Holy. Freaking. WOW!!
This book was a speeding roller coaster that started really fast and didn’t stop. Jessica and Jake have some real marital issues that get downright HOT and then get really twisty. This book is HOT and full of amazing scenes but none of it felt gratuitous. It was all integral to the plot. I did not see that ending happening.
The relationships between the other adult women in this book are spot on. The mother/daughter relationships over the generations as well as the friendships are an amazing array of interactions.
The interweaved storyline of the teenagers is mind-blowingly accurate.
This book really addresses women’s sexual identities and female relationships.

Compelling, well-written, and very very steamy. I know this recommendation may be past its prime but this would be a good readalike for those who liked [b:Fifty Shades of Grey|10818853|Fifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades, #1)|E.L.

Okay, I wasn't sure what to expect when diving into this. I hadn't read anything by this author before, and I'm glad I did.
So, we have a married couple Jake and Jessica, and they live a happy life and have a happy marriage. Jake is Jessica's second husband after she divorced her first, and her first is the father of her children.
Everything is great. But as a marriage can get, their bedroom game is way off. The kids and everything that comes along with them has put a damper on their sex life. This isn't uncommon, it happens.
On a night out, Jessica ends up dancing with another man. I mean it was innocent... Kind of. By her surprised, she found herself extremely turns on with another man, and even more surprising when Jake is turned on too. So when they realize this. They think, maybe spicing up the bedroom by adding another man into the picture would be a good idea... But is it? This could go either way. they could have the time of their lives or it could explode and create problems that are so much bigger than a stale sex life. What way will it go?
I liked it. This isn't the first book in this sub-genre/trope I have read, and I rather like them. They are hot,... Like really hot, and I am all for taboo and kink. If anything this is probably tamer than some of the stuff I have read. But in saying that, it was still an awesome read and I found myself devouring in only hours.
This wasn't just heat, and kinky sex, it held depth and substance and backstories and actually tackle some common problems in marriages these days. The author wrote this brilliantly in my opinion. I will be sure to check the rest of her work out!
4.5/5 Stars!

Wow. An intense look at a loving marriage and the sexual boundaries they cross. It's sexy and steamy but there's also a message.

Not perfect, but very compelling and well-written. I loved the deep dive into sexuality and relationships, particularly with the backdrop of a family dynamic.
