Anne Reynolds has fallen in love with her ex-husband's best
friend Charlie. He's been taking care of her and her
children for the past few years, but he takes off as soon as
Anne admits her feelings for him. Anne is trying to get him
off of her mind when her car breaks down and a gorgeous
young man comes to rescue. Trey tries to help Anne to come
to terms with her feelings for Charlie and keep them both
from making a huge mistake. And he has a deliciously sexy
idea of how to get the two together while enjoying them both
himself.
Charlie has always been a womanizer, and he cares too much
about Anne to sully her good name by getting involved with
her romantically. So he high-tails it when she tries to
admit her feelings for him. He does a good job staying away
until he realized she's hooked up with a young stud. Unable
to stay away, he comes to Anne and finds himself drawn into
a sexual game. But when the game is over will he be willing
to make a commitment to the woman he loves?
I loved everything about AND CHARLIE MAKES THREE. It has a
great plot, intriguing characters, and steamy hot sex. I
could really feel for Anne who is rejected by the man she
loves. And then felt her joy when a young hunky man shows
her how special she is. Her sexuality blossoms, in an era
when woman weren't supposed to do anything "improper." Anne
and Trey burn up the page, and when Charlie is added to the
equation things get even hotter. If you are opposed to a
bit of m/m action, then you might want to skip this book.
Otherwise, I highly recommend it. Don't be surprised if you
read the entire thing in one sitting. I did!
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.
