 Zoey Matthews is in love. She’s been in love since the day she was dropped off by a social worker at yet another foster home on a back country road miles from nowhere, Missouri. At age ten, she met the men of her dreams. Over the course of sixteen years, Dane Cardwell, Jack Devereux and Ryan Wilkins fell in love with her, too. They’ve each told her they love her, they’ve shown her and each man has gone so far as to ask her to marry him. But what they don’t know is Zoey loves them all.

Her game of kiss and not tell all comes crashing down around her the night of her graduation from veterinary school and Zoey runs for the mountains. Of Colorado. Hoping to outrun her obsession with three men and forget them all together, she stays gone for ten years. But the wound has never healed. In fact, it’s done nothing but fester. Needing to clear the air, Zoey agrees to spend a few days back home with the boys never imagining it would turn into a week filled with comparison sex as Dane, Jack and Ryan each try to get Zoey to choose between them and their varied tastes.

When she finally tells the truth, a truth only one of them has known all along, Zoey fears the foursome will never be able to make a sharing relationship work. After all, aren’t there just too many personalities and desires to sort through? Add in the kink factor and things get really complicated. Zoey’s not convinced the truth has any merit, but there’s one thing she knows for sure…this time she’s playing for keeps.

Zoey Matthews grabbed her diploma and got the hell out of dodge right after graduation.  She was in love with her three best friends, Dane, Jack and Ryan and was scared of those feelings and what it would mean.  Instead of dealing with those feelings, she ran.

Ten years later, they call her home hoping to spend a week with her and find out exactly why she left.  She’s terrified as she leaves the plane but once she’s back in Dane’s home she decides to lay it on the line and fight for what she wants.

All three of the men want Zoey, but it’s Dane that poses the biggest risk to their family.  Can he give up his possessive streak to truly give Zoey what she needs, even if it means he has to share her with his best friends?

Let me fan myself off before I start.  Phew!  This is one HAWT story.  Now, if you aren’t into menage stories (and the cover doesn’t lie…that is three men our heroine Zoe is with) this may not be one for you.   To be honest, I couldn’t get my head around the third man being there, but Lila Munro does an amazing job of not only showing us that four people is not too many in this romance, but that each one of their “kinks’ can be accommodated too.

I loved both Ryan and Jack.  They both put Zoey first and never pushed her.  Dane was a hard one to warm up to, since he seemed to focus more on his wants and needs rather than everyone else’s.  But in the end you love all three of them and their very unconventional relationship with Zoe.
