Review: Spring Fever by Mary Kay Andrews

 

Spring Fever
Mary Kay Andrews
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
Publish Date: June 5, 2012
Hardcover {p.402}
Source: Public Library
Genre: Contemporary
Annajane Hudgens, Mason Bayless
Challenge: 100+
Buy the Book: Amazon

Annajane Hudgens truly believes she is over her ex-husband, Mason Bayless. They’ve been divorced for four years, she’s engaged to a new, terrific guy, and she’s ready to leave the small town where she and Mason had so much history. She is so over Mason that she has absolutely no problem attending his wedding to the beautiful, intelligent, delightful Celia. But when fate intervenes and the wedding is called to a halt as the bride is literally walking down the aisle, Annajane begins to realize that maybe she’s been given a second chance. Maybe everything happens for a reason. And maybe, just maybe, she wants Mason back.

But there are secrets afoot in this small southern town. On the peaceful surface of Hideaway Lake, Annajane discovers that the past is never really gone. Even if there are people determined to keep Annajane from getting what she wants, happiness might be hers for the taking, and the life she once had with Mason in this sleepy lake town might be in her future.

I've always been a fan of Andrews since I first discovered her, and Spring Fever was no exception.

Annajane and Mason are still very much in love with each other although they've been divorced for quite some time. Both of them are now engaged to other people. Mason's fiancee is a scheming gold digger and Annajane's fiancee seems to be a bit of a slacker hippie type. Mason was the typical southern gentleman who does the right thing despite the fact that it may not best for him. He and Annajane try to ignore the attraction between with little success.

The real show stealer was Sophie, Mason's five-year old daughter. She was so adorable, you couldn't help but love her to pieces. I liked how the author incorporate tidbits from their past to show them falling in love and their marriage falling apart. To me that provided me with a better connection with both characters.

The story provided just enough twists and turns that I didn't see coming, but not twists that were so far out there that they were unbelievable. These are characters I would love to see the author revisit in the future.

Review: Kinky Neighbors by Jasmine Haynes

 

Kinky Neighbors
Jasmine Haynes
Publisher: Jasmine Haynes
Publish Date: April 8, 2011
Kindle {p.128}
Source: Personal Library
Genre: Erotica, Menage
Alexis Hart, Cat Mitchell, Drew Mitchell, Logan Hart
Challenge: 100+
Buy the Book: Amazon

Two couples, two very hot wives, two husbands who don't mind a little swapping...

The Mitchells and the Harts have been next door neighbors and friends for the past year. They have loads in common; double incomes, professional careers, no kids...and a kinky streak.

Now they're about to become very good friends...with kinky benefits.

The sex between them all is hot, naughty, and unbearably exciting. It isn't merely swapping partners and moving to another room; it's true foursome sex, same room, same bed, all four involved. For Drew and Cat Mitchell and Logan and Alexis Hart, it's about barreling through boundaries none of them have ever crossed before, doing kinky things they've only fantasized about. But when they begin to exchange not just sex but emotional connection, the problems start; a little jealousy, feeling left out, wanting more from the wrong partner. Can two couples really share everything without losing it all?

Cat has been pressing her husband of ten years for a foursome with their new next door neighbors.

What started out as some smoking hot sex between four consenting adults went completely wrong. From the start you could see this was a train wreck just waiting to happen. In getting to know the characters a bit better, I took a dislike to Cat. She seemed like she was always up to no good. She came across as very fake. Her husband Drew seemed to just put it with her and whatever diabolical plan she was cooking up.

Logan and his wife Alexis didn't have a great relationship either. Logan was always pointing out her faults and finding her lacking in just about everything. Alexis was the most reserved of all four of them. At times it looked as though she was participating in this kink only to please her husband.

When all four of them get together in any kind of interaction it's apparent that Drew and Alexis would be the better match of the couples.

Even knowing this was something horrible that would blow up in their faces, I couldn't put it down. With knowing it was bound to end badly, I still had to see it for myself.
