Exes and Excess

by Kendra Martin

When Felicia marries Todd Wilson, she is only eighteen, and he is just twenty--both young, naive, and sexually inexperienced. Seven years and two children later, Felicia learns that Todd is cheating on her. It takes her a year, but eventually she gets her divorce.

With the help of her friends, Felicia now begins a journey toward her erotic awakening, seeking out new experiences with men and getting herself back into the world. Because of her naivety and inability to recognize when she is being used, she continually finds herself in trouble and unable to distinguish among love, lust, and commitment. But because of her passion and exuberance, Felicia leaves no man unchanged after her various encounters. And one man is determined to make her his own--no matter the cost.

In this erotic novel, a newly divorced young woman explores her options with various men as she searches for both temporary pleasure and lasting happiness."

This was certainly and interesting read and had a lot of erotica, which some readers might not be comfortable with.

We start off with Felicia finding out her husband, Todd, cheated on her. After their divorce, it lead to her exploring her sensual side with other partners and breaking through her own boundaries. It was quite the read for sure, especially the erotic moments.

I am not a huge fan of how everything was getting more and more perfect. Like how everyone loves Felicia (exes, in laws, etc) and her Cinderella moment was lasting forever. I kept waiting for the spell to break and the climax to peak (which never did!). Quite honestly, I found all the men she had been with to be either very manipulative or controlling or both. Just because you have the looks or the money doesn't mean you can control someone else. And for that matter, Felicia threw a lot of hissy fits only to turn around and forgive the guy or be so damn dramatic. Got really sick of her getting upset and the drama part way through the book.

Also the blurb on the back of the book sounded like something sinister or intense was going to happen with one guy she was in a relationship with. And what happens?! Nothing! Barely any consequences with her "affair".

So the good, is the erotic parts and trying to find herself sensually. The bad, the main characters and over the top Cinderella perfect plot.

This is really an awesome book overall. The author does a really GREAT job detailing with words that make certain scenes in the book vivid and crystal clear to picture in the mind. If you are into sensual reads, this will without a doubt put you there. The story line is not one to be expected. She gives a very different twist when it comes to love interest and romantic relationships.... very interesting.

Page Turner!

Omg! This book kept me elevated turning each page not sure when all the lies would unfold. Hope there is more. I love the story line and the passion of the characters. Shows how exes can develop meaningful friendships but how when cheating it's hard to stay a step ahead of the game because it can destroy the best relationships.

Very well written...loved the story line and the friendships. Very romantic and insightful. It was funny and sad and kept my interest. Definitely a page turner. And the ending. Pow! Didn't see that coming. Hoping for a sequel.

Compelling from the very start. I cleared my calendar and devoured the book from cover to cover. The characters are like family and the sex is tasteful but fully charged. Looking very forward to the sequel !!!

I received this book free through Good Reads Giveaways.
This is the first book of this kind (erotic novel) and it is not really my cup of tea.
