  BETWEEN THE PIPES The Games We Play - Season Two by Kate Bauer Release Date: January 2, 2026 Review Between the Pipes is a short MMM romance.  The shortness makes doing MMM even harder - trying to develop three characters in a novella is tricky. So while I did enjoy the book and the characters, it felt like it was missing some meat to the story. The mix of men is fun, and I enjoyed their varying journeys and life experiences. I made them an interesting blend and gave them many ways to connect and support each other.
