The first time I read this book I was a teenager and had no business reading this book. However, it all influenced the love I have for reading now so that has to count for something, right?!

Anyways, I have been on the hunt for this book and the name of it. When I found it, I couldn’t wait to read it! So this was a much anticipated reread for me to do as an adult.

I’ll admit, I really couldn’t remember half of what the book was about just that there was a key party that changed everything. As a married woman in a monogamous relationship, I don’t understand why anyone would agree to this who isn’t poly or into the swinger lifestyle. Even then there are usually a set of rules and boundaries you have with your partner along with great communication. And really none of these couples fit the description! It was chaos and confusion from the beginning and after the swap things got worse. Shocking not shocking. It made for good entertainment at least.

This probably would be considered a contemporary romance for the time period it was written in. It wasn’t street lit. All the characters were accomplished professionals who were in love with their partners and said hey let’s swap partners for a night even though we all have jealous tendencies to begin with! Fun! With lots of drama!

The storyline read very fast paced and was dialogue heavy. Some people like that and some don’t.

Will I reread it again? Probably not. This re-read fulfilled my nostalgia for it. I’ll probably check out a newer book with this same concept in the future though to see how a newer author puts their spin on it though.

Four couples all decide to let the women put keys in a bowl and let the men pick one key. They then go to that woman's house and obviously sleep with them. It becomes sort of a switcheroo for the night. Sometimes things don't always happen as planned. Tempers flare, jealousy wears it's ugly head, while some are excited to sleep with someone they've always been secretly attracted to in the group. Some fantasies should be left unfulfilled to protect those you love. In the end, will these couples be able to survive after this one night of passion? I really liked this one. The whole concept was great. However, the ending just didn't do it for me which is why I had to take away one point. I was left with some questions that can only be answered if there's a Part 2 since the authors kind of left me hanging.

I enjoyed this book. I normally have a hard time keeping up with main characters, but from the very beginning that they were introduced, I was able to remember everyone. I guess it depends on how the author introduces you to the characters that are in the book that will determine if I can remember them. The only reason I'm giving this book 3 stars instead of 4 are because of the ending. The ending only explained what happened with 2 of the couples while the other 2 weren't completed (in my opinion). It left too many questions. Sometimes that can be a good thing, but in this case it wasn't. I also don't know or think a sequel will be available to tell what happened with the other 2 couples, but if there is, I think it would be kind of pointless because only 2 or the 4 couples would be necessary.
