This was a fast, hot and steamy read! Chloe takes it upon herself to research alternative sexual experiences and bring it to her husband. He offers to up the ante for a night they won’t forget.
January 18, 2018
Chloe and Preston have great relationship and the sex is beyond steamy. The one thing that Preston keeps hinting at is them with another man. The last time they spoke about having a baby, Preston withdrew from her, until Chloe worked out that Preston needed to dominate, and she needed to submit.
Their relationship goes from strength to strength and has never been hotter, Preston was worried about showing that side of him when they first got together because Chloe was so young. Then Preston drops the bomb, he will give her a baby, but only after they have a threesome.
When Chloe’s mother works out that Chloe is sad she turns up and tells her that Preston loves her and that if doing what he wants gets her what she wants she should do it, that YOLO so live out his fantasies.
Deciding to take her mother’s advice, Chloe grabs a flight to where Preston is and when a sexy stranger called Niko starts talking to her and she mentions it to Preston, he leaves it up to her to seduce him for what they want. Even thought it was a means to get a baby, Chloe can’t believe the feelings that she has while being with Preston and Niko. After working through Preston’s insecurities that after being with another man, Preston decides it’s his mission to have as many booty calls as they can till he knocks her up. Although it was his condition, it made their relationship go from strength to strength.

I absolutely LOVED this novella from Lily Ryan!! She touched on a few topics with this book, but did not leave out the passion and heat that I have come to know (and love ;-) )
His Condition is the story of a couple who need different things from each other and learn to compromise to make each other happy. I was pulled into the story from the synopsis and was not disappointed once I actually read the book. Once I started, I rooted for this couple to get everything that they desired.
Lily Ryan is such a talented author...She has a way of connecting with her readers and tapping into their secret desires. For me, I feel like she is writing for my enjoyment (and I have never met her.) I love taking her books to bed and waking up the next morning to finish them.
I highly recommend this book. It is a quick read that leave you needing a cold shower and smiling. I look forward to reading more from Mrs. Ryan in the very near future!!!

Lily Ryan did an amazing job for her debut novel! This book was on fire and full of heat! The characters were well developed and the story was full of depth. I found it interesting how Lily went from past to present. I loved how we got a look into their past and then how they had changed as individuals and as a couple in the present. They have been through so much and their pasts are far from glorious. Preston has a lot of ghosts in his closet that hold him back from fully giving himself to Chloe. Their marriage is full of love and loyalty but there is a wedge in their relationship that is weighing them both down physically and emotionally.
Chloe and Preston are a complex married couple. Chloe has a dream to have a baby with the man she loves, while Preston's dream is to focus on his career. Preston's past effects his choices as an adult on whether or not he wants to start a family with Chloe. He feels insecure in himself to be a good parent and that he would screw up their children if they had any.
Chloe decides that it is time to take their sex life to a new level and decides to research the lifestyle of BDSM. She has no idea whether Preston will be on board with it, but it is worth a shot. Their relationship and marriage grows from incorporating this new lifestyle, but Preston wants to take it to another level by giving Chloe an ultimatum. In order for her to have a baby Preston wants to have a threesome with his wife and another man.
"My condition is that I want to watch you get f***ed by another man. You want a baby. I laid out my terms. Now you know what I want."
"What if I do it and you hate me afterward?"
"I'm asking for it. I won't be angry with you I promise. Now my hot sexy wife. The ball is in your court."
This story has so much meaning behind it and has such an amazing message! The question is does Chloe agree to a threesome? Is she able to trust her husband enough to give him the fantasy and desires he so wants and needs? Will their marriage be stronger from this ultimatum or will it cause them to grow further apart? You have to read to find out!
The only thing about this book that I wanted more of was more story! I felt like there could have been more length to it. There was so much talent and depth in the story that I felt like there could have been more. It ended to soon for me, but other then that this debut novel by Lily Ryan was fantastic and I can't wait to see what she has for us next!

Wow wow wow, this book!!! SEXY, STEAMY, HOT and I FLOVED every second of this book!! Talk about making my eyes sweat...... STEAMY is definitely a great way to describe HIS CONDITION
This book was all consuming and had me glued to every word, every scene wanting to know it all. Chloe married Preston her absolutely "everything" and loved him unconditionally the only thing she desperately craved was a baby...... but mentioning the B word to Preston changed him from a caring loving husband to a cold detached stranger.
That is until Preston comes up with what is basically an ultimatum...... his fantasy comes to life in return for her dream of becoming a mother.
I have to say Chloe's mother really surprised me, i was not expecting her comments or advice and i think it made Chloe a little mind blown by it as well, LOL
5 Erotic stars for this book.... i wish i could give it more +++++

"Chloe, I don't want to turn into my father. It'll kill everything good in me. Everything I worked hard to accomplish.”
All Chloe wants is the one thing every woman craves. To feel the life of her child growing inside of her and she had hoped Preston felt the same way. But there was the one thing he told her when they first met. It wasn't just because they were too young. It was something he believed that was best for any child. So he gave Chloe this one ultimatum. Could she see it through? Could she give him the one thing he wanted? No, be the one person who could give him his ultimate fantasy before he would finally give her hers? Wow this is one hot read. Preston loves Chloe with all his heart and that is clear to see in this story. A definite five star must-read from me. Each page is dripping with Hot Malton desire.

I had the pleasure of reading this before the release date, and I absolutely loved it! Lily Ryan is a new to me author and I'm now questioning whatever gods exist, why I had not found out about her sooner. I've never read a book with a plot like this. It's like a perfect fairy tale love story, with a little extra spice. The chemistry between the two main characters is mouth watering and makes me crave my happy ending. Just as I thought it couldn't get any better, the sexy stranger comes in. I found the book very well written.

Great read
Wow, I would give this book a 4.5 if could with the stars. Its a little short but still a great book. I know its almost every man s dream to see their wife with another man. I don't know if in could be done it though. I guess the way it happened was the best way since they wouldn't see each other again. I too, would be insecure that it was just my hard limit and that he wouldn't go through with his condition. Then being with the other man and her husband was hot. The sex was so explosive it jump off the page and pulled me in.

This was a unique book. From reading the description you get a feel of what’s going to happen in this book. I liked the idea but for some reason I wasn’t 100% invested in the story. I couldn’t connect. I didn’t care for Preston. I did like Chloe. Her love for Preston and what she wanted gave her a taste of something different but we were able to see her let her hair down. I did like the overall idea but the fact that it was hard to connect made it hard for me to love it. Overall it was a decent quick read with steam galore. 3 stars #2OCCJD

A short red hot read from Lily Ryan.
Chloe and Preston have a good life, the ideal marriage and plenty of steamy sex with some BDSM thrown in!
All's perfect in paradise until Chloe feels it's time for a baby. Then we see a different side to Preston..."First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a threesome for the baby carriage". I wasn't entirely on board with this but...it did make a steamy read!

A short and steamy read!! Chloe and Preston are married and have a great life together. When Chloe brings up having a baby Preston doesn’t react well and becomes distant from her, practically a stranger. Then Preston gives her what is almost an ultimatum, have a threesome with another man and he will give her what she truly wants...a baby. I loved the chemistry between Chloe and Preston. Such a wonderful story and one I enjoyed immensely.

Steamy, hot, sexy, combustible..... I don’t know how else to describe this book. His condition was not really what I was expecting but then again I jumped into this book not even reading the blurb or anything. Chloe & Preston although have a great relationship there was more needed. I loved the characters. Hot book!
September 16, 2018
Amazing read!!! Chloe and Preston take you through so many different emotions and feelings. Trust, love, sex, dom/sub relationships, cuckold, heartache, desires, fantasies, abuse, drugs, death.......and then baby!!!! This book catches your attention right from the opening sentence to the very last word.

Wow! Jaw drop, face flushed, hotness overload. From the blurb alone, you see that she wants a baby. The only way to get it, is doing a threesome with her husband. The uncertainty that follows feels true. Anyone would have doubts. Will I be enough afterwards, or will this turn into something else? Grab this quick read and find out!

This book is so good!
This one surprised me. It made me laugh and cry. At first, I wasn't sure I would get this one... but the further I read, the more I understood why Preston was the way he was. It is good read. 😃

Just made it to 4 stars...A super quick read, with plenty of steam. I just struggled to connect to or even like Preston, though I did end up liking Chloe, it was touch and go lol. Chloe's mum though? Loved her!!

It's a well written erotica. I prefer a strong leading female, but know many will relate to the main character. The male is a lying manipulative piece of work in my opinion bit hey everyone like a bad boy right.....?

Chloe and Preston's story was riveting. I couldn't out it down. And Niko...OMG! I loved this story.

I wasn't sure what to expect diving into this book. From the blurb I was so intrigued that I knew I had to read it. This was a major page turner and kept my interest until the last page!
Chloe and Preston have it all or so it would seem. Until Chloe announces she wants a baby. She sees this drastic change in the man she loves. He becomes cold and distant with her one request. So Chloe sets out on a mission to please her husband and gain a sense of their normalcy. Even when she is knee deep in her constant mission of pleasing him baby fever never subsides.
I loved this couple in the beginning and even through the BDSM style they adapted. Because who doesn't like to get a little kinky ;) The pleasing of partners goes both ways and if your partner is not comfortable then they shouldn't be forced or made to feel trapped. The situation angered me a little. Thats just not how it works, that's not how any of this works! lol
There were some majorly hot scenes in this and I loved it! Preston, Chloe and Niko together were amazing(I would have liked to see more of the mysteriously sexy Niko!). I higly recommend this book to anyone looking for an extremely sexy faced paced read.

Preston and Chloe have the perfect marriage. They're happy. They're in love. They have an amazing sex life. So what more could Chloe want? Well, a baby of course. But with her husband, it's not that simple. He doesn't want kids but he loves Chloe enough to give her what she wants. On one condition. How far would you go to get what you want?
I loved the chemistry between Chloe and Preston. They just fit. You could feel their love for one another. The relationship they have calls for a lot of trust in one another. They have to know how to read each other and depend on each other to know their limits. I was fascinated by every facet of their relationship. As for Preston's condition, I loved that he let Chloe choose the guy. I liked Niko and thought him and Chloe had the perfect amount of chemistry to make Preston's condition extra steamy.
This was a great hot and spicy read. This was my first read by Lily Ryan and I can safely say I'll be back for more.

An enjoyable short read with alot of steamy scenes, if this was a longer book I would of needed more back story but as a short story it worked. If you enjoy erotica with light BDSM this may be a book for you. From the blurb I was expecting more of a MFM book but isn't, it's a MF story with a single MFM scene.
Basically it is the story of a happily married couple with an amazing sex life, and follows the development of their relationship to include BDSM. The one thing Chloe is missing is a baby, the one thing Preston won't consider is a baby. Preston wants a threesome, the one thing Chloe won't consider.
