If you're into wife sharing then you can look no further. A really excellent collection, no husband humiliation, everyone on same page.. ie. being proud of your wife and having the courage to share. One thing I found amusing was in one of the books, won't say which, the wife, husband and potential lover were sitting in a cafe discussing how to get it on..bizarre!
I had to leave the books 2rds thro' as I was getting too hot under the collar, finishing them tho' was just amazing, might visit more of Raven's sharing books if they're half as good as this lot..nice one Raven, 10/10

Shared Wives - Five Hotwife Novellas

Shared Wives Collection - Five Hotwife Novellas An Erotic Bundle contains 5 of the books from the Shared Wives series by Raven Merlot.

1. Sharing Jessica - Seven days to explore
Sharing Jessica is the eighth book in the Shared Wives series. This story is about all about discovering what your marriage and partner can live with as you figure out what turns you on. Take one married couple, Jessica and Brian, one therapist with an interesting suggestion, one cruise catering to alternative lifestyles, and you end up with seven days of exploration in every way. The question at the end is what will Jessica and Brian want to do once they set foot back on land.

2. Sharing Vivian - Slow burn into lava hotness
Sharing Vivian is the third book in the Shared Wives series. This story is a slow burn to what you know will be a lava hot climax. The story is about married couple Vivian and Elliot. He is very successful and rich, has a daily routine, and seems not to stray from things very much. She on the other hand goes through her life staying to her routine and fitting into his world, playing her part. But things are feeling unfulfilling to her and that is where things will take a decidedly very naughty turn for both of them as they stumble upon something that opens up their world and derails the daily routine entirely.

3. Sharing Rachel - Fantasy to exploration
Sharing Rachel is the fourth book in the Shared Wives series. This is another sizzling hot and erotic story by a smutty author, in the best way that is. The story is about about married couple Rachel and Caleb who have been happy and living the normal suburban life for twenty years. But Rachel is starting to feel like there is something missing. It all starts with a fantasy with a journey that takes them to places they never thought about before.

4. Sharing Samantha - Taking chances and discovering new delights
Sharing Samantha is the eighth book in the Shared Wives series and continues the sizzling hot stories. This time it is on a film set that Samantha and Mark's most intimate world finds new desires and scripts, with the willing assistance of Lucas. The edges are blurred, new desires are revealed, and a new way of seeing things is opened up for Mark and Samantha.

5. Sharing Sarah - Rekindling her desire
Sharing Sarah is the first book in the Shared Wives series. This book is a lot longer than the author's usual stories, so I was not sure what to expect as sometimes changing lengths does not work. But as usual the story is still smoking hot, sensual and fast moving.

There are fourteen women (so far) that make up the Shared Wives series of female erotica by Raven Merlot. I must correct myself for “female erotica” is such a simplistic description for her body of work. She is the creator of fiction with strong female leads, who if they don’t know what they want, are willing to go find out what that is. The stories are very sexy, but they are written with care and sophistication; you won’t find smut in theses novellas, but you will find plenty of heat. She quite often employs serious research with her stories so don’t be surprised if you find yourself reaching for Wikipedia or a dictionary for some insight. These stories are filled with strength, weakness, gravity, humor, romance, and truth, always truth. If these women have one characteristic in common it is the need to truly be seen by their husbands, and occasionally by others. And Raven ensures that happens. Every. Single. Time.
This small collection contains five of my very favorites. I have read all of them several times and one of them, Sharing Vivian, is also a go-to for listening while I’m driving. Each novella is stand-alone though there are a few supporting characters who show up in more than one. Moreover, two of the Shared Wives are multiple tales; Kate has two parts to her story, while Natasha has four with a long awaited fifth on the way. Raven's most recently released Sharing Wives novella was Sharing Kate part two. If you have read it, and I hope you have, I know you enjoyed it. If not, I strongly suggest you first read another particular novella in this collection, Sharing Jessica. It will help to clarify the ending of Kate part two, and while it is not necessary, it will certainly spark an understanding and bring a smile to your face.
Keep them coming Raven, you are the best.

This is a great collection of shared wife stories. I read and reviewed each one as they were released, so I won’t repeat them all here.

What I love about each of these stories is that Merlot tees up each one with a question, or a desire or a “what if”, and then she weaves it into a story that not only explores it but breathes life into it. Several have made the top of my favorites list only to be dethroned by the next book.

I’ve been reading Raven Merlot’s work for many years now, and her Sharing Wives series is my favorite. One of the very few that I enjoy enough to come back and read again.
