This was a relatively short story with some light dominance/submission and an eventual menage (m/m/m) scenario.

I actually enjoyed the character buildup, getting some insight into Rodrigo as we watched him develop a relationship with Ian, the librarian while lusting over Professor Sullivan, the man he is research assistant for.

The scenario was rather interesting as most of the book was taken up with Rodrigo's encounters with Ian and it was only towards the very end that the third was introduced into the relationship. Of course, who this person is was totally obvious and predictable, but it was still nicely done.

I thought Rodrigo's acceptance of Ian stepping out on his partner (no matter that the partner agreed), slightly strange, particularly as his relationship with Ian went beyond just the sex and included them spending lots of time together, very much like boyfriends. I would have expected an element of jealousy from Rodrigo as his heart become further involved.

The ending actually left me wanting a little more. It provides just a taste of the three men together and leaves so much more to be explored.
