radiansreads's review against another edition

Good Lord, that was so hot! Hotter Than Ever is just the kind of romance book I love and then some.
So, okay, I admit to not reading the first eight books in the series and maybe it's just me, but you don't really need them to actually get this story. Everything is well-written (very well indeed) and most are pretty self-explanatory. It's got a nicely laid-out plot, backed with delicious characters that just make it hard to keep calm in your seat.(I swear I was squirming throughout the whole book)
I also admit to having an obsession when it comes to books that contains Ménage a trois and everything in between. In fact reading this kind of book is a guilty pleasure of mine. Although all the books I've read before only have m/m and m/f/m, so this was both a new experience and a familiar one.
All in all, a definite gem of a book that leaves the readers craving for more. 5 solid stars!
Now all I have to do is go back to the first book in the series and go through it all again because I can. LOL

After Dylan’s brother leaves her at the altar she goes to stay with him and his roommate, Aidan.
This book was the spice level up I needed. A throuple written by Elle Kennedy. I have read spicier books but the way EK does it is *exactly* how I like it. I prefer throuples or reverse harems where the men are together too. I want everyone swapping fluids. Plus I enjoy the way she writes guy groups. It reminds me of the dumb conversations I get into with my friends. Just like the rest of the series you aren’t getting much plot wise but that’s not really why I read it in the first place.
Overall book ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Un libro ligero, steaming, no para todos, pero cumplió su propósito me hizo reír.

This is the first Menage relationship that I've read about that hasn't been pure smut. *Gasp* (maybe/idk?) Not sure if that's the best way to start out this review but it was my first thought so what can ya do?
Clair and Dylan pretty much hate each other, but after the DICK move that his older brother has just pulled by pulling a runner ten minutes before his wedding ceremony with Clair and leaving Dylan to let the bride-to-be know!? Yeah, Dylan is ready to put his personal feelings about Clair aside for a short while seeing as his brother has just made it to the top of his Shit List.
Dylan takes Clair back to his Apartment in San Diego so she can come to terms with what has just happened without being bombarded by well meaning friends and family. Enter Dylan's roommate/not quite boyfriend Aidan. Aidan and Dylan are in a relationship but while they care for each other something just never quite fully clicks and they still end up having flings with women(usually together). When Aidan see's Clair he is immediately attracted to her, and as they get to know one another he find's himself at a loss as to why Clair and Dylan can't seem to get along. So what's a guy to do but lock them in a room and force them to work out there issues. Issues that turn out to be complete misunderstandings perpetuated by Dylan's brother.
Once their problems are out of the way Dylan finds it near impossible to ignore the attraction that he has always felt for Clair but held back due to their mutual dislike and her being his brothers fiance. Clair too is struggling with the attraction that she feels towards both men, the problem however is that they come as a package deal and Clair isn't sure that she would ever be ok with Dating two men or how it could even work out.
Dylan and Aidan like any true gentlemen hold back and do their best not to pressure her into a situation she would be uncomfortable in. But no pressure doesn't mean that they have given up. Eventually they manage to break down her walls and the Three enter into what becomes a strong and solid relationship.
The hardships are not over at this point however. Dylan's brother proves to be an A**Hole to the highest degree and manages to through more than one wrench into what is easily becoming a happy new life for Clair. Also Aidan's father drops some news on him that shakes his world, and not in a good way.
I loved how the relation ship just worked, it wasn't forced or strained by one person being the leader but rather an equal balance in role's. Dylan and Aidan are both incredibly strong Alpha males but they also have their own soft and vulnerable sides. And like Aidan is able to buffer Clair and Dylan, Clair is also able to bring perspective to Dylan and Aidan.
An unexpected wonderful read, 5 Stars!

I have to say, I was not expecting the polyamorous relationship to work, but man this book tugged on my heartstrings!
