How One Couple Turned Off The TV and Turned on their Sex Lives for 101 Days
(No Excuses)

Crown Publishing New York
Douglas Brown looooves his wife, Annie, and (of course) she loves him. Fourteen years into married life, they have two children who are doted upon and (of course) like to interrupt their parent's sex life whenever possible. The kids got on my nerves with their demands for attention but hey, that's the reality of having children in a household. Annie also got on my nerves. She's entirely too cute. But that's not her fault, it's her husband's perception...And it occurs to me that if she had written the book, from her perspective, I don't think she could get away with being as descriptive of Douglas...
Don't read this book if you're hoping to read for graphic erotica. There are some details but most is left to the imagination. There's a focus on the changes that Douglas and Annie go through as a married couple in their search for permanent "home" which turns out to be - well - WHERE THE HEART IS! Yeesh! But, yes, it's true.

(CHAPTER: MAKING LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON)
"Love happens. Yes, it takes nurturing, heat, and light. It demands commitment. it requires certain chemistry. Bur for lucky people, for whatever combination of factors, love blossoms. It's unconscious: a force, a fire, a spirit. Romance, by contrast, is alert. It's intentional. It has an intelligence. It's a dance, of sorts. Both people in a relationship must consider what please their partner; but surprise - something new - claims an important piece of the romance puzzle. So delivering romance is much more complicated than simply referring to a list of likes, picking one, and going for it. In sum, it's magicians' work.
Page 217. I learned something new: asshole bleaching is the latest craze - big thing on both coasts - pornography gone mainstream... No. I don't think I personally want a lighter shade of pink!
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY !
