Between the Sheets

Rate this book
Sinful fantasies become sensually heated realities in this steamy tale when one power couple takes voyeurism, intimacy, and open-mindedness to new sexual heights.

Marika and Marcel Franklin are a strikingly handsome, thirty-something married couple with voracious sex drives—professionals by day, uninhibited sexual beings at night. They are both as attracted to the same sex as they are to each other, openly allowing one to indulge in surreptitious sexual encounters while the other watches and, more often than not, participates.

The rules are simple. The other partner gets to choose who their mate’s next sexual conquest will be. Safe sex is a must. And they never, ever, indulge in any extramarital rendezvous without the other’s permission and presence.

From steamy exclusive sex clubs to frisky weekend getaways, there is no place these uninhibited lovers won’t turn inside out for multiple orgasms and wicked, no-strings-attached one-night stands. But what happens when obsession seeps in and one clandestine sexual encounter turns into more than either could have ever expected?

Find out in Between the Sheets , told in alternating voices, as Marika and Marcel heat up their bedroom and singe the sheets, leaving nothing to the imagination.

This book took me FOREVER to finish! I like a book with some sex but I am not kidding when I say that the first 200 pages were NOTHING but sex! I had no problem with Marcell and Marika getting their freak on in the style that they did my problem was that this book had ZERO story until (and I am not even exaggerating a little bit) page 230! There were many times that I wanted to just abandon this book and say to hell with it. The only reason that I did not abandon the book was because I told myself to stick it out, there is no way this book can be just these two having sex literally morning noon and night, somewhere in this book there has to be a story. Little did I know that I would have to make it through MORE THAN HALF this book before the drama started. Once the heat was turned up outside the bedroom my attention was grabbed but only slightly because the crazy chick who brought the drama would only pop up here and there. It was never a continuous page turner until about the last 50 pages when all hell broke loose but even that wasn't enough to make me give this book more than 1 star. It blows my mind the rating this book has from it reviewers! Definitely wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who wants to sit back relax and enjoy a good book. But if you are into heavy erotic novels this one will be a winner for you forsure.

I loved the couple - Martika and MarSellll (LOL). They were uninhibited freaks truly down for whatever. After engaging in a one night stand with a woman, the couple begin getting stalked by her. The story built up well to a crashing ending (which I liked) but the epilogue had me wishing the story kept going. Nice sexy read - and VERY hot scenes!

I thought I would enjoy this because I've read a collection of short stories by this author, "Slippery When Wet" and found that I liked the majority of the stories. When I read the synopsis for this book, I thought I was in for a treat. However, I thought it tedious and a chore to read. I love reading sex scenes- the more explicit, the better- but they got excessive. The threesomes were enjoyable to read (although it could have used more man-on-man action), but the sex scenes with just Marcel and Marika grew tiresome. At times I found the parts involving Marcel and his radio show, along with the confrontations with the crazy lady more interesting than Marcel and Marika having another one of their fuckathons. Something else that bothered me about this story is Marcel jumping back in the saddle six months after his wife was murdered by the psycho bitch from hell. I guess that was an itch he just had to scratch. Also, I feel like this would have been better as a short story or novella, instead of a full-length novel.

Marcel is the owner of a record label during the day, a radio personality at night, and married to his soulmate…the beautiful Marika, who owns a publishing company in the same building. Their love is passionate and their marriage is extremely hot. They keep it hot by inviting others (male and female) into their bedroom. But, what happens when they invite the wrong person into their fold and they don't know how to get rid of her?

I enjoyed this 💎💎💎💎💎 book and highly recommend it for anyone who is open-minded and looking for a good read. I also love the way the author references other books by himself and other label mates. It actually helped to determine my next read.

This was a very sensual read. There was many ups and down. The ending was a shock to the system.

It was okay for what it was. A lot of m/m sex for those who love menage stories. This couple is the definition of "try-sexual."

Only kept reading to see if there was actually a plot, twist or something besides an enormous amount of sex. Wasn’t expecting that ending though. A little much for my taste.

I swear Cairo did his thing! Marcel and Marika had the type of relationship where anything was bound to happen. Regardless of what people assumed, they did what they both enjoyed. Some of those scenes left me saying my, my, my!!! But I wouldn't expect anything less when it comes to Cairo. Things were going good and no bad call changed everything. I swear Anonymous took crazy to a new level with the things she was doing. Chick didn't know when to take a hint and leave well enough alone. That ending proves that you have to be careful who you let between the sheets because not everyone is as trusting. Great read!!!

Just one word. SEX!!! and lots of it. There are many twist to this very erotic romance story. You will love the relationship between Marika and Marcel Kennedy. They work hard and play just as hard. There is one thing that made me ask myself. How far would I go to indulge in my sexual fantasies. There is very little they won't do or have not done Between the Sheets. What do you do when things get out of your control? Will you be able to stop what happens next, or will it be to late? If you want to read a book with lots Heat!! Read Between the Sheets. Enjoy with a cold drink.!!

If you know Cairo's work, then you already know! Nobody does it like he does! With a fatal attraction plot twist that pushes erotica to new heights...Prepare to get RAW, GRITTY & DOWN RIGHT FREAK NASTY "Between the Sheets".

Singing in my Too Short Voice....These are the tales! The Freaky Tales! These are the tales Cairo tell so well!

Oooh Cairo! This book is so hot! I hate the fate of Marika, but that psycho deserved everything she got. I would like to read a continuation on Marcel; maybe he can meet another Marika.
