This novella is Hawt Hawt Hawt. I absolutely love JC and Gwen’s character. I absolutely enjoyed reading their sexy story. This is really good from start to finish. Just know that it’s a must read now!!!
*insert fanning self gif* Holy hotness! Laurelin never disappoints with this world and these characters. I’m always left needing more. Such a great novella. Makes me want to read Free and Find me again. If you loved those books, you definitely need to pick this up. So so good.
A hot steamy novella regarding a secret sex club called The Open Door. Laurelin Paige has been hanging out with her buddy Sierra Simone and has been taking notes from the queen of kink! How do you keep your relationship interesting after marriage and children? If an invitation is received from a secret sex club are you going? Are you curious? Will you watch or participate?
Someone call the fire brigade because Laurelin Paige has turned up the heat for real in The Open Door. This steamy novella is going to turn you on fast and hard. JC and Gwen is bringing back seductive passion in their loving married life and you are cordially invited to the spectacle!
JC and Gwen have come so far as a couple. They are married and have three beautiful kids. But the stress of everyday life takes toll on the fictional characters too. That is what I actually loved most about this story. Laurelin Paige shows us the boring, dull, struggling and difficult side of our favorite couple. They are still very much in love and means world to each other. But they can feel the ex factor fading slowly in bed. And then comes the invitation to The Open Door. The super secret and exclusive sex club for the rich powerful people. Can the club spice up their marriage or will it divide them?
JC is still JC. Only a bit older but hotter and sexier. He is still that uber possessive and protective alpha man. My heart was positively melting with all his gestures as a loving husband, adorable father and considerate lover. Gwen has so much in her plate now. She is a doting mother, caring wife and successful business woman. She is sure about JC’s loyalty and undying love. But insecurities and tiredness creep up sometimes. And I love the way she accepted all and conquered them. Their connection is stronger than ever. And their experience in The Open Door is definitely responsible for it. The scenes in the club are some of the most dirty, filthy and sensual ones written by Laurelin Paige. And it was so much more than physical pleasure. Through the forbidden thrills, they got reacquainted with their boundaries and connections. It was sultry and swoony at the same time.
The Open Door by Laurelin Paige was a delicious treat for me. It had everything that I love about her writing. It was romantic. It was sensual. It was intense. It was a short yet hundred percent stimulating saga of love and lust.
Received ARC for Honest review
I absolutely loved anything from Laurelin Pagie’s Fixed world, so when I saw she was going to give us a look into Gwen and JC’s happily ever after, from The Found Duet, I was so excited. The Open Door was a look into life after marriage, kids and everyday life. Gwen and JC are still in love and happy, but sometimes life gets in the way of being a couple. How do you get that connection back? You open the door to all kinds of possibilities!
I loved seeing Gwen and JC’s life now. Seeing how important their love is and their need to connect. How they talk about what they want and how they move forward. Because even if you are a family now, connecting with the person you love is just as important. Though I loved seeing their everyday life and happiness, I loved seeing them bring on the sexy and steamy as well!

Happy reading!
Oh my sizzling couple… Gwen and JC stories after the wedding and having children.. JC is definetely adore Gwen to the T. The ideas to spice up their marriage was sooo hot.. I totally understand Gwen’s feeling about herself.. sure dooo ladies.. The sex club was a crazy experience. Goodness with all the ideas..
I was curious about how a married couple in love would behave when given the chance to expand their intimate activities.
The mundane of marriage life takes a glossy after effect when they insert the forbidden nature of a special club in their schedule. This very relatable couple reacts in a way that I really appreciated. They address the scandalous activities in there, not like jaded experts, but as ordinary people with insecurities and questions. It’s much hotter and interesting that way.
This novella touches on kinks and pleasure, yet also relationships and communication and true love. I liked the hectic day to day of family and children, and the visits to the club to explore the possibilities. Sometimes the characters did things I didn’t particularly like but they served them to grow as a couple and to find out things about themselves. The last limit they test is intense and acts as a catalyst for them.
I liked the ending, the man’s patience and the woman’s vulnerability that wasn’t perfect. Very hot and appealing.
We’ve met Cruce before and now we find out his story. He’s part of the Jameson Force Security team and is assigned to protect the President’s niece, as a favor to him.

He’s never been distracted on a mission because he knows how dangerous that can be, but Barrett is the biggest distraction he’ll face.
Code Name: Sentinel is romantic, suspenseful, dangerous and will hold your attention with every turn of the page. Sawyer Bennett creates strong characters with enormous sex appeal. This couple’s chemistry is explosive and the dance of the seduction they share will curl your toes.

„My kink is you.”
I loved Gwen and JC in The Found Duet, so I was really excited for this novella. And Laurelin Paige proved once again what an amazing author she is. The Open Door sucked me in from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down. I’m always wondering how life’s treatening the heroes years later and the author gave me an insight into their marriage. And my god, it was so HOT! I was constantly flushed during this read.
8 years of marriage is a long time. Especially with work and kids taking away all the time and energy. Many would think that the flame will cool down. But when the doubts creep in, what would you do? That’s the question on Gwen’s mind. Especially now, when she and and her husband got an invitation to mysterious club- The Open Door. Will the visit in the infamous sex club spice up their marriage? How far would they go to satisfy each other’s desires?
I still can’t comprehend how the author put that amount of steam in such a short story. It’s incredible. But aside of that, she also put me in the suspense, guessing how the story will unfold. Entering the sex club is one thing. Allowing yourself to participate in the activities is the other. I loved how Laurelin showed everything step by step and that I could explore along with the characters everything club has to offer. During this read I’ve experienced moments when I had to bite my lip from anticipation, sometimes I needed to fan myself because of the hotness pouring from the pages of this story, but overall I just swooned, because this book fed my hopes. JC and Gwen are still very much in love. And for a hopeless romantic like me it’s essential.
The Open Door is a quick and incredibly hot read that will steal your breath. The plot captures your attention from the very first sentence and keeps it till the end. I loved this steamy novella!

4 Stars!
JC and Gwen are a married couple living in New York City. They both work full time, and are hands on parents to their children. They’ve been together eight years, and finding time for themselves as a couple can be challenging with three boys under the age of six. Lately they’d sort of taken one another for granted, so when an opportunity to do something exciting that isn’t all about their identity as parents comes their way, they take the chance to spice up their relationship.
They receive an invitation to join an exclusive club called the Open Door. They’d heard rumors about the ultra exclusive voyeur’s paradise where the elite go to play and fulfill their deepest, darkest fantasies. They are curious, and suddenly privy to a sexy secret society that will give them a place to deepen their physical connection and explore new experiences together. They grow as a couple, and it pushes them to truly appreciate each other, and focus on their love life.
The Open Door (A Found Duet Novella) is a 1001 Dark Nights standalone story by Laurelin Paige that is sinfully delicious! JC and Gwen explore all their hidden desires while strengthening their bond as a couple. I really enjoyed this short sexy story! It was sensual, and full of passion, emotion, and love.
