Book Summary:

It took a lot for Pete Slater to convince his wife, Emma, to move to the suburbs. But once she arrived, she found it had a deliciously steamy underbelly. Her neighborhood is filled with hook-ups, affairs, and scandal. It’s better than any reality TV show.

But Emma finds she isn’t satisfied any more. After seeing Piper and Michael become adventurous again as a couple, it’s made Emma realize that’s what she wants in her own life. She craves to be noticed again. She decides what the two of them really need is a vacation. The STD girls throw her a travel shower, gifting her some sexy starters, and she and Pete are off to the Bahamas.

Their destination is a super exclusive resort situated on a tiny island where anything and everything can happen. When they meet a young couple at the airport, who end up in the suite next to theirs, things go from fun to incredibly steamy fast. Emma drives Pete crazy flirting, and it pays off. For the first time in their marriage her husband is jealous of another man. What Pete does to win her back turns out to be exactly what Emma craves.

*This book is off the charts hot. It contains: explicit sex, group sex, and voyeurism.

Review:

Oh Emma Emma Emma. I went back and forth between wanting to kick her in the shins and wanting to give her a hug. Emma and Pete were married young and almoat immediately joined the swinger lifestyle; however Emma’s not quite sure it’s working for her anymore. The ultimate people pleaser, Emma decides that shes going to try to refocus on herself and her pleasure. Unfortunately, she tortures her loving and insanely hot husband in the process.

As they head off to a secluded resort where almost anything goes, Emma tries her hand at playing at a few new games, that could throw her marriage into the proverbial fire. Pete’s completely in love with his wife, and fails to see the problems in their relationship – whether it’s only them in the bedroom or when they’re with others. As it isn’t really his issue, I couldn’t help feeling a bit bad for the guy.

While I initially was expecting tons of swapping and sharing (which sometimes makes me grit my teeth) I was surprised and pleased to discover that I was always comfortable with how far they took their sexual acts with others.

Ad Pete and Emma search for a way to rekindle their passion, I enjoyed their easy banter back and forth. Their words and touches were playful, knowledgeable and always loving. There are also plenty of sex scenes that will have you heating up and enough romance to soothe you after you come back down from your high.

Overall, an easy read and a passionate story about reconnection with tinges of jealousy and lots of angst. 3 stars.
