The Open Door by Laurelin Paige
4.0
Reviewed on my blog, Becky on Books, on 9/15/19.
The Open Door is a perfect example of a 1001 Dark Nights book--it absolutely stands on its own, but it also offers a little extra to those who have read other books in the series or even just by [a:Laurelin Paige|7056140|Laurelin Paige|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1564522972p2/7056140.jpg] (Trish and Nate from [b:Dirty Filthy Fix|33510961|Dirty Filthy Fix (Fixed #5.5; 1001 Dark Nights #72)|Laurelin Paige|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1482169534l/33510961._SY75_.jpg|54271131] make an appearance; woot!) If you haven't read other books in The Found Duet, no worries--this is a self-contained story about a couple trying to reaffirm their commitment to each other through exploration--but there's teasers galore about the stories before (what do you mean he ghosted her before their wedding?)
The Open Door gives us a glimpse into the lives of Gwen and JC as a couple--the less-than-glamorous (but incredibly endearing) life they share with their three boys and their private lives in the bedroom (and the car, the playroom, and the Open Door...) Once again I'm amazed that a 1001 Dark Nights story managed to pack so much story into such a compact space: this isn't just a steamy erotic romance, it's also a very sweet story about a couple learning how to communicate their wants and needs to each other more effectively to strengthen their bond.
Plus, it's really, really hot. Let's not lose track of that. ;)
Rating: 4 stars / A-
