I must say that I have never read a book like this before and I have read a lot of erotic romances. What was different? Well... 
 #1--there was never any conflict between the 3 characters. They were all really respectful of each other and of each others feelings. They were constantly making sure that no one felt left out. I must say that that was calming for me. I wasn't frustrated with any misunderstandings that come with lack of communication. I know that this is not a plus for all readers. Maybe it would even make the story seem boring, but I enjoyed it. 
 #2--I was very happy with the romance between Todd and Erin. I thought that they made a great couple. So, I was surprised when Ben entered the picture. Okay, call me stupid, but if there is a book by an author I like and that I know I want to read, then I don't read the back of the book to find out what it is all about. I like to be surprised. Well, I was. 
 #3--I have NEVER read a book where a guy, who has been straight all of his life, all of a sudden starts to be romantic with another guy. Ben has always known that he is bi, but not Todd. This is all new to him. But, I must say, this really worked for me. I know that I am in the minority, but I do NOT like menage books. I never buy the relationship. To me, it always seems that someone is left out. The guys always seem that they are competing for the girl's attention and affection. I just don't like it. HOWEVER, this book really worked for me because Ben and Todd love each other as well as loving Erin. I think I have now discovered that I will LOVE reading menage books if there is some m/m action as well as m/f and m/m/f. Unfortunately, this book didn't really go into any detail with the m/m relationship, but I kept hoping it would. I thought that it would be so HOT, HOT, HOT if Erin watched while Todd and Ben got together. I think that I need to be on the look-out for authors who deal in such relationships. Anyone have any suggestions?
