The partners all bring different strengths to the table, and different needs in each man are fulfilled by each of his different partners.- I like how forward the established triad are: they decide that they want Jason, and they’re not at all shy about letting him know it.- The sex has a good bit of variety. We see different combinations of partners; different configurations; some vanilla, some kinky; some rough, some sweet.CONS:- The downside to Michael’s minimalist writing style is that he rarely provides the background details I want to see. We’re thrown into stories like this right in the middle, with part of the relationship already solid, and we never get to see how those connections formed. I really wanted to know how Bishop, Knight, and Rook had wound up together before Jason came along.- There are stretches of dialogue throughout that don’t contain any speech tags, so you’ll have a quote but no indication as to which one of the guys said it. With four guys, it can be a bit of a challenge puzzling that out.Overall comments: This story is about 80% sex. (In fact, that may be a bit conservative.) I was looking for something really heavy on erotica, so it worked for me, but you should look elsewhere if you want an involved plot or a lot of in-depth conversation.
