Married Sex: A Love Story
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
As a divorce lawyer for Manhattan’s elite, David Greenfield is privy to the intimate, dirty details of failed marriages. He knows he’s lucky to be married to Blair—a Barnard dean and the mother of their college-age daughter, she is a woman he loves more today than he did when they tied the knot.
Then seductive photographer Jean Coin asks David to be her lover for 6 weeks, until she leaves for Timbuktu. Tempted, David reasons that “it’s not cheating if your wife’s there.” A 1-night threesome would relieve the pressure of monogamy without wrecking their marriage. What harm could come of fulfilling his longtime sexual fantasy?

A libidinous fairy tale with an unusual Prince Charming.David Greenfield is a happily married Manhattan divorce lawyer though a self-described "first responder" when it comes to women's breasts. He loves to talk about books and art and also to gossip about his high-society clientele. When he's complimented for his forbearance in dealing with other people's problems, he humbly reflects, "I try not to go there. What's the point? If there were parades for people who suck it up and get on with their lives, the marching would never end." Unfortunately, as he watches other marriages die on the vine, David gets a little too smug about his own, still smokin' hot after 20 years. When he's propositioned by an important art photographer, he invokes the "adultery killer" clause he and wife Blair, a Barnard dean, devised years ago-you have to invite the person home for a three-way. Things go well with this adventure, until they don't. Turns out Mr. Perfect has lessons to learn about marriage after all. Some readers will love this book for the sex (you're going to find out what "tribbing" is, but please, don't Google it if your children are around); others will be more attracted to the Big Apple wisecracking ("a city where you hear two opinions on any topic but rarely a third") and the comic moments (look for the riff on Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne"). One way or another, journalist Kornbluth's debut novel is determined to woo you: "Over the years, I've come to think that the best way to learn about a woman-the best way short of spending a night with her-is to watch her read." If you like your sexy books soft-core, highbrow, and bi-curious, here's a hot couple hours for you.COPYRIGHT(2015) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Kornbluth’s debut novel starts off astonishingly smart and sexy but ends a little unevenly. David is a divorce lawyer who has been blissfully married to Blair, a Barnard dean, for over 20 years. Despite continually seeing the worst aspects of marriage, David and Blair keep theirs lively. However, charismatic photographer Jean Coin upends their world when she propositions David to be her lover for six weeks. David adheres to a deal he made with Blair years prior: if an offer came their way, it would have to involve both of them. They have two initial threesomes, but then a shocker muddies the whole situation, causing David to reevaluate his marriage. The eroticism of the mature marriage between David and Blair is intoxicating and delightful—a departure from the sedate, sexless midlife marriages that readers often find in literature. Coin’s appearance, however, signals a return to familiarity in the genre. Coin lacks motivation or depth, appearing merely to be a destructive force in their relationship and not much else. In addition, there are some believability issues with Blair’s motivations. Though some parts feel contrived, readers will appreciate the intimacy of the writing, both in its depiction of marriage as well as the New York City setting.
