“Boys,” Tomas called in a no-nonsense voice, and Mason couldn’t help it. He sank his teeth into his bottom lip and grinned at Vinnie. “Don’t, Mase,” Vinnie said. “I don’t want you getting your hopes up.” “Too late,” Mason whispered.

This book started so well and had me hooked and feeling emotional, and I ended up being pretty disappointed, which is a massive shame. I really wanted to love everything about Tomas, Vinnie and Mason. It’s been a while since I finished it now, but what I remember struggling with the most is that Vinnie and Mason’s relationship is never explained or spelled out. They’ve been a couple (sort of?) in the past, but after their fight in the beginning of the book and subsequently getting together with Tomas as a poly throuple, we don’t learn what their new dynamic is. They have no sexual contact after getting with Tomas. Only a kiss on the cheek. I genuinely had no idea if they were still a couple or not. They also never have any threesomes on page, but it’s hinted at in the epilogue, only to be skipped entirely. Quite frustrating.

I couldn’t really get a grip on their dynamic and that really bled into the rest of the story. It definitely had its good parts and kept me reading, but I’ve loved the series a lot and wanted this one to be really good.

“I agree,” Mason said cheerfully, “the three of us should have a conversation.” Tomas narrowed his eyes. “You’re already on thin ice after your little stunt, so I’d be very careful how you proceed.” Shit, the honest-to-god pout he got in response nearly made him chuckle.

“I know you don’t mean to, but when you shut down and close yourself off to protect yourself, you close yourself off from me too, even when you don’t realize it, and there’s nothing that makes me feel more lonely than being alone with you and feeling like you’re not even there.”
