If you can stomach the low-grade macho bullshit that runs through these kinds of books, you will be rewarded by an honest attempt at a three-way romance! We love to see a man get over his internalised homophobia to fuck his best friend. There are things to make you cringe in this book, but the tender treatment of exploring repressed feelings with people you trust is not one of them.
The woman is mostly here to facilitate but she gets as much personality as the other two and the plot would have ground to a homophobic halt without her so can't complain. That said, I could only mildly care about one side of this triangle and it was not her or her husband. A sweet, indulgent read.

Moderate: Homophobia and Misogyny
The homophobia is acknowledged and worked through, the misogyny is just a low-grade current, nothing especially obtuse.readingwithkaitlyn's review
