This is the second book in the series and Robin continues her affair with Scott with her husband Peter’s unenthusiastic blessing, as he struggles to come to terms with his own feelings, confused that he enjoys watching his wife have sex with another man, while hating it at the same time.
With Robin splitting her time between her lover and her husband tensions begin to rise between the married couple, not helped by trust and communication issues, or Peter overhearing his wife say “I love you” to her lover after a hot and steamy ménage. Robin has a tendency not to tell Peter things she thinks he will not like until the last minute and then insists that she has already told him. She continues to be rather selfish, not at all grasping what conflicting emotions her husband is experiencing, simply wanting everything on her terms. Peter largely continues to give into her as he has self esteem issues when is comes to the opposite sex, although it is very clear he loves his wife dearly. In an effort to stand up to his wife and make his wife feel similar emotions, he gets her to agree to him dating other women, although she is clearly not comfortable with this arrangement.
Sean Geist has created an interesting scenario, as the husband and wife struggle to cope with living apart for long periods of time with the wife enjoying having a lover. Initially the story was more of the hotwife/cuckold genre but as the story unfolds it looks to be heading more towards either, a tale of swingers or marriage break up. Told from the Peters point of view it is hard not to like Peter, although I did find myself wishing he would stand up to his wife more often. He is slightly on the wimpy side and fears losing his wife but as the book progresses he grows more confident within his marriage and as he dips his toes into dating, other women in general. We still do not know much about Scott as to where his motivations lay or what his long term plans for Robin are, although but we did get a little insight towards the end when he thought he had a hold over Peter.
I felt the end to the book was a little rushed and more tension between the married couple would have helped the stories credibility, when the ultimatum came it was no great surprise, but with the little sample from book 3 included, it looks like this story has a little way to run yet.

Read all three of the series.and thought I had reviewed this along with the other two",
the wife Robyn.is just totally unlikeable.and what she does to her husband to even further humiliate him. just shows how she has totally cuckolded him now.it hasn't taken long for her to do it either!.the story is good moves along at a good rate but like a lot of these books you feel both sorry but infuriated at the husband who is still hopelessly in love with her.but she just treats him like dirt.whilst telling him he is her soulmate husband friend only one for her etc etc...whilst spending more and more time with her lover who lives many miles away.....but,her hubby got things wrong before they got to vegas.he kept telling her he didn't own her and he was ok with her having man friends.basically giving her a hall pass although he didn't realise this..she totally exploited that within a day of hitting vegas.she was even with her then new lover on their anniversary.the main reason they had gone to vegas in the first place [book 1]..sums up what a cold self centred bitch Robyn really is!.and she continues to cuckold him more and more throughout the book..she lies constantly to him when she slips up..and tries to tell him she had told him about it at an earlier date!. great read.

Ughhh total b$tch for lead female
Notice I didn't say heroine because there is nothing heroic about her. She's not in an open marriage. She is a spoiled, selfish and deceitful cheater. It is awesome our guy is finally growing a pair. That is the Only reason ill read book 3. Refused to read one because there is nothing sexy about a doormat. After Peter's painfully slow coming of age in 2 I'm so glad I skipped the first one. I'm just really hoping that witch gets to experience the logical consequences of her totally self involved BS.

I could not type what I think on this page. The B*tch gets worse and so does the husband and it ends on another naff cliffhanger but you no what? I have to read book 3 to find out what happens to Robin. Not sure when its out as no release date from author.
