Kind of bored with the pace feeling too slow. Bit too much like an anthology of erotica, which I should have expected.

What a way to start the new year! I listened to this on audio and it was SO good. I know it says erotic in the title but for some reason I didn’t think it would be so spicy! 

It was an absolute joy to listen to because there was romance, spice, and mystery! All the best things in one perfect book! I loved following the stories of all of the widows and Nikki and her family. 

This book was truly a delight and I think everyone should read it!

This book was absolutely amazing, and not just for the erotic stories. The plot was engaging and the characters were all likable but complex.

Nikki and the widows will live rent-free in my head for a long time. As they tell each other erotic stories, all of the woman find renewed strength to live their lives on their terms. Sprinkled with romance and thriller subplots, this novel has a little bit of something for any reader. 

The erotic short stories are part of the fun (and some would say the the point of the book) but even if you want to skip them the book would read well.
