Synopsis
Matthew My brother and sister found their calling and people to share it with for the rest of their lives. Our parents haven’t said a thing, but I can read it on their faces. What are you doing with your life, Matthew? I’ve always been a songwriter but can no longer find the words. Everyone around me thinks I’m where I am in life because of my parents. I’m at a crossroads in my life and I don’t know which way to turn. I don’t define my sexuality, I do what feels right. Love? Well, that is one melody I have yet to find the right notes to. Until them… Thea My childhood glittered with the lights of Hollywood while my adult life has been filled with the darkness of my ghosts and addictions. But all that is behind me and I am working on spinning the pain of my past into the promise of my future. Love? Well, that’s one addiction I have not yet dared to fool with. Until them… Tristan I’m running from a life where my future was decided for me. What to wear. Which company to manage. Who to marry. One day, I snapped, and I haven’t been back since. Now I manage my own businesses and I am who I want to be. But behind closed doors, I am still alone and I still long for things that I’ve been taught to hate. Love? Well, that’s one merger I’ve never braved. Until them… Warning: This book contains two sexy hunks and is not recommended for the faint of heart. This is a long, thought-provoking read which will work through the angst of finding love amidst past hurts and the pain associated with not belonging, not fitting in.Goodreads
"This can turn f***ing ugly, or become the
most beautiful love in the history of the world."
Today's society is so focused on labels - gay, straight, bisexual. Are we as humans all supposed to love one person for the rest of our lives or is it possible to be in love with 2 people at the same time; mind, body and soul? What do any of these labels have to with who we are as human beings? Are we good, kind, compassionate..isn't that more important? Isn't it more important that we love and are loved and who's to say what that love is supposed to look like.
This is not your typical erotic ménage story. It's an intricate balancing of 3 lives coming together to make themselves whole. Tristan, Thea and Matthew all have things in their pasts that haunt them, make them feel unworthy of love. Through their triad relationship they heal and grow. Of course it wouldn't be a good read without a lot of angst.
I'm not going to tell you about the plot in this review because I think this is a story that everyone will have different feeling about. Some will embrace it for the amazing sexual tension and explosive chemistry between these characters. Some will hate it because of the "love triangle" aspect but that's ok (it's not a love triangle by the way...it's so much more).
I loved Tristan...my heart broke for him...his struggle to be himself despite his upbringing.
I loved Thea..her struggle with her past and her strength to face the future.
I loved Matthew..he wasn't afraid to be who was, love who he loved and say the fuck with what anyone else thought.
This was a long book with a complex storyline but totally worth the read.
3.5 stars
