Married Sex: A Love Story

By Jesse Kornbluth

When a husband convinces his wife to join him in a tryst with another woman, there are unintended consequences …

As a divorce lawyer for Manhattan's elite, David Greenfield is privy to the intimate, dirty details of failed marriages. He knows he's lucky to be married to Blair—a Barnard dean and the mother of their college-age daughter, a woman he loves more today than when they tied the knot.

But when seductive photographer Jean Coin asks David to be her lover for six weeks until she leaves for Timbuktu, David is tempted, reasoning that ‘it's not cheating if your wife's there.’ A one-night threesome would relieve the pressure of monogamy without wrecking their marriage. What harm could come of fulfilling his longtime sexual fantasy?

‘[Married Sex] is a skillfully written, light-hearted and clever story that manages to be steamy but never salacious … All characters, even the brief appearances of the minor, mostly comic ones, are drawn so well that we sense their uncharted depths.’ —The New York Times Book Review

‘Some readers will love this book for the sex … others will be more attracted to the Big Apple wisecracking … If you like your sexy books soft-core, highbrow, and bi-curious, here’s a hot couple hours for you.’ —Kirkus Reviews
