A slightly different Between the Sheets this time, in that the book in focus does not actually contain much sex. That is because Opening Act, a charming novella by Suleikha Snyder, is only 85 pages long. But don’t let the short length put you off. Opening Act is a quick but engrossing read of unrequited love, misunderstandings, and music. It is also a multi-racial romance where, refreshingly, the race of the female protagonist is not the main focus.

By Hayley Charlesworth Welcome to another edition of I’m With Geek’s dedicated sex-in-literature feature, Between the Sheets. This time, we’re venturing into the past and colonial Australia with Keira Andrews’ historical romance, The Station. By Hayley Charlesworth Continuing I’m With Geek’s exploration of sex in literature, we join a story where the course of true love never did run smooth. Take a Chance on Me by Kate Davies focuses on a substitute teacher, a security guard, a class production of Romeo and Juliet and a shocking school incident. But we’re here to talk about the sex, and Take a Chance on Me has a brilliant summation of the book’s naughty bits in its blurb: “This book contains sexy encounters in classrooms, inappropriate use of school facilities, backstage shenanigans, and illicit activities on a ferryboat.” Ferryboat? How can this NOT be a must read? By Hayley Charlesworth Welcome to the first of our series of articles looking at sex in literature. Good or bad, sex scenes are being put under our microscope (not in a gross way). We begin with a look at an author featured on this site once before, Leta Blake, and her figure-skating themed romance, Training Season. |
