What starts as a night of hot, three-way sex becomes a lot more. The two cops fulfill Mason’s submissive fantasies, but they also meet a more basic need, comfort. They want to take care of Mason, to offer him unconditional friendship, but their concern for him unnerves Mason more than even the kinkiest sex.
To find happiness with his new partners, Mason must
change his belief that love is as much a fantasy as a pair of gorgeous,
handcuff-wielding cops landing in his bed.
I love the opening
line for this book, two cops walk into a bar...
Jack and Gray walk into Nathan's bar to see if the employees have seen anything suspicious. Several businesses in the area have been robbed as of late, and they are walking the beat to try to find someone that has seen something. What they find is the shy, sexy bartender, Mason. Over the next few weeks Jack and Gray spend a lot of their off time in the bar. Mason can't help but stare, appreciatively. He picks up on subtle touches and signs that convey Jack and Gray are partners in both their personal and professional lives. Mason doesn't even pick up on the not so subtle stares that Jack and Gray toss his way.
Jack and Gray finally put the move on Mason and the three of them have a mind blowing night together. Mason assumes it was meant to be a one-time thing, but when they ask him to stay, and them Jack makes breakfast, Mason is slightly bewildered. It would be so easy for Mason to slide right into a relationship with the two gorgeous Cops, but a past similar experience did not end well, so Mason is hesitant. Regardless of his hesitancy, Mason quickly realizes he can't say no to them. The three of them settle into what dangerously resembles a relationship, though the words are never spoken. When the three men start to feel something more than just friendly towards each other, Mason freaks out and runs, convinced that this time will be no different than the last.
Let me just get it out of the way, the angst and lack of communication for a good two thirds of the book drove me infrigginsane! These were three grown ass men, at any point in time Mason could have voiced his feelings, so could Gray. So that aspect of the story bothered me. That being said, I loved everything else. It was interesting to listen as Gray and Jack took Mason to a place he didn't even realize he wanted to be. How the three of them complimented each other in a way. Mostly, Mason is scared shitless that if he voices his feelings out loud, they won’t be returned and he’ll be heart broken.

Gray is the obvious
Dom in the relationship, but there were times when even Gray needed to let
things go and Jack took charge. There was a lovely curve ball when it came to
the schematics of the threesome, who was where and such, and it really gave the
book more depth in my opinion. The story was narrated by Greg Boudreaux (the
spicier side of narrator Greg Tremblay) and he did such an amazing job with
this book. There’s no question that he has probably the most versatile palate
when it comes to audio books, but I thought he went above and beyond for this book.
I found myself at times just sitting frozen as I listened to Mason, the tones
and inflections that made his confusion real somehow, I almost cried for him.
Then there was that growl for Gray that made me want to be on the receiving end
of… you get the picture.
If you are a fan of
the Author, the narrator, or super sexy threesome stories, you should give this
title serious consideration. To spite the fact I wanted to bang Mason and
Gray’s heads against the wall every now and then, I really enjoyed this audio.

Excerpt for Fitting In by Silvia Violet
Two
cops walked into a bar. Mason, the bartender, waited for the punch line,
because no way in hell were these ridiculously hot men real cops. They were one
hundred percent fantasy material. He hoped to hell they were strippers, and
they’d be willing to do a private performance for him.
Their dark blue uniforms were snug, hugging their bodies in all the right places. The taller of the two men was big enough to bench-press Mason. His shirt looked like it might burst at the seams, and Mason hoped it would. Dark, wavy hair fell over his forehead and softened the hard lines of his face. His eyes were dark without being warm, just right for a cop.

His shirt looked like it might burst at the seams, and Mason hoped it would. Dark, wavy hair fell over his forehead and softened the hard lines of his face. His eyes were dark without being warm, just right for a cop.
His
partner was shorter, about Mason’s own five foot eleven or so. He had buzz-cut
dirty blond hair and blue eyes. He looked younger than his partner, like he
hadn’t been out of the academy for long, but he was just as ridiculously hot as
the bigger man. His looks were the all-American-boy type. He’d probably played
baseball in school and won the heart of every girl he smiled at. He was a
perfect counter to his partner’s rough, domineering appeal. They could play a
scintillating game of good cop, bad cop, and Mason would love for them to play
it with him.
If
Mason were in a porno, the cops would cuff him and drag him to a back room
where they would proceed to plow his ass until he couldn’t stand up. Sadly,
this was real life. They were probably relentlessly straight and only here for
a beer.
They
headed toward the end of the bar by the register where there weren’t any customers
during the midafternoon lull.
“What
can I get for you, officers?” Mason asked.
The
big one smiled. “Anything cold.”
The
shorter man punched his partner’s arm. “Nothing. Thank you. We’re here on
official business.”
The
big man rolled his eyes. “Can’t I at least get a soda?”
“Fine.
Two Cokes please.”
Mason
was glad to have the simple task of scooping ice and pouring fountain drinks to
distract himself for a few minutes. What official business would they have
here? While the occasional fistfight broke out, most typically during the NCAA
basketball tournament, Nathan’s Public House was hardly a hotbed of crime.
He
picked up the drinks and faced them again, willing his hands to stop shaking.
It wasn’t like he hadn’t served plenty of attractive men in the past. What was
it about these two that had him so stirred up?
He
set the drinks on the bar in front of them and watched as they both took a sip.
His cheeks heated when he realized he was staring, openmouthed, at the flex of
muscles in the bigger man’s throat as he swallowed.
Focus,
Mason, focus. “So…um…what kind of business brings you here?”
The
shorter man smiled and held out his hand. “I’m Officer Jack Abney, and this is
my partner, Gray Sadler. We want to talk to the staff who were working last
night when Gino’s was robbed in case anyone might have seen or heard something
that will help with the investigation.”
Mason
took Jack’s hand. His skin was softer than Mason expected, and he held Mason’s
hand a few seconds longer than he needed to. “Um…I’m Mason Shields.”
“Nice
to meet you, Mr. Shields,” Jack said, grinning.
