Three's a Charm
Dear Author,
The three of us have been best friends since forever. We were always outsiders, but that didn’t matter— we had each other. After we graduated from high school, we all moved in together and all the pent-up feelings between us just erupted and we became so much more than just friends. So much more! The sex was beyond hot, but that was only part of it. The most important part was our love for each other.
We became like one person, our hearts beat in tune with each other. But lately, I’ve felt one of my lovers moving away. I don’t understand. He says he still loves us just the same, but it’s like he’s slipping through our fingers. Is he jealous? He’s never seemed to be before… Has he met someone else? Is he just tired of us? One of us or both of us? I wish he would tell us, because my heart is breaking…
Photo Description:
Three Asian men are shirtless and intertwined with hands lovingly touching, connecting them intimately— in love with each other. The men are thin, delicate and beautiful, with exotic looks and breathtaking features.
This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's "Love Has No Boundaries" event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story.

About the author
C.R. Guiliano
44 books71 followersCR Guiliano has been an avid reader since the tender age of four. She discovered gay erotic romance and was so inspired by the sultry, yet touching romances that she added it to her growing genre of writing. She also writes fantasy, paranormal and scifi.
"I have to quiet the voices in my head somehow." She says with a laugh. Many a night she has been awakened by those voices, only to feverishly write down the gist of their clammering so she can flesh out (sometimes literally lol) the story later at a more respectable hour.
In her spare time, she is a single mother living in the desert of Arizona with her son and a multitude of cats...and one very sweet snake.

I love Asian MCs, and I don't mind menage stories if they're done well, but this was all telling, little showing.
The characters were one dimensional, and the main conflict was contrived and simplistic.

A beautiful picture prompt for the LHNB event and *drum roll* it's a ménage story.
This might come as a surprise, but I love love love m/m/m stories.
Here we have Yuu, a blackbelt and sort of the leader of this trio. Akira, he seems to be the middle, he sees that something's wrong, but can't seem to find out what. He is growing distrustful and resentful. Then there is Joji, he seemed like the 'baby'. He never really said anything in this short and was the smallest and the most cared for.
All in all a sweet story, there was a misunderstanding and I kept thinking it could have been cleared up easier and quicker. The names were also repeated often in this short, although I realize it's hard with three MCs to make it clear who's who.

Three's a Charm was written for the M/M Romance Group's Love Has No Boundaries picture prompt event. It's told in third person through the eyes of two of the MCs, Yuu and Akira.

This felt more like a fanfiction than a real piece of literature. I skimmed through it.

I got tired of one character always described as short. Did he not have a personality? Just size?
The bully was almost a charicature, though everything worked out in the end.

This was my second m/m/m story, but once again, it is just not my thing. I do like the characters, and this story actually has plot, but I should avoid m/m/m+ stories. Once again, my rating is based on personal preference, but people who enjoy menage will probably like this story.

3.5 the end was too rushed for me but other than that I loved the story.

A very touching story of love and caring. Of being honest and working together for a solution.

I wanted to like this story more because I really enjoy this author. It was sweet, but too simplistic for me.
