And Mistress Makes Three is a compelling romance novel that has betrayal, guilt, friendship, and love. There are two main plots happening simultaneously. Francis Ray does an awesome job of developing both plots separately and together. The main characters and secondary characters are also very well developed. And Mistress Makes Three is a really well written novel that I feel is a must read.
