Romance Erotica Sensual

Anne Reynolds never thought she would fall in love again, and yet she finds herself falling for her ex-husband's best- friend. Unfortunately it seems that after waiting three years Charlie Atwood does not return those feelings. Embarrassed after telling Charlie how she feels Anne takes time away from her life and in comes a total stranger that makes her feel alive again.

Trey is in this time to bring people that love each other together. He need to break the curse on him and get back to the woman he loves but his work is cut out for him when it comes to Anne and Charlie. Trey will do everything possible to bring them together, including seducing them both.

When Charlie discovers that Anne is seeing another man he tracks them down and cannot believe what he sees. Anne is in the arms of another man, a very attractive man. He feels that maybe the best thing is to leave her alone and let her go although he has never been one to do what is best. As Trey works his magic can he save Anne and Charlie from making the biggest mistake of their lives?

And Charlie Makes Three is a romantic, very sexual story of two people overcoming their fears and coming together with the help of one very sexy man. Based in an era when women stayed home to take care of their families we get a glimpse at a woman who is strong and will do whatever she sets her mind to. A steaming hot book that will set you on fire.

SUMMARY

It’s 1953 and Ann Reynolds can’t seem to get into the expansively perky spirit of the new decade. After the struggles and derivations of the past twenty years, she feels guilty she’s not as happy as everyone keeps telling her she should be. There’s something missing from her life and she thinks it might very well be her. After dropping her sons off at summer camp, Ann sets out on a journey to discover what’s left of her life when she removes her kids, their schedules and, maybe hardest of all, Charlie Atwood.

Charlie is Ann’s ex-husband’s ex-golf buddy. He likes to tell people Ann got him in the divorce settlement along with the dog and a stack of old Saturday Evening Posts. Ann isn’t sure why Charlie has stuck around to help since her husband left three years ago but she knows the time has come to relieve him of active duty. If Charlie was interested in a permanent place in her life he would have let her know by now, and Ann can no longer pretend that what they have between them is enough to sustain her.

When Charlie finds out about Ann’s plan to take a solo driving trip down the coast, he is relieved. After three years standing in for his old golf buddy, a break is exactly what he needs. And if the break becomes permanent, well, Charlie can’t say he didn’t see it coming. He isn’t husband material and it’s become increasingly obvious that Ann needs more from him than he can ever give her.

Then Charlie hears Ann’s added a passenger to her journey, Trey, a man no one has ever met before. As the gossip regarding the scandalous behavior exhibited between the normally oh-so proper Ann and her handsome stranger reaches him, Charlie feels honor bound to make sure the man isn’t out for just one thing. Ann deserves better, which is exactly why he’s kept his hands to himself all these years.

But if all Ann is looking for is a summer fling…well, hell, Charlie isn’t opposed to helping her out one last time. And he’s got no problem if her new friend wants to come along for the ride.
