Story4.5 out of 5 stars 12
Over the course of two novels by Cooper S. Beckett, follow Jennifer and Ryan Lambert who have reached the very edge of their marital contentment, wondering if this is just what modern marriage looks like. When they meet the Shepards, they find Bruce and Paige so very sophisticated, witty...sexy. The Shepards don't seem to have any of the boredom that has crept into their own marriage. They're at ease, they're funny, and they're flirty. Everything makes more sense when Jennifer and Ryan find out the truth about Bruce and Paige. The Shepards are swingers, and the Lamberts want in.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 122
To make an open marriage work, Franklin and Celeste knew they needed to make sure no one else ever came between them. That meant there had to be rules. No overnights, no falling in love, and either one of them could ask the other to end an outside relationship if it became too much to deal with. It worked for nearly two decades, and their relentless focus on their own relationship let them turn a blind eye to the emotional wreckage they were leaving behind them.

I've never been afraid of the dark...but that doesn't mean I wanted to live in it. Maybe everyone wants what they can't have, but I should've thought it over before I unlocked the door to their forbidden world. Number One is mostly silent. He watches me very carefully. Number Two is mostly gentle. But it's the other side of him I like best. Number Three is mostly reserved. It was carnal, it was sensual, and it was erotic. That's it. That's all it was supposed to be. A trip into the dark. A peek into the forbidden. I just didn't expect to like them.

An affair: It can rob a couple of their relationship, their happiness, their very identity. And yet this extremely common human experience is so poorly understood. Adultery has existed since marriage was invented, and so, too, the prohibition against it - in fact it has a tenacity that marriage can only envy. Iconic couples' therapist and best-selling author of Mating in Captivity Esther Perel returns with a groundbreaking and provocative look at infidelity, arguing for a more nuanced and less judgmental conversation about our transgressions.

Contemporary relationships are in a state of rapid evolution. These changes can and should empower people with the opportunity to develop partnerships based on their own sexualities, understandings, and agreements. This makes it possible to create what Kenneth Haslam, founder of the Kinsey Institute's Polyamory Archive, has called designer relationships. The possibilities are limitless, and thinking about a partnership as something people can craft allows for flexibility and change.

The project was simple: An attractive, successful magazine journalist, Robin Rinaldi, would move into a San Francisco apartment, join a dating site, and get laid. Never mind that she already owned a beautiful flat a few blocks away, that she was 44, or that she was married to a man she'd been in love with for 18 years. What followed - a year of sex, heartbreak, and unexpected revelation - is the topic of this riveting memoir, The Wild Oats Project.

THIS DUET IS BETTER THAN EBONY & IVORY
- By I HATE THIS NEW LOOK on 01-22-17
Publisher's Summary
We all come to a point in our lives where we finally ask the ever-looming question, "Is this all there is?" And most of us coast along afterwards, just accepting that the answer to that question is probably, "Yes, this is it." Sometimes, though, we're lucky. Sometimes we run into the right people at the right time.
Ryan and Jennifer are at that point in their marriage, asking that question. Luckily, tonight at a friend's holiday party, they're about to run into those very right people at exactly the right time. Bruce and Paige have successfully crossed the Rubicon into the realm of "what else there is." They've discovered delights and a way of living that Ryan and Jennifer have only ever dreamed about.
Their secret? Bruce and Paige are swingers. And very soon now, thanks to a chance meeting and a new friendship, Ryan and Jennifer will close their eyes, clasp hands, and jump into the deep end of life, exploring the untold wonders of sexuality. Hedonistic pleasures that they can't even fathom yet, threesomes and sex parties and a deep connection with friends and with each other. The swinging lifestyle.
Today is the day they proclaim: "There is more." Today is the day they change their lives.

HATED JENNIFER!😡😡😡😡
Jennifer was a BITCH! Let's face it, if Ryan had been the one that got all of the action and Jennifer had the low self esteem and couldn't even get the time of day, the author would have made it perfectly clear he was an ass hole and made him out to be the one in the wrong. So why is it alright for Jennifer to do the same thing and be seen as the victim?
I have a big problem with the double standards implied in this book. Making Jennifer seem so innocent and Ryan so guilty only enforces the stereotypes that men are always jerks!
Jennifer doesn't take any responsibility for her own actions towards her husband.
I felt so bad for Ryan and hoped he could find the strength to divorce that bitch of a wife and find someone who would love him just as he is.

Great story and very instructive
What did you like best about this story?
Set rules and expectations before you swing. Have lots of discussion on feelings.
What does Cooper S. Beckett and Kat Stark bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Sincerity in the characters. I believed the characters were modeled after real people.
Any additional comments?
Do a Part two. Continue the story.

Deliciously Sexy Tale of Two New Swingers
Would you consider the audio edition of A Life Less Monogamous to be better than the print version?
I would consider it to be better because Kat and Cooper do such an amazing job bringing the characters the life.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jennifer is my favorite character because her emotions are so raw. Cooper captures all the little subtleties of her interactions with others particularly reactions to touch. She is brave and takes control of her life in ways other women in long term marriages can only aspire to.
What does Cooper S. Beckett and Kat Stark bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
There is an extra dimension of personality you get from the characters when hearing their experiences through the voices of Cooper and Kat.
Any additional comments?
This book does an excellent job portraying what it is like to step into the new, exciting world that is swinging.
