About this book
All Tony wanted was a job that didn't make his life harder.
Being a temp should have made it easier by letting him pick jobs that he was comfortable with. But bills needed to be paid, and he didn't have the luxury of turning jobs down. So when his boss offers him what sounds like the perfect job, he's afraid to hope he's finally found his place. After all, the job is only temporary. They wouldn't want to keep someone like him. Right?
Taron was starting to think he was the problem. Why else would he have gone through three secretaries in a matter of weeks? Granted, he had issues staying put, and he was known to make the occasional prank, but he wasn't that bad! So, after Avery went out of his way to find someone new, Taron promised to behave. And when he meets the newest addition, he's determined to keep that promise. Tony calls to him in a way no one else has before, and for once in his life, he wants to stay put. But when a past mistake starts looking in Tony's direction, he realizes that behaving might not be enough. Right?
Zephyr would admit to no one that he was still in love with his ex. So when there's an opportunity to work with him, he makes up an excuse and pretends he's only there for the project. Except Taron has his eyes on another, and it only took one conversation to figure out why. Tony is sweet and earnest, and in sore need of being taken care of. It wasn't possible to have them both. Right?
Tags: Good things come in threes; Tony has a tragic backstory; Taron wants to cuddle him; old rivals make a reappearance; Taron calls in a favor; being around out-of-control incubi is a recipe for disaster, or spicy times, take your pick; sharing is caring; they'll learn to get along for Tony; healing can be painful; Taron can't hide from the truth; nobody can hate Tony; guaranteed HEA.
Includes a bonus scene, "A Mating to Remember."

Amy has done it again. I can’t wait for the next book in the series and look forward to reading her other series as well. I enjoyed all of the books. They each have a unique tech on things in our sweet and heartwarming. I highly recommend each of these books. I do have to say that this one was my favorite. The storyline and characters were well developed, I enjoyed seeing the characters from previous books making an appearance, and I even enjoyed some of the saddest parts. Throughout the whole...

Tony is a human who was injured in the military. He's also the sweetest guy who always wants to help others and sometimes it's a detriment to himself. He gets a job through the agency to be Taron's secretary but in reality it's more of a toddler keeper because Taron is very quirky. He's always annoying others with his childlike behavior and glee. Tony thinks he's cute and it isn't an issue for him. Taron immediately recognizes that Tony is constantly in pain and makes it his mission to help him...

Poor Tony has been through so much, disabled, overworked, and just trying to survive, but he ends up with two powerful men who not only love him but make it their mission to give him the care and happiness he deserves 🥹💖 Taron and Zephyr’s initial tension? Delicious. They’re basically the same flavor of stubborn and snarky, so of course sparks fly before the love does ⚡ But their shared love for sweet Tony pulls everything together beautifully. Tender, spicy, and full of heart. The perfect...

I started this book feeling skeptical. I love a good MMM relationship, but only when I'm expecting it—and I went into this one completely blind. After finishing Book 1, I dove straight into Books 2 and 3 without reading the descriptions, eager to experience more of Amy Padilla’s writing. When Zephyr was introduced, I was surprised and, to be honest, a little annoyed. But his charm, laid-back personality, and the way he blended into the dynamic quickly won me over. The chemistry, emotional...

A BRILLIANT READ WITH A TERRIFIC CHARACTERS! I really ended up loving the dynamic and connection between Zephyr, Taron, and Tony. I really liked seeing these three ending up together. It took a bit of time, but it was so amazing with them. The story was very enjoyable, and characters are awesome. )
