“Three people in a relationship is complicated enough, let alone when two of them are pretending to be the same person.”

Gregarious, sophisticated, comfortable in his own skin – surgeon Simon Gallagher is none of these things. That’s why – whenever the social occasion demands – he hires his extroverted actor twin Nathan to put on a white coat, flatten down his hair and pretend to be him for the evening.

Nathan’s latest mission? To chat up an adorable Bloomsbury bookseller named Rob, because Simon is far too shy to make the first move. Despite being busy with the role of a lifetime, Nathan reluctantly agrees to play Cyrano de Bergerac. It’s not like the situation is going to get messy, since Nathan’s straight.

Sort of.

As the romantic complications and cases of mistaken identity pile up, Nathan is forced to confront not only the fact that he’s further up the Kinsey Scale than he previously thought, but also that he might just be falling in love with his brother’s boyfriend.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Straight twin playing the part of the gay twin to win over the gay twin’s love interest.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2018
    I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    Straight twin playing the part of the gay twin to win over the gay twin’s love interest. Very interesting. When I first started reading Less Than Three I thought, for some reason, the story would be written from Simon’s POV (the gay twin). What a surprise it was (to me, at least) to find it’s written from the Nathan’s POV (the straight twin). A gay romance told from the straight twin’s point of view. Very, very interesting.

    Whitecroft could write about any topic--seriously, anything--and I would gobble it up. Stealing Rob’s words regarding Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: “He wanted to be off writing dense historical novels that would bore the pigeon poo off a statue.” Whitecroft could be write such novels, and I could be the pigeon poo...only, I wouldn’t be bored. Not by a long shot.

    The previous books I’ve read by Whitecroft were set in the US. This one is set in England, and some of the British references escaped me. I had to Google several of the people mentioned to get an idea of what was being said. But, that’s all on me, being a dense American.

    So, the twins. They have two very distinct, individual personalities. Where Simon is as dry as unbuttered toast (“My brother’s love life--as far as I could tell--was a lot like Fifty Shades of Grey: long periods of boredom interspersed with awkward conversations about cheese and Twinings tea bags.”), Nathan is animated and funny. Nathan tells his brother, “I don’t mean to brag, but you’re good looking.”

    I loved being in Nathan’s head for a front row seat to his unabashed realization of his feelings for Rob. And Rob was just adorable. I enjoyed their frank conversations about literature and sexuality. When questioned by Rob about his previous gay experiences, Nathan tells him, “One time I did E and it got...oral.”

    Holy mackerel, this book is hilarious and sexy and emotional. I give Less Than Three a solid ten.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fun. Endearing MCs. Good Gay Romcom.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    This is another very good Jess Whitecroft book. She knows how to write a romcom. She knows how to illicit emotion. She knows how to write characters you can engage with, and I engaged with them all, including Simon. Rob was a delight, so wonderfully open, vulnerable, and honest. That Nathan couldn’t not tell Rob about their odd beginnings, the switcheroo, made me respect him. He also grew to think of Robert as the most wonderful creature in existence, that he would like to impress him, and I enjoyed that very, very much. Because Rob is. He’s a delight.

    '“Well, I think it’s very impressive,” he said, and I almost wished I was a surgeon in that moment, because impressing him felt strangely good.'

    Because this is Jess Whitecroft, there are moments of sheer and unadulterated laugh out loud humour. I don’t always laugh hard at things I find funny, I can be amused without busting a gut, but this author often makes me snort loudly and inelegantly at thoughts and dialogue.

    The only POV is Nathan’s, except for the prologue - that is solely from Rob’s POV.

    The writing is clever and thoughtful, a play around Cyrano de Bergerac/Valmont/Dangerous Liaisons and you can take as much or as little meaning from it as you’d like. It can simply be a fun and sexy contemporary romance or it can be an homage to a classic piece of writing and its different iterations or productions.

    The MCs are easy to fall for, Nathan is funny, caring, and kind. Rob is a delight and so genuine. Together they are the right couple.

    Simon seems older than his twin because he is more rigid on the surface in outlook and demeanour. I’m wondering if Ms Whitecroft has a book in store for Simon.

    'My brother’s love life – as far as I could tell – was a lot like Fifty Shades Of Grey: long periods of boredom interspersed with awkward conversations about cheese and Twinings tea bags.'

    However, cheese, Twinings, and 50 Shades aside, there is more to him than we get to know. By book’s end his practical merit is definitely proven, along with hints of what lies within. His feelings are a bit more locked down but I think it would be fun watching them bubble to the surface. The ending would suggest that may be the case. He’s also a self-professed gay man so, for this particular genre, that’s already a good fit. Here’s hoping Simon gets a little of his own <3

    Less Than Three is an appropriate and cute title for this book. The social media emoji of love you or love does form a basis for the title and it has personal meaning for Nathan and Rob. The overall story was a little gem. I never do feel like finishing and leaving one of Jess Whitecroft’s books, for all the right reasons. The characters always make me feel a part of their world and these MCs were no exception. I pulled faces, commiserated, laughed, went aww, and generally applauded their intimacy, celebrated their love. Overall, there’s much to savour with this book – the sense of fun, the romance, the endearing characters with the odd obstacle for them to overcome, and the ending is happy – bonus. 4 Stars!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Delight!!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2018
    If you aren't reading Jess Whitecroft, what is wrong with you?

    Less Than Three's first friends and then lovers delights. The building of each hero and the relationship is so well done.

    We get the joy of silly romance troupes like twins switching places and Cyrano de Bergerac but enmeshed in the wondrous detail of one brother who is a genius doctor and the other an actor of high emotionial intelligence.

    Nathan's work on the play Dangerous Liaisons brings the story a back drop of #MeToo while exploring the art of the theater. While we also get to think about writing and visual arts as well with Rob whom I love for his joy and self awareness as much as Nathan does.

    I adore the moments deep in Simon's medical point of view as well and then Whitecroft makes my day with Neil Breen films (look him up, its awful) and carefully thinking about Doyle and Holmes to delight my book nerdy self.

    The relationship between the twins is really so clear sighted and a treasure.

    The romance between Nathan and Rob as it takes off could be a bad love triangle but it isn't because everyone is an adult. Love that.

    We have banter and friendship and characters that really like and then love each other. I wanted more from the epilogue given some of the plot late in the book and Simon better being getting his own book but I adored every moment.

    I will read this book over and over.
