Erika Wilde turns up the heat in THE MARRIAGE DIARIES, an erotic series about a married couple who take intimacy and passion to the extreme.
After nearly twenty years of marriage, Jillian Noble is ready to put some spice back into her sex life with her gorgeous husband, Dean. After seducing him at his office, Jillian reveals what she wants, and her husband is more than happy to oblige. Erotic fantasies are fulfilled, and forbidden passions surface as they open themselves up to a provocative world where boundaries are pushed to the limit and pleasure is the ultimate goal.
But Dean has a dark past, and even darker desires that he’s kept a tight rein on all these years. When he gives his wife a taste of his more illicit appetite, will she embrace his carnal needs, or beg for mercy?
WARNING: Contains explicit sexual content and is recommended for mature readers who enjoy erotic situations, as well as graphic language and imagery.
Dean and Jillian's marriage is something I think every woman/girl lusts after. The Marriage Diaries simply tells a story of growth and trust in an already ideal relationship. But like any relationship, there is always room for improvement. Jillian and Dean may have worked through thick and thin to get where they are now but, they have exceeded everyone's expectations and built a beautiful life together. Their only fault, they have strict vanilla sex in the bedroom. A matter which Jillian is determined to rectify. How? Oh you know just by seducing her husband in every which way. Jillian and Dean absolutely consume one another. Their passion is elevated to a new level and they open up their minds to new ideas including bondage, role play and a whole host of other kinky ideas.
I could tell from the beginning and the bits of back story that Jillian and Dean are such a strong couple. They've been together since their younger years, and truly have a story that most people would kill to live. I loved Jillian's unabashed adoration and need for Dean. She knew exactly what to do and what to say to get him to fulfill her sexual fantasies, and give into his need for kink that he has always kept at bay. Dean on the other hand, is incredibly dominant and captivating. Jillian definitely has a alpha, panty-melter on her hands. And while these stories are absolutely smoking hot, there is still substance and a story to be read. I thoroughly enjoyed each installment in The Marriage Diaries and am so thrilled there is no end in sight for these two and their sexual escapades. I also wanted to say that this is a different kind of story. And I have to commend Erika Wilde. I mean, I love all of her books so I was going to give this a shot no matter what but, I had a moment of pause with the "been married for 20 years" part. Yes, I know call me a snob or whatever else but, I don't tend to like the already married books. And now I will admit that I was wrong and my TBR list just grew exponentially *hangs head in shame*. This series is written masterfully, and I was enthralled from beginning to end. It was definitely not what I was expecting and I was oh so pleasantly surprised. Long story short, go buy this series! You'll fall in love with Jillian and Dean and be stalking Erika Wilde, begging her to give you the next installment :) PS you can get ALL 4 current installments for .99 cents! So now you really have absolutely zero excuses to not buy it. So go. Now.
Happy Reading!

Meet Erika:
Erika Wilde (aka
Janelle Denison) is the USA Today bestselling author of over 50 contemporary romances for multiple print publishers.
So, why the new pen name?
As Janelle Denison I’ve always written sexy books, but lately my writing has taken on more erotic elements that I wanted to keep separate for readers because not everyone likes their reading material on the spicier, kinkier side of romance. However, please be assured that even as Erika Wilde, you will still get an emotionally layered story with characters you’ll care about and fall in love with. That is always my goal, whether I’m writing straight contemporary romances, or more erotically charged stories.
Currently, I’m working on The Marriage Diaries and making sure that Dean and Jillian enjoy exploring the more erotic side to their marriage. The series will be on-going, with no foreseeable ending as of right now, for as long as readers want to be voyeurs to Dean and Jillian’s sizzling new relationship.
I’m also planning a spin-off series in the future, featuring the hot military men that work security for Dean at Noble and Associates. My next book, THE INVITATION, will introduce the men of that new series, THE PLAYERS CLUB.
