Six friends, three couples, and one game of Spin the Bottle with a kicker – the loser has to confess his or her most secret fantasy to their spouse.  What ensues are revelations with long-lasting repercussions and some decidedly steamy nights! 

~Master of the House~ 

As a female CEO vying in a competitive man’s world, Rena tires of decision-making and being the one in charge.  She asks her husband, Paul, if he would mind taking charge at home more often. 

Paul is more than willing.  He agrees readily, taking control of all aspects of their home life, in bed and out.  As they play their Dominant/submissive games at home, Rena finds a freedom and confidence that previously eluded her.  But just how far will Paul take this game?

I have to say, Rena is the woman in this book that I most easily identify with.  Her exhaustion with day-to-day decision-making and need to have someone else take the reigns for a while resonated with me strongly.  On particularly stressful days at work, I find I don’t even want to have to decide where I am going to go for lunch.  Therefore, it was easy for me to imagine how a woman in Rena’s lofty position in the business world would find that mental exertion almost unbearable at times.

Paul definitely pushes her limits on so many levels, but he makes it clear at all times that he will stop the moment that she says she needs him to.  He is very creative in the scenes he devises for her and succeeds admirably in delivering the space Rena needs in which to find her center. 
 

~Your Place or Mine?~ 

Married young and divorced quickly, Jackie and Rod have finally found their way back to each other after years apart.  But secrets threaten the happy marriage they’ve rebuilt, unless they can unleash their fantasies together…

This was a beautiful story of a couple reunited after a long separation, working to build their marriage solidly after a decidedly shaky start in their first try.  But as happy as they are the second time around, there are bound to be some fears regarding the stability of the relationship after they remarry.  What better way to dispel those fears than to open themselves up completely to each other?  And that is exactly what we enjoy watching Rod and Jackie do, in some very erotic ways… 

~Doctor, Doctor…~ 

After inheriting his uncle’s medical practice, Ed and Charmaine travel to North Carolina to go through the old building and ready it for sale.  Once there, Ed can’t resist playing doctor with his lovely wife…

Ed and Charmaine are an absolutely lovely couple.  Although they enjoy a wonderful marriage together, Charmaine harbors one small dream that she has been reluctant to share with her attentive husband, fearing he won’t want the same thing she does.  In another state, having acted out some decidedly wicked fantasies, she decides it is the perfect place and time to come clean with her spouse, who proves that he would do anything to make her happy, and that her dreams are truly his own.
