What do reviewers say?
Jade Magazine says “These stories turn the spotlight well and truly on partner swapping from the first-time ‘virgins’ to the scene to the seasoned, well-versed swingers; from straight husband and wife combos to same sex switching and full-on foursomes.The reader is sensually invited to open their mind to the possibilities and the pleasures…”
Reviewe Matt Richards said “This book is full of many good stories. For example the wonderful story by Elizabeth Black, Like a Moth to a Flame, where the Mistress is not all she seems. In Courtney James’ Quay Party, one beautiful lady is struggling to keep up with Jacque. And do I want to see that one tattoo on the two stunning ladies? I loved this idea created by Giselle Renade. I would also loved to have seen the old dress recalled by two old friends as well as the activities that then ensued by the new couple; This was a lovely story by Viva Jones. And then not forgetting, Alive by Clarice Clique, a story full of substance that it is far more than just erotic prose.” 5 stars!

One Item or Fewer by Elizabeth Coldwell – Honor and Owen fantasise about wife-sharing, and their friend Rob is the object of Honor’s desires.

So when Carol brings her new boyfriend, Rob, to meet Susie and her husband Nigel, the girls have a lot of catching up to do. Then Carol asks Susie if she still has her old red “slut” dress, and things start to hot up. And when Susie puts it on to show the boys, things get a whole lot hotter.
Party Favour by Fierce Dolan – Wushu Master Aja has no need for fear, though bringing herself close to submission is a delicious taunt – just to be near it, to see what it’s like, to see if it’s even possible. When she indulges her ideal fantasy as group bottom at her favourite scening engagement, can she handle total submission? Will she get more than she bargains for when she’s finally blindfolded and bound? Cody knows what he craves despite that she’s unattainable. Sating his lust in other ways, he resigns himself to guilty pleasures that change his perspective of sex and relationships forever.
Tied Up In Knots by Antonia Adams – When Will wakes up to find he is naked and tied to his own bed, with no memory of getting there, he suspects it’s his jealous girlfriend’s idea of revenge.

Rocking it Old School by Lynn Lake – Hailey Logan had been playing with Eugene and Myron in a garage band – The X-urbanites – for two months now, and it was obvious to the music-serious 18-year-old they were going nowhere. The two boys were more interested in getting into her pants than getting any better, or any gigs. Hailey knew she didn’t have the diva-licious good looks of a Mariah Carey or Faith Hill – she was more punk than princess – but she had the drive and ambition, and a pretty good set of pipes. All she needed were the right men to help guide her along.
Good Neighbours by Angel Propps – When Lisa and Chrissie meet their new neighbours, Jo and Marie, the foursome do not swap casseroles as a “welcome to the neighbourhood” gift, they swap partners and some very interesting toys. It gives the term Love Thy Neighbour a whole new meaning!

There’d always been rumours about Sara and the 1927 college football team known as the “Howlin’ Pack”.

They begin the long arduous journey to find them, unsure how their journey will end, yet knowing they have no choice but to search for these people. In Scotland they discover a group who freely share their bodies. Mara and Daniel are forced to question how far they’ll go to fit in with the last remnants of society.
The Couple with the Dragon Tattoo by Giselle Renarde – Marva and Gerry consider themselves a pretty boring couple.

When the women offer to show Marva and Gerry the dragon tattoo that spans both their bodies, will they find an escape from monogamy is also an escape from monotony?
Intrigued by Sommer Marsden - You don’t screw with a good friendship–not the kind where everyone gets along. But when beautiful Dana McClearly suggests that maybe Daniel and Eileen step their friendship up a notch, Eileen is all ears. Dana suggests a little switch-up on traditional friendship, so to speak. The plan is simple. They meet at a venue as couples and during the intermission, take a quick break to experience the other’s spouse, then they leave as they came. As couples.

But now she gets to find out …

His wife would be like a moth to a flame.
Kicks by Landon Dixon – He found her standing out in the rain, fuming that her husband had neglected to pick her up, yet again. He was willing to give her a ride – anywhere she wanted.

Sometimes it takes more than two …

To celebrate the bank holiday weekend we’re spotlighting four of our favourite sexy reads. There is also 50% off all titles on the Xcite site (www.xcitebooks.co.uk) until Monday. Today we’re looking at Awakening from Elene Sallinger, winner of the New Writing Competition at the Festival of Romance 2011.
What’s it about?
This is the story of Claire Ryan and Evan Lang. 35-year-old Claire joins a local book club for romance readers in order to get over the breakdown of her 10-year relationship, there she meets book shop owner Evan, a dominant man who has never recovered from the sudden death of his submissive wife. As their relationship develops and they embark on the path of Claire’s submission, it becomes harder and harder for Evan to keep his emotional distance. Claire is open and responsive and he wants her badly, but refuses to let himself go.
As Claire falls deeper in love with Evan, she realises that he is holding back and decides to end their relationship, forcing Evan to confront his own past and his feelings in order to save his new love.
What do reviewers say?
Rachel Simons said ”I really enjoyed Awakening, I love romance novels with an extra added spice and this was perfect for me. Both Claire and Evan were grieving, Claire from her relationship break-up and Evan due to his wife dying. Evan really fell for Claire but refuses to get over his dead wife, there was a lot of emotional baggage on both sides…. I liked that Awakening was written with compassion and there is a good story to it and not just about sex, Obviously there was some BDSM and sex in the book but not too much to detract from the main story.” 5 stars
Amazon reviewer Venus said “I absolutely loved this book, I recommend this to anyone who enjoys good erotica… Two magnets who fight the resistance of love. Really erotic and worth the read.” 5 stars read the rest here.
