As the second part to the book Dark Horse, taking place immediately where the that story ends, you really need to read it before you read this one. Fortunately, they will both suck you in quickly to the story and the people. 
 This one didn't hit me quite as emotionally as the first, but it was very good to see that problems didn't just magically solve themselves or disappear. Where the first ends more HFN, this one ends closer to a HEA, though it could still be seen as a HFN depending on your own philosophy (half-full, or half-empty). The trio finally seems to understand their weaknesses and have the willingness to work on them for the long haul - to make this a real relationship and not just give in to easy temptations. Each of the characters is real in a way that most authors can't capture. 
 I would definitely recommend these books to anyone who's interested in reading a realistic m/m/m dynamic. I can't wait to read some of the extras which Kate said she has available on her website. =)
