Synopsis:
Five years is a long time to love someone from a distance.
But I’ve finally finished my degree, broken free from my Kentucky momma and her pageant dreams, and moved to Chicago to be with my soulmate.
Step one: move in and make up for lost time with Darius. Intimately.
Step two: land my dream job and start fresh.Easy enough… until my mom starts scheming to drag me home and slap a crown back on my head.
And then there’s Arlo—Darius’s best friend and frustratingly hot roommate. He’s moody, brash, and impossible to ignore.
When I find out he and Darius have shared women before, everything shifts.
I shouldn’t want both of them.
Good girls don’t get tangled in fantasies that include two men. They don't wonder, what if.
They definitely don’t tempt a man like Arlo…
Right?
Review:
How We Are was a forced proximity, found family, why choose steamy romance that had the most beautiful happily ever after! Set in the city of Chicago, this story whisked me away. With a good girl, a cinnamon roll you’ll want to steal from the pages, and a bad boy that will make your heart beat faster, I quickly flew through this story. If you adore MFM romance, or you’ve been wanting to give one a try, this is your book!
I’m hoping they will learn to at least respect each other, if not more, because I won’t give either of them up. That’s not an option. – Darius
Jolene was a pageant queen who was moving to Chicago to live with her boyfriend, Darius. They had done the long distance thing for the last five years, and their love was strong, unbreakable, and so beautiful too. Living with Darius, was his best friend Arlo. And from the moment Arlo appeared on the pages, I was obsessed. Right from the start, Jolene and Arlo were explosive. The tension between them thrummed with electricity. And even when Arlo was kind to Jolene, it was laced with sexual tension. I loved that he called her Kentucky, and I couldn’t wait for them all to cross the line to more!
I need to re-friend-zone her and fast, but as strong as my will is, I’m struggling. – Arlo
“I don’t want it to stop,” I whisper.
Darius nuzzles his nose against mine. “It doesn’t have to.” – Jolene
One of my favorite things about this book was how they were all open and honest. Not only about what they wanted physically, but about their feelings too. Although…..it took some a little while longer to figure that out. But when they were all together, it was extremely explicit, erotic, and sexy. I loved the steamy games they would play. And I loved even more how much they respected each other. The love between Darius and Arlo was so beautiful *wipes a tear from my eye*. So what unfolded was a story that warmed my heart and had the most fabulous kinky sex!
Our girl. Chills rise on my arms and neck.
If you’re looking for a polyamorous throuple to fall head over heels in love with, Arlo, Jolene and Darius are your people! With all the dirty talk, sexting, vibrators, restraints, and more, How We Are was a sensual and erotic book that will consume you from that first page to the last!
This moment. Them. Everything about them is life now.
