I desperately want to sit and write out all my thoughts in detail, because I had such high hopes coming into this book. In fact, the first 50% of the book is extremely strong, tapering off slowly until about the 80% point and then it just nosedives completely. A good portion of the story has the main characters slowly learning more about one another past their initial instant attraction. The chemistry is palpable and their interactions are natural, easy. As eager as I was for the polyamory aspect of the novel, I have to say I was deeply disappointed by the execution of it. The third side of the triad feels very shoehorned in. It was hard to keep myself in the story during the scenes where she was getting to know the main pairing, as they all sort of...instantly fell together. It was a stark difference to the slower build of the main pairing. Overall I did enjoy the book, but the ending did no favors for it.
