Is Sherri one of the most diabolical female leads in recent romantic fiction? Or is she a trailblazer who is determined not to compromise her own happiness to meet sociatial expectations? Is Paul, her adoring husband, the epitome of the strong and sensitive male, or is he one of the most pathetically tormented men ever to be destroyed by the meatgrinder that is modern marriage? And what role is played by Daniel, the attractive philosopher/artist next door, who, though as passive as Sherri is aggressive, still seems to control the entire drama? Is Giving the Bride Away a how-to novel on the art of creating a transformational polyamorous relationship? Or does it eroticize the power of marriage to brutalize all who question its taboos?

Giving the Bride Away Reviews

  • ~ Lei ~ Reading Is An Adventure ~

    2.5 - This was really well written which is probably why I finished it. However, I didn't really care for any of the characters and worse the sexin' was just so-so for a wife sharing book.

    Paul has a new young hotwife, Sheri who takes a shine to their weekend house neighbor, painter Daniel. Sheri wants to expand her horizons and Paul agrees to open their marriage and let her explore her sexuality. Unfortunately, Paul ends up realizing he's more possessive than he thought and the final straw is when Sheri decides she wants to have a baby with Daniel. After Paul has a bit of a breakdown, he plots to bring Sheri back into line.

    Not a reread.

    A young bride cannot choose between her husband and her lover next door--and doesn't see why she should have to.

    I deleted this book from iPad! It is actually well written (hence the extra STAR...), but I didn't like any of the characters and I stopped caring....
