For months Marley has watched and pined after Kayla.  A chance introduction leadsto seduction which leads to a relationship, or so it seems.  Seeing the sparks fly between their mother and Marley leads the girls to set up a date for the two.  Marley is a member of a motorcycle club and he asks Kayla to accompany him to their chapter's annual picnic.  The girls are hyped because maybe, just maybe, their mother will ease up and allow them to spend time with their friends, go to parties and possibly date.  Kayla's girls are as different as night and day, one is prissy and selfish, while the other is a tomboy and very athletic.  However, neither girl can spread their wings because their mother is overbearing and overprotective.

Michele Sudler's story is very enlightening and her characterizations are  realistic.  I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the antics of the girls and the secondary characters as they plot to set their mother up.  The addition of Marley's brothers, friends and co-workers add spice to the storyline and assist with the understanding of the main characters' psyche and experiences.  It was truly a treat to watch their involvement.  Her take on family and the imagery she displays for all of the characters is on point, this includes the sex scenes which are detailed and tantalizing. 

Michele Sudler's romance, THREE DOORS DOWN, hits the mark on single parenting, teenage relationships, healthy self-esteem and a host of issues as it relates to family values and character.  With the addition of a lot of humor, this is  an excellent romantic read.  Also, I do see another story on the horizon; Marley's brother, the infamous Nester, definitely has a story to tell.
