****** 5 Stars ... and a crescent moon ********
It put me out of my good-books-drought.
****** 6 Stars and 1 Comet *******
I am speechless.
My heart is racing...Few books have touched my heart and brain as deeply as this one.
What a wonderful and brave heroine.
I have a new favourite author:Jessica Gadziala thank so much for this great experience.
What a ride!
How to tell what I think...maybe this background of my life is not interesting or maybe it is relevant, I don't know, judge for yourselves.
I live in a country where every year the number of women murdered by their partners is increasing (49 in 2022, I think), where groups of women runners are organized to enjoy night races safely, a country where government campaigns warn you not to leave your drink within reach of anyone or to be careful to return home alone because you may be in danger. Or where, and this hurts, women threatened by their partners are chained to a surveillance bracelet for their protection, while those who threaten walk freely. With all this background I can only marvel at stories like this. For me it's almost science fiction. That three strong, sensitive men share intimacy with a woman who is independent and confident in her sexuality. That this woman is sincere with her desires and her needs. That all of this, sex, friendship, love, is based on mutual respect, and above all, on respect for the other...God, I want to live inside this story.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Crazy and delicious. Love the girlfriends and the heroe too.
6 Stars !!! And 1 Comet!!!!Beautiful, and raw, honest to god.This is my first C.D. Reiss, but not my last, that's for sure.“Of course, I'd been wrong. Love wasn't everywhere and nowhere. It just shifted around. Expanded, contracted, and moved like a nomad.”“Love didn't fit in the space. Love was uncomfortable.

First of all, I love Evangelene's books. ‘The Devil Behind Me' series is one of my favourites.
But this one needs a new editing work.
Nice characters, beautiful love story, interesting relationship between a woman and a younger man, but ... You can tell the same in 150 pages, you don't need the rest. The last part, the hero pov, is completely needless, and the same goes for a few scenes after the final reunion.

Easy, funny and hot. Too cheesy in the end.
Not bad
