Synopsis

“Sister Jill isn’t just a foot soldier in what passes for war between the sexes. She’s our commander-in-chief and follow we must.”
 —Pearl Cleage, New York Times bestselling author of What Looks Like Crazy On An Ordinary Day

 

Let’s Get it On is acclaimed author Jill Nelson’s spicy, raucously satiric follow-up to her sensational bestseller Sexual Healing. Fans of Zane and The Vow, as well as Nelson’s own Voluntary Slavery, are going to love this outrageously provocative story about an attempt to open a “full service spa” for women on Martha’s Vineyard. “Jill Nelson tells it like it is,” Essence magazine writes, and the New York Times Book Review calls Nelson, “Fearless. She also knows how to construct a compelling narrative.”

About this title

From the Back Cover:

A spicy, raucously satiric follow-up to Jill Nelson's bestselling Sexual Healing

In Let's Get It On, a group of savvy friends start what they couldn't find elsewhere—a "full-service spa" that caters to professional women. After opening a wildly successful spa in Reno (which turned the world's oldest profession on its head), Lydia Beaucoup and her friends Acey Allen and LaShaWanda P. Marshall decide to grow their business—with a new spa on a boat moored off the shore at Martha's Vineyard. Just like their Reno operation, this haven for pampering is unique. In addition to massage and reflexology, clients can purchase fabulous, multiorgasmic safe sex from men trained to please women.

But selling sex is never easy. Insatiable clients, mob extortion, and a federal government that wants to ban sex between unmarried people are just a few of the problems that threaten to take down A Sister's Spa on Martha's Vineyard.

Smart, sizzling, and wickedly funny, Let's Get It On is an outrageous tale of three women who push traditional envelopes in pursuit of empowerment, and a witty, forthright look at what women really want.
