Content warning: The book featured in this review describes a sexual relationship that develops between three close relatives.
Twenty years ago, Denver developed a sexual relationship with his brother Harley. It all started as a drunken dare at a college party and ended abruptly when bisexual Harley found out a former hookup was pregnant. Harley married the woman and focused on raising their son, Edison. Twenty years on, Denver has never really gotten over the interlude, and Edison is the spitting image of his father at twenty. Edison also shares his father's disregard for conventional taboos. Denver finds his nephew hard to resist, and he still misses his now-divorced brother. Is it so wrong to want them both?
This story picks up in the present day, right where the previous book, Risk Takers, left off. Edison has turned up on his uncle Denver's doorstep after a fight with his father, Harley. But Edison wants more than just a place to stay. He wants a reprise of the sexual encounter the two had months ago, which Denver still feels guilty about. You will want to have read the first book before this one to get the full background on the history between Harley and Denver.
“Rule Breakers” is a high heat menage fantasy, but it doesn't shy away from the fact that human beings are involved. The characters spend a good deal of time talking about the repercussions of a possible relationship. The brothers Harley and Denver are particularly concerned about Edison. The young man may think he wants all the hot sex he can get now, but will he regret it later? The doubts don't get in the way, but they do add a touch of realism to the fantasy.
The entire focus of the story is on the three men. There are only a few scenes involving other characters of any significance. The three are well drawn, especially considering the erotic fantasy nature of the story, where you don't expect as much definition from the characters.
“Rule Breakers” is available from Smashwords or Amazon (commissionable link).
