Review: "Three-Way Tie" by M.Q. Barber (Neighborly Affection #3.5)

Henry Webb is getting both his submissives, Jay Kress and Alice Colvin, for a day of shopping. He's already selected what they'll be wearing and while they'll all be looking good in their outfits, it's what's underneath that Henry has put special thought and care into coming up with. They'll be tied up (pun intended) with shopping for Thanksgiving but, at the end of the day, the rewards for their good behavior should be worth the wait.

Three-Way Tie is a short story in the Neighborly Affection series and is to be read after the first three full-length novels. It was originally released as part of the First Frost anthology but was later released on its own. This was a really quick read but one that gives fans of the series another chance to see our favorite trio out and about in public. Aside from being lovers, they've truly become a family, even going on outings to prep for the holidays.

I have yet to find anything negative to say about any of the books in this favorite series of mine story- or character-wise, but I do feel the need to point out that I'm not a fan of the cover for this short story. The three people on the cover don't really look like any of the ones on the past covers. The guy on the left looks a tad too young to be Henry and the guy on the right just doesn't scream "Jay" to me. The girl looks, well, out of place. Sorry. :(

The last part of the story gives readers an idea of one particular "game" that fellow fans and I will eagerly await in a future book. I know book four is a prequel in that it tells the tale of how Henry and Jay met and developed their relationship as dominant and submissive because I have the ARC ready and waiting to be read and reviewed. :) So, fingers crossed that book five has Alice's birthday in it. Hint, hint. ;) Three-Way Tie gets five stars. ♥
