PARADISE FOUND

Cameron and Mark are lovers looking to add a little bit of spice to their relationship. They head to Anguilla for a vacation with the idea that a fling with a sexy stranger may be exactly what they need. As soon as they meet Philip, they know he is the one they want. Philip is there with some classmates celebrating his recent graduation, and upon meeting the attractive couple he decides to have one last night of fun before settling down at his dad's law firm. But when Cameron delivers a spanking to Philip during their lovemaking, Philip is surprised by the act...and how much he likes it. The three men return to their regular lives, but none of them can stop thinking about that night. They will each have to face their personal demons though if they want to find the happiness they experienced for that brief time in paradise.

PARASIDE FOUND by Hunter Raines is a fun and sexy story of m/m/m ménage. The sex scenes are super hot and there are plenty of them. (Be forewarned that the sex scenes focus on the dominant/submissive relationship, and although they are not hardcore if you don't like that genre then this probably isn't the book for you.) In addition to great sex, Raines depicts likeable characters and intriguing personal relationships. The fact that there are three people involved in the dom/sub relationship makes for a very interesting story, especially since each man has a different role and point of view. Cameron is an experienced top, Philip is a natural bottom, and Mark struggles to find his place in this world. Although the three could naturally bond over their instant connection, they are each internally conflicted about who they are and what they want. Cameron gave up the dom/sub game when he met Mark, Philip decided to give up the gay life altogether to fit in at his dad's law firm, and Mark doesn't understand how he can be simultaneously jealous and aroused by the connection between the other two men. These conflicts give the story a lot of substance and make it more than just hot sex scenes between three sexy men. There is also a very clear lesson that you can't be happy unless you accept yourself for who you are. My one complaint about the story is that it is a little too short. It is novella length, and I think it could easily have been fleshed out a bit more. I would have liked to see a little more of the trio struggling with their personal issues and the inevitable jealously that a ménage stirs up. Despite the short length, I would definitely recommend Paradise Found to anyone who enjoys the gay romance, ménage, or dom/sub genres.

SUMMARY

Paradise is just an illusion... Or so Philip thinks as he vacations on exotic Anguilla. He should be celebrating the end of law school and the start of his successful career, but he's tired of living a lie for his family's sake. For just one night, he lets down his guard with two men he thinks he'll never see again. He isn't the only one with secrets. For years, Cameron Drake has suppressed his need for dominance, afraid of hurting his lover, Mark Wilder. But when Cameron's hand meets Philip's ass, there's no more pretending. Mark can't face his conflicting feelings about the ménage; does Cameron want more than Mark can give? The three of them may have been perfect together but consequences follow them back to their real lives. Will their desire for another encounter shatter the illusions they've built to protect themselves or clear the obstacles to paradise?
