But when his name surfaces during her abduction, Natasha learns the shocking Rafael is a rogue intelligence operative, and her "boring" husband Ethan was his former handler. The man she married has been living a double life, and her kidnapping might not be as random as it seems.
Caught between two dangerous men with a shared history of betrayal, Natasha discovers that even her closest relationships have been built on surveillance and lies. As Rafael forces her onto a private jet, she must is she a victim in their deadly game, or can she find a way to take control?
With secrets unraveling at 30,000 feet, Natasha faces an impossible choice that will change everything. But this is only the beginning of a deadly triangle where passion, deception, and revenge collide.

When you start to dive in, it just seems like Natasha’s every day to day life. Pretty normal. But as you get deeper into the chapters, it’s as if her husband—Ethan is keeping a secret from her. She feels she doesn’t know her husband as he is keeping everything from her. It’s as if she married somebody she doesn’t know, and that’s the truth. What seems to be a normal life turns into betrayal and confusion of her husband’s dangerous lifestyle that she wasn’t aware of, until she found a burner phone and the rest is history.
Then we are met with Rafael, another dangerous yet sexy man from her past who was her summer fling. As you can see in the title of the book, “Sharing Natasha” is exactly what it sounds like. This book is very spicy and I highly recommend it to other readers who are into it as well. I can’t wait to read part two!
I can’t describe anymore without spoiling anything!.

The latest installment of the Shared Wives series is unlike the five books that precede it. This story has little to do with a wife wanting more out of life and a husband who, desiring to please her, willingly shares her. It starts out like the other novellas as we meet a bored Natasha who sees her life as regimented with every detail planned out to the minute. She has a boring job and is comfortable with her husband in an equally boring job.
But not all is as it seems, or rather nothing is as it seems.
A bit of a surprise, to say the least, this book is impossible to put down. Rather than an expected tale of sharing and cuckolding, Raven has crafted a story filled with several twists and turns, layers of lies, intrigue and deception, sex and passion. There is truly something for everyone – romance, intrigue, passion, sex, kidnapping, bondage, deceit, betrayal, and true love.

This is a great read with spice and mystery. Natasha's life is forever altered when she is kidnapped. Everything she thought she knew was a facade. She will have some important decisions to make. I can't wait to read the next book.

WOW - so different from what I am used to for a Raven Merlot book. The boring life of Natasha and Ethan (but it is what Natasha wants). The Natasha's world is turned upside down from a blast from her past. I can't wait to read book 2 - I hope Raven writes more books like this - it really has a lot of substance! LOVE IT!

I've read a lot of books written by Raven Merlot; she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books.
This is the first book in the Shared Wives Series; it is the beginning of a new series. The story continues in the next book and needs to be read in order. It ends in a cliffhanger.

It wasn't at all what I was expecting but so worth the read. Excellently written with plenty of suspense, lies and drama. You're drawn in from the beginning and I can't wait to read more.

I’ve tried really, really hard with this book but it just bored the fuck out if me. I DNF’ed at approx. 30% and this is not the first time this has happened while I was reading a Raven Merlot book. I think I need to fact facts that she is just not the author for me.
