Reading this was painfully reminiscent of reading stories written by third graders. If third graders wrote some porn that is.
The dialog is like a bad 50s soap opera. The story events could’ve more or less taken place in 1912 or 1812 that’s how little background development there is.

Charlotte and Mason were childhood friends that grew apart as they aged. Charlotte marries and later regrets her choice, and she turns to Mason for the love and intimacy she needs. There are several sweet and spicy romantic escapades between Charlotte and Mason. The characters are so well-written they draw you into the story. I commiserated with Charlotte as she endured her husband's actions. I cheered Mason on as he decided to be there for her no matter what. Charlotte is kind and sweet with an inner strength and adventurous spirit that surprised me. She did what was needed and refused to just exist but reached out for adventure determined to live. Throughout the story I was kept on edge hoping that Mason would triumph and Charlotte would be happy and safe. I'll admit there were tears and for anyone that's ever watched someone they love go through a bad relationship or marriage you will I instantly identify with this story. Don't miss this story it will pull on all your emotions, and you'll love every minute---I did.

A story about a young woman who marries the wrong man. Charlotte marries a man who starts out clever & charming, but turns into a violent, cheating monster after the wedding vows are said. Her childhood crush tried to warn Charlotte’s dad about the rake, but he encourages her to marry him anyway. Then the crush peaces out for 2 years until she’s really miserable.
For the first time in Charlotte’s marriage she does something wicked that she wants to do. The story has an unusual ending, that is happy, but not traditional. I really enjoyed the ending.
