Review: I didn't think I'd like a MMM tale. MM , yes, but this was off the scale in terms of the heat.
Rating: 5 out of 5

It takes skill to make a MMM tale a 5* one, and I don't give 5* reviews lightly, but this opened my mind, blew it away and left me wanting mor of the leads. So much more that I had to nose at the author's website where I found that her new Phoenix Inc series, out in late 2014, is a spin-off of this tale, set in the PI world that the leads have gone into, and that we'll see more of these guys. Yes, we got a whole tale about them, but their HEA was only just starting as this tale ended, so it left me wanting more, and I'm so glad I will be.I won't summarise the tale, but I was willing to suspend disbelief a little that so many Alpha-types could all be gay, and their friends and allies too, all of them 'real' men, not a twink between them, as the author made the tale - and them - work. I loved the dynamics between them and the openness that they were forced to realise was needed if they were going to be able to let their pasts go and build a life together. I loved how the author tried to equalise all parts of the triad, and that scene with the chair and all three of them? Is SEJ sure that that's allowed in a (sort of, I suppose) mainstream tale? It was incredibly well done and incredible sexy, but at the same time, eye-watering.The only disappointment that I have is that Styx didn't allow himself to cede control to both Paulo and Law, not yet, which for me would have been the icing on the cake. And that's why I need to read more about these guys. The relationship is honest and open, and yes, I do believe that they've all come to love each other and be in love with each other, but Styx needs to learn to be able to give them his total trust, just that little bit more, to make things totally equal.Still, that didn't spoil the tale for me, and it's a 5* Keeper.Ebook courtesy of Samhain Publishing, in exchange for an honest review.
