A good story but didn't quite live up to its promise for me. Three Part Harmony is the second book in the Plot Twist series but it reads fairly well as a standalone. The first chapter or so had quite a bit with characters from the first book so it kind of got me up to speed. After that, though, the story was pretty strictly about Bruce, Everly and Raleigh. I was really excited to read this book as it's been a while since I've read an MMF (male/male/female) ménage story. It turned out to be a good story but it took me way longer than it should have to finish reading it. (It's a longish book at 384 pages but I'm normally a really fast reader.) The story had a lot of promise to be really hot but turned out to have only a few hot scenes, which was a bit disappointing. I really loved Bruce/Theo; he's a quirky character and I almost always enjoy them. Everly and Raleigh were pretty good, too but it took me much longer to connect with them. For some reason the author's writing style in this story just didn't work really well for me. I found myself drifting a bit while reading and I often had to read portions again to grasp what was being said. I suspect that this had as much to do with me as the writing. Sometimes it's really better for me to put a book aside and come back to it later and I probably should have done that with this one. If you're looking for a really hot ménage story, I don't think this will be what you're looking for. But, if you're looking for interesting characters, along with a good story, this should work quite nicely. A review copy was provided by the publisher via NetGalley but this did not influence my opinion or rating of the book.
