This short story does not waste any time diving into a spicy scene, and not for the faint of hearts. For it being a quick read, I liked it, I would have loved to learn more about the characters to set the stage. There is a lot that happens that makes me want know the three main characters are up to now. Overall, if you want a quick, spicy read, this is your book!

I start each book with the desire to love it. However, I found this book to be quite boring. I am an open reader; I read anything, so the trial relationship/ sex wasn't a problem for me. The character development was lacking. I could sense that they had a friendship, something deeper than what was initially presented.

Thank you for blessing me with an ARC copy.

A lovely short story that begins seemingly very superficially and lustfully, but continues to unfold and reveal deeper layers to the characters and their relationship. We begin with a relatively kinky, elicit encounter between three friends, and theme as the reader have the privilege about learning more about each of them through a sometimes nonlinear narrative. There is more than meets the eye to each of these characters, as well as to the nature of the relationship between them. A story of empowerment, exploration, love and hope. Glad to have read this. Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read; I will be looking for more from Ava Colt in the future!

The book is super hot! Threesome with a lot of freedom for kink exploration. The story is really turning you on. I liked how the scenes were described, vivid and hot. The great short spicy read!

The story was really steamy in a good way. I enjoyed reading it. I wish there was more in the story about their characters relationships over the years. I would love to see how the attraction built up over time.

Honestly, this was kind of boring. I didn't know the characters well enough to be invested in anything. There was also too much trying to make this more than an erotica with vague mentions of the characters' family drama it felt out of place. I feel that if this book wanted to have a deeper plot it should've been a longer book. The third-person narrative also added to the disconnect. I also have no idea how these characters met, it sounds like they met studying abroad, but the way they're introduced made it sound as if they'd been friends for years, either way there wasn't enough context for them as friends before they fell into bed together. As for the spice, I personally don't like this kind of dirty talk.

I wanted to love this; I'm a huge fan of a closed triad relationship structure, and have no issue with a book that is more smut than plot. However, this one was just a bit lacking. I know it was a novella, but the lack of character development made them all feel very flat and two dimensional. Some of the writing was stylistically awkward in a way that felt like maybe it was trying to be literary but just came across as vague.

There was some good lines and some cute moments.

This was pure spice and no substance but that’s what I went in knowing this. The spice was excellent so therefore this gets a solid 3 from me

This novella felt all over the place and felt a good deal longer than it actually was. There were multiple tenses and too many flashback scenes for a story this short (and on top of that, they each felt useless and like we were dumped into them). It also felt really stilted. It wasn't clear until the end WHY she was in Amsterdam at the beginning of the story, which we wouldn't have needed, except she alluded to their time being short, which made that detail feel important. The sex scenes were fun, but I didn't feel a connection to the characters, and likely wouldn't read about them going forward if there was a full-length book.

Thank you to NetGalley & BooksGoSocial for the ARC copy in exchange for review.

This was okay, it was definitely spicy, and had so much potential, but it just didn’t quite hit the mark.

I struggled with the 3rd Person POV throughout and kept getting confused between who was who between the two MCs

The relationship between the characters was believable though and I’ve definitely read worse spice… just some words gave me the ick.

If you're looking for a short spicy story this is it! I definitely read this one for the spice alone. This story follows two guys and one girl who met in college. Nathaniel and Theo have had a crush on Anne for a long time. She is also attracted to them both. What happens when they finally act on their feelings? Very spicy group smex! The flow of the story could use some more work but I enjoyed it for the spice alone.

2.5 stars

Thank you NetGalley for the copy!

It was a short novella that I read in one sitting. Despite that I had a hard time getting into it. Maybe it’s the case that this is so short or maybe the third person POV. I also found the smut scenes cringy written. The dynamic between characters was difficult to get into for me.

Super quick read. Definitely spicy. The actual plot of the novella was kind of confusing at times. I enjoyed part 1 the most. The beginning of part 2 was weird and I almost wish there was more to part 3.

The book itself left me wanting more. Sometimes a book can be to long and it gives you the feeling of it could have been summed up in a quicker timespan. With this book however I think if more time spent writing more chapters would have been more beneficial. That being said, I believe it is worthy of 3 stars.

This wasn't really my speed. In the books defense I did not pay attention to what the whole plot was about haha. It would be good for someone who likes spice

This is a short,simple and spicy read. i loved the fact that a small steamy book was able to include a worthy plot with a HEA (happily ever after) for all three of the characters.

This book explores the MFM throuple throughout the book and there connections. Anne,Theo and nathaniel are close friends who are in college but then find themselves into a hot and steamy situation their relationships grow even stronger. They travel around Europe whilst enjoying there time together before going back to different schools, having lets just say a lot of "fun"

thank you to NetGalley and the author for letting me have the opportunity to read this book!

For a 38 page novella, that was about 70% "spicy" scenes, it was not very spicy at all. We had no introduction of the dynamics of the friend group so the beginning was very confusing. I would not read again or recommend to anyone else, had this not been only 38 pages, I likely would have DNFd it.

I mean the title is fairly honest and self explanatory and there certainly is a lot of (very steamy) action between one girl and two boys but there is a little bit of a lack of storyline inbetween. The chapters are sort of separated by venue and season but that’s about the extent of it. Definitely a bit niche and the writing is ok and doesn’t feel too repetitive in terms of the sex scenes but it did make me laugh a little that there was a token long word thrown in occasionally, maybe so we take it seriously and think ‘ooh this is good writing’ but actually it was a bit awkward, especially seeing as there were the equivalent number of grammatical errors eg your for you’re which have me the cringe factor more than the sex scenes did. Again, ok for the genre and if this is the kind of thing you were looking for but a bit more (some!) story would’ve been good rather than just a series of sex scenes.

A very short novella where Anne, Nathaniel and Theo, three freinds who go to school together and decide to become a throuple.

A quick read that's always nice when you're in need of a good spicy book. Maybe if it were written in first person rather than third person, you could appreciate it more.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for the ARC, all opinions are my own

It was a spicy quick read. I enjoyed how it jumps right into the story. It also made me want to learn more about the characters. I wish there was a little more backstory but I guess that’s hard to do since the characters didn’t know each other that long.
