Our Man Friday

This is the first book I've read by this author, but it won't be the last. The story was well written with plently of back story and developed characters. I love that the pace of the romance was built up nicely and the characters didn't all jump into bed together after only 3 pages. The story was also fairly long, so you don't feel cheated :)

suprised by the effect of this book. I like reading about these three. there were some really hot scenes about the two guys and then of them with her but, also one about rejection of affections. pretty strange how they shared all of the responsibilities of the business and house. I find it hard to believe you could share your lover but, I like reading about it!

Warning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS. Rating: 7/10 PROS: - Ian and Cassidy's connection, the depth of which neither of them is fully aware, is depicted well: they anticipate each other's needs, understand each other's expressions, finish each other's sentences, etc. - There's some hot sex, two or three scenes in particular. - The feelings of jealousy that I feel must be inevitable in most threeway relationships are explored in a fair amount of detail. Those parts aren't necessarily pleasant to read, but I admired Thompson's willingness to look at the negative side to threesomes as well as the positive. CONS: - The way that Ian and Cassidy invite Kye into their lives so quickly weirded me out a little. Cassidy meets Kye in a bar and asks him to go home with her after maybe an hour: okay, I get that. That's typical bar behavior for some people. But I raised my eyebrows when the next morning (after no sex, mind you, so the "we slept together so we're connected" thing's not there), she and Ian allow Kye access to all of their business records. - Kye's wanderlust tendencies seem to go away or be quenched or whatever very quickly. I didn't quite buy the speed with which he realizes he's ready to settle down to hearth and home. In fact, I didn't believe at the end that he was there to stay forever. - More flowery language in the sex scenes in this book than I remember encountering in the other Thompson novels I've read: "petals of her sex," "sweet nectar," "hooded pearl," etc. Ich. I much prefer the simple names of body parts and such. Overall comments: This is a decent book; there's a bit of angst thrown in, but nothing that lasts too long or is too painful, and the writing is solid. With others of Thompson's books, though (Handyman and Switch, to be precise), I was left with a warm, delicious feeling after finishing them, and that's just not present after reading this one.
