This is my first time reading/listening to this author. I don’t read many MMM books, but this one came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. This is the story of three broken men finding each other under really bizarre circumstances. It starts out with a really horrible case of mistaken identity between Jonas and Mas that almost leads to Mas killing Jonas. Cole is introduced as the brother of a girl Jonas sees murdered. What I really liked about this story was the way it progresses naturally. They don’t just hop into bed, although there are great smexy times. They really develop their relationship while trying to unravel the mystery of who is trying to kill Jonas. Both Cole and Mas are alpha males, but it is really Jonas’ love that is the glue that holds the relationship together. Each man is ready to give his life to protect Jonas and one them almost does. There is ALOT of angst surrounding the misunderstanding and lots of miscommunication; to the point I wanted to strangle Mas and Jonas. But there is also great action and romance. I really look forward to the next book.
Joel Leslie gives his usual masterful performance. Each man has a distinct voice and characterization. That so important because the story is written from all three’s POVs. I really felt moved when each man told his story, especially Mas. It was heartbreaking.
