I absolutely loved this book! I love this Author. This book will have you on the edge of your seat. I read this book in two days that’s how great it was.
Too much in a good way because this book is awesome and I didn't put it down until I finished it. If you love Mary B. Morrison then you will love this book. She totally out did herself and introduced us to some way out there situations in this book. Sadly, this is one of her first books that I didn't agree with who the main character ended up with or some of the things that happened. I wanted to stand behind Natalie so bad but she pissed me off one too many times. I think she took her "I am a strong black woman in control and will never stand for disrespect" mentality a bit too far. What Nick did in the beginning that pissed her off did not deserve all this mess in my strongest opinion. She completely overreacted and I am on Team Nick and Lola!
*Spoiler Alert* All in all I have to admit that since Lola was pregnant by her husband that she should have stayed with him but I wish that it had been Nick's baby and that him and Lola would have ended up married. I have a strong dislike for Natalie after all she put him through from the get go with the "you better not fall in love with me, and we should swing even though your not 100% okay with it" crap. I don't think she deserved him after all. Oh and did anyone else think it was strange how we found out his boss survived? Or how who his wife ended up being was kinda hidden on the last page? Or WAIT! How his former boss and rapist became one of their close friends! There isn't that much forgiveness on this Earth! Welp, all books aren't going to end the way I like so . . .
You know, I had no business reading this novel! It was written well enough and the storyline worked--what little I saw of it. My issue is that the in-your-face sex scenes, everything from swinging to bondage to homosexual sex to everything else one can think of had no place in my world. As a Christian, I knew better. LOL. I was a fan of Mary B. Morrison from back in the day so when I saw two of her novels at the library, especially since our Afro-American sections are greatly lacking, I picked them up. I thought to myself, I am a grown woman, I can handle reading this. I was wrong.
Having said all that, it was well-written...enough. Ms. Morrison has written characters and stories that were better, in my opinion. I know she is the Queen of Afro-American erotica these days, but this wasn't even erotica in my opinion. It was straight up raunchy and nasty. The plot troubled me a tiny bit because it wasn't as prevalent as the sex scenes were. I did want to slap the main characters upside their heads. However, the positive is that the story itself was fast-paced. I did finish because I refuse to stop reading any book in the middle. That's just me. I do wish that the author had chosen to make the story more about the characters and the plot and less about the sex. In spite of the title, it is a novel. I would have appreciated some story between the sex scenes.
Don't say this much about a book, but this one SUCKED! And not in a good way either..I was TOTALLY disappointed and I want my $$$ back!!!!!! There was WAY too much sex, and I'm far from a prude, but sex for sex's sake hell to the no!!! Honey B or Mary which ever...read you Soulmates series and enjoyed it, but not this hot mess, from the characters to the lack pf reasonable plotpots and character development, I won't be reading anything by Honey B. BTW I don't know 1 blk man that could be raped and wouldn't try to have some sort of revenge on his attacker...Makes no sense..Won't be reading anything with Honey B, Mary Morrison MAYBE, but this turned me off to the rest of your books...Plus it took me weeks to finish it , for lack of interest. I had to FORCE myself to finish it...not the sign of a good read JMHO
I started reading this book, Jan. 20, 2014 and forgot to log in on Goodreads.com. I enjoyed the book but it was too sexually explicit for me. I was surprised that Flint lived and Nick & Natalie married and had a son. I thought he married Lola. She stayed with DeVaughn. I hate Flint raped Nick. He reaped Natalie via her anal. Karma is a b****. What goes around comes around.
I originally gave it a two star rating but after sleeping on it I changed it to a one star rating. There was no real character development and the erotic scenes didn't enhance the book but overwhelmed.
