Sweet, sexy, ménage-a-trois love story that is more than
just sex.
Jake Thompson is a down-on-his-luck waiter, self-imposed
loner who finds himself in Tom Fearnes bed.
Tom is successful, gorgeous and the kind of man Jake wants. But an explanation of Tom’s open relationship
with his longtime lover and business partner, Cass Pearson, leave Jake feeling
like he is the other man.
Cass and Tom have been tighter for 10 years, and although
full committed to each other, life has gotten in the way. Tom wants to help Jake and Cass sees Jake a way
to sooth Tom and his need to have him closer to home. Simple on the outside, but once they are all
falling in love, how does a threesome really work?
Let’s start by saying how much we didn’t except to love
Misfits by Garrett Leigh, but fall in love we did. Jake has Tourette’s, and honestly at the beginning
we thought it was a little distracting to the story, but his TS added so much to his character, and his
strength. Cass has led a hard knock life
and struggles with the idea that he deserves everything good in his life. And Tom tries to keep everything together,
and everyone happy, Each of the men are flawed but together they
make a whole. Misfits is a ménage-a-trois
love-story, but it is SO much more than that, it is a story about connections,
healing and learning to really depend on each other, through thick and thin.
And it is HOT. From
the first hook-up of Tom and Jake, Garrett Leigh creates some serious
chemistry. The sex story balance is
good, and the sex isn’t there just to be sex between 2-men, rather adds another
layer to the story, how physically they can be who each other need. The angst level is thankfully low, and a bit
of jealousy rears its head, but again makes this story so much more
believable.
So, although ménage-a-trois love-stories may not be your
thing, this is one that will get you hooked from the first chapter!
