The Man Before Me
It's not really cheating if she already slept with the guy before her husband even met her, right?
Dragged along to his wife Juliette's high school reunion, Nick finds the night going downhill fast as he meets her first real boyfriend, Cory, who then proceeds to troll him by discussing in detail how good the two of them were together in bed.
But to Nick's surprise, hearing about his wife sleeping with another guy is a massive turn-on.
Later, as a slightly inebriated Nick puts his foot in his mouth and irritates his wife, Juliette decides to punish him by taking Cory out onto the dance floor for some sensual one-on-one to the music.
To Juliette's surprise, her husband doesn't get even slightly jealous. In fact, he can't stop watching her dancing with Cory, and when the dancing is finally done, Nick has a shocking -- but outrageously hot -- proposal for them all to take the night to a whole different level of sensuality.
Another red-hot wife-sharing adventure from the bestselling author of A Wife For Watching.

Odd Take On The Wife Sharing Theme.
This story is told exclusively by the husband. Ninety percent of the words are his self talk. There is very little dialogue. And almost none between the husband and wife. So it’s hard to connect with her and she comes off kind of unlikable.
There is actually more dialogue between the husband and the wife’s BFF. That part of the story is unique and she treats the husband better than the wife does. There is obviously going to be a sequel, and based on the author’s presentation of the couple’s relationship, I’m concerned the author may take it to darker themes. Let’s hope not.
Max is a good writer but this story comes off kind of weird.

Slow Start Then The Intrigue
To me this does start slow. There’s enough sex and you know that eventually her former boyfriend is going to get involved more than just at the high school reunion.
But it’s how this comes about, how it interacts with her BFF, and how it works with his new friend with all the cuckolding experience. That becomes a little inside novel mystery.
It’s that part that really makes this a story. Once you get there, you really want to keep reading and find out what happens. The sex is good, but I needed this to really enjoy the book.
It’s a whole new flip on cuckolding that I hadn’t read before. He’s a good author and this was exciting.
My complaint is that here’s another multiple book story and no one tells us that until we get to the end of this book. Certainly the ending of this part is somewhat a cliffhanger and I hope that the next book comes out quickly, because if I’ve read a dozen or more hotwife novels before the next book, I’ll admit that I’ll lose some of this one.
I also have to say that I wouldn’t trust this wife at all when it comes to relationships. She willingly was ready to “lie” to her husband and then when he confronted her she was ready to lie to her lover. Trust makes a marriage and I couldn’t trust her.

I don’t know what it is about these wife sharing novels that gets me off; it’s a slippery slope to try to navigate. I guess that’s the literary draw. Such in incongruous scenario, that somehow pulls you in. Great reading about it!

This book, which I am pleased to say appears to be only part one, has been one of the most enjoyable Hotwifing/cuckolding stories I have read in recent times. I highly recommend it.
Lawyer Juliette, 28, takes her husband Nick to her high school reunion. She chose to dress in her old cheerleader's uniform.
Nick is introduced to Cory, who was Prom King to her Queen. It turns out he was also her first love, and he took her cherry.
Nick is left alone with jock Cory who becomes a provocative bully in Juliette absence and highly explicit and boastful about their sex life back then.
Something strange stirs in Nick, and rather than becoming jealous, he encourages the two to dance and have fun. As the evening goes on, lots of alcohol is consumed, and defenses are dropped.
The reader gets to experience the thrills and anxieties of a wife being tempted away by her first love through the husband’s eyes and thoughts. His role in letting, sometimes encouraging, things to happen is ever-changing. I would not consider this to be hard cuckolding, more Hotwifing with a hard-to-resist desire to be cuckolded. There is borderline cheating and a teasing risk of things spiralling out of his control.

Great read
A little slow but a very good build up setting in curiosity and apprehension. Looking forward to reading the next installment.

Book 1 is complete with drama and anticipation. It’s a how-to-book for the hotwife/cuckold lifestyle. The student-teacher dynamic of this book is novel. Nick learns from Brian. Brian knows the lifestyle isn’t one shoe fits all. Of Brian's four previous marriages three imploded. He doesn’t fault his ex-wives because the lifestyle isn’t normal. The Lifestyle requires acceptance communication and participation or a meeting of the minds. It’s like all relationships that evolve grow and change. This series is more about the psychology of the lifestyle than erotica. It explains how this fetish can develop. At this site on the lifestyle spectrum Nick wants conpersion for Juliette without observing; without ridicule; without cheating. Nick wants complete transparency of Juliette's sexual relations with Cory, her first boyfriend her first sex her first love.
I like the Juliette and Jessica friendship. It's refreshing to read about two beautiful women having a deep friendship. This book has a great take-off with execution and lift. But Max has to stick the landing.
