5.0
It didn't take much for me to love Drew, Bas, and Ezra separately, and when the three of them came together I thought my heart was going to explode with happiness. On the surface, it might seem strange how these men with totally different careers and lifestyles could fit together so well, but Ezra, Bas, and Drew slotted into place like the missing pieces of a puzzle. Just because I could see how wonderful the three of them were together didn't mean that these men made it easy on themselves--like in any relationship, they had to put in the hard work and energy to make their connection grow.
Though Drew and Bas did have a lot of shared history, I never felt like Ezra was a third wheel to their relationship. If anything, Drew and Bas seemed to have more difficulty adjusting to the change in their relationship after so many years of keeping their feelings locked away. Ezra's presence seemed to balance out the jagged edges of the other two men, and I genuinely don't think their relationship would have worked out unless it was all three of them together. I was initially worried that Bas's asexuality would turn into a big deal when it came to the physical side of their romance, but this author did a great job exploring the difference between emotional and physical intimacy. I never once felt like Bas was "less involved" because he wasn't interested in sex, and as someone who identifies as greysexual it was amazing to see more representation in this story.
While the focus of this story was undoubtedly on the growing emotional connection between Bas, Ezra, and Drew, I really enjoyed the overall storyline as well. Seeing Ezra go from homeless and struggling to living in a secure household with clear goals for himself was incredibly motivating. Drew and Bas's storylines were less clear cut, but I was thrilled to see them conquer the demons from their past and come to terms with their more difficult emotions. All three of these men had to learn how to lean on each other and give support when it was needed, and though it certainly wasn't easy for them to get there, that lovely epilogue was proof that the bond they built could and would last a lifetime.
