Of Dark and Bright

It's been far too long since I was back with Dan, Jeff, and Evan. Some of you might be wondering why it took me so long, considering the rapid-fire pace with which I read the first two books and the novellas in Kate Sherwood's 'Dark Horse' series. Well, life intervened, but when I was ready to read again, I wanted the comfort of the familiar combined with the excellence of the writing this author produces.
I'd almost forgotten the sheer joy these three men bring to me. Dan, always so cautious about committing, Evan, ready to jump in with both feet, and Jeff, always there to lead, to take charge, and to be the peacekeeper. They're going to need all of their strengths to deal with the appearance of Krista, Dan's little sister, who has federal warrants out on her for ten years of theft and assorted other criminal activities. She suddenly contacts Dan, wants to turn herself in, and she's seven months pregnant. This is quite a load of crap to get dumped on anyone, and this trio has only been together for two years, sometimes they're still figuring their stuff out.
“Like I said, you should talk to a lawyer. But don’t take too long—if you don’t want to pay for the baby, I need to find someone who will.”
Wow. Great baby Mama, huh? With Krista working her manipulations among all three of the guys, it's no wonder things fall apart for awhile. It's all the same issues Dan, Evan, and Jeff have always struggled through. Evan keeping it secret from Dan that he's going to buy Krista's baby. Dan keeping it a secret from both Evan and Jeff that Krista tried to make a deal with him for that. And Jeff keeping a secret about his health so the other two don't get upset. At some point this is all going to implode, and if Dan can't get past some of his issues regarding Evan, money, and commitment, and Evan can't stop charging ahead and expecting Jeff to fix everything, and if something serious happens to Jeff without everything being said that needs to be said...... that's going to be a giant explosion.
Boom! Except not the way I was expecting. I love Kate Sherwood for always throwing me off my game. This was an incredible finale to an amazing series. I can't even begin to recommend it enough. The writing is phenomenal, the conflicts are real and emotional, the sexual intensity is spot on, and the characters are so easy to love. Thank you, Kate!

Jeff, Evan, and Dan have been living together for the past two years.
Until Dan’s long-lost sister comes back to his life and even under the protection and generosity of Evan , she can make life complicated.
Evan, Jeff and Dan need to be united and need to learn to trust each other , accept help from their family and love their own like never before.
They can accomplish anything they want together and they have to do it now more than ever.
Forgiveness and love can be the key to their happiness and happily ever after ... but they have to fight for it.
