Book Excerpt:
"USA TODAY Bestselling Author, Naleighna Kai, tells the dynamic love triangle of a chance encounters that lands wealthy NBA star, Dallas Avery, back in the arms of Alicia, the woman of his dreams. A woman he hasn't seen in years. A woman he soon discovers is his fiancée's long-lost aunt!
But Tori isn't ready to give up all that she's worked for in their relationship, so she makes him a shocking offer—go through with the wedding, and she'll still allow him to be with the one woman he now can't seem to do without. Dallas will get a family, something her aunt can't give him, and Tori will have the lifestyle she clamors. And Alicia will embrace the love she's longed for all her life, and that had already been in her reach before she disappeared. Everyone will get a little of what they want. . . and maybe a whole lot of what they don't.
The details of the trio's love life play out in the tabloids and on talk shows, making Dallas the center of an NBA scandal. Eventually, the doors slam shut on this open marriage in the making, and Dallas is forced to make a choice to end the chaos. Unfortunately, moving on is easier than it looks, and by the time all is said and done, secrets will be revealed, passions will be extinguished, and everyone's lives will be forever changed.
"I have to be honest, I'm a little on the fence when it comes to Dallas and Alicia. On the one hand, I really wanted to hate them for what they did. On the other, I couldn't help but root for them and their beautiful love. I did like how Tori redeemed herself at the end, though, instead of following in her Mother's footsteps." S. E. Felida, Holland, Denmark
"While reading Open Door Marriage, the twists and turns were astounding. Not only was the main character's storyline well developed and presented, but the secondary characters also had a storyline of their own. When the drama unfolds throughout the book, you will be left with a slack jaw and angry feelings for some. Open Door Marriage was my first read by this author and will not be my last."--Midnight Red, Red Zone Certified 4.5 Stars.
"Chile, from page one, I wanted to be the cousin in this family. They were NUTS and dysfunctional as ever. I know that sounds crazy, but my family is small, and we never have drama. Anyway, this book was FILLED with drama. I laughed so much and HARD. Several people asked me was I okay while reading it. Bernice? Lawd! She was SCANDALOUS with a capital S! She's that relative you don't claim. Money hungry wasn't the word for her. I was Team Tori until I got deeper into the book. The apple usually doesn't fall far from the tree, so I knew this lady had some tendencies of being a child of the evil Bernice, and she showed it. I kept trying to sympathize with her situation, but her thirst was real! I understand him being the "perfect" man, but you can't make someone love you the way you want them too. His heart was with Alicia. But the dollar signs dancing around her heart made her just as greedy as her horrible Mother.
I wanted to slap Dallas then hug him. Poor Baby was so confused. I was with him on keeping both, though. Here you have two women that are willing to live in one house with one man and share him. WOW!!! I want two fine men to share with me. I wouldn't mind at all!!! LOL!!!
I loved Alicia. I could identify with her the most. Naleighna Kai should've written me in as her ride or die best friend because I would've gone UP TOP on Bernice and Tori for her. She had the patience of Job. Tori was itching for a beat-down, and I so wanted Alicia to give it to her. She handled it all well. I would've been on the news!"--Krisha DeShawn

Review:
"Open Door Marriage" by Naleighna Kai
My Speculation:
I was very interested in reading this novel, and by the end, I was happy I pick it up. I will say that these three people had some stuff choices to make. You will have to look at the whole picture as to what was going on in each of these main characters' Alicia, Dallas & Toni lives. I found each one had quite a story out there, and when it all comes together, it did make sense to me why things went on as they had. I will also say that the secondary characters where not to be left out because, indeed, they brought their baggage to front and center that put the icing on the cake as to say. It was definite who Dallas loved...whom Alicia loved and what Tori loved. As I read through this exciting story, I was left rooting for one particular person, and it came out just like I felt it should have been all along by the end of the story. Dallas was to be a good person who didn't want to let this one person down, and you will see how that turned out for him. Yes, there was lots of drama in these dysfunctional families, so how will this three-way love triangle unfold? Be ready for there to be twists and turns all over the place that will have you shaking your head and saying ... well, this is where I will stop and say you will have to pick up this novel and see how this author will bring it all out to the reader. I will end by saying the title "Open Door Marriage" caught my eye, and I did enjoy the read, and in the end, the right ones finally got there HEA.
