Four Letter Word by K.M. Neuhold

4.0

Really good, educational, and sexy. This was my first read featuring 4 people in a relationship. Riot, our polyamorous guru/protagonist, explained all these new terms and lifestyles to us (the reader) in simple and sexy ways. I was mostly impressed with how much personality and sweet moments Neuhold was able to give us with 4 different protagonists who interact with each other in 4 different ways.

Bishop has been in love with his two best friends since puberty. But his besties hate each other and even if he has occasional sex with one of them he feels unworthy for plot reasons and doesn't want to get his heartbroken by entering a romantic relationship. So he keeps strictly in the fuck-buddy territory as unhappy as it makes him. Everything changes when he hooks up with Riot. This purple haired bartender introduces Bishop to the polyamorous scene and points out that his best buddies are totally in love with him. Bishop's springtime of love blossoms all at once in a crazy frenzy of outrageous lovey-doviness. I'm legit jealous of this fictional character for charming the pants off three different guys at once. Riot might have been the teacher of love at the start of things, but truly Bishop has become the master.
