Nice story about a gay 3some; not for kids.
I am so excited to see Sam and Aaron get their story. Tim is a great addition to their lives. I like how they are willing to be there for him no matter what. I also love Tim’s courage to ask for what he needs. I like it when we get to see that Dom’s can be vulnerable along with the inner strength that can be found in a sub.
I’m a big fan of both the Collars and Cuffs and the Secrets series, and I was terribly curious to see what K.C. Wells and Parker Williams would do with this story. And I should have known it would be… sweet perfection!!
These two authors have a knack for writing strong alpha males with endearingly big hearts and caring natures. Aaron Greene and Sam Thompson fit that bill perfectly. How is a reader to resist them? How is Tim for that matter?
Tim, being a very sensible and discerning young man, falls like a brick for Aaron and Sam. The only thing left for him to do is convince the two doms that together, the three of them, have a chance at something real and absolutely wonderful.
Sam and Aaron were hurt very deeply by their ex, Seb, and had a difficult time picking up the pieces of their heart after he left them very suddenly and without much in the way of an explanation.
Both men are doms, but I especially loved the moments where Aaron showed a more vulnerable side of himself to Sam.
Tim is still very young, but he has already gone through a great deal, having suffered abuse both at the hands of his family and strangers. Luckily, Aaron finds him when he’s hit rock-bottom and he can convince Sam to take a chance and care for Tim until he gets better. After that…the magic happens.
There’s a lovely sense of family to be found in all these books and it was great fun to reconnect with all the characters from previous books in this series. And as much as I don’t want to play favorites… Rob and Maggie are awesome!
I loved the dynamics in this mmm romance, the love all three men (grow to) have for each other and the tender way in which they care for one another is just such a pleasure to read.
And plenty hot as well, which made for a great little cherry on top of an already delicious cake 😉
My thoughts about THREEPEAT
This is a relationship story, a primer in relationships that work, what happens when they don’t and how to regain the bond. The third book in the Secrets series, it is rewarding to return to see the doms and subs from prior stories, some we loved and others we want to know better. The world created by authors Wells and Williams is set in England, in a BDSM club although this story is less about kink and more about self-identity, ID if you will, and relationships.
Sam and Aaron thought they had everything they needed when their threesome fell apart and their sub, Sebastian left without an explanation. Since that time, despite the love between Sam and Aaron, things simply didn’t work. How could they move on if they didn’t understand what happened? How could they trust again?
Sam needs to be THE dom. He needs the control that offers and he had it once or thought that he did. Aaron, also a top, and dominant in his own right, needs to be needed. He thrives on his relationship with Sam as long as he has the ability to nurture and care for a third, submissive to them both.
Sam and Aaron are second-guessing their own relationship and struggling to make it work because each too important to the other to just give up. One evening Aaron came upon a young man who is homeless and very ill and his nurture nature didn’t allow him to just ignore this painfully thin, ill young man.
Tim is a sad young man who doesn’t believe that he deserves much as he has only known ridicule and abuse from his family, other than brief respite with his grandmother. He hasn’t known a normal childhood and although he always knew he was ‘different’ he only understood the nature of that difference in his early teen years. There was no nurture in his home and no sense of ‘family’. After he was beaten and forcibly ejected from his home, just staying alive was Tim’s constant focus and when we meet him, he is desperate, physically and emotionally depleted. He has lost hope and regaining any sense of self, of hope for a future will be a long journey.
This is a strong story of recovery, for Tim as well as for Aaron and Sam. It is an emotional love story with all of the romance and passion found in the best stories of that genre.
Authors Williams and Wells always tear us apart a bit, making us suffer along with the characters before they show us that there is a door and it is open and with color and love on the other side.
The most difficult thing upon reaching the last page, the last word is that I immediately want to return to our friends and Secrets.
The sizzle factor is a 4, the story 4.5 stars and my desire for the next in this series is a strong 5!
Threepeat may very well be the sweetest, most romantic BDSM ménage story I’ve ever read. Of course it has the kinky sex and moving storylines I expect from K.C. Wells and Parker Williams, but there’s something about these characters that just tugs on my heartstrings a little harder than usual. As with all the stories in the Secrets series, Threepeat can be read as a standalone. However, with the way the characters interact in Secrets, I recommend reading them in order.
I’m a huge fan of ménage literature, especially when it’s done well, and Threepeat is a gem. K.C. Wells and Parker Williams manage to include all three men in some of the most creative and erotic scenarios I’ve ever read, but this isn’t the focus of the story.
The setup for this one is methodical and two-fold. First the authors explain how losing their contracted submissive is causing a multitude of issues for Doms Aaron and Sam. Both men are doubting themselves, fearing what harm they must have caused to make their previous submissive flee with no explanation.
Long term lovers, Aaron and Sam truly belong together, but the dynamic between them just doesn’t work without their sub. These are two deeply emotional men and they aren’t looking to just fill an empty spot in their lives. They know they still have things to work through, both individually and as a couple, before they are even ready to start looking for a new submissive.
These factors are affecting their relationship, as well as forcing Aaron and Sam to look deeply within themselves. I always find it fascinating to explore the way two dominant men relate to each other, and the authors do an amazing job with this part of the story.
Tim’s tale is simply horrible. Ms. Wells and Mr. Williams paint a vivid picture of the abuse and neglect Tim has suffered at the hands of his family. When he’s finally kicked out of his home, the lengths this young man must go to in order to survive on the streets of London… well disturbing is putting it mildly.
Thankfully Aaron rescues Tim and the two Doms take him into their home and nurse him back to health. Way before they embark on any kind of sexual relationship, these three men forge an intense connection on an emotional level. When the dynamic is firmly established, we can see how they will be able to incorporate the principles of BDSM into their relationship and make it work.
All three of the protagonists undergo an extraordinary journey. We get each man’s story as they discover themselves, and figure out how they work within this triad relationship. I was especially moved watching the changes in Tim as he explores and embraces his need to care for others.
I’m absolutely loving the Secrets series. The way all the characters move back and forth between each other’s stories is artfully done, and I’m especially taken by the way the submissives are building a family together. Each book somehow manages to top the one before it, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed there will be many more episodes in this wonderful collection
While this is a typically well written KC Wells book, it is not a typical BDSM book.
It’s not easy to find a well written menage book so I was VERY happy to hear that KC was writing a menage BDSM book!
Two Doms who lost their sub 2 years ago when he asked to be released from their contract, try to move on with their lives as a couple. One Dom, Aaron finds a young man (Tim) on the street who is in need of medical assistance and he brings him home. After nursing Tim back to health Aaron and Sam agree to help Tim get back on his feet. The trio end up developing feelings for each other and eventually begin a relationship.
Because Tim had been physically abused at home, Sam and Aaron find imaginative ways to make Tim soar (and to punish him when needed). I loved the things they came up with! The trio visits Secrets and we get cameos from previous couples from the Secrets series.
*****
POV… Third person
Standalone or series… book 3 of a series but CAN be read as a standalone
Did it give me a hangover… slight
Would I recommend it… yes
Would I read it again… yes
WOW! I really enjoyed the book. Interesting written with sups & doms. Fun characters.
This was a unique storyline and was exceedingly well written. Aaron, Sam and Tim are three exceptionally well rounded characters who bring something uniquely individual to the story. Loved it.
