Helpful Score: 2

I wanted to love this book. Unfortunately, I don't even like it. Throughout the entire book I found myself asking "Who is Ethan?" Adam is described as possessive-- the older dominate brother with a past love interest. Ryan is seen as stubborn, young, and coming to grips with his personal demons. What is Ethan seen as..? The "funny one" yet he never says anything funny! The author provides absolutely no background into who Ethan is or was before he met Holly.

In the midst of the author trying to create a realistic world where a woman has three lovers (who happen to be brothers) she continually left out an integral character. Ethan simply appears in the book as someone who is there to lend a "helping hand". For example, Ethan can play chauffeur when rushing to the hospital; agree with whatever Adam says for the betterment of their woman; and even play with a nipple when all other orifices are currently occupied. Ethan and Holly's "one on one couple time" in this book is signified by one event (the shower scene) where as Adam and Ryan continually have "one on one" sessions that last entire pages and are sporadically dispersed through the book. Ryan and Adam constantly touch Holly in loving ways ( a grace of a hand against a cheek, a peck on the lips, etc etc) Ethan shows his affection for Holly by giving an enthusiastic smile or a quick hug.

Other than the fact that the book gets off to a corny start ( I found myself rolling my eyes at several scenes depicted in the beginning) I really wanted to like this book. However, I just couldn't stop myself from asking "Who is Ethan, and what is his role in this awkward relationship?"
