Open Relationship/Strangers to lovers

Really good poly, open relationship, triad representation. I enjoyed the dynamics between the three main characters. Personality wise, I liked both MMC personalities and back stories. All three characters were well written and despite my annoyance at the FMC at times, she was enjoyable overall. Her backstory was actually informative and interesting. The story on its own is delightful and spicy. Just a interesting tale of love and hope for all types of relationships. 
FMC's personality wasn't my favorite, a little too in her head and a bit too angsty and back and forth with her emotions. While I understand where she's coming from and why she feels and acts the way she does, it annoyed me anyway. 

I listened on audio,  great narration for all three voices. wish it was dueted though. Male voices got confusing during scenes with them all together.

Esse livro em entregou o que prometeram, principalmente na questão do hot. Eu gostei bastante te acompanhar esse trisal navegando seus sentimentos e o início desse relacionamento não convencional.

Entretanto, apesar de entender de onde ela estava vindo, a Mariana me tirou do sério algumas vezes. 
O Mason eu já conhecia e gostava do livro anterior, mas o Daniel ganhou meu coração. Inclusive, queria ter tido mais esclarecimentos de como a vida profissional dele seguiu após o pedido de demissão. Inclusive, o padrasto dele merece tudo o que há de pior na Terra, mas a mãe dele não ter defendido o filho uma única vez durante todo o livro... ela conseguiu me irritar mais!

They were able to foster a tremendous amount of growth in a relatively short book. Especially since this book contains three main characters who are entering a polyamorous relationship together. This book delved deeply in exploring polyamory and the dynamics within a triad. Kink was also taken head on. The two male MCs have experience with kink, specifically dom/sub, while the female MC has not explored kink or bdsm. There were parts of the book that felt more informational than conversational, which lead to those parts dragging. They explored a lot of different types of spice. The huge strength throughout the whole book was the level of communication between the characters, including learning how to communicate effectively to each other.
