It can be nice being "Naughty", April 29, 2007
This review is from: Naughty Housewives (Paperback)
"Tit for Tat". Shelby's husband Eric has betrayed their marriage vows by having a one-night stand while on a business trip. Consumed with guilt for neglecting her husband in the past, she feels she may have been partially responsible for Eric's actions, but while she wants to fight for her marriage and make it work, she doesn't think she can get past it unless she "evens the score" and sleeps with another man. Eric is understandably devastated, but agrees if it will bring his wife back to him. Not one to put things off, Shelby leaves the house immediately, with no plan other than to find a suitable guy to spend the night with. Eric follows her, not to stop her but to make sure she's sage, and watches as she nervously selects the guy, then takes him to a nearby motel. But what ends up being a cold act of revenge ends up changing their marriage in a way neither of them expected, and bringing them closer together than ever....
"Tuesdays with Lori". Lori loves her husband and the life they have planned together. Working hard, making sacrifices, it will all be worth it in the end. But after only 18 months of marriage, their sex life has been reduced to tired gropings in the dark, and Lori wants more. Much more. So with Kent's work schedule in mind, she has worked out a plan to liven up the bedroom by having all-out, wild sex on Tuesdays. But first, she has to make Kent want it bad. He has to hunger for her and think of nothing but sex. And she accomplishes just that. Kent loves Lori, but now he craves his hot, little wife like a drug, but he can't touch her for seven (!) days. The sweet, sexy woman he fell in love with has become a hot, addictive witch who fuels his fantasies. The love of his life has truly become the woman of his dreams.
"G Marks the Spot". Sweet, shy Dani misses her globe-trotting, gorgeous husband, Trevor. After 8 months of marriage, this is their first night apart, and it's been difficult on both of them. Left alone in their home, Dani takes this time to explore the sprawling mansion, and discover all its secrets. While she hoped to learn more about her new husband, she didn't expect to find the collection of extremely sexy DVDs behind a locked door, but now that she has, she has every intention of finding out just what kind of man Trevor is, and if she's woman enough to satisfy his desires. Trevor has always been self-sufficient, ever since his parents divorced and he's had to depend on himself to get through it. Finding Dani has opened up his world to love, and he cherishes more than he ever thought possible. She's always enjoyed their time together in the bedroom, never shying away from his touch, but how will she feel about the sexy movies he likes to watch? Or the locked room in their house? Well, there's really only one way to find out, and Trevor has the key....
What I liked about these stories is that they are about exploring one's fantasies in a loving, devoted relationship, and in this case, it's marriage. I am a huge fan of erotic romance (stress the romance) so that was a big plus for me. And also, there is humor and affection in each story, which makes the hot, raging sex even better, imo.
Elizabeth Scott doesn't evade the consenting issue, either. There are certain scenes (i.e. potential anal sex) that make the heroine uncomfortable, and I liked that it wasn't forced on her if she truly didn't want it. Nowadays, you can't find many erotic romances without the (obligatory) anal sex scenes, and certainly not one where the heroine says "no" and means it. I liked that the hero and heroine didn't have to like every single thing that was brought to the table, or to the bedroom. Being game for anything and everything is only sexy if it fits the characters and they really want it. Each of the stories has its own individual fantasies, and it was a refreshing change from many of the cliche'd erotic romance out there. This is my first, but not the last, book from ES.

Naughty Housewives, February 3, 2008
This review is from: Naughty Housewives (Paperback)
These were three very erotic, steamy, and sensual stories. What made them very appealing was that these stories were all about married couples. I haven't seen many books written about married couples, and this was a refreshing change of pace.
Even though these were short, Elizabeth Scott had a nice mixture of solid story and sex.

Come Tell Me a Bedtime Story, September 19, 2007
This review is from: Naughty Housewives (Paperback)
Naughty Housewives by Elizabeth Scott will do anything but put you to bed; maybe spice up your bedroom if nothing else. In three short tales, Ms. Scott brings erotica to a whole different level. While kinky is consensual it does not mean rape. It is ok to say no, and being honest and open to an experience with the person you love and it just brings you closer together.
Shelby and her husband Eric are seeing a counselor due to Eric's cheating. It was all a bad mistake Eric claims, but Shelby vows revenge in tit for tat. Shelby is out to teach Eric a lesson and if cheating was good enough for him, well she will follow suit and see how her indiscretions make him feel. The turning point for both comes when Shelby gets more out of her little fling with the bar guy, Jason, then she expected. Will this make them even or will Eric be left out in the cold?
Lori and Kent are a hard working, married couple who are saving for their future. With a plan in hand, for what they want there lives to be in the next five years, their sex life has become close to null. Lori wants Kent craving for her, so much so that she has limited him to "Sex on Tuesdays". Well Kent is just about to become a stark raving maniac if Lori thinks he can wait seven days to have sex with his wife. Will Kent learn his lesson, or will it backfire and leave Lori alone?
Dani and Trevor are still in the newlywed phase of their marriage, with eight months in they are separated for the first time, due to Trevor going away on business. While roaming the mansion that they share, Dani uncovers a secret room full of erotic movies. She is now questioning herself; does she really know this man she married? Is she not woman enough for him? Why has he kept all of this hidden from her? She will soon find out When G Marks the Spot. Trevor is full of surprises and that is not the only door that will be opened when he makes his way home.
I recommend this book to erotic book lovers. This is a clean read with a touch of humor, and very vividly described scenes.
