From loner to lover
Shane, X and Preston drew me in and wouldn’t let me go until all was right with their world, able to settle into their new relationship with the threat no longer there. Each man brought something to the throuple that together filled a need and made them a family, caring for and protecting each other while letting their walls down in their own little world. I could picture X and Shane as a protective bubble around Preston, shielding him and doing what they could to make his world safe, and in return he was the catalyst for these two damaged men to find love without reservation, giving them a sense of belonging and being wanted after years of being alone. I loved the way these two violent men could soften around Preston, letting go of the masks they wore to face the world, all because of this kind, open, loving man with so much to give to those he loved.
The story has suspense, a mystery, and echoes from the past that bled into the present. I was surprised by who the stalker was, the connection to why he was there, but not surprised by the outcome. Threatening possessive men is not an intelligent move.
The book held my interest, the characters had me engaged in the handling of the threat and in the development of their relationship, and I liked the way the dynamic between X and Shane unfolded.
(Make sure you check out the bonus scene mentioned at the end of the book. So good.).
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
