Looking into the marriage of Emily and Rasul, you would never think that the dark deeds done behind their bedroom door were actually happening, but for Emily doing whatever it takes to make her husband happy makes her happy. Coming from a home that wasn’t the best, Emily has an issue with men, and it has taken a tough soldier like Rasul to make her feel like a woman, but there is just one thing that Emily wants that she isn’t sure her husband can give her…a third. Will bringing another person into their home ruin the marriage Emily never thought she would have or will it bring them closer than they already were?

Rasul can’t get passed the dreams that he has of overseas, the things that he did – both voluntarily and ordered – have haunted him since. But there is something about Emily that makes him want to be a better man. Rasul is determined to give her everything that she could ever want, no matter what the cost to his pride. When Emily asked about a third, Rasul may have just hit his limit of willingness. Will his heart out weight his mind when it comes to giving Emily everything or will he have to walk away from the woman who has healed him with her love?

While this is the first story that I have read of Cara McKenna’s, I was surprised at how much I liked it. The characters were well developed and the research she must have done into the Middle Eastern culture came through in her understanding of Rasul. While I wasn’t a big fan of the third option in this story, I think that Ms. McKenna pulled it off really well and made the story work with the dominate personalities of her characters. I will be looking for other works by Ms. McKenna, and anyone looking for a sexy read that will keep you enthralled than this is the book for you. ( )

A quick glimpse of Rasul and Emily's life. I wish there was a prequel on how these two came together. But kudos to the author for creating such interesting and complex character in such a short span of pages. ( )
