LOVER: Is a standalone ADULT FICTION/ EROTICA Novel by Marni Mann & Gia Riley and is also written in dual POV (West & Piper)
West and Piper are both to a sorts unhappy in their marriages, West has just been released from ice hockey due to one too many knock outs the only thing keeping his marriage fresh and alive is their active sex life, without that they have nothing.
Piper is holding her marriage together by a thin thread, thinking that getting away on vacation by the beach would bring their spark in the marriage back to life has failed dismally as her husband seems to be more married to his job and can’t seem to separate the two. She’s at her wits end on how to salvage their marriage and doing some digging around on the internet comes across a forum where married couples who have been in the same boat are part of a swingers group.
So with her husband's support and their last resort to bring some spice back into their relationship they both agree to give the Swingers lifestyle a shot. She reaches out to Tilly and from then on in it's all set into motion. Get ready for one crazy sexual frenzy where anything and everything goes, bar only two rules. But what happens when those rules get broken?
The two rules both parties have to adhere to : All four have to be present when it comes to their sexual interactions and the other is above all else use protection.
MY THOUGHTS: I knew going into this that I'd be walking out of my comfort zone and that's exactly what I wanted, this year I wanted to challenge myself to see where my cut off limits were so going into this I was prepared for all the taboo feels that we're going to come at me, and come at me they did.
I'm old school if neither are happy in a relationship, marriage you leave, you don't step out and seek a lover, you end all ties with the relationship you're in. So stepping into the realm of swingers all my inhibitions were left at the door.
I didn't think I would enjoy this book as much as I did, there were moments of trepidation, sadness, love towards these two characters and this book just reinforced why I love these authors so much, they aren't afraid to step out of the box and bring us something different, many won't like this but many more will and I highly recommend this.
