"An Unconvential Life takes a twist"

August Heat is the uncoventional story of three married couples. Marley and Cade, Brock and Sarah, and Sam and Heather. They freely and willingly share not only a house but sexual partners as well.

This unique arrangement continues until the birth of Cade and Marley's first child. The arrival of this child makes each couple yearn for a monogamous relationship and a home of their own.

THere's one flaw with this desire. Neither the men nor the women are wiling to openly discuss their wants and needs. It's getting close to Christmas and in this reviewer's opinion childish games are being played by each side.

AUGUST HEAT did not heat my eys as I read, nor did my blood begin to boil as it did in other stories in Ellora's Cave Twelve Days of Christmas series. As I read I felt as thought I had stepped into the middle of the story about the August family. This feeling prompted me to go back and check out other titles by Ms. Leigh. While I didn't actually read any of these titles, just the names of the books make me believe that there were books that came prior to AUGUST HEAT. I strongly feel had I read the previous books my enjoyment of this one would have been heightened.
