This is a great read full of healthy sex and sexuality on every page. The book is open and honest. It empowers women and respects everyone. It would be a fun, titillating gift for anyone, especially someone about to head off on an island vacation or cruise. Between the Sheets is a memoir that doesn’t push any agenda. The author is just sharing her life at sea. As such, it would put any reader in the mindset to transition relationships from casual to sexual whether it’s a new acquaintance, coworker, or longtime friend. The book would help inject a new sexuality into stale relationships or folks who are disheartened. The sex comes quickly but is never a crass, superficial hook up. The emotions are strong and the romance is wonderful. The book tells a perfect dream of an author abandoning the workaday world for freelance work crewing one sailboat yacht after another across the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Mediterranean. It is the ideal setting for quick, brief, beautifully intimate relationships. It is the perfect literary setting to combine gorgeous views, close quarters, and late nights with excellent food and drink that finish with good sex. The analogies of stiff masts and portholes are many. The analogies stay fun and fresh throughout the book. The stories are heteronormative while being very inclusive and would welcome all forms of healthy sex that respects partners. While focused on the sea and warm weather, the book would also be a great read for someone in a cold, landlocked climate. But the book isn’t just about fantasy. The book has a pumping rhythm that will lock any reader into an action mindset. The writing is clever, entertaining, and life affirming. "Live your best life" is the message, and your best life includes lots of good sex. Dave C
