This perhaps wouldn't normally be my a-typical genre of reading range, but on recommendation of a friend I took the plunge and clicked it to my door.
From start to finish I was engaged with this book.
Jude has a unique writing style which like any good author pulls you into thier world; she then leave's you there as a semi-respectable voyeur, longing to be part of the ongoing wild fantasy.
This book ticks all of those boxes, and would in reality, provided your mother in law is as hot as hell. Having said that you kind of wish it all didn't happen in a way, and that things worked out 'better', but that's how the story goes, & I won't spoil it.
It is graphic without being gross, engaging in content, and one of those books that gets you looking at the receding thickness with disapointment!
That would be my only critisism, also perhaps she could have elaborated a little more the story line and the depth of the characters could be better explored.
I read a lot and usually have several books on the go, I must say this one got my undivided attention.
I enjoyed reading this book as much as I enjoy cooking with good olive oil, ( you will have to read it to understand.) Also one thing that I noticed was how well bound and printed the book is, on brilliant white thick pages, and good type face, something that cannot be said for many books I read.
Having said that it wouldn't matter what it was written on ....part 2 must be coming..I hope...

There are many erotic stories/books, the majority of them being boring or/and embarrassing to read, not because it's about sex, but because they are so badly written that sex is the last thing you want after you've read them.
This is not one of them. In addition to writing about sex in a way that makes you want sex, and to read the story over again, this book has got what most other erotic stories lack: a good story and a good storyteller.
This is not an easy thing to do, it takes a courageous woman to write a book like this.
The main character, Julia, is a widow after many years in an idle marriage. Her son-in-law, Alex, and her daughter, Kate, are on their side sick and tired of each other, equally sexually frustrated. Alex still have feelings for Kate, but she has changed into something hard he doesn't recognise, and they are unable to communicate anymore. Although Alex tries, they cannot be in the same room. Like many of us, they just let everything go on and on, fearing the needed confrontation. We immediately become Julia's best friend, we're frustrated by her selfish daughter, irritated by her son-in-law and his fear of confrontation - but with much sympathy with him.
Kate tells her mother about her frustrations, which puts Julia in the strange position of being an understanding, helpful mother - and attracted to her daughter's husband, having sexual fantasies about him. He, in turn, also turns to Julia for understanding and help. He's in love with her, he finds the warmth and understanding in Julia that he's missed in his marriage.
Writing about sex is difficult. Try it if you like! In stead of the usual, technical litany about what you can do with a body, the author manages to describe sex without being embarrassing. She goes - THANK GOD! - straight to the point. She is a good storyteller, the characters get so close to the reader that we "know" exactly what they look like, the way they talk, move - think. Her descriptions of the characters makes reading the book almost like watching a movie.
Julia and Alex runs in circles, "smelling" each other, unbearably long also for the reader, and when they finally have sex we want to scream out an orgasmic "Yes! YES! YES!!", like Meg Ryan in "When Harry met Sally" - only we're not faking it. They SO deserve to be together!
We follow Kates way in and out of marriage, meeting a new man, her rage when she's told about Alex' relationship with her mother. Kate is an unpleasant aquaintance, she irritates me so much I don't want anything good for her. But the author doesn't fall for the temptation to punish her - and since we are Julias best friends, we agree.
Yes, the book is full of sex. Good sex. Delicious sex, even.

I read Jude's second novel, "My Adventures in Cyberspace" years before I read this book and that one is a much longer, more substantial, moving and in depth work which I highly recommend. (See my other reviews.) I don't normally read erotic fiction but was curious to see how different this book would be compared to her other book. So I finally went ahead and bought this one and gave it a read. It is indeed completely different and holds true to its genre in being light, highly erotic reading.
The sex scenes are the highlights, as they should be in a book promoted as such. If you're looking for something to inspire and arouse you and your partner in that department then I reckon this book would do it for most people. Of course everyone's sexual preferences are different, so fair enough, there will be some people who don't get turned on by it. I think you can get a fairly good idea from the number and quality of positive reviews on here that most people really enjoyed this book, to put it mildly, myself included. Personally, it was as if the author was able to see inside my mind, understand my thoughts about sex and the sort of things that turn me on and then put them into words for my reading pleasure. Not bad at all! Sure there's a nice, light story in it too to give it some structure. So interspersed between the exciting chapters, suddenly it's the next day and a character is on the train, having a serious conversation etc. This back and forth between the mundane and the juicy parts is a bit like when you and your lover are getting really into it and the phone rings, it's your boss, you hang up and then have to get back in the mood. To be honest I actually skipped over the less exciting passages more than once and jumped straight on to the next hot chapter. So yes, I may have lost the plot at times but quite enjoyed this book!
