While I'm very happy you finally renamed this chapter, I'm disappointed it's not a new chapter only because the story was that good.
An excellent book. And I really mean book as this was a well written and thought out story. I loved the character development and they way every chapter built on the other until the end. Well done and please keep up the good work.
Brilliantly written stories, enjoyed how the story unfolded. Would read anything else you put out there as your stories are so engaging.
What a superb analysis of growing passion and actual female sexual excitement!
This was an interesting series. The character development and erotica were certainly above average, though a little more editing probably would have helped. Far more interesting to me though was the twist the author introduced in this final installment when one of the husbands discovered the affair. Besides allowing for some different erotica it also radically altered how the two women were portrayed and offered fascinating insight into the overall fantasy which this series portrayed. To explain:
In the earlier installments the author went to great pains to describe the two men as being good guys and decent husbands, and the two marriages as working even if they weren’t perfect. And the author also made it clear that the two women were deliberately lying to and cheating on their husbands for an extended period of time. Yet when Patrick discovered the affair, said he was okay with it, and then openly and honestly asked his wife for quid pro quo in return, he was quickly turned into a bad guy by both women because *his* needs were somehow less important and morally pure than theirs! The blatant hypocrisy of this was astounding even if it was all too realistic, and was even acknowledged by the protagonist at one point! I think doing this was quite brave of the author, since for me it quickly turned my attitude towards the two women from sympathy to disdain, and also opened the door for thinking about what might come next for them. The protagonist’s marriage will likely survive, because her husband secretly wanted to be a cuckold all along, but her friend’s marriage to Patrick may very well be over – hooray? An interesting fantasy indeed. Five stars for this chapter and four and a half for the series overall.
Evil witches. Both protagonist. No sympathy for them. This was the PG version of Housewives at Play.
