What Wendy Wants by Nikki Sex
2.0
This review first appeared on Blackbeak Books.
I found this book by someone recommending it on Facebook and it piqued my interest immediately. I haven’t read new adult/adult in a while so I needed something fun to read, something that doesn’t make me think about it 24/7. I could say this one gave that to me but it still wasn’t the one I wanted.
Wendy has been married for years, has three kids and still loves her husband very much, but their sex life is just not the same as it was in the beginning. So what does a woman do in this situation? Gets herself a vibrator and lots of erotic books and buries herself in the fantasy of dominating men. When her husband, Frank accidentally takes her Kindle instead of his own, he discovers Wendy’s secret fantasies and vows to make all of them a reality.
To be honest, I liked the idea of the book. It would have been a good one. But even though it’s 200+ pages, I felt like the actual night of the even has been both dragged and rushed. It didn’t help that Frank commented in his head on literally every move and sound Wendy made. The whole thing felt like a catalogueing or I don’t even know what I could compare it to. Wendy and Frank were unrealistic and contradictory. I also didn’t like how Wendy talked about her kids, like they were only a burden, even though she repeated a couple of time that how much she loves them. The other sketchy thing was how the author grabbed any opportunity to advertise herself and her other books in this one. Sorry, but it made me want to read them even less than before. Not that I was planning, after this one.
The night of the seduction started out pretty sweet and romantic and that’s why I gave it two stars. Plus because it was a quick read. I didn’t regret reading it, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
