****4 Stars****
This was a quick read for me but a very hot and enjoyable quick read. I love ménage stories especially when there is M/M involvement and this book certainly delivered. I have to say it is unusual in the erotica genre to find a book with a physical disability especially one that causes erectile dysfunction but the author handles the issues sensitively and brilliantly.
Ward has been out of town for a number of years working as a logger out West and obviously running from something in his past. On his return home to take over his sick fathers logging company and while staying with his sister he encounters Ivy who he feels an instant connection and attraction to which his sister soon dismisses by informing him she is the wife of his friend Liam. He also learns that Liam has suffered a severe accident as a fellow logger and is now confined to a wheelchair. Liam’s name conjures up a number of feelings in Ward that he tries to ignore.
Liam is not coping with his long term injuries at all and has become angry and embittered by the turn his life has took, logging was his life and he was set to take over his family’s logging business, something he no longer envisions. His marriage to Ivy is falling apart due to his reluctance to accept any therapy and his depressive state. Poor Ivy is working to keep them afloat following Liam’s accident but she is quickly running out of patience with Liam and their situation.
However once Ward picks up the courage to visit Liam things begin to change for them all. Old feelings that Liam has kept hidden even from his wife come back in an instance and when he quickly picks up on the attraction between his wife and his ex-lover a plan begins to form in his mind as to how he can save his marriage and ensure his wife is satisfied.
Wow the scenes between these three are hot and so well written that you forget at times that Liam isn’t able to fully participate. These guys are built as you can imagine being loggers and they both have dirty mouths which I love, Ivy is a lucky lady. Ivy soon learns of their past together and is accepting of this dynamic to their relationship which pleases Liam and Ward even more and the scenes get even hotter.
Liam is soon encouraged to engage with physical therapy and their home life begins to improve however other factors around their logging businesses begin to throw them all into danger. Wards father takes a turn for the worse. Ivy is also encountering difficulties with a character at work and the inevitable gossip begins. Doubts creep in as to their individual dynamics in this budding relationship especially when Liam shows signs of improvement. Can they overcome all these obstacles and find love together forever?
Blurb:
When faced with a challenge, it’s best to pool your resources.
Liam Mattson used to play his wife’s body like a fine violin. Until a logging accident dampened his fine motor skills and rendered his legs—and the most important part of his below-the-waist playground—useless.
If only Liam would throw himself into therapy with the same vigor he used to throw her into bed, Ivy is sure he’d fully recover. But lately she’s felt adrift, while he’s stuck in self-pity and pre-occupation with a serious threat to his logging business.
When Ward Bose returns from the backwoods, Liam isn’t blind to the heated, guilty glances between his best friend and his wife. And he takes a step he never could have taken if his legs were working—ask Ward to service Ivy in bed.
The moment the three come together, Ward’s heartstrings are tied in knots, and Liam holds them in his fist. But secrets they’re each keeping could tear them all apart…unless they can find a way to share their burdens as easily as they share their love.
Warning: Men who wield big saws know how to care of business—in bed and out.
