‘The Thing About Us’ was my first read by author Jennifer Domenico, and maybe I didn’t know what to expect when I started reading. That being said this isn’t my first kinky MMF read.
The storyline interested me from the start and continued to hold me throughout the book. I couldn’t put it down, at times, because I wanted to know what was next.
It was the writing style largely that wasn’t my thing, too many repeat phrases, and lowered my level of enjoyment. Some of the sex scenes were not realistic and therefore totally ruined the experience for me.
I know this is fiction but there’s still no reason that characters would be portrayed in kinky scenes and not have the necessary preparation.
This is the first time I have read anything from this author, and I was not disappointed, this book was emotional, intensely steamy, and had me glued to the pages. This is the story of Ben, Luc, and Georgie. Ben, and Luc, are best friends, and business associates. When they meet Georgie, they both want her, but can they find a way to make things work for all of them, or will feelings of jealousy, and doubt pull them apart? This book was well written, the characters have insane chemistry, and the sex scenes are explosive. I highly recommend this book, it’s hot, passionate, emotional, raw, and intense.
This is my first book by this author and I was attracted to it being a menage and the blurb. I was not disappointed. The story is about so much more than the relationship between Georgie , Luc, and Ben. The characters themselves are well developed but they also go through more growth during the story. The scenes are hot and I couldn’t put this down.
The Thing About Us was my first book by Jennifer Domenico and I enjoyed this taboo and unconventional menage a trois story. This novel follows Georgie, Ben and Luc as they embark on a relationship with will venture in to new territory for them all.
I enjoyed seeing how this relationship blossomed between these characters, it was emotional, and steamy but the author also gave us the inner struggle the characters faced in coming to terms with their relationship and feelings. We get the fear, the confusion, the jealousy, the burgeoning love and so much more.
Written in triple POV this story was an excellent introduction to this author’s work and I would recommend it to all lovers of taboo MMF romance.
I felt so sucked in to the story and its realness! Debra @ Janise’s Jivin’ Book Blog
What a fantastic take on a story of this genre! I was sucked in from the very beginning and couldn’t stop going wow with how this author wrote this love story.
Our characters are flawed and truly don’t ever stop being that way because the element of realness is there all the way through.
Having a two people relationship is hard enough but make it a three way dynamic and there are bound to be problems. Love is definitely the glue that can hold you together but it can never truly take away the cracks that crop up. It is how the characters deal with those cracks that can make it last.
I definitely had a few tissue moments, a few why did you do that moments and a lot of just talk to each other moments.
The chemistry was off the hook and were written very well. They were not written in a way, I wouldn’t believe.
Jennifer Domenico has a way with a tale that I want more of.
I had mixed feelings about this story at first since I am one not used to stories about a relationship trio. However, once I got about ten per cent in and then wowzer…those sex scenes sucked me right in. The story was so intense and flowed perfectly; it had my attention from then on till the finish.
There was certainly a lot of emotion in this story and it was very intense with the feelings the characters had for one another. Especially with the chemistry of Luc and Georgie; Ben and Georgie; Luc and Ben and all three of them together. I loved Ben’s innocent side of never being with a man before and seeing those feelings transpire. Luc..oh..Luc his feelings for Ben and Georgie were just HOT in general. The only thing I did not care for was Georgie’s personality and her not getting to know the guys as men; well only in a sexual way.
This is my first read by Jennifer Domenico and will not be my last. The Thing About Us is read as a standalone and is written in triple POV, which made for interesting reading.
4.5 Stars
The Thing About Us is not your ordinary ménage à trois. It’s raw, emotionally charged and definitely scorching. But beyond the hotness of this book, there’s the inner struggle where Luc, Ben, and Georgie needs to face and define what kind of relationship they want with each other.
I truly enjoyed this unconventional love story right from the start. Jennifer Dominico didn’t just write a book that will stimulate your senses but also a heart-rending one. It was a very nice read!
This story was intense between this dynamic trio. These three dealt with lies, desperation, betrayal, hope and sexy hot love! I had a crush on Luc, but than Ben stole my heart with his tender, sensitive sweet side along with his show stopping good looks. Luc could talk to me all day with his yummy accent and he is also easy on the eyes. Georgie may be the beautiful girl who brought them all together but their mind blowing attraction to each other kept them there.
The growing pains and jealousy almost broke me as much as it did them, but the HEA brings this trio right back where they belong. And don’t get me started on Ryan, he’s an amazing friend and I need him to get his own story with his soulmate! Jennifer this story is action packed with steamy hot sex but also hard core once in a lifetime love
A steamy and full of feels romance with a twist
There is a saying that the course of true love never did run smooth, and that is true of this tale here. There is angst and there is personal conflict, but given both the unusual situation AND their personal histories it felt a natural part of the story.
I really liked all three main characters, though I perhaps would have liked just a little more of Georgie’s ‘voice’. That said, there was certainly enough from her POV to allow me to feel a connection to her character. The fact that this is written mainly from the two male’s perspective is quite unusual, but totally worked for me. Luc and Ben could have easily blurred into one, but both retained their own distinct character. In fact Ben, Luc and Georgie were all very consistent, developed and likeable characters.
As a Brit I also thought the author did an excellent job of making Luc sound English. She also wrote a very engaging and captivating tale. This is a very steamy and slightly taboo story, but also an emotion filled and very heart warming one.
Ben, Luc and Georgie will definitely keep you turning the pages with this story. It is a story of raw. sensual emotions between three individuals who get caught up in their feelings. They both want Georgie but Ben also has deep feelings for his friend Luc. Will this work for the trio or will jealousy take control and ruin what they have going?
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
SWEET BABY JESUS is what I said after reading this book! I mean Jennifer had me on such a roller coaster ride with these three I was rooting for them all the way through. I wanted them to work things out and have their HEA and what I got was so so much more and I LOVED IT!
Luc and Ben are best friends and business colleagues. They do everything together and have a great friendship that is until Georgie walks into their life and changes everything for them. See Luc and Ben both want her and she wants both of them. They are going to try and make this relationship work but you know what they say about the green monster appearing and trying to ruin everything well that happens with these guys and they are going to have to fight like hell to get what they want and to keep it.
This is an amazing story that needs to be one clicked and read like ASAP! So go on and give it a go and enjoy the roller coaster of a ride you are about to get!
Just finished The Thing About Us and WOW. ALL…THE…FEELS. Luc and Ben are business colleaugues and the best of friends. They share a warm, easy friendship and enjoy each others company both in and out of the boardroom. Then in walks Georgie, all sex and sass and upends their worlds. Jennifer Domenico brilliantly explores the depths of emotions experienced by Luc, Ben and Georgie; three people who unexpectedly find themselves in unique situation. Will their friendship withstand the challenges that come its way or will jealousy and lies bring their world crashing down. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and look forward to more from this talented author.
5 All the Feels Stars!!!
This is my first book by Ms. Domenico and I absolutely LOVED it!! I’m a huge fan of ménage stories and when I saw the blurb for this one I was so excited because there’s nothing better than a perfectly written story when there’s more than two lovers involved.
Holy Moly this book is SO MUCH MORE than sex between three people. It has a deep abiding friendship that is delved into in and out of the bedroom, sexual tension and angst and everything that Ben and Luc know and love is put to the challenge when Georgie comes into their lives.
I wasn’t sure how the three of them would handle all the emotions and physicality of adding a person into their world on every level. But Ms. Domenico did such a phenomenal job of showing how difficult this can be while also letting the characters know that a deep abiding love can be felt for more than one person at a time. And as long as everyone is on board with what’s happening having two lovers can add enrichment to their lives even with all the challenges and questions from those that don’t understand their love.
Ms. Domenico has written a book that drew me in with every emotion I could possibly experience and watching this unconventional love story unfold was an experience that this reader is so glad I took the chance on a new to be author. I can’t wait to see what she’s got for us next!
