The Open Door by Laurelin Paige
5.0
Oh wee, gosh, whew!!! That was really hot!!! *continues fanning myself*
As someone who hasn't read the series yet (to my never ending dismay), I didn't find any trouble reading this novella in its own. But of course, for maximum reading experience, then read The Found Duet first.
The Open Door is a steamy, titillating and scandalous novella about a married couple joining a sex club. It's the story of Gwen and JC, who have been married for years and have three kids. Juggling crazy work schedules, taking care of 3 little humans plus friend obligations, these two have barely enough time to theirselves and only manages a few sexy times in between, sometimes not even. However, their mutual love and respect to each other is very strong so they've decided why not attend one of these hush-hush parties to get a feel of it.
I must admit that I find myself pausing every now and then as I read on and relate to what Gwen was experiencing. Her fears and insecurities was something I think every normal married woman faces daily, myself included. Keeping the flames and excitement of a marriage is an endeavor that must be done together by a couple. You know the saying; it takes two to tango. And it is up to the married couple whether they will need music to get their groove on or dance their way to their own rhythmn.
Nevertheless, this story is an eye opener and will really make you take a good look (well, I did) at your married life status. I loved the author's realistic take in this story and how well it has turned out. I loved it and couldn't wait to read more from the author!
