Romance Erotica Sensual

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!

SUMMARY

Itโ€™s 1953 and Ann Reynolds canโ€™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 sheโ€™s not as happy as everyone keeps telling her she should be. Thereโ€™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 whatโ€™s left of her life when she removes her kids, their schedules and, maybe hardest of all, Charlie Atwood. Charlie is Annโ€™s ex-husbandโ€™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 isnโ€™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 Annโ€™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 canโ€™t say he didnโ€™t see it coming. He isnโ€™t husband material and itโ€™s become increasingly obvious that Ann needs more from him than he can ever give her. Then Charlie hears Annโ€™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 isnโ€™t out for just one thing. Ann deserves better, which is exactly why heโ€™s kept his hands to himself all these years. But if all Ann is looking for is a summer flingโ€ฆwell, hell, Charlie isnโ€™t opposed to helping her out one last time. And heโ€™s got no problem if her new friend wants to come along for the ride.
