I was given a free copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review.More like 3.5 starsI'm not sure where to begin or even how to explain how I felt about this book. For me it was a very interesting and sometimes hard read and I'm glad I read this book. If you have issues with cheating or abuse this might not be for you.I felt torn a lot reading this book between feeling sorry for Chad to not really liking Chad. Chad is a very broken young man, who in my opinion is looking for a reason just to wake up everyday. For a while that reason was Dion, his teacher, until Dion put an end to their short affair. I also had mixed feeling about Jeremy. I understood his hurt but I also feel like if it hurt that much why stay and "punish" the other person and yourself?This story is a very unique approach to ménage; dealing with a cheating partner and a very troubled young man. I'm glad the ménage didn't happen super quick or all lusty. It was a slow build with Jeremy dealing with his own hurt and seeing the guilt that not only Dion had but also Chad. And Chad self-esteem growing just a little bit.Since the story is only told from Chad's and Jeremy's POV Dion (for me) comes across as a prop/focal point for the two men. And for the most part that works because everything starts with both their love for Dion and wanting him happy and in love. Chad and Jeremy grow to trust, like, and eventually care a great deal for each other.There were some things I wanted to more about but then I saw this is part of a series hopefully those other stories will provide what I felt I was missing. With that said I didn't feel lost or if anything was missing from the story to keep it from being complete.
