Stuck In Between is the first book in the Bound By Your Love Series. I was looking forward to reading this as I do like the erotica genre. As I started reading it I was confused as to why Jacqs kept going back to Bond, he was an ass towards her. Maybe it was the fact she got it on tap but to be honest I would have steered clear from any kind of bedroom relations towards him and stuck to just friends. I did however like Red although I didn't like the way he claimed Jacqs. That is very Neanderthal in my eyes.
I also didn't like a certain C word that was in the book, ok I get it that there is swearing and sexy talk but that word just turns me off wanting to read more.

Now for the good things, the book was well written and the author seems to know how to reach out to the audience it is intended for. It was hot and steamy and I did kinda like it.

I would rate it 3.5 as I liked some of it and loved some of it but I can't say I totally loved it.… (mer)

Wow! Great Book!

Lainie is close to thirty, owns her own clothing boutique and is in love with a married man, who has told her he will not leave his wife, he will not shuffle his children back and forth.

Mason is the super sexy, married man Lainie can't say no to.

Spending her life waiting for Mason to call and dropping everything, including plans with friends and family to be with him has become her life. Is it enough? There isn't a future with a married man. No children, no dinners out, nothing.

Stayman is a friend and part of a close-knit group of friends Lainie considers her second family. Lainie hasn't noticed Stayman, but he has noticed her.

As Lainie and Stayman's friendship grows, and Lainie hits rock bottom, she has a decision to make; stay with a married man with no future or explore a relationship with Stayman and have a chance at a truly happy life.

Lainie's gut wrenching decisions made me mad, sad and happy.

Blakely's writing made me feel like I was living this story. Her descriptions are vivid and real, her timing is believable. This story is different from the norm. Who would you fall in love with, Mason or Stayman?
