How Sweet It Is #3
Return to Me: A Remi/Claudia Story
**A sequel to the How Sweet It Is novel, Hungry for It** Rémi and Claudia have been together for over two years. During that time, their families have grown to accept what the twenty-nine year old reformed player and her fifty year old lover mean to each other. Theirs is not just another kinky May-December affair. But a ghost from Rémi’s past rises up to threaten what the two women have found together. Can they put these demons to rest or will their love, as erotic as it is powerful, scatter like ashes to the four winds? This story contains explicit, kinky sexual acts between two consenting adults with a motorcycle acting as occasional voyeur. Number 3 in the How Sweet It Is series by the Lambda Literary Award finalist author of Bliss and Every Dark Desire. Start from the beginning with A Taste of Sin, Hungry for It, then Return to Me (a short sequel to Hungry for It), then Insatiable Appetites. All (except for Return to Me) are standalone, full-length novels featuring different couples in the group of Miami-based friends.

This is a quick short story about a relationship between a young woman of 29, Remi, and an older woman of 50-something (I've the idea the number 53 might have been used), Claudia. They've been in this relationship for the past two years, and even though both seem quite into each other, quite loving of each other, and even though neither is showing signs of straying - the younger woman is suffering greatly by certain fears. Not that the older woman would leave her. But that Remi would be the one to stray - because everything about this relationship is somewhat out of character for Remi.
Sure, Remi has/had lusted after her friend's mother for a longish while, and didn't act on it until she was an adult. And sure she loves being with her, loves her not just the situation, but . . . she fears being fully herself with Claudia and therefore fears her needs will force her to stray. So she's hiding a part of herself from her lover, and possibly leading down the path to relationship ruin.
Claudia, being smart and stuff, takes things into her own hands and 'fixes' stuff.
This is listed as being 2.5 in a 4 book series. Since this is the first work I've read by this author, it is easy to see that I've not read anything else in this specific series. I do not know what I may or may not have missed in the prior works, but this short sexually explicit story seems fully formed and readable without a lot of previously acquired knowledge. Granted the story begins with the couple already being a couple and if readers need to know how everything came together before reading this story, then don't read this story first. I prefer couples stories, rare as they are (possible I might not prefer them if they weren't so rare).

This is an erotic short set two years into Claudia and Remi's relationship. Remi is worried that her desire for kink will inevitably lead her to stray but doesn't want to broach the subject with Claudia. It's sexy, erotic and raw in the way only Zedde can write.

Holy hotness, loved this erotic short. Although, I'm unsure if I would've had I not read book 2 in this series. Ironically it's a story I didn't care much for, but this lovely shortie, has warmed me to the ladies, in more than one sense of the word, and I'm now excited to see what book 3 will entail.

This is a follow-up, short story, about Remi and Claudia from Hungry For It. If you haven't read that book, you may not get the significance of what goes on in this story. But it may still be enjoyable on it's own. The author does lay down some groundwork about the psychology of Remi and Claudia's roles in this relationship, so it could possibly stand on it's own. But I recommend reading both. This isn't a sequel, it is just a nice excerpt from their life; sort of another epilog. If you liked the characters, you'll appreciate reading more about them in this story.
As always, the author's writing style is skilled and packed with emotion. And the story itself is pretty hot.

Uniquely a rousing
So the storyline at first confused me as I couldn’t figure out what Remi’s problem was about her cheating on her lover. After A brief ambiguous description of what Remi was into in her hidden room I finally got what was going on. Once Claudia showed up and took a hard core approach to her young lover the story really heated up. Apparently both were satisfied with their interactions the story ended in a promise of more of the same actions.

Not as good as 2nd book in series. . .
Remi is so selfish and self-adsorbed that she has turned her lover into a total submissive. Which I think is wrong because Claudia is a professor and a very intelligent woman. Claudia acts as though nothing bothers her about Remi. Example: Remi voices to her lover that she’s afraid she is not enough. So what does Claudia do? Why she visits Remi where she works and fulfills Remi’s needs. WTF!! First of all Claudia, submissive “stupid” Claudia gives in to EVERY sexual desire of Remi. It’s always what Remi wants. I don’t recall even reading about what her lover wants. The book was well written. I don’t even mind the highly erotic nature of the series. I really just can’t stand Remi. And since the series is based on her and I am so disappointed in the read, I will not be reading anymore of the series. Remi at least to me, has no real substance and neither does her lover.

Super super sexy!
I downloaded both books and read them back to back. The chemistry was so off the charts. Young and Old romances have been written about and it was refreshing to have a new twist.
I would love for there to be a continuing story with Remi and Claudia. This couple is hot!

YAY! They are Back!
This is a short story about Remi and Claudia. In this sexy tale Remi is still insistent on keeling Claudia on her pedestal, thinking some things are just not for the lovely older woman. However, Claudia wants ALL of her lover, not just the polite parts…. PURRRRRR!!! You have to love them!

A perfect follow-up to the book Hungry for it. The sequences of this book take place 2 years after the beginning of Remi's and Claudia's relationship. The book is filled with the author's typical blend of sensuous and erotic scenes and briefly focuses on their doubts about their relationship.This book is for you if you are looking for a really short and steamy read.

This is a sizzling sequel to How Sweet It is Book 3, Hungry For It where Claudia and Remi have taken their relationship to the next level but there is trouble in Paradise. Will they be able to overcome their differences?
An absolutely must read sequel addressing issues of this very special age gap relationship is true Fiona Zedde fashion.

Mild, Fifty Shades kinda lesbian love
That being said, I found this story to be very well written and a delight to read. I loved the characters and the overall flow. I feel this captured a valid issue amongst age Gap couples and Claudia handled it brilliantly. Well done!

Great Sequel
Short and sweet sequel for the surprisingly super nova hot book that preceded this. Very grateful to the author for this follow-up. I've only read books two and this one of the series and I'm hooked! Really hoping the majority of her books are this Good.

Loved it!
Wished it wasnt so short. Definitely worth the read. Would recommended it to anyone who enjoys Zedde’s work or any lesbian stories for that matter.

Quick and Erotic
Way too short but definitely erotic. Believable, good but not deep characterizations and love the age gap dynamic. Would read more by this author.

An huge age gap that really works. A spontaneous visit into the back room mixes kink with love Well written
February 19, 2024
I actually loved this, it was a short quick steamy read. I related to some aspects of the story. I loved that they were an age gap sapphic couple. I would have loved even more for the sex scenes to be even more detailed, I could take a whole book of their dynamic as they explore more sexually.
