Publisher's summary

New York, 1948

After years of trying to break into New York City's literary scene, Madeline Slaughter is emotionally and physically exhausted. When a friend offers her a safe haven as the live-in companion to reclusive, bestselling novelist Victor Hallowell she jumps at the chance to escape the city. Madeline expects to find rest and quiet in the forests of Upstate New York. Instead, she finds Victor, handsome and intensely passionate, and Audrey Coffin, Victor's mysterious and beautiful neighbor. When Victor offers her a kiss and the promise of more Madeline allows herself to become entangled even as Audrey is also claiming her heart. The only problem is that Audrey and Victor are ex-lovers with plenty of baggage between them. As Madeline finds herself opening up and falling in love with both she starts to wonder, can there be a future for all three?

Sweet but Needed a Little More Plot

A nice, quick read, though I think I wanted just something a little more substantial plot-wise to sink my teeth into. Not quite enough plot to be Plot with Smut, but it felt like it took itself too seriously to be Smut Without Plot (on purpose).

Love this story!

Reread -

I love how Ottoman's novella length romances are the perfect mix of historical background of New York in the 1900's as well as the romantic arc of the relationship. This is a poly T4T relationship, has more vibes than plot, and I loved the narration on this. Very cottage-core, very cozy, loved the poly dynamic between the leads.

Cozy AND Spicy?

Aside from some minor quibbles about how the characters just jump from being strangers to lovers, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Lots of spice.
