It’s been such a long time since Sean’s been able to spend time alone with his wife but tonight, he and Maudi finally have the place to themselves. The kids have a football game to watch, followed by a dance to enjoy and Sean just wants to do something a little bit different for once. However, when he comes home early to surprise Maudi, Sean’s the one who gets a shock and the result leaves both of them questioning how well they really know their partner.

In Afternoon Delight, the importance of communication and the damage a lack of it can cause in a relationship is clear. Maudi has been fantasizing about adding a little bit of kink in the bedroom for a while but she’s too scared of her husband’s reaction to approach him. Sean’s been thinking the same thing and had no idea his wife had such thoughts but eventually, these things always come out and in this case, with sweltering results. There wasn’t really any time to forge a deep, meaningful connection with the characters but the author did a good job of getting the message across. The drama did walk a fine line between being believable and over-the-top on occasions, with characters’ emotions switching rather quickly at times but still, Afternoon Delight was an enjoyable piece of escapism.
