Trent Jackson is a single dad, doing the best he can to raise his son Oscar. He hadn’t realized how lonely he’d become until Arlo Wheeler strolls into his life. A devoted househusband, Arlo becomes the friend Trent didn’t know he needed.
The two become fast friends, getting closer than either of them ever expected. So close, in fact, that Arlo’s wife Cara grows concerned; several of her friends consider Trent and Arlo the cutest gay couple in town.
Their new friendship doesn’t seem to have boundaries—finally they admit their attraction for each other, but then they must figure out how to preserve their relationship and Arlo and Cara’s marriage.
Trapped between their love for each other and their devotion to their families, their happiness depends on Cara’s willingness to redefine the very nature of her marriage to Arlo. Is their bond strong enough to welcome Trent to share it with them?

Xavier Mayne is one of my favorite authors. My husband and I have re-read this story and were able to really talk about our lives and what we want out of our relationship through the eyes of this character. The affection between the best friends is amazing and I love the bucking of traditional gender roles. All three adults are better parents because they have found a way to make their lives work for them and fulfill them. I would absolutely suggest, especially if - like my husband and I - monogamy with one person isn't necessarily the best option for you.Product details

We Are Fallingwater edition by Xavier Mayne Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This book was fantastic.The building of the relationship between Arlo and Trent was phenomenal, you really got to see their friendship develop and build. A lot of time was spent developing their friendship and relationship as whole and one would think it would be overkill, but it was perfect. It made it all the more perfect when they got together. I love reading books about relationships that started out as friendships. Most M/M and F/F books I read don't take the time to REALLY let the characters develop a relationship before throwing them together and having them fall in love. It always sees rushed. No this book, nothing seemed forced or unnatural everything happened sort of organically. Trent and Arlo were and are truly friends before there was even a mention of anything sexual or physical. There are some many great things about this book the characters were phenomenal and thoroughly developed, the book didn't overly fixate on the physical appearance of its characters and the two main characters fell in love with one another because of their personalities. The only thing I had a problem with was Trent and Cara seemed to fall in love with one another rather quickly. Their bonding and friendship building was more or less glossed over then all of a sudden he was in love with her, it was weird. He didn't spend as much time with Cara as he did Arlo or even their kids for that matter, but they have sex and he's starting to falling love with her? That really put me off. Despite this one caveat the book was great, I read it in one sitting.
I love menage stories when they are well done, but the balance of a relationship between more than two partners is a difficult balancing act. They all have to be interesting characters in their own right and each partner needs to have chemistry with the other partners. I’m so glad the reference to the Fallingwater house (which I love) made me interested in reading this book. Arlo and Cara’s marriage has such a strong foundation of trust and love that it doesn’t fall apart even when all boundaries fall between Arlo and his new friend Trent.
Previous works of this author were fun and at times unexpectedly insightful, but I am glad Xavier Mayne decided on a more serious approach with this book. That does not mean it is not fun. I had a blast reading this book. It had me smiling, chuckling and laughing out loud. There are wonderful humorous moments and a lot of light-hearted fun, especially in the banter between Arlo and Trent. However, this book is not just a fun fantasy, but takes the exploration of sexuality and gender norms and the relationship between these three well-crafted characters very serious.
The book takes a lot of time to develop the relationships, especially between Arlo and Trent. I would have loved for Cara to have been part of this dynamic earlier, because she is such a fantastic character, but I think every reader will appreciate how open-minded, understanding and all-around wonderful she is and how important her role is in making this whole thing work. Still, I would have enjoyed if the author had spent more time exploring the connection between Cara and Trent, before it became vital for them to hit it off in a big way.
In the beginning we see the budding bromance between Arlo, a stay-at-home dad and Trent, a single dad slowly being crushed by the responsibilities of his fatherhood, even as he tries to do everything right for his son. Both men love their kids and the friendship they form is beautiful and pure. We also see Arlo with his wife and the beautiful trust and love between them. They are perfect for each other and belong together, even if Cara is often gone.
I have to admit that some of the situations in this book made me feel a bit uncomfortable, because the boundaries between these two men really are pushed and broken between these men in a way that takes the term ‘bromance’ to a whole other level. It is the innocence of their affection and the open and fearless way all three characters respond to it that made it work for me.
So often there are books filled with idiotic and unnecessary misunderstandings that artificially drive a wedge between characters. It was really refreshing to have characters communicate openly with each other. I enjoyed it so much! In the end, given how much certain boundaries are pushed and how complicated everything is, the events of this book almost seem too easy and angst-free and the characters too ‘good’. On the other hand, we live in times where honest communication, respect and understanding no longer seem as important to many people. Seeing these characters embrace those values and navigating a very difficult situation in such a graceful way gives me hope.
These characters may not be real, but they feel real and what they stand for is beautiful. I want to aspire to be as open-minded and fearless in my love. This story has touched me deeply and I can strongly recommend reading it.
My Rating
8.5/10 Pots of Gold (85% Recommended) - Compares to 4.25/5 Stars
I'm a huge Xavier Mayne fan. His writing is consistently good. I highly recommend this book.
Enjoy a non-traditional love story as an act of defiance against the bigotry and hatred swirling in our country! We Are Fallingwater provides a lovely and steamy window into a love triangle that defies the usual connotation of that phrase.
I'm an enthusiastic fan of the Brandt-Donnely saga and hoped the series would continue. So, I was ecstatic to purchase this unappealing book. Gosh, the two whimsy male protagonists (heterosexual/bi???) are completely controlled by dominant females. This and the plot are repugnant. It seems that the writer should stick to straight genre. If a reader is interested in alpha males who can form a commitment, one needs to read female authors; they have the edge on mm romance.
I enjoy menage stories, but so often they devolve into a series of sexcapades. I love a well-written sex scene, but I need character development and plot too. This story was terrific in those terms. It was very thoughtful about gender roles and stereotypes. I also felt the characters were very real as were their struggles--including what was going on with the little kids. The relationship developed in a steady, believable way that had me rooting for the characters. Highly recommend.
