OK, one more LD book, the current volume in the Brown family series. This tasty little novella was a nice peek into the life of Ben, Todd and Erin, who get a chance to get away from work, life and the kiddo for some time together for their relationship.
If I were a tattooed, polyamorus rock star turned coffe shop owner I'd want to be Erin Brown. Her men are yummy, she has a wonderful family full of siblings, in-laws and friends surrounding her. She also has Alexander, her adorable little boy who speaks in exclamation points and he has his own names for folks as all toddlers do, he's also learned to use "Yo!" in just about every sentence thanks to his uncle Adrian.
The men decide to take Erin to Fiji, a place where they can get away from the pressures in life, the paparazzi and the madness that surrounds everyday life. With Erin's celebrity and their unique relationship they are often hounded by the press and have had some mud and even social services flung their way because of eir unique family situation.
Todd packs some new toys, Erin packs some bikinis and Ben just packs his awesome.
I enjoyed how this story while being about the triad, also focused on Ben and Todd's developing relationship. They started out in Laid Open as very tentative towards each other, Todd moreso than Ben who was already comfortable in his sexuality and had already had a relationship with a man and a woman, for Todd this was more of an adjustment, he and Ben had been friends since childhood, and Todd hadn't likely ever considered romantic love for a man let alone having hot sweaty man-lovin' on a regular basis.
They aren't gentle with each other the way they are with Erin and it's an interesting view into that side sof the triad dynamic. They realize that their relationship which each other and working on that is just as important as their relationship with Erin as well as the triad as a whole.
Even in this delicious little tidbit from LD there is an interesting twist, something coming back to pull a dark cloud over the peace and quiet of Fiji. But loving each other, supporting each other and giving each per room to deal and grow is the part of their relationship that makes it all work.
I hope LD keeps up with these little love letters to the fans after Erin's book ans the Delicious series are done, they aren't even gone yet and I'm missing them already.
OK, now I'll step away from the LD and move on... Really...
