this realization in his own way and accept that this is what he needs before he and Jim can really be happy. What makes Paul and Jim's lives doubly hard is that when Brian and Scott are near each other they are, to use Jim's phrase, "Brats on crack." *grins*So, you have four men, two tops, a sometime submissive, and a bratty bottom submissive, and you throw them all into a polyamorous relationship. Then, you mix it all up with insecurities and a little, not lying exactly, but avoiding telling the truth, and what do you have? A serious recipe for potential disaster. And, when Brian agrees to a six-month internship with a company in New York…well, I think the miscommunications and misunderstandings could completely explode if these guys didn't truly love one another. Scott bringing home a stray from one of his runs doesn't help anything either, and I'm not talking about a dog.This was a great sequel to the first book. 'A Man, a Jersey, and a Tight End' really explored each of the men and how they all fit together into the relationship they have. It dealt with all of the ups and downs, the serious level of trust that was required, and, at the end of the day, the love these men have for each other. I would really like to see another story because I know the "brats" aren't done causing trouble yet.
