Publisher's summary

One night - one seemingly insignificant choice - can change everything.

Jessica and Jake Snyder love each other, and their life together. Successful in their chosen careers, they reside in the picturesque, though at times stifling, Seattle suburb of Queens Ridge as they parent teenagers Ella and Tucker.

As so often happens in marriage, their romantic life falls casualty to busy schedules and repetitive routine, until one night, a stranger asks Jessica to dance. On a whim, Jake urges her to say yes, saying that he wants to watch this other man touch her, something that surprises Jessica by arousing her like never before. A door opens for them then, into a realm of exploration neither of them knew existed.

They create rules to protect their marriage, and are thrilled when their relationship is strengthened and enriched by deeper levels of communication and trust brought about by this exciting, but taboo behavior. That is, until Jessica keeps a secret from Jake and embarks on a tryst with an intriguing man from her past, who, when she tries to end things between them, decides to seek revenge.

What happens after that will threaten to destroy their world - and them.

Contains mature themes.

Outstanding!

great story, great sex, great suspense, and great narration! A must listen for those thinking about sex outside of marriage. It's not a bad thing, but proceed with caution.

Awesome Narration

One of the best narrators I’ve ever listened to. She was able to realistically express every emotion including anger, sadness, crying, joy and amazing sexuality. I’ll be searching for stories narrated by her.

The story:

First of all if you’re expecting a typical erotic hotwife story then you will probably be disappointed. Don’t get me wrong. There is hot explicit sex. But the story is really about the complete relationship between the husband and wife.

There is great character development and several side stories with other characters. The author does a great job of making the basic plot of wife sharing very realistic. Especially the tumultuous results of the wife’s cheating. I’ve read many books in the hotwife genre and the wife rarely pays for her indiscretions and deceiving of the husband. So I especially enjoyed this wife reaping what she sowed. (don’t worry, it all ends well)

I guess I’ll go ahead and admit that my eyes did get misty at times. I give credit to the narrator for that.

It's a long one but worth the effort.

A slow build up and very carefully written well worth the time it takes listen. It's painted in very fine detail with engaging characters and some searing shocks and interactions. The good news is the sex scenes are just as good, very hot without being the usual mechanical or disrespectful porn aimed at male audiences.

Loved This Book

I loved this book. Both my wife and I listened to it and highly enjoyed it and could relate to many aspects of it. I true story about love, not being ashamed of your own self or other and dealing with adversity. Like one of the other reviews my only negative to this book was the narrator and the low grumbling male voice. I also found it harder to hear and threw off the story telling a little. Most of the story is from the wife though so I still give this 5 stars and recommend it.

Interesting Conversations

My husband and I both listened to this one. He thought he was getting an erotica story and go so much more, actually liking the story. It spawned a lot of conversations. We pretty much had a conversation about this book each night, over the week we both listened to it.

Not spoilers but a tad bit of information that may well need to come up as the story enfolds:

I wish that the author would have put some of the blame back on Jake. He is the one who encouraged Jessica to go out alone and be with Andrew. He should have shouldered some of that blame. Instead he got a kitchen pass. It just didn't ring true for her to not once mention it was HIS idea and he is ever bit as culpable as she is. We felt he was a bit of an ass for not doing so and needed to man up to his own participation in this. His holier than thou attitude really made us not like him at all.

Jessica did a great job of holding her head up and continuing on with life after being shamed. We could all take a lesson there. I loved that her boss, Nancy, was understanding. And loved that Nancy told her she was extremely grateful the internet was not around during her first divorce as she sure wouldn't want what she did out for public consumption. Amen sister to that! Those of us in our 50s got that privilege to make our mistakes in somewhat relative anonymity. You poor young woman who have to deal with online crap of social media nowadays!

I loved how Jessica was able to look past Tiffany's outer armor, so to speak, and continue to encourage her and be kind. It would have been so easy for the author to take the route that just about any chick lit takes in so far as the seemingly 'perfect' woman is torn down when she has her own struggles in life and laid low with some sort of self righteous indignation of her female peers. How refreshing for women to shore each other up instead of tearing them down. (Tip for the younger women, become the goddess you are and do not tear down other women. We are all in this together and the nastiness that is rampant in our society needs to STOP! I for one am sick to death of it and really loved Jessica for what she did for Tiffany and Lizzie.)

Andrew should have been held accountable for what he did but I got it totally when Jessica chose to not pursue any sort of retribution. Having gone through a particularly nasty sexual harassment situation last year with my personal trainer, of which I could have made a huge stink over, in therapy, with both my husband therapist, it came down to my mental well being and was there any fruit on that tree? Was it worth the pain? It was not. I moved on and gained new skills for boundaries. And became a whole lot more open and understanding for other women in my situation and totally understood the whole #metoo movement.

We discussed how hard it had to be for Jessica and Jake to talk to their children. In her ex-husband's home. In the end, Jessica, in spite of their lifestyle choice, handled this situation with about as much grace as a woman can. And that should be appreciated by us all. I mean, there for the grace of god...... my husband being my dom, and us in a BDSM structured relationship for many of the 37 years together, the things we do in private is not something I would want broadcast to the neighborhood.

The author could have really mucked this story up with cliches and worse, but I think she did a great job. It was well worth the listen if for no other reason than my husband and I had some great conversations. I have never heard of her before and will explore her other books.

My only nitpick here is the narrator. She did a pretty good job but for the love, I wish narrators would stop the lower, softer voice for the main characters in audio books and it is not just her, it seems rampant now for narrators. Not all of us have that great of hearing. It is annoying to turn up the volume to hear the main character and all of a sudden get a shrill sharp loud voice of another character, such as Tiffany.

I am glad we listened to this. My husband has tasked me to find another book somewhat like this and that may well be hard to do. A very unique read.

Great Listen

This book is a great listen and exploration into this relationship dynamic. It is also a real look into what can happen, and how to avoid potential pitfalls through their mistakes.

real life

I loved the lives being told into the story. almost a story of a family, a couple + kids, life happenings and daily routine with a side of sex! Excellent plot and story line. well done!

Terrible & tedious

I have read all the books by this author. This one is an outlier and I wish Authors would stay in their lane.
Yuck.
