Original Audiobook Listen November 2019:
I’ll admit, I was curious to see how Joel Leslie & Philip Alces would narrate three main characters to keep them “real”, keep them “separate” well I needn’t have worried because there is never any doubts between Lee, Jones, or Ginger in Triple Threat. Just as Davidson King uniquely defined each man, so did the narrators. We see yet another layer of the horrors lurking in and around Haven Hart but we also see yet another layer of heart and determination to put an end to said horrors. Again a great combination of storytelling and narration bringing the next chapter of Haven Hart Universe to life.
Original ebookReview July Book of the Month 2019:
I should start by saying M/M/M is not my go-to trope, I don’t go looking for them HOWEVER, if one turns up in a series I’m reading or mysteriously finds its way onto my kindle I won’t turn away from it?. Now because its not my normal trope of choice, I don’t have a wide variety of experience when it comes to the accuracy to how its written, nor do I know anyone in a poly relationship to make any realistic comparison. So because of my “lack of knowledge” I can only go by how each one is written and how it sucks me in. Well, Triple Threat is A-FREAKIN’-MAZING!!!!
For those who think M/M/M, menage, or poly romances are just porn without plot than you are in for the shock of your life when you open up Davidson King’s newest Haven Hart entry, Triple Threat. Oh, sure there’s heat, there’s lust, there’s sexy times that will set your kindle on fire but there is just so much more than the between-the-sheets(there’s some fumbling without the sheets too?) moments. As with the whole series, there is crime, drama, action, violence, drama, humor, mystery . . . well pretty much everything but sci-fi. So sit down, buckle up, and enjoy the ride.
Let’s take a look at the threesome, triad, throuple, or whatever label you choose to use. Lee and Jones have been around Haven Hart more than once and called in when their expertise is needed and lets face it, Haven Hart is in dire need of their services. I don’t think anyone was surprised to see them connected in more ways than on the job but Ginger on the other hand doesn’t exactly fit in on paper. Miss King made it reasonably clear in Snow Storm that the boys weren’t exactly unaffected by the younger man so it wasn’t a complete surprise to find him as the third side of their trio. As I said, on paper he doesn’t seem the type to connect with them but after only a page or two you know that he is exactly what Lee and Jones were missing to make them complete. Whether or not, they come to the same conclusion is something you have to read for yourself but I warn you once you start Triple Threat you won’t want to put it down.
Now I have personally made references in my previous reviews to the Star Wars saga and you’re probably wondering “you said this has everything but sci-fi so how can you connect them?” Obviously it isn’t a literal connection but the passion and draw that I always feel whenever I hear Darth Vadar’s entrance music or the hiss of the lightsaber or the whoosh as the Millenium Falcon finally goes into hyperdrive pretty much equals the natural high I get when reading Davidson King. She has this ability to not only create this amazing story with characters who are just out of reach and yet at the same time you feel like you’re going to run into them pumping gas and picking up eggs at the store but the city of Haven Hart is so visual I almost feel like I’m living there. As I’ve said before, there is a difference between an author and a storyteller, they are both great in their own ways but a storyteller has that extra something special connection with words, well Davidson King is a storyteller and I can’t wait to see what comes next.
One last note: Although each entry(except for Snow Storm) has a new pairing at its core, Haven Hart series is definitely a series that needs to be read in order. There is just too much ongoing plot and information that is underlying everything where each book puts just a little more of the puzzle together. So if you haven’t started this series yet be sure to begin at the beginning with Snow Falling and if you are someone who likes to wait till a series is complete because you can’t abide the wait in between releases, there is only one entry left to be written but be sure you put Haven Hart at the top of your TBR list.
