Comment: I’m very impressed with what appears to be a first time Goodreads author. This story had a different feel and language than other hotwife stories.
The Review:
A thought inspiring book asking the question: Who Are We? And more deeply: What can we be within a marriage?
The last book I read - Taken in Costa Rica by Scarlett Duffy - talked about the multiple people inside us. This book talks about a woman and the wildcat “Kat” she was, the demure “Kate”, devoted wife she is, and the special marriage she and husband Justin are in.
Kate struggles with her two personalities. And it isn’t until she speaks with her supportive husband that she appreciates he’s a “real man” who wants her to be all that she can be. An interesting question for marriages - does marriage limit what you can be, or does it provide a solid platform for what you could be?
This book also asks the question: is Ethan the wimp cuckold at home, or the “real man”, the rock/solid home base from which Kate can explore? Or is Damien the real man, the buff guy with a big unit that shies away from pleasuring a woman orally? Far too often within this genre, the authors and characters confuse the jerks with the big units with the real men who are there through thick and thin, providing the solid base upon which lives and marriages are built.
Beautifully written and edited, warm and hot, with grown up dialogue between husband and wife. Just one of many examples:
“I just… needed to see you. Needed to see that you came back the way you left.” Kate met his eyes. “I didn’t.” The words hung there, soft but unmovable. After a beat, she added, just as gently—“I brought more of myself with me.” …
They sank into the comfort of home, and Kate lifted her glass in a small, crooked toast. “To not pretending.” Ethan touched his glass to hers and said, “To the woman I married.” Then, softer: “And the one I’m still getting to know.”
What a beautiful adventures and relationship to look into.
