A Clean Sweep (Suncoast Society #8) by Tymber Dalton seems to be the weakest of all the books in this series. The plot revolves around the physical and emotional issues of hoarding, the rekindling of a long lost love, and the realization that true love can have many facets and labels…..”like dry clean only”

The book is a quick read, humorous, honest, self contained, no cliff hanger, and not emotionally challenging. I did feel that the romance was a bit quick, that the heroine accepted the alternative lifestyle without many questions, and fell into her role with ease. I think I would have liked to have had more one on one time with the brothers, more romance, the ability to see the differences between the brothers, and how Essie interacted with each of them. I didn't feel the loving, lust, intimacy, or chemistry of the menage scenes, it seemed like each brother just wanted “his” turn. I think that there was a lot of opportunity to have done so much more with this part of the story – I was a bit disappointed. I also felt that there were some unresolved issues, like how was Essie’s mom doing once she got her house back ( I would think there would be some residual psychological issues), how was the relationship between Essie and her mom going?

All in all this was an OK read for me, but it could have been great read, had the author put more of her writing magic into the story, even the collaring ceremony was not as touching as previous ones in the series (Tony & Shayla)
