This was a bit long, but I get that it needs to be longer to avoid insta-love. I liked that this was a HEA in one novel and that it wasn't prolonged through multiple books.

Pucking Around a été une véritable révélation pour moi. Enfin une romance why choose où la relation polyamoureuse est traitée avec sérieux, respect et, surtout, communication ! Pas de malentendus absurdes ou de drames tirés par les cheveux ici : on a une dynamique à quatre (trois hommes et une femme) qui repose sur l’écoute, le consentement et la maturité.

Et ce qui fait aussi la richesse du roman, c’est qu’il ne se limite pas à des relations M/F : il y a aussi des relations M/M pleinement développées et représentées avec justesse. Un vrai bonus dans un genre où c’est encore trop rare.

Malgré ses 900 pages, le roman se lit avec une fluidité étonnante. Oui, il y a beaucoup de smut – et il est très bien écrit – mais ce n’est jamais au détriment de la profondeur émotionnelle ou de l’évolution des personnages. Emily Rath réussit à rendre cette relation crédible, saine et authentique, bien plus réaliste que dans bon nombre de romances contemporaines plus classiques.

Je recommande chaudement cette lecture, mais pas à tout le monde : c’est une romance mature, aussi bien sur le plan émotionnel que sexuel. Si vous aimez les histoires d’amour complexes, ouvertes et bien construites, Pucking Around pourrait bien être votre prochaine obsession.

Excessive smut. Not for me

medium-paced

I read this knowing it was literally just smut but I was getting fomo so had to see for myself. I liked the Bi awakening story line and found family aspect but felt the conflicts were very repetitive and as for someone that works in healthcare - Rachel would be torn to shreds, license revoked and gone to court most probably if this happened in real life, incredibly reckless for a character that's meant to be super smart and media/ medically trained to not see how this could affect not only her, her family but also the 3 men who have worked their entire lives for their careers so for me I couldn't suspend my belief when it inevitably had a happy ending but if you want a fluffy palette cleanser or like me, felt left out go for it
