Introducing April: A Hotwife Beginning (Corrupting April Book 1) Reviews

  This is classic Arnica Butler, strongly character-based, she teases and edges you along, but then never fails to deliver!
  
  Slightly nerdy Thomas has punched above his weight and is married to a pale-skinned, raven-haired, purpled blue-eyed beauty called April Snow.
  
  Thomas has a strong wife-watching fantasy that he feels he must keep secret.
  
  April has a best friend Lilith, the two could not possibly be any different.
  
  Lilith is a stunning blonde with a model-like figure which she loves to flaunt.
  
  April is loyal and reserved, whereas Lilith is single and totally sexually uninhibited.
  
  When they all take a break in Mexico, Lilith encourages April to play the game they use to play at uni. They would give themselves foreign pseudonyms and have guys hit on them. Buoyed by ‘Dutch courage’ April plays along tentatively.
  
  This plays into Thomas’s fantasy and he encourages his wife to continue this roleplay during their stay.
  
  When they return, Lilith is keen to get her ‘wingman’ back and has her suspicions about Thomas.
  Both seem to have their own agenda for April, is she that pure or will she become the hotwife that her husband dreams of or the slut her friend clearly is.
  
  Highly recommended.

  Tremendous. Nailed it again.
  
  This may be the most frustrating story I have ever read all due to the quality of the writing. Ms Butler takes you up the hill and plays with your senses over and over again keeping you at the leak but never letting you go over the edge.
  
  Is she or isn’t she. You just never knew for sure.
  
  Another pretty hot sex scene. I was disappointed in the end when April knew it was going to happen. She just didn’t seem the type. I want to know more about that and have the pure April Snow will rectify that in her “prudish” mind.
  
  I hope this doesn’t change her and that she remains the reluctant prudish pure person that she is. Nothing hotter than the reluctance as she shows as she heads deeper and deeper into the dirty sex.
  
  I am really interested to see just how dirty Jonny can be because so far there hasn’t been much. So intriguing when a shy innocent gives way.
  
  Again just a great story that maintains the reader on edge through the entire book until the very end.

  Well this is a first for me - an Arnica Butler book I didn’t like.
  
  I’ve stopped reading about 35% of the way through and read the last chapter to see if the story would turn around, it doesn’t seem to have.
  
  This is a well written and edited book and thus the 3 Star rating.
  
  My problem is I don’t like any of the characters. Husband Thomas is totally blitzed all the time on alcohol, wife April may not be far behind, and “friend” Lilith seems focused on getting laid, and getting April laid, all the time. I’m guessing Lilith wants to justify her behavior by having April walk in a daze along the same path.
  
  I didn’t find this fun or intriguing, and April and Thomas only communicate tangentially. In the end, when April jumps over the line, Thomas wonders if Lilith drugged April, and once again Thomas is wasted.
  
  I’m a believer in the BDSM mantra: Safe, Sane, Consensual. I’m not against bending those rules, and enjoying the outcomes, but this story (as far as I read) didn’t seem to respect any.
  
  I may pick away at this book over time, but I won’t rush into it.
  
  I look forward to Arnica’s next book as long as it’s not a sequel to this story.

  Arnica has really written the most beautiful introduction to April.
  Brilliant plot.
  Beautiful characters.
  With a twist at the end leaving us all wanting to know more about April.
  Thomas is April’s adoring husband with the most common fantasy for married men.
  April is the very reluctant Hotwife.
  Lilith is the brilliant free spirited friend that April needs.
  Jonny is the Alpha male who provides the angst that Thomas needs and the size that April also desires.
  Much more spoils a great plot.
  Beautiful descriptive prose.
  That beautiful sense of reality that Arnica provides to make the book that much better.
  🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
  Five white hot pulsing shooting stars!

  This was pretty good and I have nothing to complain about that isn't ingrained in the genre. Like all books of this length there's a lot of time spent on introspection and self-doubt by the main character. Gets a bit tiresome after a while.
  
  Otherwise, good build up in intensity that is paid off well.
  
  I've started the second book in the series (2 chapters in) and it is continuing with the momentum established in the first and upping the intensity.

  Just exquisite! Such a thrill as it goes further than the couple would want, they thought; but it was hot, nonetheless.
