What do you get when an unexpected storm traps three men in a remote mountain cabin that only has one bed?A recipe for grilled cheese, whatever that is.All Collin wanted was nice weather for the last rafting tour with the outdoor excursion company his father had built from the ground up. What he got was Max, a recently single grump, and Spencer, an eternally optimistic cat rescuer.The three men … rescuer.
The three men can’t be any more different, but somewhere between roasting s’mores over a campfire and realizing the only road back to civilization has been washed out, something happened.
There’s no electricity, but there’s body heat and warm blankets, and if Collin, Max, and Spencer thought the storm was unpredictable, they didn’t have any idea what to expect once their hearts got involved.
But like Collin’s company, all good things must come to an end. The question is, are the three of them just a good thing? Or the real thing?

Spencer, Collin and Max are such a cute trio. I laughed so much that I had tears in my eyes.
I don’t even know how to articulate how much I adored this book. I started off wary—I didn’t think I liked how over-the-top and prissy Spencer was and how much Max exuded grumpy, broody rain cloud vibes. Collin seemed like a good guy, but he fell into the mediator role for the other two and I wasn’t sure any of them were going to make it back from the hike without pushing each other off a cliff. But I am a changed person. The way those three bonded while they were stranded, they way they let down their guards and became all melty and sweet was so lovely. What sold me on their romance wasn’t how I initially saw them but how they grew into each other, all twisted up together in steamy sex and, later, deeper feelings. I love how fiercely protective Collin is, how sneakily sweet Max is, and how outspoken and full of life Spencer is. The authors completely convinced me that this relationship would not work unless it was all three of them, with all their quirks and flaws and uniqueness.
What broke my heart the most in this book was how unworthy each man felt at different points. Whether it was Collin thinking he was too old for Max and Spencer, Spencer thinking he’s too weird and dramatic, or Max thinking he’ll never find love again, I wanted to wrap each of them up and tell them how perfect and special they are. It made the moments when they were sweet to each other even more rewarding, because I knew how much they each needed the reassurance and affection. “You are not pathetic, and I would like to find every single person that ever made you feel that way and punch them in the mouth.”
As sweet and emotional as those moments were, I also found myself laughing uncontrollably at other spots.Whether it was something punny, the way one character described another, or the hilarious situations they found themselves in, I could see how much fun these authors had with this book. My favorite line of all: “Spencer jumped up and cats flew everywhere.”
By the time I was nearing the end of the book, I felt completely overwhelmed with emotions. The sex these three had lit me on fire, the happiness I had watching them fall in love filled me up, and the satisfaction I was left with after reading about their reunion melted me into a giant puddle. “Straight people have been eloping three days after meeting someone since the invention of marriage. Surely three gay men who barely know each other can run off and start new lives on a whim.”
I sincerely hope this isn’t the end of Spencer, Max, and Collin’s story. Even if we only get tiny glimpses of their lives in other books, I’ll be thrilled. (Am I the only one who’s hoping for a bonus birthday rimming scene?)

OMG – the sass and sizzle in this story is epic! A glorious tale of three VERY different men who come to mean a lot to each other in a very short time. I simply adored the dynamics between the guys – I wish we could see more of this type of intertwined romance with the perfect balance between sharp characters.
3 men at different stages of life, dealing with different pasts, dealing with different choices to make. One thing they all have in common is that when life clears the path for you it can be amazing and even if you decide to not pursue it, well it just may not work out the way you thought.
This was a well written book. I could not figure out which author wrote which character but it flowed flawlessly and bridges perfectly for Cherry Creek.
Oh boy, did this story pack a punch! The three brilliant authors who worked on this gem created an amazing trio of MCs! Interesting backgrounds and characteristics that bring a whole array of trouble, but also intense emotions to the mix.
I loved how the story focused almost solely on the dynamics between the three MCs, without much interference from other characters.
Three cooks in the literary kitchen made for a really delicious read. These characters were wonderful, all broken in their own way but they filled in the empty places in each other. The storyline flowed so smoothly that it could have come from one author, their collaboration blended into a highly engaging whole that had me glued to my tablet. I enjoyed every bit of it.

OHHHH triads, how I LOVE thee! Cloudy with a Chance of Love is an adorable romp with three drastically different men, who somehow find love in the midst of a nasty storm and only one bed.
I was really excited about this book and it’s definitely delivered in a sweet and lovely way (though I will wish it had more steam). I’m not gonna lie, this book went far more seamlessly than I anticipated with it being three authors. But since I love all the authors, all with really different styles, I was excited to see that it turned into this quick page-turner. Though, I was probably going to like this regardless because being situationally trapped has always been a favorite type of story to slide into. I do so hope that these men show up in other books, and we get to see more of their happy faces.
I really enjoyed this story! Max and Spencer, so completely different, on a 48 camping/rafting trip led by Collin as their guide…what could possibly happen? The build up to the three of them finding happiness together was really well done and that fateful stormy night when they finally got together was a great payoff! The writing was really seamless even though it was written by three different authors, you couldn’t tell at all and it flowed effortlessly for me. I would have really liked a little more time with them all, and some more steamy time, after they all came together, but maybe that just means there is more in store for these three in future books??? I hope so, and I hope there is more coming from Cherry Creek!
A fun light read of three seemingly unlikely men finding that first impressions aren’t everything and sometimes you need what you least expected. This one is on the short side for a triad of strangers coming together and I wish there was a little more development. But for three talented to team up the cohesion they achieve is lovely. Each of these guys are somewhat broken or missing something at first they just hit it off all wrong. Circumstances crash them together, unexpected chemistry pulls them in and catches them completely off guard. Once the storms pass, and reality rolls in, they shatter apart. But after having a taste of what could be it’s time to start piecing things back together into what becomes a beautiful HEA. The animals were an adorable addition, Robert is the best house goat ever!
Cloudy With A Chance Of Love by E.M. Lindsey, EM Denning and Kate Hawthorne. This story is fun and sexy. There are parts that I adored and parts that cracked me up… Collin, Max and Spencer definitely have an MMM romance worth reading about.
How could this book not be epic. Three of my favorite authors collaborating and it’s a steamy menage and there are freaking goats! Three hot dudes and goats, damn I am all in. Loved this book, it will become a favorite that I read over and over.
