I loved it!!!!
I loved how the characters were just living normal lives, and dealing with all the same normal crap we all do. They had the same needs, and wants sexually that all people do, and dealt with all the same fears. The sex scenes were amazing, and the story line injected so much humor, I was continually laughing. I just wished it were longer, and continued on until for another year or so.

Well, that was an interesting read. A pastor’s wife is worried he’s going to step out on her because she has to be on pelvic rest during pregnancy. So she arranges for him to hook up with their 60-year-old neighbor. What follows is comedic and empowering. I wouldn’t read this one again, but I would read more in this series, and that’s saying something.
