Asher was perfectly happy with his sex life and thought Derek was too so when he suggests trying something a little different, Asher doesn’t know what to think. Before he has time to consider the possibility of sharing the love of his life with someone else, Derek introduces Asher to Dean, a bartender at Derek’s bar. He should be furious at Derek but suddenly Asher’s finding it hard to focus on anything but the gorgeous specimen of maleness in front of him.

After reading Asher and the Elevator Romp - the prequel to this story – I was excited to read the next installment in Asher and Derek’s lives. The previous story had introduced the characters well and I was looking forward to witnessing their development but although we have moved forward in their lives, I am still left trying to fill in the pieces somewhat. Their elevator romp seemed to give that extra kick in their sex life but it seems that in Asher and the Threesome, things are a little tired for Derek and he wants to spice things up again. That had me worried about Asher’s feelings and their relationship, which surprised me as I was expecting Asher to be the one I had to keep my eye on. The author did a good job of keeping me on my toes and making me care about the characters. The introduction of Dean could have gone either way, especially with Asher’s initial reaction to the idea. However, he charmed me over at the same time as Asher and Derek and the resulting scenes were sizzling. Although the introduction of a third man came out of left field for me, I am starting to realize that the Asher series is going to be far from predictable and I do look forward to seeing what comes next.
