Disclaimer: I read this novella as serialised online at medium.com. I don't know if anything will be changed when it is released as an eBook later this week.

Bran and Joey have been dating since their early teens, and though it has been difficult, they have "saved themselves for marriage". The big day has finally arrived, and when they retire to their honeymoon suite, they discover Bran is too large for Joey to accommodate. Add to this Joey's firm conviction that failure to consummate their marriage on the wedding night will doom their relationship, and an unconventional solution seems necessary...

It's a novel concept in a genre that primarily works by inserting new characters into tried-and-true plots. I think it works well - Bran and Joey are a sweet couple, and there is plenty of "inserting" done by almost every named character.

The sex is hot and varied, and there is no shaming or negativity in evidence - both Bran and Joey experience some self-doubt, but they get through it by relying on each other and their friends.

If I have one criticism, it's that, for a virgin bride, Joey gets very good at what she does very quickly - but I think that's the wedding night we all dream of - even if most of us have fewer guest participants if/when our night comes.… (más)

This might be the sweetest, most joyful hotwife story I've yet read. I particularly like that it is told from the wife's perspective.

When Zoe's friend discovers Zoe's husband Simon has a blog dedicated to hotwife memes, Zoe is first shocked, then intrigued and a little excited as she explores a side of her husband she didn't know existed.

Zoe and Simon discuss what she's discovered. He tells her he'd love for her to date outside their marriage and she discovers this is something she's like to try.

Most of this "novelette" is devoted to Zoe heading out the next night, accompanied by her friend Michaela, looking for the right man.

This is a short, raunchy, feel-good story in which everyone gets their happy ending. Recommended.… (más)

A sharing, caring, loving, trusting opening of a relationship

This is a positive, inspiring look at a couple entering "the lifestyle.

Ana and Rob are in their thirties and happily married. When she tells him she was hit on by a woman at the gym, he at first treats it as a joke, then encourages her to respond and see where it goes.

We experience the story from Rob's perspective, mostly through discussions with Ana before and after her meetings (and eventually dates) with Ellie. There is no angst or jealousy evident and he seeks to constantly reassure her of his acceptance of the change in their relationship.

Everyone is open and happy and the sex is great and that's just how sharing should work. Recommended to anyone interested in shame and angst-free "lifestyle" romance.… (más)
