Calista has always wanted to be a private detective. She's really a Kindergarten teacher, and ready to give e that up for a more exciting life. When the opportunity crosses her path, she jumps at the chance to prove her worth as a P.I. Around the same time, she meets an exciting new man, and things just keep getting better. When his brother shows up, she can't decide which one she wants more. Does she even have too? As her life starts to spin out of control and her case gets more dangerous Calista isn't so sure that being a P.I. is what she wants to do.

Benito is looking for a woman who can accept him and his brother as a lifelong package. He thinks he's found it in Calista, but now he has to convince his brother that she will accept them, right after he convinces her that two is better than one.

Dante doesn't want to be tied down in any way. When his brother comes up with this settling down idea, he hopes it's just a passing fantasy. When he meets Calista, all his protective instincts kick in, and he starts to wonder if settling down might not be such a bad thing after all, if it's with the right woman.

There was a lot going on in this one, and I liked how Benito fell for Calista almost instantly, but both Calista and Dante took a little while to trust each other. It was very believable that she could love both of them in the end, just in different ways. Her trying to crack a tough case that becomes dangerous is a wake up call for all three of them, and it makes them realize just how lucky they are to have found each other. She's not too sure that she can still be a teacher and have her fantasy, so there is a lot of strife going on. I liked the interactions between the characters, and really enjoyed reading this one. The sex is hot and heavy, and really keeps the fire burning between the three. I am looking forward to more from Jory Strong, she's always got a new twist.
