Misadventures in a Threesome
by Elizabeth Hayley
Jasmine Pritchett needs a job. A pathway to financial independence. When Transform, the local gym, initiates an expansion to offer fitness classes, she sees her opportunity. Armed with several instructor certifications and even more persistence, she finds herself interviewing for the job in front of two of the sexiest men she’s ever laid eyes on.
Maddox Gibson craves control. He’s been trying to regain his zest for life since being discharged from the army, and with the help of his best friend, Wilder Vaughn, he’s worked his way from rock bottom to find happiness as a successful gym co-owner.
Wilder lives life like his name implies—wildly—and without Maddox’s rigid temperament to keep him grounded, his lighthearted impulsiveness could very well get him into trouble.
When these two beefy best buds invite Jasmine into their friendship, sparks fly quickly, and Jasmine tries to convince them she can be so much more. To both of them.
Can Jaz, Mad, and Wild figure out how to navigate a polyamorous relationship without destroying their friendship…and their hearts?

This book was only okay for me. Misadventures in a Threesome is about Jaz, Maddox and Wilder. Maddox and Wilder are best friends who own a gym. Jaz is their new employee who will teach exercise classes. They all become good friends and, gradually, the men come to like Jaz as more than a friend. They have never had a menage relationship and find it too weird for them at first, but they do agree to begin to both date her separately. Together, they have to maneuver their boss-employee relationship, as well as how to date Jaz and not hurt the men's friendship.
This book took quite a while to get going and for me to get used to the writing style. It was slow and there was a lot of set-up, but no talk of attraction, between the characters who are expected to fall in love, until around 37%. I felt no chemistry. There were several pet peeves of mine included, as well. Such as, a hero who gets sloppy, fall-down drunk is a big turn-off. Still, as the book went on, I did start to like it more. It is a pretty slow burn (I felt very little burn), friends to lovers book. Also, this is a MFM book, but it is more like a MF book with two heroes. The relationships between Jaz and Maddox and Jas and Wilder are pretty much separate. I did feel 'like' between the men and Jaz, but not love. There is no talk of love at all or of the future (besides living together). I'm not even sure if I'd call this an HFN. They end up just casually dating. I just don't see much between the trio but physical and can't see their relationship lasting.
Overall, this book was not terrible, but not very good for me. I love MFM done right, but I didn't love the way it is done in this book. This is my first book by Elizabeth Hayley and I'm not sure if I would read anything by her again.
