Threepeat

I am going to admit this cover didn't do the book justice. I just don't see the characters in these models no matter how hard I look but doesn't matter. I loved the Collars and Cuff series and am loving Secrets, plus both K.C. Wells and Parker Williams are auto-buy authors for me. They didn't let me down with this. I have been waiting for more Sam and Aaron ever since the series started. The first book was just teasing about them. We know from book one that they were lost since their sub left. They are both Doms so it is hard for them without a third to hold them together. We got a peek at them when they showed up for Rob's collaring in book two but it was so hard on Sam that they left. This brings us to this book. Sam and Aaron are incomplete. They need a third to complete them but Aaron won't go back to Secrets or out anywhere so they might meet someone. Their relationship has been strained but they have a solid love. I loved how we found out more about Sam and Aaron, though I would've liked more about how they met. The authors did a great job describing Sam and Aaron. I could see Sam's strength and size. I loved how Aaron was a workaholic and how Sam and Arron fit so well together even though they are both Doms. Then one day Aaron goes shopping and sees a young boy in the gutter very sick. He offers to take him to the hospital but the boy refuses. Aaron has such a good heart he can't leave the boy there so he calls Sam, I liked this too, that he didn't just bring him home without asking. Tim has been living on the street. His family was awful and my heart went out to Tim. The authors do such a fabulous job creating such realistic characters. Men you want to fall in love with. The stories are gripping and page-turners. I liked that when they first brought Tim home it is plutonic and they just want to help him and the relationship grows so organically. Then of course, when you finally get to the sex it is smoking hot. I was impressed that the men didn't press the BDSM on Tim and Tim found out and came to them about it. I was also impressed that they didn't do the regular spankings and caneing etc you see in BDSM book because of Tim's past and found other ways to fulfill all their needs. The story is so realistic. Tim takes up knitting but it isn't bam; he picks up needles and is making awesome, perfect hats and scarves in no time. We see his struggles and he bonds with Maggie, Jared's mom. We get lots of Jarod, Eli, Rob, and Vic too. So I do suggest reading this series in order. There is a lot of mention of Seb, the sub that left without telling them why. As much as he was mentioned I expected a return, but I also expected a bit more drama there and the reason for him leaving still wasn't clear to me, but I think maybe we will be getting his book soon and I hope we get Max...Maggie's chauffeur too. If you like May/ December, D's. menage, hot dom's, cute subs, a touching romance, knitting, whacky characters (Maggie's a hoot), and some hot MMM man-sex, you will love this book(and series) It is addictive.

Threepeat may very well be the sweetest, most romantic BDSM ménage story I’ve ever read. Of course it has the kinky sex and moving storylines I expect from K.C. Wells and Parker Williams, but there’s something about these characters that just tugs on my heartstrings a little harder than usual. As with all the stories in the Secrets series, Threepeat can be read as a standalone. However, with the way the characters interact in Secrets, I recommend reading them in order. I’m a huge fan of ménage literature, especially when it’s done well, and Threepeat is a gem. K.C. Wells and Parker Williams manage to include all three men in some of the most creative and erotic scenarios I’ve ever read, but this isn’t the focus of the story. The setup for this one is methodical and two-fold. First the authors explain how losing their contracted submissive is causing a multitude of issues for Doms Aaron and Sam. Both men are doubting themselves, fearing what harm they must have caused to make their previous submissive flee with no explanation. Long term lovers, Aaron and Sam truly belong together, but the dynamic between them just doesn’t work without their sub. These are two deeply emotional men and they aren’t looking to just fill an empty spot in their lives. They know they still have things to work through, both individually and as a couple, before they are even ready to start looking for a new submissive. These factors are affecting their relationship, as well as forcing Aaron and Sam to look deeply within themselves. I always find it fascinating to explore the way two dominant men relate to each other, and the authors do an amazing job with this part of the story. Tim’s tale is simply horrible. Ms. Wells and Mr. Williams paint a vivid picture of the abuse and neglect Tim has suffered at the hands of his family. When he’s finally kicked out of his home, the lengths this young man must go to in order to survive on the streets of London… well disturbing is putting it mildly. Thankfully Aaron rescues Tim and the two Doms take him into their home and nurse him back to health. Way before they embark on any kind of sexual relationship, these three men forge an intense connection on an emotional level. When the dynamic is firmly established, we can see how they will be able to incorporate the principles of BDSM into their relationship and make it work. All three of the protagonists undergo an extraordinary journey. We get each man’s story as they discover themselves, and figure out how they work within this triad relationship. I was especially moved watching the changes in Tim as he explores and embraces his need to care for others. I’m absolutely loving the Secrets series. The way all the characters move back and forth between each other’s stories is artfully done, and I’m especially taken by the way the submissives are building a family together. Each book somehow manages to top the one before it, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed there will be many more episodes in this wonderful collection.

✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ 4-STAR ✩ REVIEW ✩ ✩ ✩ ✩ > > Judging a Book by it's Cover < < Strong font choices, but the overall composition of the models against the blackout backdrop feels better suited for a psychological thriller than a BDSM Menage Romance. Synopsis sounds interesting but, to be honest, I've loved the Collars & Cuffs series and the Secrets series enough that I only gave the blurb a glossed-over glance. I was much more excited by the prospect of reading another book written by this dynamic transatlantic duo. > > Looking Deeper < < POV ~> Third-Person Setting ~> England Aaron and Sam are two lost Doms. Their sub, Seb, broke their contract and left them with no explanation, no warning, leaving them broken and doubting every move they'd made with their boy over the nearly-six years together. Two years, through ups and downs, the men have been empty. Living together, but feeling the utter loneliness, neither having the desire to put themselves out there again but knowing deep down that something had to change before their very souls withered away. Enter Tim. Homeless, sick, on the verge of death. Scapegoat and punching bag to four older brothers, he was beaten and tossed out with only the clothes on his back. Aaron witnesses the boy collapse, barely conscious from his condition, and decides he needs to rescue him, nurse him back to health... hoping to keep him against Sam's better judgment and even his own reservations. But Tim just wants to serve, to make others happy... to belong and feel loved. This third SECRETS book by KC Wells and Parker Williams was well-written and the pages flew by smoothly. Though I enjoyed the lead trio of this book, their story felt a little too flat to me, having read the C&C series and the previous Secrets books, I'd expected it to contain more dynamics and/or drama. It was almost too feel-good contemporary, despite the milder BDSM tones. The conflicts that did arise were minimal and too easily resolved. It felt anti-climatic. Secondary subs and Maggie had much bigger roles in this book too, making me feel even less connected to the trio the book was written for. Predictability was low and the conclusion is solid. Sadly, I love the authors and their two series, but this was not a favorite of mine (I think it's a bit hard to compete with Vic and Rob's story though). I hope the next book is stronger and packs more content. .
