Another fabulous read packed with heat and heart from Dierdre Winter.

Clara was very sexually adventurous as a young adult, always in the company of Peyton, her BFF-with-benefits, and often with Jesse, a guy who "got" them and with whom they jointly hooked up on many occasions.

Now nearing her 30th birthday, Clara reconnects first with Peyton and then with Jesse and the story follows their reacquaintance interspersed with reminiscences of the past, these giving Clara the opportunity to re-evaluate some of her key life choices and set a new direction for herself.

There's a lot of sex on offer here, both in the present of the story and in memories of the past. Much of it involves some degree of power exchange and humiliation, and some enticing bukkake scenes. These misadventures are elevated by the blanket of acceptance and caring and support the author weaves around her characters.

This book includes sexual interaction between men and women in various combinations without labelling anything. I found it both arousing and touching and if this sounds like something you'd enjoy then I heartily recommend it. ( )
