Review: But is it real?
Rating: 4 out of 5

All three characters are very well drawn, with their own distinct voices and emotions. Sebastian is especially sympathetic, a 21-year-old, who is on his way to a serious future but still fan-boy enough to crush on an actor and to find 'rational' reasons for deciding to spend a night with him and his partner. And, though in a different way than we perhaps expect, he's also the one who pays the biggest price for getting involved, when rumors of the threesome begin to leak out.In the end, though, I wasn't really convinced that there was any depth to the commitment of the three to the three-man unit. Beyond a lot of steamy and fun sex, Aedin doesn't show us a lot of interaction as a threesome; most of the important stuff or conversations seem to happen between two, with the third either simply observing or completely absent. The emphasis was more on games than love (other than the love between Adam and Keith, which is quite tangible).The ending of "Lovegames" is more of an introduction to a relationship that might (or might not) lead to a HEA than an HEA in and of itself. I'd love the opportunity to revisit these guys a year or two down the line, see how it all worked out for them.
