Review of More (More Book 1) (More Series) by Sloan Parker
Luke's searching for something, something to get his mind off things. And he finds it with Richard and Matthew. None of the three imagined that one connection would lead to an intense, life-changing kind of love, though.
More is told from Luke's POV, which sounds one-sided, and I guess it is, but the reader gets to see Matthew and Richard develop as characters, as the other two parts of Luke's heart and soul, all from Luke's perspective, so it was actually a good way to see how the relationship developed. First off, I have to mention that More is H O T!!! Like, incendiary, 5-alarm kind of hot. So much so that it overwhelmed the emotional part of this ménage at times. The best ménages are balanced equally between the physical and the emotional, and I'm afraid that all the steam tipped the balance to the physical side, so that the emotional side suffered a tad. But only a little, and not enough so that I didn't still enjoy More. Ideally, though, I would have appreciated a little less steam and a bit more emotional and character development.
The sub plot of Luke's dad, though intended to be an important part of Luke's backstory, backfired in my mind. It didn't do much to further the ménage relationship or the story because it came off as a bit corny and cheesy villain-ish. His father was ott ridiculous and it hurt the story a little. I think More would have been better off without this part of Luke's backstory, and had Luke's father not been in it, it would have given the story more room to focus on the emotional side of the relationship development.
All in all, though, I really liked More. Not only is it hot as I mentioned, but Luke, Matthew and Richard are all equally likable, interesting characters individually, and as a threesome, are perfect for each other. If you are into gay erotica, ménage stories, or simply just a good romance, you'd do well to take a dive into More. I am now going to dive into the second part of their story, More Than Most, myself, because I really want to know if/how these men get their HEA.
