Lara Woods is well known for her honest and fair book reviews for Detroit’s largest newspaper. Her latest book review, however, is her most stringent one to date. It is so critical of The Sex Plan, which claims sex is a great cure for many varied health problems, she has difficulty convincing her editor and friend to publish it. Of course, that could be because there is a possible conflict of interest. Although not a well known fact, Lara and the author, Adam Roy, were an item in college – until he cut her loose so he could focus more on his studies. When Lara comes into contact with Adam again, the sparks fly. He manages to convince, or maybe trick would be a more suitable word, Lara to let him prove his theories to her. Of course, the only way for him to do this is for him and Lara to test his claims - personally. With the sexual pull between them stronger than ever, this is no hardship – for either of them.

What would you do if you had cut the person you loved most out of your life and were desperate to get them back? Undoubtedly, what you would not do would be to spend fifteen years putting together a master plan which, had Adam really thought about it, could do more harm than good. Namely, setting up a publishing house (Power Publishing) and writing a book bound to be scorned by Lara, all in an attempt to get close enough to her for her to fall in love with him and trust him again. But will this seemingly ridiculous plan work? Did she ever really stop loving him? And will his claims about sex being the cure for all that ails you turn out to be a justified claim, after all?

Tawny Taylor's Sexual Healing is a rather original tale. Adam found the love of his life in college, but broke up with her to focus more on his studies, believing she would move on soon enough, not imagining the great hurt breaking up with her would cause her. Regretting doing this almost since the day he did so, he put in place an intricate plan to get her back, his pride too strong to just approach her and beg her forgiveness. That he invested fifteen years to get her back is really romantic and makes me sigh. That he did so because his pride got in the way of simply approaching her makes me want to hit him over the head for his stupidity in allowing all those years when they could have been together go to waste. Sexual Healing draws the reader into the storyline, so that they can empathise with the characters, and feel they know them enough to want to chastise them for their foolishness. With very detailed, erotic sex scenes that scorch the monitor, Sexual Healing is a story that is easy for me to recommend to everyone.
