Book description
The last thing I wanted was a boyfriend, let alone two.
I wanted to explore my sensual side in a safe space, a club designed where other like-minded people can experiment and discover themselves. It was a chance to take back the confidence my ex had stolen.
No strings attached.
No relationships.
So, of course, a heated one-night stand changed everything.
But the man helping me check off my erotic wishlist wasn’t just one ridiculously hot guy. Instead, I find myself caught in the snare of identical twins playing a dangerous game.
They don’t deserve forgiveness for the way they basically parent-trapped me at a sex club, but I just can’t stop coming back for more. You know what they say… two is always better than one.
We promised each other that things would stay purely physical, friends with benefits only.
Too bad my stupid heart gets involved. Is it possible that this connection has derailed their plans and they feel something too?
I’ve got a prestigious career, societal expectations, and a vengeful ex to contend with. Will I let that all get in the way of my happiness, or will I finally take what I want, times two?
Double Your Standards book club discussion guide
**PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS DISCUSSION QUESTION GUIDE MIGHT INCLUDE SPOILERS**
We’ve provided the Dirty Dozen below; twelve spicy and intriguing questions to spark discussion and help you uncover the spine-tingling depths of the story.
The Dirty Dozen
Foreplay – Warm Up Questions
1. What’s the overall spice level? 1 (Not Spicy) – 10 (Spiciest Thing I’ve Ever Read)?
2. How does the spice level compare to the other books we’ve read together?
3. When someone comes on strong and blunt right out of the gate, does that confidence pull you in or immediately put you off?
The Spicy Bits – Gettin’ Down and Dirty with the Plot
4. Given the choice between walking away with dignity or giving in to temptation in a risky, thrilling setting, which would you honestly choose and why?
5. Do you think people sometimes lose interest once they realize you don’t need fixing, or have you been attracted to a walking red flag because you think you can “fix them”? How does that change the power dynamic in attraction?
6. This was just the best line: “F*ck you. You two rats in a trench coat sex club parent-trapped me.” If you were unknowingly swapped in a situation involving twins, would you feel violated, amused, or secretly intrigued once you found out?
7. Could you have forgiven the twins like Kate did? Would their good qualities (and excellent sex didn’t hurt I’m sure) have helped you forgive them or not?
8. When you want something to work badly but won’t say what you’re truly afraid of, are you protecting the relationship or sabotaging it?
9. How would you react to unexpectedly meeting a partner’s family early on? Is it romantic destiny vibes or full internal panic?
10. Gavin spills his feelings for the first time ever but doesn’t know how Kate will react. Have you ever been in a similar situation? What happened?
11. After all the themes of risk, vulnerability, and choosing yourself, what kind of reassurance would help you feel safe after opening your heart anyway?
Aftercare – Final Thoughts
12. If you read all three books, which of the Carlson brothers would be for you? Just this one – which twin?
Bonus: What questions do you have for the author? If you could dog-ear a page with a question for the author, what would it be?
