Sensational first episode of a trilogy All the angst of the wanna be cuckold Hugo and Madeline are experiencing a little let down in the bed A chance outing of Hugo's desires brings new meaning to their marriage What was tired Is now new Great intro Not a rushed short story Great character development Wonderful plot development Five star start
**Review for the Trilogy** Fair warning: these aren't so much "Books 1, 2 & 3" as they are "Part 1, 2 & 3" - novellas that you want to read in order.
Together, they are a great story for open-minded, non-judgmental readers. The books are wonderfully graphic and honest.
Told from the husband's POV, I thought the emotional turmoil and feelings were very real for the situation as it unfolded. Intriguing, and oddly, a page-turner - I really couldn't wait to find out what happened next.
Only in a few spots did I think the dialogue was not very realistic - but clearly used to move the story line along. But overall, the writing was well done and very, very few typos or errors in the three books.
I really enjoyed this story and have already added Mr. Sebastian as an author "to-read". Few books have me thinking about the contents once I hit "The End" but these sure do - and I'm passing them to my hubby to read ASAP! *wink*
This one was hard to read. Hugo didn't seem like a real husband for a while. I kept wanting to slap him out of it. The end definitely turned around the story though and made we want to read the rest of the trilogy.
Hugo and Madeleine are new in New York trying to rebuild their lives after Madeleine’s depression. Their marriage has been through a really tough patch and there is still a way to go. Their sex life has been largely non-existent since Madeleine’s illness. Max is shocked and excited to discover his wife masturbating late at night when she thinks he is fast asleep, he watches her but does not reveal that he now knows about her nocturnal habits. From here the story moves slowly but it is apparent that Madeleine is slowly waking. We learn of Hugo’s desires and fantasies and just how much he loves and adores his wife. At times it was a little frustrating to read, I found myself willing Madeleine and Hugo just to talk to each other and get things moving as the pace was a little slow but Max Sebastian did a good job setting up the characters and the story for the next instalment, by the end of the book I was looking forward to reading book two in the trilogy, so I guess you can say the author did a good job.
This IS my husbands fantasy! We played and flirted with strangers during our dating days. This book inspired us again, so I spent 3 hours in an expensive tavern in a mini dress without underwear, my husband a few barstools away watching and listening as I flirted, was flirted with, got tipsy as men bought me drinks.
After 3 hours I was highly aroused, I had kissed 5 men, had my body groped, I smelled like men’s cologne. Todd was like a kid in a candy store, topping off his “hot wife”s pleasure the moment we hit our bed
Like the series, we’re considering going further…. Todd dreams of the creampie when I come home late
