3.5 Stars rounded upI found this book a gentle and romantic MMM story that was not all about the sex.  So if you like your MMM less about three bodies working together and three people coming together in a relationship you may like this story.I liked this story just fine  BUT I had a couple of issues with it that ultimately made me give it a lower rating that would have.  Just a quick recap of the story.  The story is told from all three MCs POV at different points in time, although Charlie (Chase) serves as the narrator.  The story starts with Charlie being 15-16 yo. and meeting Scott who moves in next door and becomes his first love.  Charlie and Scott are together for what's probably about 4 years until Scott moves to Las Vegas and leaves Charlie behind.  Then about 5 years pass until Charlie (then going by Chase) meets Adan.  Adan's and Charlie's bit is told by both Adan and Charlie.  These two date for what's almost a year.  Then 10 years or so pass until all three meet again.  The last third of the story is told by Charlie and Scott.OK. so what I didn't like about this story happened on that last second third or when the MMM begins (the next bit is spoilerish so be warned!):****First, I found utter crap one of the reasons why Adan and Scott decide to go for Charlie and that is because they are both tops and they "need" a bottom.  Sure, Adan and Scott love each other and have been together for five years but their "problem" is that they are not 100% compatible in the bedroom because they are both tops.  So what does that mean? are they both settling?  Call me crazy but dissatisfaction in the bedroom is a sure way to head to splitsville.  Whatever, the guys have hung in there for five years and now Charlie can fill that void, neat huh?  Well, not really in my book.  There is honestly so much more about Charlie that just his hole, so the fact that needing a bottom features so predominantly as a reason for them to pursue Charlie rubs me the wrong way!Also, I was not brimming with joy about the way they come together again.  It is by total chance!  Yet Adan and Scott are both SO happy to see Charlie again and immediately want him back YET in ten years they never thought to seek him out?  I am mostly more appalled that Scott never made a move to do this.  After all he was friends with his sister for all those years so he had the connection to get in touch with him.  At least when Adan and Charlie split Charlie disappeared from Adan's life not leaving Adan a way to find him.  In the end Adan who treated him the worst is the one who seems more worthy of him.  I get that for 5 of those years Scott had Adan but if he had loved Charlie for all of those years he should have been more proactive in seeking him out and at least knowing he was OK.  Instead at the end of 15 years we have Scott and Adan leading a "happy" life whereas Charlie (who was always sweet and worthy of happiness) has become a bitter men.  That's just not right.Finally, and I understand that this was to create a dramatic effect, if Scott and his sister were friends he would have been at the funeral which means he would have seen Scott before he actually does.BUT, in the end this book may be a great way for those who normally hate MMM stories to read a romantic one that ends in a HEA.
