Loved this book! A circle of three men who cannot find love on their own, but together find the greatest love of their lives. Drew and Bas are stuck in an endless circle of not being enough for each other, until they meet Ezra. Together they work through the challenges that come with their unique relationship, and they build something strong enough to last. A beautiful story that had me melting inside with every hug, kiss, and I love you.
This was a great read. It's more like a 4.5 but trying to understand the dynamics of what Bas and Drew were to one another in the beginning was confusing and hard. It wasn't until Ezra became a more permanent entity in their lives did everything start to fall into place and perhaps that was out of design but it didn't quite work well for me. Once Ezra was there there, both Drew and Bas would open up with him about things they dared not open up to one another about. Things that were left unsaid for like 20 years. Love is love and this story not only challenges you to accept love between two men but then between three men. (Drew's family is uber conservative and just now started accepting him as a gay man when he then brings up his in a poly relationship). Love is love and sometimes you have to hold on to that love when there is nothing else and trust that it will all be alright in the end.

This was the last book I had to finish by this author to be caught up, and it was a bit of a departure from their other stuff. I did really enjoy it, and think the ace rep was pretty good; however, the third person omniscient-ish style occasionally threw me. But I always imagine MMM is hard to figure out the best way to write it. Too many first person POVs can be confusing or overwhelming, and so I didn't mind this choice, apart from the few moments where it had to break a bit to convey something.
It was inevitable that I would love this book. Briar is an incredible writer, and this story was beautiful.
Drew and Bas are best friends who have been circling the fact they love each other. A mix of believing they don’t deserve their love and worried their feelings won’t be reciprocated.
Enter Ezra, a young man who’s struggling, but damn I love how relentless he is in not giving up. But it also leaves him with trust issues. And believing Drew and Bas could be real definitely requires trust.
I loved the journey this union took. It felt organic and natural. I enjoy a story with push and pull, and that was especially true with three men trying to find their way together.
Oh, the epilogue…pretty special!
PS. if you love audiobooks, this one is narrated by none other than John Solo. His sexy voice and style lent well to this story.
This was a beautiful poly story and really well executed by Briar Prescott. Goodness, I love the way Briar writes.
There were some parts of the story that are not exactly to my reading taste, but the way they're written in this book made me not mind them as much.
I have to hand it to Briar Prescott - for her to be able to write something with multiple things I normally don't like, but to make it so that I love the story overall shows great skill.

MMM tropes are hard to ensure all 3 people have an equal emotional connection but Briar Prescott has succeeded! Drew and Bas were so in love and had so much history but they could not truly be comfortable as a couple or communicate effectively without adding Ezra in to the mix. Thi si snot a steamy book so if that is what you are expecting, this is not the book for you but if you are looking for a real emotional connection, you are in the right place.
