I do not hand out 5-star ratings often, but I believe this book deserves that, and more.  This is the second book in the "Crossing the Line" series, and if you have not read the first book entitled "Playing the Game," I strongly suggest you read that one first.  You need to understand the background of the main characters and how they began their relationship.  (It is also available on Amazon.)  I stumbled onto this author by accident.  But after downloading that first book onto my Kindle, I quickly became a fan....and I anxiously awaited publication of this second book.  M Q. Barber draws you into the lives of her main characters Henry, Jay, and Alice as they stumble through their growing physical as well as emotional attachment to each other.  In the first book, Alice meets Jay and Henry on the day she moves into her small studio apt in Boston.  They invite her to dinner, and watching the way these two guys interact with each other, it becomes obvious to Alice that they are gay. Both men are good-looking and she is attracted to them as well...but she knows nothing could come of that.  After almost a year of being her friendly neighbors , they invite her to dinner one evening and surprise her by telling her that they are bi-sexual and would be very interested in having a relationship that would include her. It turns out that Henry is a Dominant and Jay is his submissive.  Alice has to decide if she would be willing to be Henry's submissive as well.  Book Two picks up where Book One leaves off.  There is some minor BDSM involved in this story, but it is handled with taste, and the safety and well being of Alice and Jay are always Henry's prime concern.  I thoroughly enjoyed watching the loving relationship develop between these three people, and couldn't wait for them to realize what was happening as well.  If you enjoy reading about unconventional love, and if the characters in "50 Shades of Gray" drew you in, then I think you will enjoy these stories as much as I did.  I highly recommend them, starting with the first book.  I would have paid twice the amount gladly.  Well worth the price.
