Misfits By Garrett Leigh | Cat's Audiobook review & #giveaway @RiptideBooks @Garrett_Leigh @CraigBeck



Restaurant owner Tom Fearnes has loved his partner Cass for as long as he can remember, but their work often keeps them apart. When he meets a striking young man named Jake on the vibrant streets of Camden Town, their heady first encounter takes an unexpected turn.

Jake Thompson can hardly believe his luck when he wakes up in Tom’s bed. Tom is gorgeous, kind, and . . . taken. Tom’s explanation of his open relationship leaves Jake cold, but Tom is too tempting, and when hard times force Jake to accept Tom’s helping hand, he finds himself between two men who’ve lost their way. 


Cass Pearson is a troubled soul. He loves Tom with all he has, but some days it feels like he hasn’t much to give. Jake seems like the perfect solution. Cass risks everything to push Jake and Tom together, but Jake resists, wary, until the darkness of Cass’s past comes to call. Then Jake finds himself the last man standing, and it’s time to dig deep and shine a light for the men he’s grown to love.

"Three is better than two"
Overall
Performance
Story
Would you listen to Misfits again? Why?
Yes. I could Listen to Craig better over and over. The story is good as well.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Misfits?
When Cam got his phone call near the end

Which scene was your favorite?
All f them with Jake. His Ticks really added to the story.

Any additional comments?
Misfits is a very angsty, poignant story of three men.
Tom and Cam have been in an open relationship for a long time. It works well for them. The are partners in several restaurants, and Tom is working on opening another. He stops for lunch and meets Jake a waiter with Turrets syndrome. He takes a shine to Jake quickly.

Jake is a young man with Turrets and has a hard time keeping a job. Waiting tables is mostly what he can get and that never lasts long. His dream is in graphic design and websites. He meets Tom, but when he finds out about Cam, he isn't sure he wants to be involved. Then he becomes friends with Cam, at first mostly through text and phone calls.

Cam is from a low-income family and has a bad past. He still has the habit of running whenever things get heavy for him. He worries some that Tome will replace him with Jake, the other part does want them all together.

Misfits is a great threesome story. I loved the slow build of the relationship, not the way most threesome hop into bed at once and then it's all sex all the time. Misfits is more about the relationship, needs and how these men fit together so well and not about the sexual relationship.

If you like chefs, businessmen, men with disabilities, Turrets syndrome, angst, and hot threesomes, then you will love this one.

  3. It is difficult to find a well written threesome that isn't just sex filled :D (not that those aren't fun sometimes!) I have found a few that really take into account the unique difficulties that can arise when you add another person to an already established/healthy/working relationship. It looks like Misfits might be added to that list for me. Thank you for the review!
