This series just gets better and better. I am so glad I stumbled on it through the current NineStar sales and freebies. (And I am already on pins and needles waiting for Book 3!!!)

I love these two so much, and Noah is a fantastic addition. Book 2 finds Logan and Christian in love and moving in together and realizing they have some unhealthy communication issues to work on, among other things.

I was so relieved to see these issues addressed, and the author continues her commitment to realism as they fumble through this transition from best friends to boyfriends. The emotions are raw and not always pretty, but they are committed to each other and to figuring it out, and their utter devotion to each other's happiness is ultimately a thing of beauty.

They are continuing to pull away from their parents' narrow-minded expectations and starting to thrive outside the confines of their conservative town. Christian more so than Logan, which is where some other issues come to light.

Noah was a key source of Logan's insight into his and Christian's relationship dynamic in Book 1, and he becomes an even larger part of Logan's day-to-day life in this new chapter. Since Logan and Christian are learning to talk to each other about anything and everything as it happens and not let things snowball or fester, Logan tells Christian when he realizes he's developed an attraction to their roommate, even though he is horrified that he's let this sneak up on him.

But Christian, being so beautifully schooled in all the different version of polyamory by ex-girlfriend Charlotte, is not bothered by this development. He knows he and Logan are in this for life and is confident their relationship can weather whatever that attraction leads to.

And where it leads is AWESOME. It's hot, it's sweet and it provides some fantastic trans rep to boot. Noah is a fascinating combination of shy but bold, and I love how firmly he addresses certain issues when they arise.

I have no idea where we're going from here, but I can't wait to find out. Suzanne Clay clearly has a firm handle on who these guys are and how they fit together, and I am all in for Book 3.
