Abel
by Katee Robert
This was so, so good. This is the third book of Katee Robert's I've read, and while I did enjoy the other two very much, neither of them "clicked" with me 100%. Abel, however, had me from start to finish, fully invested and desperate to know what was happening next.
In the beginning of the book, the story had me fully engrossed (as well as Abel's character - I'm such a sucker for the stoic, angry hard-ass who secretly has the heart of a teddy bear), even though I wasn't sure how I would feel about the throuple at the heart of the romance. I loved Abel from page 1, and quickly fell for Harlow, too, but Eli left me with mixed feelings for a long time; that said, Katee Robert knows how to write a damn redemption arc, and even when I wasn't sure if I could ship him with the other two, I never found myself bored by his chapters because his internal monologue was so interesting.
All of that aside, by somewhere around the 70% mark, I was cheering so hard for these three to get their HEA! Especially Abel, who honestly just deserves all of the best in the world, and I'll hear no arguments. I haven't read a lot of polyamorous romance stories, but this is easily my favorite throuple portrayal I've read. These three fit so damn well together, and it's clear as day that there's no imbalance - each of them needs and cherishes the others equally, and it's really stunning. ♥
I'm a little bit nervous about continuing the series because I know some of the other brothers are in some seemingly unrequited-love situations, and those are always a bit harder for me to read, but I loved Abel so much that I have no choice but to put my faith in Katee Robert and see what happens next!
He grins, a fierce expression that’s part challenge and part amusement. “I see what she is, Eli. She’s not the princess.” He leans forward, dark eyes intent. “She’s just like us. Not the hero. Not the knight or the princess or whatever the fuck other box you can think up to shove her into. She’s the fucking dragon you think to protect her against. Really, someone needs to protect you from her."
