If you are a big fan of the Voyeurism kink, then this book is a wet dream for you! I have to give this story points for its uniqueness. I have never read a book where a lover, "scenes" with their partner, through a surrogate lover.

There is not a great deal of plot in this story. However, if you are looking for an easy read, that is spice heavy and love BDSM with a touch of Poly, this is great! Really, the plot centers around the spice and the exploration of BDSM.

I found the characters likable. I also really appreciated that Clay is not only an architect as a career, but as stated in the story, he is truly the architect of the relationship between himself, Lilith, and Travis.

I was originally going to give this story a 3.75 or 4. However, I came close to DNF'n this book. I really HATE cheating IRL and in my fiction. I know that Clay does not blame Lilith or Travis for what happens, but what they did was cheating. This really put a damper on the story for me
unfortunately.

Also, just as an added pet peeve. DVP with no lube... SPIT is not LUBE. This drives me crazy. Safe sex includes proper prep.

I thought the narration was excellent on this one! It is told in Duel narration.
