A Long Time Coming
When I took my wife to an ahem adult resort for our anniversary to indulge in her fantasies, I expected her to enjoy it...
What I didn’t discovering new things about myself, too. Turns out, I really like the idea of being with a man. The problem? The only man I actually want to be with is my best friend, Wyatt.
And my wife wholeheartedly understands, because she has feelings for Wyatt's husband, Alex... and from the way he's looking at her right now across our dining room table, those feelings are definitely reciprocated.
When a dinner party to catch up turns into an opportunity to get caught up in each other, we realize we all want the same thing.I guess it really has been a long time coming.

Penelope, we need to talk.
I was not ready for all that spice you filled this book with from beginning to end. DANG!
It was a a pretty quick novella read, but had a full storyline and was straight SMUT. So dirty, so filthy, so descriptive. It will leave you hot and bothered for sure! Penelope’s way of writing and her way of words while expressing passion was amazing! I loved where she took this book, especially when the heat happened between best friends and swapping. It was my first book by her and won’t be my last for sure!!! I need more smut! An incredible read for the girlies that love the real spicy stuff!

I crowned Penelope the Queen on smut and she still hold that crown high and proud, I mean Jesusss… This woman can write spicy scenes and have you melting, sweating and curling your toes in the very first few pages.
This book is sweet but also so caliente 🔥🥵… Like honey where do I find this hotel and friends like them?? It was seriously a quick read but so full of love, passion and entrataiment. Four best friend finding each others kinks and sharing it with one another, I mean what is better than that, right 🤭♥️.
I can’t wait to see what other kinky, beautiful stories she comes up with

Excuse me ma'am... 🥵🥵
Let's just hit the ground running here...
Mel's husband, Nate, planned a vacation for the two of them at a k!nk resort. They wanted to explore the things they liked, didn't like, and everything in between.
What they also discovered is that they wanted to explore this relationship with more permanent people, so why wouldn't their best friends, Wyatt and Alex, be their first pick? Welll because neither couple has ever crossed that line before. That is until they all have a get-together and discuss Mel and Nate's vacation.
And let me tell you this - the spice 🫠🥵 like I can't even wrap my head around all of this It's hott. Amazing. And it makes me want to jump into this story to live out these fantasies 🫣
Penelope -the way you wrote this story was so incredibly thought out, and I'm going to need more and more from you!
You nailed it...yes, pun intended. But just so you're aware, I'm hooked, and now you're not getting rid of me! 😘

Spice 5 ⭐️
Now let me tell you something about this book. It is spicy, it is steamy, it is smoking, and it will leave you sweating and wanting more. I absolutely loved it! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and didn't want to put it down for anything (just ask the overcooked broccoli 🤣). I loved the characters' friendships, relationships, as well as the chemistry not just per couple but all of them together! They were already close, but they got so much closer. If you love steam, spice, smut, poly, and mmfm, then you'll love this book!

Whew! 🥵🌶
Talk about giving you ideas! Ma'am! This book was short but so sweet. I can not get enough of each relationships dynamic. The love and the trust is top tier. The constant reassurance for both couples and the understanding could be more got then the spice!
Wait ✋ who am I kidding?
The spice is more then five 🌶. The spice is giving habanaro! The spice is *chefs kiss.*
A Long Time Coming was an amazing read for me and it will be something I come back to. Penelope writes books that she knows will have you feeling some type of way and I can't thank her enough for it. ❤
One of my go to authors. ✨

I loved this story. I loved reading about the trip to Mexico. I liked learning that they were into their best friends but also their best friends were into them. It has bi-awakening in it and I was all here for that. Nate, Mel, Wyatt, and Alex have known each other for years and have kept their secrets close to their hearts until Nate and Mel come back from a vacation and decided to tell Alex and Wyatt about it. From there things just get heated. I hope there’s more about these two couples.

This is a short quick spicy read! Very spicy 🥵 This is about a couple (Melissa & Nate) who discover that they are sexually attracted to their homosexual married best friends (Wyatt & Alex). What will happen at dinner once they all come clean about their attraction and their kinks? Good times, that’s what happens! 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

This is a short story but omg does it pack a punch.
This is about melissa and nate who get to explore their kinks and sexuality when they are snowed in with their married friends wyatt and alex and they find out they are attracted to them.
Its short,spucy but still has a plot.
I absolutely loved it and would suggest anyone give it a read

Fast burn, simply written, ending with an HEA possible in the future.
No real angst or background information from any charectar.
Multiple POV. Swinging MM & MF married couples.
NOT RH as one M has no interest in F. It's a very simple sharing story where the focus is on the FMCs husband.
First MM experiences, lots of verbal declarations of love between spouses.

I don't think there's such thing as too much spice. but if there was, this book is mighty close. But, more than just the sex scenes, this book has romance of the purest kind. Love of your partner and love for your friends. it's just got everything you could want and so much more. Now, tell me where I can book that trip to Mexico?

This marked my inaugural venture into polyamorous literature, and it was truly an incredible journey! The depth of respect and love between each character was palpable. The narrative flowed seamlessly, leaving me eager to explore more works by this author!
March 28, 2024
This was so good!! Very short, I would’ve loved if it was longer, but it’s full plot so I can’t complain. I loved the dynamics and oh my goodness the spice was amazing, hits you right off the bat and pulls you in.

I knew going into this book that it would be steamy but hot dam|\| I was so unprepared for just hot spicy Pen's work would be. The story is so captivating the moment I started reading i couldn't stop until I was done. Now if you'll excuse me while I dive into her next book.

Listen… I was absolutely not prepared for this ride! Ma’am, a little heads-up would’ve been nice because WOW. I’m hooked and I need more ASAP.
This one is officially getting a spot in my “read-again immediately” stack.

Saw this on a social media post and didn’t realize it was a novella until I was a few pages in. Kinda regret this tbh. Lmao.

What a great read. This book has me absolutely hooked from the moment I started reading it. This was a fast and spicy read.
March 21, 2024
This book was hot!! 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ This was a fast burn and quick read. I had this finished in less than a day because I could not put this down. This is about Melissa and Nate finally becoming free with this sexuality after a kinky getaway. They open up about this freedom at dinner with their best friends Wyatt and Alex, who are married, during dinner together. Which they get snowed in together and well let’s just say their dessert was just as spicy.

Oh my great goodness- this book was a great breath of fresh air. Spice was top tier and the building angst just made this book one of my 5 star reads! Enjoy this snowy weekend!!!
