This is hands down my favorite of the series. We still have the insta-love that we’ve had in the last two books but the arc of the series is finally getting some traction. This is definitely not a standalone so go back to books 1 and 2 if you haven’t read them yet.

I love Blake. He seemed really aloof in the last two books but now that we see him open up he’s a really great guy. His history is a bit heartbreaking but I love that he’s doing something to help similar victims. He has a great relationship with his brothers. He shows extreme patience with Aaron.

While I understand more where Aaron is coming from I’m still not 100% sure I like him. I don’t dislike him as much but he’s not my favorite character. He finally gets some traction on his self-discovery and growth. I have hope that he and Josh can mend their relationship before the end of the series.

The arc story surrounding Indy comes to a head in this one. There are still a few loose ends and a couple of questions I have but we mostly have a resolution. It is very predictable at times but I was surprised by a couple of things. And yes, everything works out exactly as it should which is hard for some folks to enjoy but I liked it.

We get a lot of Noah, Indy, Josh and Connor in this one and each of them have moments of greatness.

I’m absolutely looking forward to the next book…I am intrigued by Miles and Brad and hope Charlie gets some happiness after all he’s been through!
adventurous tense fast-paced

Definitely the best one yet, the plotting has been tightened up considerably and the narrative is about more than just the sexual relationships of the characters.

Here we get a new couple, Josh's estranged brother Aaron and Indy's jujitsu trainer Blake and it's a little bit kinky but without ever really tripping over into full on puppy play.

The best thing about this book though is the vast movement on the main story arc which has been running through the series - Indy's vicious ex and his Boston mobster threat.

Without spoiling anything, I absolutely loved the twists and the way the situation was handled here and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens now.

The romance element of this one with Aaron and Blake actually worked surprisingly well given it wasn't really the main focus. I liked seeing Aaron's sexual awakening and it was handled with consideration and skill.

Now roll on book four and what is already setting up to be an intriguing poly relationship.

I really enjoyed this one after being slightly let down but the second. I wanted more Blake/Aaron though. I know the series is really about Indy, Noah, Josh and Connor, but I felt the start of this book was good then it turned into more about Indy and the rest of the boys. I wouldn't be mad if there was a Blake/Aaron spin off. ;)
