Review: Honest & sexy, but needed more
Rating: 3 out of 5

This book started out very promising with three friends reconnecting after 10 years apart, but time changes everyone... or has it really? Some deception and manipulation leads to some issues for these three, but I liked the clear communication the author was stressing with the complex relationship these characters were trying to have. They approached it very honestly with real issues, but at times it felt like it was almost too much. Liam and Kat were a bit too willing to uproot their lives (although Liam eventually has some issues), and Hunter was completely uncompromising with his life to include them in it. It felt like he was trying to talk them out of it at every turn to the point where I didn't even think he wanted them for anything beyond sex. Although he was stating real potential issues for the future, it just felt like he had no give whatsoever to include them in his life and I didn't see that working out for the three of them in the long run. Now the heat between the characters was good, but I have to say that it just always seemed so rushed. We get these intense feelings all being drawn out into the open and they engage in plenty of sex, but I didn't feel any real emotion in the act. Just as the relationship starts to form, we just get a drop off type of ending leaving details lingering on how things work out. I realize things won't be resolved overnight and that they have a long road ahead, but it just made the story feel incomplete for me. I have to say that overall the book had some good points leaving me wanting more, but unfortunately not in a good way.*I received a review copy of this from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review*
