Well... I actually cried. I do love read these books at night in my bed, just before sleeping. But this one... I just read it.

For the first time in this one, I really wonder if this relationship can work and feel like Shane is failing in his position as Dom to the trio. He and to a lesser extent Dick treat Gilli like a child or a pet, not like an adult sub in this one. Major decisions are made not just without consulting him but without even telling him in advance. There are times when it would be a small effort to assure him of his worth and solicit his opinion and help, but Shane seems unwilling to take the time or make the effort. He tends to Gilli's physical welfare but gives no time or consideration to his emotional well-being.
In the past, I felt Gilli brought a lot of the conflict on himself, and that some of it was attention-seeking. (And while Shane could have alleviated it by some well-chosen attention, Gilli was sometimes being childish.) In this one, Gilli's issues seemed justified and predictable, and Shane's lack of interest in them beyond trying to smack him out of bad moods was short-sighted and lazy. Gilli is a lot of work, no doubt, but if Shane didn't want to make the emotional effort, he should have left him as a houseboy and not opened a relationship.
The writing is as always engaging and humorous, but the tone is more melancholy and there is a sense of lost opportunity here.
