Saving Samuel by Nicole Colville

3.0


Title: Saving Samuel
Author: Nicole Colville
Series: Manchester Menage Collection
Genre: M/M/M Contemporary Romance



Main Characters:

Daniel is a firefighter, used to putting his life on the line to protect others. His relationship over the past six years with Milo, a police office, has been rocky. Daniel loves Milo, and Milo seems to have strong feelings for Daniel, but it never seems to work for them despite how they try.

Samuel is a former sex slave who was kidnapped from his foster home at 14, escaped around 16, and has been on the run every since. His former captors set him up to die in a fire, but Daniel rescues him.


Plot/Conflict:

Samuel is on the run from his former kidnappers who were using him as a sex worker, keeping him hooked on drugs. He has been free, in a matter of speaking, for at least a year when Daniel rescues him from the fire. Daniel has only just decided to leave Milo for good, and having an instant attraction to Samuel is only furthering that decision. Milo is willing to lay everything on the line and explain what he wants from Daniel, except seeing the budding attraction between Daniel and Samuel has him feeling defensive…. And aroused.

While the three are getting to know each other and figure out how to potentially build a life together, Samuel’s captors are still looking for him, his former “owner” is a Russian mobster who will stop at nothing to have Samuel back.

Loves:

The super hot threesome scenes. Not gonna lie, it was hawt. I liked that it wasn’t all about defined roles, or defined positions. These three took sex pretty open.

Likes:


I felt like the menage aspect was handled well from a relationship development standpoint. Milo and Danny had a relationship that wasn’t meeting both of their needs, and adding a third was a logical solution, but the third person needed to be the right fit, not just an extra person in bed.

Peeves:

Danny was a little immature for me. He was supposed to come across as the wounded party I guess, between him and Milo, and instead he came across as sulky and petulant to me. He jumped the gun a lot where it came to Samuel and sometimes is was pretty uncomfortable with this his attraction towards someone who was basically described as an underage girl at first.

And Danny realized that he wants Samuel directly after kicking Milo to the curb, but the second he gets Samuel home, he is back to screwing with Milo. It was just very immature and disingenuous to the romance story for me.

Milo wasn’t my fave character either, he just came across as manipulative to me
Spoilermaking Danny think he was screwing other people when he wasn’t

Favorite Quote:
You will always be you. Even if you dressed up as a sheep and crawled around, it would be you, just a different, fluffier version of you.”
