If there is one surefire way to make me cry, it is to give me characters that feel misunderstood and are afraid to share their feelings or ask for more because they are scared they aren’t enough. Cue waterworks every single time. Give me three characters who all carry some of that for their own very different reasons…I’m done for.

For quite some time I couldn’t figure out how the three of them would find a way forward. And despite the fact that I knew it would have a happy ending, I was so stressed that one of them would get hurt. I loved them all from the very beginning, it didn’t take long for me to become protective of all of them.

Marko is misunderstood and often dismissed for being dim simply because English isn’t his first language, and struggles to express how he feels. Most find him weird. Not Luka. Luka, with a delightful praise kink, who loves Marko, but is terrified he’ll lose him if he asks for more. Then there’s Nolan. Nolan who has accepted who he is, and how he feels, but realizes he doesn’t really know how to integrate that with other people.

I loved watching them all make self-realizations, gain a deeper understanding of each other, and create a beautiful life that embraces all three of them completely.

Don’t let my own angst fool you though. This story is sweet, funny, flirty, and downright sexy too.
