This is the continuation of Mason, Gray and Jack’s story. After their declaration of love in the first book, the three are now settling together. This time, Mason is now attending college while Gray also applied for a promotion. Jack however was on a limbo. After the robbery incident from the first book left him still reeling and feeling the pressure of coming out from Gray and Mason, he just doesn’t know how to deal with it. After getting shot in the line of duty, he finds himself withdrawing from his lovers. With Gray becoming a detective and Mason studies – both becoming extremely busy, he feels like he’s drifting away.

Now the funny part about this book was the reversal of roles. Jack’s now having a hard time communicating his feelings towards his lovers. He suddenly became oversensitive and way too submissive. I’m still ignoring Gray in this book because he’s still an hard-ass but this book clearly focused on Jack which isn’t a bad thing at all, I just thought that it would’ve been great if there’s an alternate POV between him and Gray since we got Mason in the first book.

Jack’s characterization was obviously altered here which I didn’t like at all. The plot turns improved a little and the sex still plenty – some good, most forced into the story. It was like they just need sex to solve a problem.

Overall, I think this was a great conclusion to the trio’s story when some life-altering decisions were made. At least they’ve got some sort of a happy ending which I’m okay with – sort of.

When two hot cops walk in to the bar, Mason’s porn fantasy was ignited. When they talk to him, he was almost speechless. When they propositioned him, he was beyond himself. But when feelings got involved overtime, things got complicated. Mason does not want to go in between Gray and Jack. So he has to say goodbye before causing a rift in their relationship and end up getting hurt yet again.
First, I’d like to say how incredibly hot the chemistry was between these three guys. I mostly loved their sexy times but find the Dom act of Gray too abrasive for my taste. It was mentioned though that he’s not good in communicating his feelings and does better showing it through sex (really now?!) but he could get really annoying. I’ve read a few books involving BDSM and this is one of my least favorites in terms of their scenes. Although the BDSM part was not really excessive here, I just thought that Gray isn’t that solid of a character especially when he’s acting all dominant towards Mason and Jack. He’s too gruff, too macho, acting like a caveman all the time. Mason mentioned that he tried the BDSM scene before and does not like the pain shit stuff but when it comes to Gray, he realized that it’s what he really needs? Huh. I don’t buy that for one second. Maybe he’s got daddy complex or something. Okay, so I just don’t like Gray at all I guess.
Jack was my favorite amongst the three. I loved his passive-aggressive personality and he’s obviously the most rational in the relationship. Mason, I didn’t get much at all despite all his issues about his family’s denial of his sexuality which the author forgotten altogether because apparently sex is more important than getting a story out of it.
Speaking of the story itself, the robbery thingy was just an unnecessary plot to give it some sort of twist or happenings outside their sexual ménage. It’s almost ridiculous because it didn’t really work. But hey, I’m not hating here – I mean I liked the story as a whole and since it was a fairly quick read – I say why not?
