This book was a little different then some of Megan Hart's erotic romance novels. I liked the book, but the ending left me with a feeling like something was missing.

The book begins with a married couple, Anne and James. Their life seems to be going well. They are still in love with one another, their sex life seems really good and their communication doesn't seem to be lacking. Their respective in law's are another thing altogether.

Things change when her husband's friend, Alex, comes and stays with them. From the moment she see's him she's in lust. He's a walking, talking sex on a stick. She never believed she'd be the kind of person to want another man other than her husband. Sometime later she begins to see a change in her husband. She pick's up on some flirtation from Alex in front of her husband. It appears that her husband's okay with her being with Alex. There after she sleeps with both her husband and Alex together. At first she feel's like a slut and a whore, but then after her husband and Alex show no revulsion she begins to see that her husband is completely on board with this arrangement.

It was suppose to be a fling, but like most well meaning thing.....it goes wrong. She begins to fall in love with Alex and he begins to pull away. Her husband doesn't understand what went wrong, he can't understand how she could fall in love with Alex and not just leave it as sex. Their relationship unstable when Alex leave and she feel's like without him she's incomplete.

I expected for her to see that it's okay to love them both. I expected Alex to come back and stay. What I didn't expect was the way the book ended leaving me feeling like this book had some major hole.

I'm not saying I didn't like this book. I just expected a different ending. I expected a happier ending. I guess Megan Hart had something else in mind.
