I admit this story made me a little bit anxious at first. I have written a story about "swinging" myself, and I remember being on an emotional roller-coaster ride when I was writing from the male "nice guy" character's POV. So, when I started to read this, I was really worried for Carter.Despite reading and writing about so many dominating alpha males, I really do have a soft spot for nice guys! I wondered if this genuine, honest dude was going to have his heart twisted into a pretzel by the carnally experienced, aggressive, swinging Kate.But Chase Boehner's masterful writing made me believe that a couple could swing/swap--while keeping their relationship healthy and close.Kate proves to be a singular woman who never lets her man forget he's number one in her life--even when they're both coupling with other people.It does also help that Carter ends up paired off on the first night of swapping with Talia, his long-time crush ... A treat he wasn't expecting to get from this arrangement.And the final love/sex scene shows the love and tenderness between Kate and Carter, ending the story on a happy romantic note.The writing throughout is excellent and exciting and detailed. Two scenes stood out for me: the "under the table" scene at the beginning, in the coffee shop (I loved Kate's daring spontaneity--wish I could be so bold in real life!). And it was all the more exciting due to the fact that Kate's BFF Talia was watching ...The second scene was the "choosing" at the swinger's party. Carter, blindfolded, has to "control" his release until he's caressed by the female hand of his crush ... A brilliant and deliciously original scene.
