Forty-five year old Emma Howell wondered if her husband, Aaron, was having an affair. His long hours at the office and the fact that they hadn’t had sex in over three months had her worried. Aaron wondered the same thing about his wife. He noticed how she snuck glances at one of their mutual friends. After a heated argument and an even more heated night of sex, the truth was revealed. Could the fantasy pillow talk become a reality? Would inviting their friend, Silas, into their bed help rekindle their passion and help him move on?

Ms. Douglas’ latest novel, Husbands and Wives 1: Par 3, has hit a hole in one. This story of a long married couple reconnecting and stoking the fire that they thought long gone was an erotic heart warmer. Emma, a full-figured mother of two, has finally come to terms with the fact that she wasn’t going to lose the baby weight she gained from having her children twenty years ago. His friends usually thought Aaron was the quiet type but his wife knew he was the boss in their bed. Silas, their friend, is ready to get back in the saddle after mourning the death of his wife fourteen months earlier. I adored this story because it reminded me that the little things that you do in the beginning of your relationship with your significant other should not be overlooked and taken for granted. We all need to be reminded of what gave you that quick fluttering deep down whenever your significant other looked at you “that way”. This story will have you wanting to find and experience that feeling again.

This story was very erotic. It contained mild bondage, ménage (M/F/M), voyeurism, anal play, spanking, and masturbation.
