Offside is a compelling and entertaining erotic read and a nice addition to the Dartmouth Cobra series.Bianca Sommerland, with her powerful storytelling voice, does a masterful job of creating another complex and meaningful threesome between Becky, Zach, and Scott. Sommerland's female protagonist, Becky Bower, a single mother with a successful career, has put her own needs on the back burner long enough. Zach Pearce, a Dom, is drawn to Becky's natural submissiveness, but he is also attracted to Scott Demyan. Scott, who is also attracted to Becky and Zach, is dealing with his own personal issues and trying to straighten out his own life. Sommerland realistically portrays Becky's fears of having not only one man her life, but two, and how this type of relationship will affect her daughter, Casey. While the sexual chemistry between Becky and Zach and the romantic tension between Becky and Scott keep the pages turning, it's their communication issues that drive the plot forward. Sommerland realistically portrays complicated feelings, overreactions, and misunderstandings that arise when being totally honest with each other. When Becky, Zach, and Scott finally get all of their issues straightened out, their first threesome scene is sizzling hot and quite unique.Sommerland's balance of multiple storylines in previous novels worked well, but Offside just isn't as cohesive as those novels.  While it was refreshing to see where Silver and Oriana were in their relationships, I felt the storyline with Dominik and Akira was misplaced in this story.Offside merges erotic overtones and memorable characters drive this story to a gratifying and romantic conclusion.I received an eBook copy from the author for purpose of an honest review for The Jeep Diva. I was not compensated for this review, and all conclusions are my own responsibility.
