This third and final book continues where the last left off, with puppet master Lilith enabling April’s slutty side. April is now out of control the shy, young wife has now been turned into a professional porn star.
With Johnny, Rog, and other well-endowed guys from Lilith’s stud farm constantly partying with April and plying her with stimulants to remove her few remaining inhibitions, she is changing into a mini-Lilith.
Lilith has also seen through Thomas’s angst and worked out his biggest fantasy and fear, which is something he has yet to admit to himself, and that is for April to all-out cheat on him. The constant tussle between just letting it happen and wanting to be there to see or stop it leads him into some tricky situations.
Then April gets another outrageous but lucrative proposition from the kinky billionaire Mr. Smith.
Will Thomas or April finally call a halt to this game or their relationship?
The emotions and anxieties are raw, as most definitely is the sex. A must-read series.

I enjoy Arnica's writing a lot but I detested this book 110%.
I was worried it was a waste of time and it was... it also pissed me off. Why it pissed me off I'm not completely sure of yet. Maybe because there was so much secrecy/deception/deflection between husband, wife and Lillith. Seriously, just answer the fucking question you were asked. "um, uh, should we do it? I don't know. Is this too much? are you sure? are you angry?" forfucksakes.
The dialog, internal and external, was tortuous to read. I was done with the way it was written part way through the first book.
The characters only grew in how more irrational, greedy and inconsistent their decisions became, motivations were unclear.
The sex scenes didn't evolve compared to anything that happened in the second book. It was repetitive like a gonzo porn movie; position 1, position 2, position 3, position 4, finish, blow kiss at the camera, fade to black.
If you are still interested in reading this series after my poor review, read the first book and until the end of chapter 3 of the second. That part of the story was fantastic... then it dropped off a cliff.

HEA - Not Really
This is a wonderful story, with this Book 3 being a combination of the first Books emotional tension and wild sex from Book 2.
So I gave it 5 Stars as a summary of all three books. However I almost downgraded it to a 4 , because of unfinished business at the end. Start or stop was the main emotion throughout the series and unfortunately it never gets resolved.
After a major episode of sex near the end, all we are told is that they decided to take a pause. Of course they’d done that before and came back to the game. Now at the end of the story we don’t honestly know whether their marriage can survive all of this or not.
If you’re going to write a story that takes up 3 volumes and the second most important thread of the story is his stress, I feel that you need to complete that part.
All we know now is that she’s going to restart her sexual escapades and that they never had the meaningful conversation first. It was another no thought decision of hers and that doesn’t breed well for their long term relationship.
I sure wish that we had a Book 4 to tidy up the marriage situation. It would have been a joy to read.
But yet this was pretty damn good reading as it went. It just ended too soon.

Books of April
Very interesting 3 books. I realize they are storys but I find it difficult to believe that a man would want to see his wife taken by another man. This guy was sick

A Marathon Of Angst And Debauchery.
(this review will cover all three books in the series )
So, let’s get this out of the way first. I think Arnica Butler is a great writer and I really like a lot of her work. But yes, not this one.
I’ll just list a few of the reasons:
Way way too long. By the time I got to book three I had forgotten how it all started.
Seventy percent of the words were the husband’s self talk.
It was hard to connect with the husband or wife. The wife especially was unlikable.
Only once or twice in all three books did she say the words ‘I love you”. And her interaction with her husband was uncaring and brittle.
(I don't know if Arnica does it on purpose or what. But in most of her books she doesn't write her couples with much of a loving bond or connection )
There were numerous plot points that never got resolved.
As for the sex, the wife left “no holes unbarred”. So over the top, that it wasn't erotic but basically just porn.
The wife's friend, who instigated the wife's decent into slutdom and tormented the husband, was never held responsible. Her character is a dispectble villain.
The ending was unsatisfying with no real resolution for the wife’s behavior or the husband's angst.
The story could have been told in one book. It was so repetitive that I scanned and skipped a great deal of it.
Sorry, I guess the review sounds harsh. But I had to be honest .

Introducing April (volume 3 of 3)
Ms. Butler has an incredible imagination.
However, the first third of this book treats husband like a typical cuck. He is timid and submissive. The husband is portrayed as brainless and spineless.
The character of Lilith is a caricature in its extreme. She’s a slut and quite proud of it.
The history of these two women has it that they were friends thru school. Lilith was very adventurous and April very prudish.
Lilith is NOT Likable. She appears as a threat to the marriage. April seems to acknowledge that.
However, as you follow the women’s behaviors, Things are more than they appear.
Butler oversteps the scene with the pool bartender in Mexico.
April flirts with the bartender for nearly an hour. Her husband sits at the other end of the bar, separating himself from the flirting. It’s a game husband and wife play, and April is particularly good at it.
She leans over the bar and whispers to the bartender briefly and then leaves the pool and goes into the shrubbery bordering the other side. A couple minutes later, the bartender follows her into the shrubs. By the time the husband retrieves his shoes and follows, they are both gone. He searches for several minutes, then returns to the pool to wait. He waits for several hours getting drunk in the process.
The husband has questions he's too timid to ask.
He needed to confront his wife with a comparison, not question her.
"You understand that I respect Lilith. She might be a slut, but she is honest. Everything she does, she does with Mike. He knows all, sees all. That is open and honest.
You, on the other hand. flirted with that bartender for nearly an hour, then you went into the bushes with him. You disappeared for over 5 hours. If you had wanted me with you, as we agreed, you would have doubled back. You didn't.
You are deceitful, conniving, and disrespectful. To my eyes, you ran off and screwed him up all afternoon. You have no alternate explanation for where you were.
Yes, the idea of you screwing him is exciting, but I won't stand for the distrust. Do that again and I'll treat you just like your other boyfriends. I'll be gone.
I want to be treated with the same respect Lilith treats Mike.”
I think she pushes his buttons trying to incite him to become more dominant. More demanding.
He runs from confrontations; he drowns his frustrations in a bottle. It’s extremely hard for me to respect him.
Like most of Ms Butler's 'cuck-hubbies' he drowns his anxiety in a bottle.
A loving relationship can have confrontations.
It's called honest communication. He needs to be more open with his wife. Be ready to admit what turns him on and what behavior he’s willing to tolerate and what he demands from her.
Ms. Butlers husbands seldom do that. In Her shorter offerings, Cuckold Therapy, or Sharing Katie, they do discuss things. They discuss it at length.
Communication destroys excessive Angst. In her multivolume works, she is unceasing in her angst building efforts. Ms. Butler avoids honest communication like the plague with those.
My perception is that in her frenzy to create angst, she destroys the integrity of the wife, the intelligence of the husband and the truth in their joint relationship.
I bought all three of these volumes.
I wish i hadn't. The entire series was a massive disappointment.
I'm hoping she learns how to truly write about a loving couple playing with this topic.

I guess I expected more
Thought the final edition of April’s journey would have been a better finish; but alas, that wasn’t the case. Oh well, these all had fascinating subplots, but ultimately, it seemed they went back to where they started.

A good but frustrating read, ultimately disappointing. It left me with too many questions, and, in the end, not caring about either the husband or the wife, much less about the rest of the book's cast. Why does she stay with this alcoholic husband, so jaded that the only way he can get excited is by watching her with other guys, scenes that are, I admit, hot but soon become repetitive, as do his perennial divided feelings and desires about it. To be sure, there are no better men around her, just a small set of central casting studs to perform with for her husband's thrill. Her mysteries remain--who is she? what does she honestly feel about anything or anyone? The mysteries are never resolved, nor even truly explored. Ditto, regarding her bestie friend, a fascinating character, a Mephistopheles more interesting than the husband or wife, who, fundamentally, are passive, puppets for the bestie. Another thing that doesn't happen is that he never changes, such as by hitting a wall where he says to himself, "I've seen this movie before. I'm tired of it and her." She never changes, too. Probably, I'm expecting too much from the book. Still, it would have been great if a few of those expectations had been satisfied.

A magnificent trilogy!
Thomas Roberts was strikingly associated with me
and it seemed to me that I was reading the diary of my adventures and my wife.
When I wasn't reading, the plot wouldn't let me go and made me think about the scenes I'd read.
My brain melted and froze several times from excitement and pain.
Now I have a desire to buy and read all Arnica's books.
Lilith is a wonderful character and I want to meet her again.
Today I am happy that I have read this trilogy
and I am sure that after a pause I will want to read it again, editing it to suit my fantasies.
15 well-deserved stars for three books.

I loved this series. As much as I enjoyed following along with the husband's point of view and the general lack of information available to him about what April is thinking or feeling or even the general story of her past, what I really want is a fourth book where we finally find the answers to all of April's mysteries. Maybe it could even be from April's point of view.

exspand the story line
Great story maybe have April and Lilith get together to make a porn for a client next.
Maybe a series of stories with a different direction.
