A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: ELF
Total Abandon by Opal Carew is a delightfully spicy tale of Sandra who decides to end her year of celibacy by making a salacious list with her girlfriend Aimee. A divorce after more than a decade of marriage to a high school sweetheart and the death of her dreams of love has made her wary of relationships but with encouragement she lists some of her sexual fantasies. Their friend Devlin reads the list and hopes that he can finally stop tiptoeing around Sandra but he doesn't want to catch her on the rebound. Sandra has trouble with the mixed signals she is receiving from her sexy friend but a wild weekend that Aimee sets up for her starts her well on her way to checking off the items on her list. The sexual escapades escalate far beyond the items on the list as Sandra and Aimee stretch their boundaries and eventually participate in several menages but Sandra discovers a taste for D/s and finds a partner who is only too willing to cater to her every desire. The question becomes, what is Devlin's role going to be in her life? A sinfully erotic tale that includes plenty of partner sharing and swapping, girl-on-girl encounters, bondage and submission, exhibitionism, toys and swings and a plot. A little something for everyone. Another enjoyable tale from a very entertaining author who knows how to keep the heat turned up in her tales of hedonism and sensuality.
