Review: The Boys Back Home
Rating: 4 out of 5

M/M/F (2 bisexual males/1 straight female) usually doesn't work well for me for a multitude of reasons, and the love scenes usually make me roll my eyes. They tend to be purple and overdone. Not so in this book! The sex in this book curled my toes. I had to actually catch my breath after the first scene between Cassie and Kyle. Whew. And the heat never lets up! Every encounter in this book is a scorcher.The menage situation in this book is surprisingly believable. Cassie's attraction to both of her best friends and her heartbreak at discovering them together is sweet and realistic. Her reasons for leaving town make perfect sense. Even Kyle and Alan's reason for looking to each other for affection works pretty well. The story isn't perfect, but I found it much more believable than most M/M/F I've encountered.This book was on track to be an A+ read--and then the author pulled out the oldest menage cliché in the book. No spoilers here, but it's one of those "love it or hate it" issues and I'm in the latter camp.If I were to ever read this again, I'd stop after the last big love scene and skip the ending. All in all, a B- read. -9/22/08
