Thanks for the review. I was curious about this book.
Isn't it funny sometimes how we fangirls can read the most graphic fanfics, but when faced with details about something that really happened, it can be uncomfortable? I think I'd feel the same way. You did a pretty good job with it, though.
One thing, however: in your last line, you recommend this book for anyone curious about polyamory. But she's not really talking about polyamory, is she? Her book is more about a couple looking for a third for some hot fun, not a dyad looking to create a triad. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with threesome sex, but three lovers committing and building a life together is a whole other subject. It sounds like she hit on the main tenets of polyamory, though: communication, setting and respecting boundaries, and honesty.
So ... are we led to assume that Misha may have "experimented" with other males in the past? I wouldn't much care if he had, but I've got to admit it is a titillating thought. ;)
