I enjoyed reading this, but I'm not necessarily sure about it yet. Poly romance is always interesting in how much character development you can actually produce based on three different POVs, and here we learn about each of their backstories but not really who they are so much. Xaiden, Corbin, and Val fall into the quickest relationship ever it seemed, and I honestly don't know about the timespan here as far as the action taking place. We went full-on dramarama toward the end which ramped everything up, so at least it did keep me reading through to the end. Even though it says standalone, I really had no idea who the other trios were and not sure I cared so am not sure about continuing down this road whether author or series; we'll see.
[Reread update: I actually read the previous books so have a better idea about the other trios and appreciate this read now; I’ve adjusted to the author’s style so enjoyed it more.] ( )
