We get a glimpse of one of my favorite couples in this book, although I wished there was a little more of them - and maybe there could have been a very special scene?!This is a quick read, and it really isn’t necessary to have read the other books associated with Gwen and JC.... but maybe it will make you find out how they got to where they are now, or be curious about other couples in the Fixed universe.

Full transparency: I wasn't expecting to like this novella as much as I did.Laurelin Paige has been evolving in her stories recently when it comes to the kinks her characters like, so much so that she's introduced us to an elite, invitation-only sex club known as The Open Door. It's a club that allows people to explore their desires and limits in a safe, consensual, and open setting where no one will judge, and anything is allowed; roleplays, swingers, voyeurism, BDSM, etc.Whilst I am open-minded to some of those kinks, others are just not my cup of tea. So the previous two times that The Open Door has made an appearance in Laurelin's book - like Dirty Filthy Fix, and Slay: Rivalry - I hadn't been a big fan because honestly? I just didn't get the introduction I needed to allow me to embrace and be more open-minded about not just these characters and their kinks, but most especially about The Open Door itself. I felt like in those two previous stories, there was no real introduction to it, especially not through the eyes of someone who isn't in the lifestyle to begin with.But then I read - okay, devoured (in one sitting) - The Open Door, and it's here we were delved deeper into this establishment, through the eyes of someone with no history to it... and it was everything I didn't know it could be. It was better than I thought it'd be, and I absolutely loved it.You just never see stories like this anymore, ever.Gwen and JC have been together now for around eight years and have three sons together. They're happy and very much in love, but the spark they used to have pre-babies has dwindled down. And the sex? It's non-existent. So when an invitation the The Open Door is presented to JC, who then presents it to Gwen, she is at first insulted and upset as she thinks this means that JC doesn't find her desirable anymore, but more so she's intrigued and curious, because going by the rumours of this sex club through the mouths of those in high society: just how open can The Open Door be?It's a fun, funny, realistic, sexy (like, hella sexy), and just an all-around quick story to read; it's about a happily married couple exploring their desires and limits safely, and reigniting that dwindled spark and spicing up their sex-life without the fear that any of their kids will come barging in on them whilst they're getting it on (which happened in this novella and had me laughing out loud). But more so, it's about reconnecting with your husband, spending quality time with him, and finding that balance between giving your kids the attention they need, giving your husband the attention he deserves, and giving yourself the freedom to do something that you desire.Laurelin Paige really touches on everything that I'm sure many working mothers and wives will easily relate to - the struggles and exhaustion of it all: working, marriage, children - all the while she delivers one hell of a fast-paced and erotic and adorable romance that had me devouring this story all the more. The writing is flawless and the story itself is easy to read and has my love for these characters skyrocketing, and despite the fact that Gwen and JC already have a duet together - Free Me and Find Me - this novella can be read and most definitely enjoyed as a standalone.So if you're looking for a quick-to-read romance full of love, sex, and (something I enjoyed most about this novella; you'll understand why when you read it) communication, then The Open Door is the book for you.

Great to catch up with Gwen and JC. Having had three children this is now their time to experience sexual encounters. Test the boundaries but together. They have the opportunity to join an adult club, and in doing so they experience their possible fantasies. True love survives and deepens their love for each other.

JC is my kink full stop end of! Loved this book. Just kept me hooked from start to finish. If I were to criticise anything, it would be the sharp ending. Injust wanted more!! 🔥❤

I thoroughly enjoyed this story as I could relate to the emotions and stresses of trying to keep the sex alive when you have very little time as a couple. Family comes first but we always need to remember where the family started and make that a priority. The love I felt in this journey was just beautiful.Highly recommend this read.
