Aiden, Emily, and Nate

Saturday has rolled around and it's time for Nate to be in the same room and watch the sexy D/S action between his wife, Emily, and her lover, Aidan. Nate is conflicted and with his own submissive feelings he's experiencing, and Aidan find himself trying to figure out their roles too. When the two men find themselves alone together, Nate finds himself saying yes to Sir too. Emily isn't happy that Nate wants to be Aidan's submissive too, and Nate can't understand why she would deny him that. Aidan feels like he's being torn between the two yet still wants both of them as his submissives. The trio began to explore their D/s relationship with one another, though Aidan is uncertain about moving forward with Nate. Emily and Nate are exploring their own at-home D/s relationship where he's happy to say yes Mistress. Aidan begins training Nate and Emily in earnest as the trio's action gets hotter.

What A Complicated Web

Well, Nate has forgiven his wife, and things have gotten to be rather complicated for the non-traditional relationship which emerges from Emily's entanglement. The reason this is a 5-star story when the previous set (stories 1-3; and most of Lacey's other stories) are only 4 stars is because we're dealing with a more complex, and communicative dynamic between all the partners involved here. Things are heating up and changing rapidly, and it's handled (mostly) well. Maybe everyone isn't getting what they thought they were when it all started, but they seem to be willing to grow with the new dynamics, and it's hot. It's the best of the stories I've read by Lacey Cross, and I have read quite a few--though I've only recently started reviewing them. If you skip this series because of the cheating dynamics in stories 1-3, that's fair, but the resolution is worthwhile as the "throuple(?)" grows and comes together for a satisfying situationship. I recommend it.

I need more

This is a very sexy audiobook I need more of all this. The visual I have while listening to this is so erotic. I had to pause it a few times.

Still Just As Hot and Captivating As The 1st!!

5 Stars
Still just as good as the 1st volume!

This is the second volume (#4, #5, and #6) of Emily, her husband Nate and Aiden's story.

I'm not gonna say much about how the story develops, as I can't find a way to do that without at least divulging some information that would spoil your fun. But I'll say this: it was super interesting to see how they came together and worked out their problems. Like I said on the first volume, it was super well done and it shocked me how much I enjoyed this book. In this one we get to see a new side to Nate and his needs. I loved how we still got to see some drama (nothing major, but fun nonetheless). It was so captivating, I couldn't put it down. And Aiden's character, while still being a Dom, was gentle when needed and caring and touchy, it was great! Overall, just loved it!!

Also, damnnnn... That guy's voice worked perfectly for both Nate and Aiden. Especially Aiden, the deep baritone in which he spoke had me sweating. I loved it. The story, the plot, the pace, the SPICE (yes, it was even better in this one), and the voice actor.

This book includes the 4th, 5th, and 6th installments of the Illicit Desires series (a 9-book series). I'm already pretty familiar with this author and she has yet to be a miss for me, and this series especially has been great. Can't wait to read the rest! 100% recommend!!! Now go listen to it!

A Must Read/Listen

Again a wonderful book. Even though I already listened to two of them that are on here I didn't mind listening to them again.

Interesting!!

The drama continues in this saga. Will Nate forgive Emily? Will their relationship survive? This story was quite interesting and full of steam.

Sexy Trio

I enjoyed listening to the further adventures of this sexy trio. They learn to trust each other more and Nate is ready to explore his attraction to Aiden as well as his submissive side. A very sexy fantasy.

I enjoyed the narrator as much this time around as the first volume.

And the Adventure Continues

Taking things to the next level, Nate and Emily become Aiden’s submissives. Emily can be a little jealous, and thinks that Aiden is hers. I think she can be a little selfish considering she was cheating on her husband and he forgave her. Emily realizes that she loves both Nate and Aiden. Nate realizes that he loves being dominated by Emily and things get steamy for them!

I Enjoyed It

I was so hooked after listening to volume 1 that I listened to volume 2 as soon as I finished it.

Though not a fan of cheating, I liked that it initially ended up making Nate and Emily's marriage stronger. I really liked the way the author made the parallel here between Noah's reaction to a revelation with Emily in a bedroom scene where he lost control and was surprised she'd enjoyed it (volume 1), and in this volume a scene where Emily loses control with Nate in a way that she's surprised that he enjoyed.

However, as much as I liked that connection, I don't like the manner in which she lost control. I think it was out of line, definitely not okay; and if he'd have done that to her and not the other way around I think it would have completely changed the tone and readers would have a different reaction.

Another thing that changed for me in this book from the first is my perception of Emily. Overall I think Emily is a very selfish person, and her refusing Noah a chance to sub himself when he needed it really turned me off after her cheating and him willing to change their whole marriage dynamic to make her happy and give her what she needed. Especially since it would be with Aiden- not like he wanted to bring in another man or woman. She never quite recovered in my eyes after that and I became a lot more aware and critical of her selfishness. She's in a state of arosal in pretty much every scene she's in and makes me wonder what else she does to occupy her time beyond sex.

My only factual nitpick was Aiden's age- I could have sworn at the beginning of a chapter he said he was almost 50. But later in same chapter he said he was turning 54 this year.

Like with the first, I absolutely loved Aleks Esquire's narration on this audiobook! He had very clear, distinct voices for all three characters. Even Nate and Aiden's voices are very different based on the tone and depth they spoke in. I was impressed. And I can admit a big part of my decision to get the two audiobooks in this series was hearing Aleks's sexy Aiden voice. I just had to have it!

Overall: 4 stars
Performance: 5 stars
Story: 3.5 stars
