"torrid erotic romance"
Kim Ryan writes the syndicated "Ask Miranda" column and
facilitates the "Creative Loving Weekends" that provides
sex
therapy to participants. However, she is pregnant with
twins that her doctor labels as high risk. As such she
will either cancel or find a substitute for her winter
session in the Catskills. Using her weapon of last choice,
their ailing mother, Kim persuades her reluctant older
sister Tracy to run the session. After two years Tracy still reels from catching her nasty
spouse in bed with another woman and worse to her psyche
are his comments about her frigid lack of compassion in the
sack. However, she finds Dave Markoff, owner of Catskill
Lake Resort, host to the therapy session, attractive. They
make love in every imaginable position and soon fall in
love. Still, she carries ex-spousal baggage while he has a
commitment problem making a permanent relationship
impossible. Erotic romance readers will enjoy the torrid relationship
between the lead couple in and outside the sheets. The
story line is fun to follow as Tracy regains her confidence
and other couples find their way to an adult consenting
relationship (with one male exception). The overuse of
profanity sometimes feels more like shock value and Tracy's
ex is such an obviously nasty loser that readers will
wonder about Tracy's post reaction to his ugliness. Still
fans will declare this novel is NEVER ENOUGH, as they will
demand more hot stories from Joan Elizabeth Lloyd. Harriet Klausner
