The Beginning

by Orion Azure

I’m Lexi Richards, and I’ve had a thing for my best friend for a while now. She’s beautiful, sexy as hell, intelligent, and bisexual... but she’s married to an amazing guy and has been for over 20 years. We may jokingly flirt with one another and make innuendos all the time.

But I know this insane attraction I have for her will never come to anything more than it is. Just two best friends joking around and some playful banter here and there... or is it?

Could there be a chance at indulging in my fantasies with her? Or will my past come and crush everything I’ve been working towards?

I love love love poly representation in books and this one didn't disappoint. I think this book was fantastic for a debut novel. The cover was beautiful and if you are someone who picks books by their cover then this one is a keeper. I also thought that even though it had dark elements woven throughout this book it was done in a very tasteful way. I really enjoyed this new author and will be adding them to my list of authors to watch!

“Let me watch you enjoy my wife, Sweet Girl.”
“Is this what you wanted, baby girl. To be taken care of by the both of us?”

Great debut novel with poly representation and dark themes.

I enjoyed the relationship development and dynamics between the main characters, Lexi, Cam, and Shay. Lexi was a strong FMC with a difficult past that affected her deeply. I liked how both Cam and Shay were able to help her heal.

The pacing was slower at times, allowing more room for character and relationship development, but there weren’t any dull moments. The storyline itself was interesting, and I would love to read more about Cam, Shay, and Lexi.

I can’t wait to read more books from this author!

Loved it

This was awesome. Be sure to check the trigger warnings. If you can read it after looking at the trigger warnings you will not want to put this book down.
