What happens when a threesome turns into a polyamorous affair? The question is, can Charlie Thompson handle it?
Sure, she can. She endured single motherhood for twenty-one years after having her son Jaden when she was only thirteen years old. She even leveled up from making nine dollars an hour as a Certified Nursing Assistant in Lagrange, GA to the head nurse of one of the most prestigious hospitals in New York City. And you know what they say, if you can make it in New York, you could make it anywhere!
Sean and Shelly Fox are a dynamic and attractive black power couple who run New York Presbyterian Hospital, serving as the CEO and the CNO (Chief Nursing Officer). While their polished image charms many on the outside, including Charlie, Sean and Shelly’s relationship is much more complicated than meets the eye. Between the secrets that Shelly holds and the chain of events that takes place as Charlie is pulled into a pandora’s box of luxury, money, and sex, with two of New York City’s heavy hitters, expect controversy, drama, risqué locations, steamy sex, and a whole lot of mischief. In the end will this poly couple survive this emotional roller coaster of love, or will they be torn apart?
What annoyed me was the lack of STD testing prior to them hooking up. Especially with them being in the medical field. Also, they never laid out the logistics of their relationship like expectations and deal breakers.
The Sister circle was enlightening and I was very interested in that portion of the book. Holistic practices are always intriguing.
That’s it I don’t think I’ll be tapping into the next book. I wasn’t really invested in the characters.
While reading this story I had my doubts that Charlie would accept the terms and be happy but she did and who could blame her a handsome faithful man catered to her every need and want as well as a woman both bringing out desires that she never knee she had. Now that Rodney was indeed a bum he wanted to be taken care of but when his golden goose got rid of him he couldn't handle it and took things too far so happy Sean had that situation taken care of, now Sean's true feelings for Charlie started to come forth and after the test results he voiced them to Charlie causing her yet again pain where she thought she finally found peace and happiness her only worry was informing her son Jayden of the current situation but after Sean's outburst I feel her decision was made making She'll upset with Sean. Now what will happen to the couple as well as what they are going to do about the results. Can't wait for part two.
This book has me totally invested I can’t wait for part 2!!
Wow the lifestyle choice of the couple in this book is absolutely interesting to read about. Charlie has some deep rooted issue that she needs to seek therapy for, I feel that she is kind of all over the place right now due to her vulnerability from past trauma and her relationship with Rodney. Her entering into the world Sean and Shelley is not the right move in my opinion and with the way Sean is now acting she needs to do what’s best for her in the end. Hopefully she gets it together with minimal drama and maybe even end up with a love interest all her own. I can’t wait too see how this whole relationship plays out because Shelley is holding on to a secret that Sean knows nothing about and I wonder how he will feel about Charlie’s situation once he finds out.
At first I wasn’t feeling it. Idk why but then it started to pick up and I’m like okayyyy. Rodney gotta go period. No if ands or buts about it. He violated. Charlie kinda annoys me. I know she been through some ish but I really don’t know how I feel about her just yet. Maybe my mind will make up in part 2. I like Sean for right now and I do understand where he’s coming but my guy gotta take some accountability. Everything ain’t on your wife. Whether you did it for her or not you still agreed so that make you a willing participant. I like Shelly but then on the other hand it’s like Idk. She know her husband loves the hell outta her and would do anything for her so I feel like she takes advantage of that. Going to read part 2 because this left me wanting more.
Penny Blacwrite always and I mean always will hit you with all the twists and turns to make your head spin!!!! I enjoy every second of it. Charlie has been through a lot and all you want is for her to be genuinely happy for once. When you think she's found it with the Fox's, Sean reveals his dislike for her, and that threw me for a loop. I understood him being upset about the ex stepping to his wife, but that wasn't Charlie's fault. It's like a switch was turned and he hated her. I really can't wait for part two.
My first read by the author and she did not disappoint! I like how she tackled the taboo topic of polyamory and how society’s outlook vs reality of the situation is worlds apart. With Charlie my heart just hurts for her and I want her to win and get her happy ending. Nate can kick rocks. He definitely aggravated me with the switch up. I get that his loyalty is to his wife but the moment he accepted Charlie as his “girlfriend” it extended to her as well. Can’t wait to see how Charlie comes out of this situation!
This book was high on my must read list! It kept my interest! Charlie was a strong woman but she definitely deserved better treatment than what her family gave her. Sean is such a great man and it was beautiful to see him hold his women down and always be there for them. Shelley is the total package all around but I hated the way she acted sometimes! Rodney was so annoying and pathetic! I can't wait to finish part 2!
I can not wait to read part two of this book. I feel so bad for Charlie. She has been through so much. I truly believe Shelly loves her but Sean might stop that with him been inconsiderate of both their feelings. I feel like if he could not handle his wife sexuality he should not have agreed to a poly relationship.
This is amazing! I had heard about this one being spicy and sexy and something some have never read before and I agree wholeheartedly. But it's more than about sex, it's about trauma, it's about seeing an effective and successful marriage, healing from your trauma and breaking barriers. I cannot wait for part 2!
Wow! What can I say. This read is awesome. Plenty of ups and downs. So much love shared. This book truly kept me on edge. I can't wait for the next part of this series. It's like nothing I have ever read before. Keeps you engaged from the beginning. This is a highly recommended read
So Charlie’s pregnant! Now how is this going to affect the dynamic of this relationship! Sean is already not feeling her right now! Shelly seems to be more invested in Charlie more than her husband, it seems! I wonder if Rodney is going to stay away for good now! And who’s the father of the baby! Well on to next installment!!

I wasn’t a fan of this book—it had so much potential, but it lacked the depth and detail I needed to truly connect with the characters. The story felt like it was missing that extra layer. However, the author did end on a high note with a great cliffhanger, which was probably the best part of the book. I’m curious to see where things go from here.

This is my first book with this author and wasn't expecting this turn off events happening with the trio. Love Charlie spirit that once she decided to be in the relationship with Fox, she didn't second guess and went all in. Now I'm ready for Book 2
DNFd…I was expecting erotica and what I got was trauma and lots of it. I really wish the author would have put a TW at the beginning of this book or added it to the note for readers
Well this is truly a good one that kept me on my toes. Whew Charlie is in for it if she keeps the baby. Sean is starting to show his true colors now. Ready for part 2
I really am liking this book. I thought at first I wasn't with th opening chapter. Charlie was in for run for her money with those two. Ready for part 2.
