Excerpt
It's been so long since I made love, I can't even remember who gets tied up.—Joan Rivers
Sarah plopped down on the couch next to me. “Hi-ee,” she whispered seductively.
I dragged my eyes away from the latest Dodgers debacle and glanced her way. She flashed a wall-to-wall smile and put her arm around me. Looking back at the TV, she kissed my cheek and snuggled her head into the crook of my neck.
“Guess what?” she said. Her free hand began to rub my chest as the fingers of her other hand twirled my hair.
“You’re sure in a good mood.” Not meaning to ignore her question.
“More than that,” she responded. “I’m in a fantastic mood. You know why?”
“No, but I’ll bet you’re going to tell me.”
“Ooh, Danny, you’re so smart. You should go on a psychic hotline. I’m in a fantastic mood because we’re going to enter into a new and enhanced version of our previously moribund sex life.”
Moribund sex life? Suddenly the Dodgers game didn’t seem so important, especially with them behind six to nothing. “What do you mean moribund? I think our sex life is great.”
“It may be great to you, but to me it’s vanilla. It’s so boring that if I were another woman, I would have taken a lover, but I do love you, not to mention you already have the tall, blond, lean, surfer good looks and equipment I would look for in a lover.”
I had no idea.
Her hand abandoned my chest for a bag she had beside her. It slipped inside and pulled out a book. “I had lunch with Tish today and she told me she and David injected a shot of adrenalin into their sex life by once a week enacting a sex scene from this book. She said she hasn’t had this much fun since she was fifteen in the back seat of Jerry’s car.”
Tish and her husband David lived across the street, buying their home four months after we bought ours. Tish and Sarah had been close friends since elementary school. You might say they were thick as thieves.
Sarah set the book on my lap. I tensed when her hand went back to my chest, concentrating on a nipple jutting through the fabric of my shirt. “Jerry?” I inquired.
“Just some guy she went with for a while when we were sophomores.”
“Hmmm. Did you have a Jerry?”
“Of course. Didn’t everyone?”
A devilish smile formed on my lips. “There are no Jerrys in my past.”
Shouldn’t have said that because her finger left my nipple and began tickling me. “No Jerrys huh? I’ll bet there were plenty of Geraldines, Peggy Sues too!”
“Whoa, hold on.” I grabbed her hand and put it back, but she moved it down to my stomach.
“Were you visiting guys’ backseats at fifteen?”
“Heavens no. I waited a lot longer. At least fifteen and a half.” She giggled. Now it was my turn to tickle her.
“Fifteen and a half?”
She began to squiggle around frantically. “Stop it.” Sarah is really ticklish. “Stop it,” she screeched. “You’ll make me pee.”
I backed off. “Wow, you were practically a virgin when we met in college.”
With an indignant huff she straightened herself up and rested her hand just above my belt. Her fingers slipped just under and began moving.
Picking the book up, in such manner as not to disturb her ministration, I looked at the title, Lascivious Liaisons by Madame X. “This is nothing but an erotic rag,” I exhorted.
“I know. Isn’t it great? It’s got some great imaginative sex scenes in it. Tish says all we have to do is follow the book and our sex life will soar. Here read this one.”
I started to read where Sarah’d pointed and she unbuckled my belt.
Sarah is beautiful newlywed who loves her husband, but wants to spice up their boring sex life. So she borrows her best friend’s Lascivious Liaison's book; she is planning to re-create the scenes with her husband.
Danny is a handsome and loving husband who thinks his wife and his sex life is great until Sarah, one Friday night, drops the truthful bomb.
Sarah and Danny’s sex life takes on a whirlwind life of its own. Danny is willing to go along with it to help keep his marriage intact, but what starts out as a every man’s fantasy soon turns into a nightmare. Danny discovers that his wife and her best friend, Tish, are lovers. Now Danny has to decide if he wants them both or not.
By The Book
is a great read. It poses some interesting “what would you do” questions. I love the way the characters draw you into the story, and really make you think. By The Book is a definite mind blower that you have to read. Rating, Five Stars

Danny thought he had it made, a beautiful wife, satisfying sex life and a rewarding marriage. Little did he know that his smoking hot wife, Sarah, was not as sexually satisfied as he, until Sarah suggests spicing up their lovemaking. Danny agrees to Sarah’s idea of re-enacting scenes from Lascivious Liaisons by Madame X once a week. Danny remains in the dark as to what Sarah’s true intentions are. Each Friday night, the couple acts out new imaginative sexual agenda’s, which sends the passion between them spiraling upward, growing more intense with each passing week. Things come to a head as their adventures become a little to wild for Danny to handle. When Danny goes to Sarah’s best friend, Tish, for advice, will he be able to embrace the new situation that he's offered?
BY THE BOOK is mesmerizing, intriguing and full of scorching eroticism. The interpersonal dynamics between Sarah and Danny are very interesting. I found myself drawn into their sensual struggle to reanimate their sex life and marriage. As their encounters progress from “full service” oral sex, to making whoopee in public places, the intensity grows, building towards a stunning climax. I found myself wishing that Tish had been introduced into the story much earlier as her involvement brought another wonderful layer to the read. Had Tish’s part been embraced before the end run of the piece, I feel that the book would have had a higher feeling of completion. Dee Dawning gives voice to an erotic tale that delivers passion, emotional involvement, and some delicious unconventional sex that will spark fantasies in those who read it.
