I have enjoyed the first 2 books in this series, but Hot Licks had a different feel to me.

That's not a bad thing, I just felt that this one was a bit heavier than the other two.

Benji and Josh's story is not all rainbows and butterflies, they are struggling at the moment and my heart just about broke for them as they tried to come to terms with where they were at.

Enter Van, and man oh man what a guy. He could so easily have been a character that the reader hated, but the direction that the author took the guys made him all the more lovable.

It was a bit slow going at first, and it was around 50% of the way through before things really took off. The story wasn't slow, there was just so much that the characters had to get through to really start moving forward.

I loved the way the story unfolded, I felt unsure of things along with the boys, I felt the love, the fear, the friendship.

The poly relationship is another thing that could have come across as crass or tacky, but again the author tackled the subject well.

And besides, who doesn't want to read about a little bit of man on man on man action :D

I really enjoyed Hot Licks, and I can't wait to see what A M Arthur brings us next.
