This is my first book by T.J. Alexander, and I look forward to reading more.

I enjoyed the characters and plot for this story. I don’t always understand some of the motivations for relationship choices, but I am open to learning, and the poly relationships in this book are different to ones I have read previously, so I was interested in the dynamics for these characters.

Mel has been hurt and is pretty cynical about love and relationships at the start of this story. She is initially hesitant to get involved with Bebe and not sure how she feels about a poly relationship, but the chemistry she shares with Bebe is pretty great and really pulls her in. Her relationship with Kade is very slow to develop however and she is not sure about them at all in the beginning.

Bebe is open and joyful and just really knows what she wants. I admired how comfortable she was in herself and her relationships, both with Mel and with Kade.

Kade, for me, was a true enigma. While we do learn more about them and see more of their personality as the story progresses, they remain very reserved and a bit of a mystery.

The other character that I wanted to make sure I mentioned is Daniel, Mel’s best friend and roommate. While the relationship between Mel and Daniel has some bumps along the way, he is super supportive of Mel (even when she’s a little self-centered). We only meet Daniel’s partner on page once, but he seems perfect for Daniel as well. I wouldn’t mind reading their story.

I liked the way the story ends, both in regards to relationships and personal growth/ goals for each of the characters.
