Can you ever have a second first time? Josh Carver thinks it's just another lunch with his best friend, Michael-until Michael confesses he just turned down a date with his hot veterinarian crush. It seems Michael's abusive ex left him more scarred than Josh realized. Josh and his husband, Ian, have done their best to help Michael leave his horrific past behind, but even Josh is stunned when Ian suggests that Josh help Michael with his fear of physical intimacy. After all, it isn't like it would be the first time-Josh and Michael were once each other's firsts. A hesitant first kiss, and Josh and Michael's natural attraction eases the way. But with Michael still balking at the prospect of sex with someone new, Ian steps into the breach. Everything is fine and dandy until emotions become so entangled, their friendship-and a marriage-could be at risk. Warning: Contains three guys who will do anything for each other, a hot tub that's always the right temperature, and a cat with an attitude problem.

Amazing story, but overpowered with repetitious sex.
By Erica L. Chilson
I received a copy of this title to Read & Review for Wicked Reads
3 stars
Trigger Warning: Domestic Violence. While this book doesn't engage in DV and is about overcoming the trauma, it revisits past agony and assault. I'm not guessing this may or may not trigger someone who has lived through a similar situation; I am someone who was triggered while reading. So if you aren't healed enough to deal, or want a book where you're not thrust in your past, please give this book a pass.
With all that being said, I thought the domestic violence thread of the book was done with great compassion, understanding, and realism. For a survivor who has traveled far enough in their journey of healing, they will find comfort in portions of the book. 5 stars on the way this delicate issue was handled.
What He Left Behind was a scorching HOT read. I was drawn instantly, knowing where the book was going to go, but couldn't stop myself from reading. I was shocked at the dynamic between the men. A happily married couple, and their friend who is dealing with the aftermath of an abusive relationship. All three men are very mature and understanding in their situation. There are no miscommunications, misunderstandings, or unnecessary angst. It was very adult.
Where the book didn't work for me: every scene became repetitious after the beginning, to the point there were no scenes involving anything but sex. Perhaps a mention of everyday life, but it would devolve to sex again in the exact same formula. Even a highly emotional scene would devolve to getting off. It was 10% storyline at this point and 90% sex the reader had already had a bird's eye view into. I wanted more of that 10%, because is was a outstanding 10%.
Less is more. Make me earn it, hunger for it. Seduce me (the reader) as if I were a character in the story. Don't just put out constantly on every page, or I won't appreciate you and I'll take you for granted.
In the beginning of the book, that book that was so scorching hot was replaced with similar scenes that I skimmed. The hard-hitting honesty of the very real after-effects of domestic violence was lessened by sex. The emotional aspects (& I did get emotional over and over while reading this book as the author was very gifted at tearing emotions out of me) were negated by the overuse of sex as the vehicle to push the story, when the story would have been more than capable to drive and navigate.
The domestic violence, the aftermath, the emotions involved during this type of arrangement, and the very real feelings the three men experienced, were written with a great amount of compassion, understanding, and realism... the excess of sex cheapened something that could have been a profound read.
I know I'm coming off as a prude. I mean, 20+ scenes of similar nature, involving the same characters, set up, and formula, no matter what the content involves, will become repetitious, redundant, and drag a story down.
There was something I couldn't put my finger on, and it just now came to me. There was little to no conflict in the story. Everyone was so understanding. The entire time I was reading the book I was waiting for the abusive ex to reappear for some reason, giving all three men a feeling of vindication. It wasn't until I was finished reading and read another review that I realized this never transpired. & I feel it was necessary to keep the book from having the same feel from start to end- no rise, fall, or crescendo.
Would I recommend this title: YES. Hell, yes! M/M erotica fans will go insane for the between the sheets actions. However, M/M romance and contemporary fans may be put off a bit as what they are longing to have more of is pushed beneath the bed the characters are using, over and over again.
Would I read more by this author: Yes, absolutely. I'd give this author a few more tries.

Quite entertaining/interesting twist on handling of PTSD - 4,5 stars
By JustMe
Josh and Ian have been happily married for a decade. They have a friend, Michael, who has been through a rough experience that left him in tatters.
Michael and Josh have been friends since forever. They have been each other's first experience, but they seemed never to be on the same page, so when Josh met Ian he fell in love and after some (just hinted) problems, they married. They live a quiet life with a rescue dog and a rescue cat. The dog loves everybody and the cat hates Josh, while only tolerating Ian.
Michael had started his relationship with Steve about the same time Josh and Ian married. But unlike their relationship, his was very poisonous. Domestic violence is unacceptable, but still happens too often. Fortunately there are only hints and no details of what has happened to Michael. But it has been serious enough to cost him his dream of becoming a veterinary. He had to settle for less, even if he still works with animals.
Michael confides in Josh about his inability to tolerate physical contact of any kind. It's then Ian proposes to Josh to help Michael. After all they know each other intimately and Michael seems confortable with Josh.
Step by step Michael relaxes and becomes more courageous. But all this puts a strain on Josh. Not quite comfortable with being unfaithful, even if he has his husband's blessing. And then there are his ever present, although slumbering, feelings for Michael.
All this is written from Josh's point of view, so we can only guess what Michael and Ian are thinking. Well, except that Michael is thankful, that much is obvious.
At the end they are planning on buying a larger bed. After all - one cat, two dogs and three men need more space (wink, wink).

This story offered a fresh twist on a ménage while exploring the different dynamics of friendship.
By Sinfully
It’s been five years since Michael left his abusive boyfriend Steve. Five years of counseling and support from his friends Josh and Ian. Michael has been on some dates in that time, but panics at the thought of getting physical with anyone. His counselor suggests a sex therapist but he is uncomfortable thinking about opening up like that with a stranger. Michael and Josh are best friends that have known each other since they were kids. They were each other’s firsts and slept together on and off until Josh married Ian, but never actually dated. Ian and Josh have been together for ten years. Prior to meeting each other neither had considered long-term monogamy, but they are both committed to their marriage and have a closed relationship.
When Josh tells Ian about Michael’s issues, Ian comes up with an idea that is either brilliant or insane. Believing Josh may be the only one Michael will be comfortable enough to try to get intimate with, Ian encourages Josh to do whatever Michael needs to move on. Even after considering the potential pitfalls of the plan, Josh still isn’t prepared for the emotions and problems that arise. When it seems that Michael is almost ready to give dating a try again and get physical with someone who is not Josh, Ian becomes the perfect person to test that. One of the biggest hurdles that the men failed to consider is what happens when Michael is finally ready to move on?
At first I balked. On the one hand, this whole “sexual healing” situation could spiral out of control in so many ways and could wind up hurting all three men, why would any of them even want to go through with it? On the other hand, the men all love and trust each other at least as friends. Everyone starts off on the same page, with the same goals, so it would seemingly be the best situation to make Michael comfortable. What really won me over to the idea was the open communication, especially between Josh and Ian. The two men have one of the strongest, honest relationships I’ve read in a long time. Little is ever held back between them and they act like rational adults.
I thought L.A. Witt did a great job laying out the story and anticipating the questions and emotions her readers may have. Every time I spotted a potential issue or was wondering what on earth someone was thinking, I found it addressed soon after. The drama never felt manufactured and didn’t get over the top. It flowed naturally from the situation as Josh spends more time in bed with Michael and he becomes conflicted about how he is feeling towards Michael and how it is affecting his marriage even in the small ways such as missing out on time together with Ian. While I would have liked to be in Ian’s head a few times, the story is told strictly from Josh’s POV.
Of course, I can’t leave off without discussing the frequent sex scenes which cover every possible combination between the three men both as couples and as a threesome. L.A. Witt definitely writes sex hot enough to melt your Kindle. Beyond that though is the love, respect and tenderness that is there even when the sex is hard and rough.
This story offered a fresh twist on a ménage while exploring the different dynamics of friendship, love and marriage and I recommend it to any m/m/m fan.
