"An excellent continuation of the series - Memoirs of a Houseboy. This is a more intense book than the first two, in which Gilli
is trying to come to terms with his two partners forming a Civil Partnership. Fun with Dick and Shane, and More Fun with Dick
and Shane are the first two books in the series. Laugh out loud funny, poignant, and sometimes heartbreaking, you won't
be sorry you visited Gilli's world. In my opinion, an exceptional series in this genre with a LOT more character development and
substance than I've found in other books of this type. Adult readers only."

- I give 5 stars for the book, it gets better and better. I give Shane a big ol' whopping 1 star in this book - I totally had sympathy for Gillie and his sense of not being an equal partner in the triad. Yes, he showed it in his typically immature fashion and should have done as he suggested to himself and just said what he was worried about but still, I spent most of the book disgusted with Shane - most of the time I think he only has Gillie around because Dick "loves" him and that he has no true feelings for Gillie one way or the other. I almost wish that Gillie had moved out of their bedroom for a while, or even the house, to show just how insecure and unsure he felt - that might have shaken Shane up a bit but he didn't and I have a big ol' sigh about that.
- Not much to say ...read the series ...Gilli is still Gilli... I marvel at the men's patience ... must be love! OK ... this wasn't exactly complete. As mentioned in other reviews, I really enjoy moving through the life of Gilli with Gilli. He definitely makes me laugh and even cry at times and although his constant whining gets a bit irritating, I understand it fully (and even recognize it in my younger self). It amazes me that no matter what gender or sexual lifestyle, we are all basically the same emotionally. Gilli and his mates explore all sorts of emotions ... I can't wait to read the next book! Thank you, Gilli ... although I think I'd slap you silly sometimes if I knew you, your story touches me.
- as entertaining as this series is, on a personal level i wish Gilli would leave his daddies behind. it seems that what he craves in actuality is what Dick and Shane share between themselves, excludimg the little darling from the love. as has beem pointed out several times throughout the series, he wont be getting any more than he already does, especilly from Shane. they should part on good terms, of course, but it is my hope that he will mature and realize that he deserves that intimate love, and in order to recieve it, he will have to go and find it on his own. while i love the angst and, at times, adorableness from the trio, it most definitely does not scream "everlasting love". can`t wait for the next installment. hopefully there will be improvements in the emotional aspects. otherwise, time to move on for your own sake, Gillibran.

substance than I've found in other books of this type. Adult readers only. - A missing chapter from the 2007 story, More Fun with Dick and Shane - Memoirs of a Houseboy 2007 this novella is about Gilli's reaction to his partners Dick and Shane getting married, signing a Civil Partnership agreement. Even though it retained some of the funny writing style that characterizes the previous books, this one is a painfully emotional look at Gilli's jealousy and insecurity in the face of what he views as a threat to the menage he lives in.
Typical of him, the name of the book comes from his convoluted way of blaming anyone and everyone for his problems, except himself. That is, until he gets a "good hiding" as he calls it, then he allows himself to recognize that it can all be laid at his own feet.
Though I sympathized with Gilli for feeling left out, I also understand Shane and Dick's handling of the situation. Throughout the stories, all we've read is Gilli's POV. In this book, we get a much better understanding of how very invested the Daddies really are with Gilli. The scene where Shane talks about having spoken at length with Gilli's mother shows how deeply Shane understands his boy and confirms to me that he is a true and accomplished Master Dom. Shane knows Gilli and Dick better than they probably know themselves, and he takes his responsibilities as their alpha Daddy very seriously.
It is clear that during the time up to the CP ceremony if either Dick or Shane had pandered to Gilli's insecurity and jealousy, all they'd accomplished is to make those feelings into bottomless wells. There would have been no words or actions that Gilli would have believed or that would have been enough to satisfy his need. Gilli himself, when he eventually gets clarity on the matter, says so. He's pushing for more than he should have or the others can give, and if the Daddies had given in to his demands, it would have unbalanced the relationship. Likely fatally. Jealousy has no place among the members of a menage, it cannot be allowed to take root. It is the antithesis of what a polyamorous relationship lives on, which is self-less sharing for the health and satisfaction of all involved.
Gilli cannot claim to be 'an equal part of the relationship', because he is not. There is past history between Shane and Dick, over ten years of it, there is no way around that. There doesn't need to be equality or ignorance of previous history, because both the agreed-upon hierarchy and the existing past history are essential parts (along with each of their personalities) of what makes their relationship possible and successful.
There are a couple of lines, spoken by Shane, that cleared up something I'd been thinking about since I started reading this series. Talking to and about Gilli, Shane says "What you crave is to be dominated, to be taken charge of, but submitting to authority doesn't come naturally or easily to you. It leaves you feeling conflicted and that's when the verbal challenges come into play."
This, then, explains why Gilli gets himself into trouble with such regularity. It helps me understand why, after getting into said trouble, he's scared sh*tless of the punishment. It clears up why, during the confrontations caused by his misbehavior he is sexually aroused along with his fear. Though his mind and body contradict each other in their desires, Gilli is exactly where he wants and needs to be. His Daddies, both of them, are also exactly where they want and need to be. All three of them are.
The blog/journal continues, so I have high hopes of continuing to read about these guys in the future. No doubt about it, I am hooked with Gilli the houseboy and his Daddies, beyond redemption. - I gave 5 stars , because gilli has capture my heart. you totally get lost in his life. I think he has talent, to keep interested, with out over doing it. I just want give the three of them big great big hugs, I could go for ever, but I won't. )
to Gillibran. I readied all your books so far, and found your journal site. and know you have another book your writing, and it is emotionally for you to write. So I just want send love's and hugs your way. - When I read this book, I think I read it out of order of the series, but I fell in love with it. I could really relate to some of the things Gillibran was going through with Shane. No, I am not a gay male, but feelings are universal between the sexes, and I just felt this was a very heartfelt written book. I strongly recommend reading this book. His writing is also very funny and these books are just plain enjoyable.
