I enjoyed this book and found it a refreshing change from reading too many stories about cheating spouses, hotwives and cuckolding.
It was a plausible story describing how a seemingly "normal" couple could broaden their horizons with moderately experienced neighbours thanks to an adult party game.
There are no unnatural changes in character or behavior, no non-consensual sex, no humiliation, no hurt and minimal angst but there is a little anxiety as Kris and Dave cautiously cross the threshold from fantasy to reality.
I enjoyed the book and characters enough that it went by quickly and left me wanting to read more about the characters and their adventures. Fun read.
This is a great little novella about two couples playing a sexy game, that I’ve graded on my short story scale. It’s longer than most short stories (over 100 pages) but deals with a lead-up and one pretty crazy night.
The story starts with Kris finding a sexy game in neighbour and BFF Lisa’s garage. The game is a wonderful tease as uptight Kris and Dave play with more open minded Lisa and Emilio. It’s an eye-opening experience for Kris and David. Can the genie ever be put back in the bottle?
Through the evening, there are revelations by both Kris and Dave about their partner that I thought were insightful. At one point, Kris thinks:
“It reminded her that Dave was a man, and not just her husband and a father. All those carnal things that had ignited her when they were younger were still inside him. Seeing Dave get another woman off like that did make Kris want him more.”
And
“Kris had fallen into the trap of being a wife and mother first, fallen into letting her routine be her life. She’d forgotten what it was like to be a woman first—a woman men appreciated and lusted for.l
And David thinks:
“Kris was incandescent. He would never tell her, but it was like she was born to be watched … “
And
“he couldn’t wait to get to know the Kris who’d come out of her cocoon tonight.”
Some things to think about for long-married couples who slip into believing their Mommy and Daddy roles define them. It would be interesting to see whether Kris and Dave press on with their new understandings.
Two couples spend an evening playing an adult board game with escalating sexual situations. It’s one couples first time swinging but they get into it quickly. The story is a little mild but a fun read with no cuckolding or humiliation.
Loved this book..two couples play a jenga style sex game and from there, it progresses to full on swapping. Another scorcher from the Queen, Ms Kirsten
A really liked this book from beginning to end. The premise was different, the characters appealing and the sex was hot from beginning to end. Kirsten's books are always well written and this book was no exception. I highly recommend it.
from shrinking violet to party central, an old game starts her feelings of inadequacy so she thinks maybe this game could be quite fun so together with her hubby who's all in from the get go and her friends they agree to get together and give the game a go and boy do they
