Suspense romance.

A very interesting story line with lots of twists and turns. I don’t usually read anything dark or even suspense but I did enjoy this. I had a hard time keeping up sometimes because I feel like there were a lot of characters to keep up with. I thought I had it figured out but I did not lol. Some heated scenes but not too much. MMF. The narration was great. I love the tone of his voice. I want to find a good bedtime story for him to read to me, it would sooth me to sleep for sure, such a smooth voice. 🎧Audiobook obsession

Thrilling Story, Lovely Romance, & Great Narrator!

Layla Reyne does a lovely job with this romance. A second chance lovers story (x3) with cleverly constructed extenuating circumstances, and fascinating dynamics between the main characters.

I know to count on Ms. Reyne for a unique and creative mystery, and she's crafted a fine one in What We May Be. I'm glad I listened to it as an audiobook, the tension in those final chapters would have kept me up all night if I'd been reading it!

The audio is narrated by Christian Leatherman who does a stunning job! There's a massive array of supporting characters, with a variety of accents, and Mr. Leatherman has set the bar pretty high for my expectations of his future performances. And let's hope there are many more to come!

Crime and romance!

Charlie, Trevor and Sean were together and happy 10 yrs ago. When Sean left without a word everything crumbled. Now Charlotte has lost her dad and brother, and Sean comes back. Nut is he back for good? Meanwhile, there’s a serial killer on the loose and is somehow connected to the trio. There’s a perfect amount of suspense and romance for a throuple who struggles to come back together but when they do, they’re stronger than ever. It is a great listen!

Simply fantastic!

I am just WOW over this audiobook. I came for the relationship and the excitement of an MMF (not just MFM) relationship, but I truly stayed for the story. It was so intense and engaging. There were so many leads, so many suspects, so many secrets, and so many red herrings. So many times I was sure I had a suspect, then new information changed my mind, Back and forth, back and forth. The murders kept me enthralled, but so did the story of Sean, Trevor, and Charlie. Their story was as complex as the killings, and they all had secrets that impacted the relationship. I was surprised when I found out who was at the root of the separations.

The narrator was new to me and did an excellent job voicing the characters and their emotions.

I receive a free copy of this audiobook at my request and am voluntaily leaving this honest review.

Wonderful balance of crime and romance

This was a perfect blend of suspenseful crime story and super hot romance. Neither aspect dominated, the two were completely balanced and connected. It was a great choice to make Sean and Charlotte FBI and local detective so there was the natural job tension on top of the romantic history and I always enjoy academic characters so was delighted to see Trevor as a literature prof. The removal and return of Sean who is the catalyst for their romantic relationship gave the author a chance to explore interesting personal dynamics among the characters. The suspense and mystery of the crime plot thoroughly pleased this mystery/crime fan. Christian Leatherman did a wonderful job bringing all the varied characters to life. I look forward to more audiobook performances from him in the future.

Shakespeare’s Tragedies

Ménage books can often be a challenge – balancing the triad with the action going on around them. Making sure the relationship is important, but no the be-all and end-all. Sex is hot, but there needs to be substance behind both the characters and the plot. This book fits that fine balance.

Sean is introduced first. He comes back to Hanover for the funeral of two law enforcement officers. He sees the two loves from college – Trevor and Charlotte. The three had been together while in college, and all had looked good until Sean’s life was upended at graduation. He made the decision to leave and through miscommunication, Trevor and Charlie, as she’s known, never knew why. So, hurt feelings. Trevor and Charlie couldn’t make it work as a couple, so they split and moved on with their lives. Sean’s return has the three coming together again, but a happy ending looks out of reach.

Then a murder takes place, and Sean comes to investigate. Charlie is law enforcement for the town, so they’re thrown together. And although Trevor isn’t a cop, he becomes involved as his co-workers are being murdered. It’s up to the team to unravel the mystery before the final tragedy takes shape. I have to say, I loved how Shakespeare was woven into the story – having studied all four plays, I was able to follow along. Not a problem if you haven’t, Ms. Reyne gives you enough to work with.

I enjoyed the book, especially the dynamics between the three leads. Everything gets wrapped up after the climax and I was satisfied. I’ll also give a shout out to Christian Leatherman. I haven’t listened to him before, but I’ll be happy to pick him up again anytime.

Fantastic Story & Listen🎧 Captivating & Heartfelt!

I enjoyed this book immensely, it is a well written, multi-genre novel that is captivating from start to end. Layla Reyne is a gifted author. The characters and storylines she created are interesting and original and the plotting is phenomenal with a perfect balance of romance, heartfelt emotions, mystery, suspense and drama, both relationship and crime-drama. The characters are complex, easy to relate to and connect with, the three leads, Sean, Trevor and Charlotte aka Charlie, have a romantic history but it all ended when Sean left, the dynamics of the relationship was not the same for them. Trevor a literature professor at HU, the local college and Charlie is a detective with the local PD. The three were reunited after the funeral for Charlie’s father and brother who were killed in the line of duty. Charlie and Trevor were angry with Sean for his sudden departure but they spent the night together rekindling their love, only for him to disappear on them again. But a murder case brings Sean back to town, it turns out there is a serial killer hitting close to home and Charlie is on the case and Sean winds up helping, Trevor has his input as well. I loved how everything played out in this book, Charlie and Trevor finally get an answer to why Sean upped and left them which leads to a second chance romance, a perfect trifecta of hotness and a throuple in love. Layla Reyne, thank you for the awesome story and the thrilling and emotional rollercoaster ride, I loved every minute of it.

🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Christian Leatherman is a talented narrator and voice artist. He brings these characters to life, giving each their own voice and personality, as well as heart and attitude. His portrayal of the characters is spot on, he captures their emotions and projects them into his performance. He set the perfect tone for the story and handled the back-and-forth dialogue with ease, never missing a beat. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen.

Thank you #GRR

I couldn't put it down!

I loved this book when I read it back in August 2021 and I loved it all over again when I listened to it. Unless he performs under more names, this is the first book I’ve listened to performed by Christian Leatherman and I thought he did a great job. The various voices he used were distinctive and easy to understand. The creepy voice he used for the baddie was perfect.

Below are some comments I made in my review of the ebook:

Here’s yet another book where I don’t know how to begin my review. This story is fan-effing-tastic! It’s been ages since I read an MMF ménage book and I couldn’t have picked a better one to break that dry spell.

I haven’t read a lot of books by Layla Reyne (too many books, not enough time) but the ones that I have read I’ve loved. She is a very versatile writer, penning romantic suspense and contemporary romance equally well.

The blurb really doesn’t need any expounding on; it was definitely enough to make me want to read this story. This book had my emotions all over the place – up and down more than once. Layla Reyne was a master at giving readers more than one red-herring to follow. Just when I thought I had things figured out, she showed me that I wasn’t nearly as smart as I thought I was. 😊

There was one specific thing I really loved about this book (as well as many other things) and that was there was no shaming or negative comments about the poly relationship between Sean, Trevor and Charlie.

There were many great secondary characters in this book but I was particularly intrigued by Sean’s FBI friend, Marsh. I was really happy to read a note at the end of the book that indicates Marsh will be getting a series; I hope we don’t have to wait too long. 😊

A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me at my request but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.

Whatever will be will be

This is my first time reading Layla Reyne, she certainly has a way with words when it comes to a steamy ménage.

Charlotte, Trevor and Sean, three peas in a pod. They are a true thrupple. They do not function unless it's the three of them. Talk about commitment.

Lovers of steam and suspense will enjoy this one.

Christian Leatherman did great with the narration, but I think it was have been a better experience had it been DUAL POV.

Audio ARC received and I decided to leave an honest review.
