Piers Ryman is a new-to-me narrator and I was afraid I wouldn't like him because of his thick accent (British I guess?). The story was little dull when I hit the 70%, but then something happened and picked my interesting again. There is a good balance of comedy and angst. The dynamic between them was amazing, they were scared, happy, confused, afraid, fulfilled. Matt is straight, Connor is asexual and Seb is gay. And that helped a lot, because they all knew each other and how much they like each other. The relationship between the 3 men was already established, not a romantic one, but they were all friends before being lovers. I tend to not read MMM or polyamory for that matter, because I'm afraid one of the guys will be a third will, so I'm very caution. I'm happy to say this book did it for me. So, one for me to keep an eye on, I reckon! 5 stars for the book 5 stars for the narration **same worded review will appear elsewhere** It didn't bother me, but I can see that some people might not like it.
There is a slight accent to that reading voice but I couldn't place it. His reading voice is deep and even, a very BRITISH accent, that reading voice, but then again, the book is set in England. He gets across all the emotions from the all, from Matt's mother too, when she throws her hissy fit at everyone, and when it all goes down near the end. This is a new to me narrator and I tried to listen to another of his work, and something about THAT book didn't work for me (NOT by this author!) This one, however, he nails it! He absolutely nails the voices of all three guys, they fit each man perfectly. Matt dawning realisation that he might not be as straight as he thought. Connor's unwillingness to move things along, although WHY is surprising. LOVED that Connor had lusted after Seb and Matt for so long, and they didn't really know! All three guys have a say, so we get it all from them.
Thoses kisses open a whole can of worms for all three of them, but I loved the way Matt and Connor talked to each other, before they decided to go all in, the three of them. I really REALLY enjoyed this! Seb is the only gay guy, Matt is straight and Connor is.Connor. Seb knows he wants more with Matt and Connor, but they have to decide if it's something they want.
They get drunk and Seb has a light bulb moment and realises just WHAT he really feels for his two best friends and kisses them both. When Seb is dumped after 5 years, he suggests a camping trip. I've READ one other of Ms Davison books, and I didn't much like that book but this was a whole different kettle of fish! Seb, Connor and Matt grew up together and still, years later, still pend a lot of time together.
