Review- 3.5 Stars[...]This book is a bit hard for me to review because I absolutely loved the first half. The hurt feelings between Dion and Jeremy work beautifully, as does Chad's abuse and how Jeremy feels taking care of him. I was looking forward to a book full of the three men trying to deal with how to get through cheating and forgiveness. I was excited to see how these characters would take a problem like infidelity, especially with a student, and turn it into a romance. Not only does Dion have feelings for Chad but then Jeremy starts to see what Dion saw in him as well. Add onto that Chad's feelings of guilt for what he did to Dion and I wanted so much more dedicated to that dynamic. There was angst, there was drama, there were hurt feelings and there were uncomfortable looks while two men tried to figure out their lives in the wake of cheating and one man just tried to live. The first half is easily 5 stars for me.But then something went wrong. And instead of that guilt driven plot it turned into something else, something I didn't love as much. If the first half had stayed the same and the second had been extended to be another 50k then this book would have been one of the best that I've read not only dealing with cheating but also with adding a third member into the dynamic. I can't say anything without giving away spoilers but the wrap up was just a bit too neat for me. I'm not saying that this book isn't worth a read, because it absolutely is, but I think it could have been better with a bit more meat in the center and a bit less perfection. Overall, a good job. Its not perfect but it does work and I like the author's writing style enough to pick up more of their work in the future.
