Friends with Benefits by Anne Lange Review

4 Smooches!

Synopsis

Tyler had no idea his wife Angela’s desires so closely matched his own. But when some unguarded pillow talk reveals her fantasy of two men at once, Tyler jumps at the chance to make her happy. Enlisting the help of his best friend Connor, who’d shared some threesome adventures with him in the past, Tyler secretly hopes exploring Angela’s fantasies will lead to his own personal desire—a permanent threesome with the two people he loves most in the world.

Connor can’t believe it when his best friend asks him to seduce his wife. Then he meets Angela, and all the women in his past fade away. With Tyler’s blessing, Connor sets out to melt Angela’s reserve, and when Tyler joins the party, the three of them set the sheets on fire.

Angela is floored when her husband suggests they explore some of her fantasies—things she’d only read about but never in a million years thought she’d actually do. Sandwiched between Tyler and Connor, she’s never felt so treasured, so protected, so loved. But the reality proves much more complicated than the fantasy. She loves her husband, but she finds herself falling for his best friend too. That’s not normal, is it? What will people think?

Review

I really enjoyed this book! Friends with Benefits is a super sexy ménage story that manages to be very romantic and sweet. Tyler and Angela have been happily married for 7 years and have started talking about their perspective fantasies in order to spice things up a bit. Angela, an avid steamy romance reader has some ideas of what she might like to try and her husband is more than happy to help, though he does have an ulterior motive. Enter Connor, Tyler’s best friend. What follows are some very steamy m/f/m sex scenes!! I found that Friends with Benefits told a more realistic side of this particular alternative lifestyle, not glossing over some of the negative things like jealousy and public discrimination. The threesome does find a safe haven at The Vault, an alternative “sex” club.  This is the first book in the “Vault” series and we get to meet a few of the characters that I’m sure will soon have their own starring role. I have a feeling the series will be leaning a bit more into BDSM but this book didn’t have any of that.  Overall a great read, I look forward to the other books to come!
