Greg's eyes...
I'm God's gift to women. With my handsome face, great physique and natural charm I can have any woman that I come into contact with. AND it appears that the duration of my marriage has consisted of me doing just that with the ability to flip the script on my Wifey! I mean after all I'm a playa and she knew what she was getting into! But she needs not worry she's the only one I'm in love with!
Rena's eyes...
I don't understand why my husband consistently steps out on our marriage. Haven't I been his everything? True he was a playa when we met, but I assumed that I could be the one that changed him from his old ways. I mean come on I'm a classy, professional woman he can't do any better than this! Maybe I'll just have to open his eyes and show him that things aren't always what they seem!
Therapist...
Go outside the marriage in order to be on one accord!
Greg's eyes...
I CAN CHEAT WITH NO CONSEQUENCES! This is all to the good! Men lay around wishing that they had it as good as I did! I'm going to have my cake and his too! I should have agreed to counseling long time ago. Now I can tolerate being faithful!
Rena's eyes...
I CAN FINALLY INDULGE MY FANTASIES! Well of course Hubby has to think that it's not what a girl wants. It's a shame that I'm going to have to show him how this thing is really done. When I'm finished he won't know what hit him!
Them...
How could you, do what you did when you did what you did to me?
My eyes...
Initially I was shocked to find a storyline in the beginning. Once all of the sex moved in, it's as if the story dipped off tremendously and looses the little oomph it did have. DARE I mention the major grammatical errors? First it was spelling, now its math...was I the only one lost? It said 11 years married, then it says that they met 8 years ago in college, shortly after that it says 5 years married, on deeper it says she's been in her practice 15 years. What's going on with that? This book offered some rather nauseating scenes. I was hoping that SAFE SEX would play a role because it did mention one condom but nope it didn't. I love that GOD'S voice made an appearance I believe that it helped!
F.Y.I. Real men DON'T & Classy isn't consistently saying that you are....

Oh my goodness this book had me stuck! I finished this book in one day and it had me stuck. This book touch topics like humiliation, forgiveness, selfishness, greediness and love. A married couple dipped their feet into adding “spice” to their bed and from there things get crappy.

This book was ok very unrealistic tbh some of the story didn’t make sense to me, the editing was horrible, in the beginning they were married 11 years than somewhere else in the story it was 5, some stuff just didn’t make sense

Steamy, Steamier, Steamiest! Ferguson's first novel is just as the title says, "Swingers". The novel follows a married couple Rena & Greg who are having marital trouble. After what amounts to yet another affair being blown wide open, Rena gives Greg one last option, marriage counseling. However, things quickly go from the couple trying to help keep their marriage in tact, to the idea of swinging. When all along, Rena has a growing bi-curiousity that she is very willing to explore and understand. Greg being the alpha male sees this as an all out opportunity for a endless buffett of women to sate his very strong libidonious appetite.
Ferguson not only delves into the "lifestyle" but also the emotional issues at stake for such an undertaking. Greg and Rena have built a very shaky house of cards and through one careless act, causes that house to fall down around their ears. Readers are given detail after detail of the emotional and physical aspects that the couple goes through. The one thing that is very clear from the very beginning of the novel is that Rena is very much exploring a different side of herself. She is cautious yet very willing to understand and learn. Greg however still only sees this as a way to have conquests. He doesn't care about what his wife is going through.
Greg does finally learn some lessons but in the end it may be lessons learned too late to save him or his marriage.

3.5 STARS
Greg and Rena are having serious problems. Rena is set on getting revenge and in her quest she almost destroys several lives.
The title says it all. There is a ton of sex in this book but it was a good read even with all the sex, there is a story. As I read what Torrian laid out, I wanted to shake all the characters because not a one of them had any sense.
Don't want to give anything away but this is a good book, not to long only took me a few hours. But there are orgies, f/f, m/m/f, f/f/m sex, oral sex and anal sex so if this is not your cup of tea, you may want to avoid this book.

Rena and Greg have hit a roadblock in their marriage and decided to seek counseling, in hopes of saving it. At the encouragement of their counselor, they begin to explore options to enhance their relationship. There’s only one problem…Greg didn’t expect for his wife to enjoy the lifestyle so much.
While I don’t blame Rena for getting her lick back, I thought she went too far. Didn’t stop me from reading the book in one sitting tho.

This read was an eye opening experience!!! The ideal of a African~American woman introducing such a sinister plan all for revenge brings a reader to realize HURT ~EMBARESSMENT~and SHAME can cause one to make CARELESS decisions. The author does a wonderful job of expressing both sides of the story ....

Just when you thought you knew what was going on...the twists in the book were unexpected and explosive. Greg and Rena's marriage exemplifies what happens in marriage when honest communication and trust completely breaks down and begins to ruin not only their relationship but themselves, their lifestyle and those around them. It was a great read.

Rena and Greg were a couple headed for trouble. Greg had a problem that drove Rena to revenge. Her revenge may have been sweet for the moment but it caused them to lose everything they had. It took faith to give them a fresh start.
