title: Just Between Us Girls: Secrets About Men From The Madam Who Knows
author:  Sydney Biddle Barrows 
description: The central thesis of Barrows's (Mayflower Madam, Morrow, 1986) latest book is that if a man is cheating on his wife, there is probably nothing wrong-except that his wife isn't acting enough like a hooker. Not to worry, Barrows offers a primer on the trade of tricks, including blow-by-blow descriptions of sexual maneuvers supposedly exclusive to professionals. The sections dealing with why men stray, how they do it, how to catch them, and how to make them stop are often humorous but are told with a know-it-all condescension that grates. Barrows meanders among a wide array of options for rekindling a marriage that has lost its spark, even offering her favorite brand of lubricant. Directed at the woman who believes she can save her marriage by greeting her husband while dressed in plastic wrap, this is not recommended on merit but may be popular.<br /><i>Adam Mazmanian, "Library Journal"</i><br />Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.

  ‘Save your warnings, Mr Grimshaw.’ She stood toe-to-toe with him and fixed him
  with a blistering glare.  
    
  
  Did she not realise the danger in which she’d placed herself? He had only to
  raise his arms and bend forward a few perilous inches and she would be captive
  in his embrace again, his lips on hers, taking what they wanted.  
    
  
  Or did she know exactly what she was doing? Was she trying to provoke his lust
  to test how much power she could exercise over him? Every muscle in Simon’s
  body tensed with the effort to keep his hands from her.  
    
  
  ‘I am not the kind of woman you think,’ Bethan insisted. ‘I would never have
  come to your bed last night if I’d known that was all you wanted from me. I
  suppose you reckoned that once you’d ruined me I’d have to take what I could
  get from you, but you’re wrong. I may have been a green little fool for
  trusting you, but I’ll be no man’s whore!’
