title: A Tired Woman's Guide to Passionate Sex: Reclaim Your Desire and Reignite Your Relationship
author: Laurie B. Mintz
description: Psychologist Mintz offers solutions for women with flagging sex drives and lackluster love lives in this accessible guide. A onetime sufferer herself, Mintz speaks from a place of experience and professional wisdom, encouraging readers to explore the (admittedly gimmicky) "Five T's"-thoughts, talk, time, touch and trysts-in an effort to reconnect with their libidos. After covering common causes (stress, life transitions, parenting, etc.), Mintz moves on to the techniques, many of which can be boiled down to increasing self-awareness, easing anxiety over charged thoughts or activities, and communicating with one's partner; Mintz goes so far as to offer sample scripts for broaching the subject of sex issues. Bolstered with plenty of case studies, readers are bound to identify with at least some of the examples here, learn to disregard the concept of "normal," , and find plenty of worthwhile exercises. Taking her topic seriously (also addressing, early on, more serious concerns such as illness, sexual trauma, and infidelity), Mintz offers deep sympathy and a number of sound options for rekindling burned-out sex lives. <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

  Book three in the Pleasure Brigade series.
   
  What happens in The Brigade stays in The Brigade…
  Viviana Marks crashes the annual Brigade masquerade with one mission—submitting to Chief of
  Security, Stryker. She isn’t about to pass up this opportunity to dabble in her BDSM fantasies with
  one of the best Doms around.
  Returning from a mission, Lance is surprised to discover an unknown woman posing as a former
  submissive of his. Curious, he assists Stryker in taking control of the sweet bundle of curves,
  sensuality and attitude.
  Viviana soon finds herself in a two-week training session with the two men, who are determined
  to unleash her darkest desires and awaken a need she’s ignored too long. When the time draws near to
  decide whether to continue her journey of sensual discovery, the true test is whether the tentative trust
  she’s built with the two Doms is enough to overcome her bitter past.
