The Rules
He couldn’t imagine being with anyone else, or even with just Boris or just Thomas. He needed both of them. They interconnected like the pieces of a puzzle—a wonderful puzzle with a complicated picture full of books and exotic foods and paintings and beautiful naked men… and lots and lots of naughty bits.
At the end of the year, when I reflect on what books have been the best of the best, it will be those books that I still remember scenes, remember characters, and while I may not be able to remember every detail it will be those books that are different enough and touching enough that they have grabbed hold and not let go.
I am pretty certain that “The Rules” we will one of those books. What I love about this is that it is not your typical romance and these are certainly not your typical men. There is absolutely no character I have ever read about like Boris. He is undoubtedly one of a kind.
And like all MMM romances, this is not a relationship that can be easily written. And for me there are not many that work really really well. This one, for me, did. And I think a lot of that not only had to do with Boris but in the complete and total honest and quite blunt actions these men take. And the fact that jealousy DOES come into play was realistic to say the least.
There are some MMM books where one of the men makes statements like, “Why would I be jealous? I mean, I know he loves me.” Do you really?? I say horseshit, honestly. If you do not experience jealousy in regards to your loved one then for me it comes across more that you just don’t really care. Caring is an emotion, jealousy is an emotion, claiming someone as yours and wanting no one else to touch what is yours is an emotion. And what I love about this story is their methods and conversations to deal with these emotions in a positive way. There is TRUST that is built between them. There are boundaries and rules and ways of touching one another that is done in such a way that it forges this bond between them that is built quite beautifully together as three.
There is not much I want to really say about them for fear of saying too much and spoiling this quite humorous, touching and rather emotional journey.
