I stumbled upon Reddit r/RomanceBooks about free use, and I wondered if that's what I thought. Turns out, it is exactly what I thought.

I didn't need the detail that one of the groom's cock was bigger than her husband's, so it stretched her out in a way that she had never been stretched out before LOL

I feel like the sex could have been written just a tad bit hotter, but overall I liked the story.

Note: The bride has sex with 4 groomsmen on her wedding night while the husband watches.

I received an ARC from Booksprout. This is my honest review.

The Right Type of Dirty Wedding Presents

I did not get that for my gift from my hubby. I'm feeling like I may have gotten ripped off. 😂 Mason should be in the running for husband of the year!

Four sets of hands roam my body, and I close my eyes and groan from the pleasure. Holy fuck, this is erotic.

I listened to this as part of Freeuse Wedding Series: 5 Wife Sharing Stories , as well as read along with my copy of the book. The narrator is Melody Mae. The recording quality isn't crisp, but Melody does a good job otherwise.

This was a really steamy, short read about Vanessa who was getting married to her man and gets a wedding gift of being able to be used by his four groomsmen while her husband watches, on her wedding night. I love steamy reads so I enjoyed the steamy scenes but I do wish we could have got a little bit more information about the characters and what they were like. This was basically a scene of a wife totally enjoying herself while her husband watches. It was a quick read that I enjoyed reading before I went to bed for the night.

This one was a good dirty read. There was a bit of a love story in the background for those who need that, but mostly it's a guilty pleasure if the tropes and kinks align with what you're into.

Our heroine gets a wedding gift from her new husband that she will never forget.

This is an erotic story featuring a free use hotwife. The story is well written and easy to read with a fun cast of characters. The plot moves at a nice pace as we watch our heroine have fun with multiple partners. It is fun to watch things unfold and the resulting steam is certainly enjoyable. Overall, a very enjoyable story and I look forward to more from this author.

Highly recommended.

SUMMARY: (SPOILER WARNING)

After hearing about her bridesmaid, Nadia's adventures in freeuse hotwife kink, Vanessa has been curious. And when she told her fiancé about it, he seemed into it too.

So when her finance, Mason, offers up his groomsman (and best friends) to her as a wedding present, it's their first adventure into the freeuse hotwife kink.

-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
REVIEW:

We first met Vanessa in Nadia's story, and I was hoping she'd get a story of her own too. So this was a cool continuation.

I liked how her new husband was involved in the whole thing instead of being absent for most of it like Nadia's husband. I preferred this format and it made it hotter in my opinion.

I enjoyed the story better than Nadia's, especially because she knows the all the guys involved, which made it more intimate and sexier. I liked how Mason directed them as well and played his part by taking charge.

The only thing I didn't love was the ending was kind of weird. Like Mason says he doesn't think he'd want to do it again, but he seemed super into it the whole time. So that seemed out of left field and was a little bittersweet.

Overall though, it was a hot and sexy quickie. I enjoyed that her hubby took charge from the planning to the actual act. Loved that and I enjoyed the story all around.

Her wedding day couldn’t of gone better
Vanessa and Mason were deeply in love . They had gone through a rough patch but they had worked out they were better together.
They had plans to make Vanessa a hot wife but she had to be married first . But what Vanessa didn’t foresee was the fact that her now Husband planned for all the groomsmen to come and help celebrate on their wedding night. Vanessa was about to have a night of her life and be used just like she wanted with her husband there watching and tell us what to do, would it be everything she hoped for??
Oh Lala this is one hot read. You could feel the excitement with every breath that Vanessa took. And having her husband there watching and telling them what to do was just tantalising. I really enjoyed the passion and the chemistry that they shared even though It was all completely lust! A very enjoyable short read.

Ms. Cross is an excellent storyteller, combining an actual story with an erotic telling (pun intended). She does it in a way that arouses one's senses without digging in the gutter. In a word, it's hot.

In Borrowing the Bride, Vanessa receives the fulfillment of one of her sexual fantasies as a wedding gift from her new husband. It may not be everybody's cup of tea, but it works for them, and as long as it's open and above board, whose business is it but theirs alone?

There's a lot of punch packed into such a short narrative, and little gets left to the imagination, although it leaves you wanting more...and more. The stories are erotic without being dirty, and I will be reading as much of Ms. Cross' work as I have the opportunity.

This story was the perfect length. We got all the details we needed before the climax and we didn't have to read anything that wasn't directly relevant to the story. There was enough character development that we felt we knew the characters well


Love the use of language specific to the kinks and fetishes within. I am definitely a sucker for "group activities" and free use.

If you like super sexy, straight to the point, group play erotica, you will absolutely love this.

I look forward to reading more works from Lacey Cross.

"Borrowing the Bride" is a quick story about a groom fulfilling a number of a kinky couple's fantasies during their first day as husband and hotwife.

The characters are likeable and the sex is good. No angst or humiliation. Only thing I would have liked was a bit of shock and awe to keep me guessing.

This was my first Lacey Cross book and I enjoyed the writing quality and style. I will definitely read more of her books.

This is a very short read of a very erotic but very very hot encounter. The bulk of the "story" is their wedeing night. Both adults consent to adding more men into their bedroom for the evening. There is some light bondage, everything is consensual. There is no action, violence or humor. It's just a short story to get you "hot and bothered.".

To start marriage Mason kicks off with giving his newly minted bride Vanessa 2 gifts. 1st. they get up to naughty free use fun the day of their wedding, and after a Hotwife one-off. It's a very hot and spicy duo of presents that not only the bride/groom get to enjoy. At least Vanessa will never be wondering what if about her hubby's BFF again.

Hot

I really enjoyed this book. After a long relationship with a 2 week break when their ideas of marriage didn't match they get married. Based on some stuff and things experienced during their break, they discovered many kinks. One kink is being a Hotwife, she agrees after they are married. His wedding gift? Being a Hotwife with 4 of his friends. Very good story I will read more.

Dirty series, lots of fun

This novella begins well, we get a good idea of what each of the characters have gone through to get to where they are in their relationship. On her wedding day, she gets a wish fulfilled and becomes a free use toy, and it is just as filthy, sexy and wild as she was hoping it would be!

This book was a quick read. It all takes place in one day. There is not alot of build up to romance you come into the story and jump right in to a wedding day and night. I could have used some more supporting information about the heroine and her husband.

Turn a cliche

What should have been a ho-hum story actually worked. The basic premise of a new bride shared on her wedding night runs hot and hard. It also has potential for recurring characters.

Solid recommendation

And exceptional story for its type

The story and writing are very good. The sex was hot, and the emotions seemed real.

In my experience, everyone acted just the way that they should have!

From “I do” to “do me”

Vanessa’s husband wastes no time fulfilling his new bride’s desire to be a hotwife. And why not, when there’s a whole bunch of groomsmen ready and willing!

Smutty book, and I love all the smut! It isn’t a long book so can be read quickly, sometimes nice to read quickly when you don’t have time to read a long drawn out story.

Vanessa (h) and Mason (H) are enjoying their wedding day together, complete with gifts, his first being that it’s a freeuse day to intersperse with their wedding activities. Mason’s second gift to her comes in the form of the four groomsmen who’ll be joining her on their wedding night to satisfy her desire to be a hotwife. Ultra-hot and steamy menage hotwife quickie.

the bride, groom … and the grooms men?!?

What’s a hot wife to do when she’s tied to the bed with 4 grooms men and her hot hubby are staring at her with lust? This one was so hot, I loved how into they both were and they kept checking in on each other to make sure they were fine. So sweet!.
