This is the sequel to Babysitting The Baumgartners and I strongly recommend reading that first. Ronnie is grown up and her husband TJ wants an open marriage. But she is uncertain. She broke off with the Baumgartners because of her uneasiness about being bi. The characters are very good and the situations interesting as is the resolution. The cheating boy friend gets his comeuppance in a very funny scene.

Overall an excellent sequel and a excellent read if you like erotica. Several 3somes, some voyeurism, and one 4some (M/f/f/f) as well as f/f scenes.

A sequel as powerful as the original, which ties up all the loose ends AND opens fresh story lines. Am I impressed? I'm in awe. I expected to be titillated, but ended up loving this family and its values. AY

SPOILERS BELOW



OMG! Selena Kitt is the only author who can get me wetter than the ocean. I think this one was even hotter than the first. I really enjoyed the voyeuristic aspect of the storyline. That was hotter than hot. After Ronnie had Henry I asked myself "who's next?" Then it dawned on me that Janie was left and I was like "no, she's not gonna go there" and she did!!!! Shocker!

Ronnie had mother, father, daughter, and son. Incredible!!! It would have been nice if her husband got as much action as she did. I would have liked TJ to have gotten it on with Gretchen as well. But this was one great erotic buffet!

I thought this was better than Babysitting the Baumgartners. I liked that there was more of an emotional element to the story. Yes, Ronnie does have sex with all of the Baumgartners, but I liked how the author at least shows that Ronnie loves these people and considers them her family. Showing that Ronnie does care for the Baumgartners actually made the sex scenes steamier for me. I also liked how Ronnie was having second thoughts about the threesome she had with the Baumgartners many years ago and how she struggles with whether or not she wants to open up her marriage so she and her husband can have their own threesome. It added some much needed depth to her character.

There is a hint of incest in the story since Henry, the Baumgartners' son, has a serious crush on his sister. And by serious, I mean he wants to have sex with her. No actual sexual interaction takes place between them though, and Ronnie sort of talks with Henry to straighten him out in a sense. I wasn't bothered by this since I like to push my boundaries, but I'm pointing it out for those who may be squicked by this sort of thing.

the series overall is fantastic, vivid descriptions, interesting storyline, but overall you are reading this to get a better look into the baumgartner.

I can't say too much, so I don't spoil the read for anyone. I did find that i was shocked at a couple of the hook ups in the book but not enough to put it down! As with all Selena's books the sex was amazing and hot! I loved the book and could not wait to get the next one.

Of course, reading the original, Babysitting the Baumgartners, is recommended before this Reunion sequel. While the first was very good erotica, Reunion is better because Ms. Kitt sets up serious relationship themes and conflict from the first page and carries it through the entire story. I majored in Lit., and I like good erotica - but I don't expect the two to overlap. However, this book does manage some of both. The substance comes from extensive reflection on the frightening uncertainties of a devoted couple trying to decide whether to pursue polyamory (an open marriage). There is plenty of sex in all of Ronnie's reunions, but the resulting emotions are continually evaluated until our narrator/protagonist's "head catches up with her heart". This is the fourth I've read by Kitt; it is easily the best; and I will be reading more: highly recommended. This is a 5-star in the Erotica genre.

When I brought this book I was a little unsure. But was pleasantly suprised.

Not alot of sex but this book is still very interesting. It was more in the way of a connector book, setting the scene for the Janey book (and Henry too I hope!)

It really was a reunion book & very sweet because of it.
