For Helen, the road to depravity is not a very long one. In fact, it only stretches as far as the house next door and the garden, which has plenty of conveniently situated foliage to hide the naughty goings on. It also affords Helen's soon-to-be ex-husband plenty of hiding places for his voyeuristic pleasures. Yes, there are debauched couplings aplenty here: this is, after all, a Ray Gordon novel. However, I had to keep reminding myself of that because much of the novel's first half is, by his standards, quite tame. It's never less than good filthy fun, though.

Helen decides that a career in prostitution may be the way forward for her. Now that her dull marriage is coming to an end, she has discovered the delights of unhygienic sex with the couple next door, her husband's friend and a couple of strapping young gardeners. And then, things get really interesting.

Fans of Ray Gordon will not be disappointed with this novel. Once again, he displays his incredible imagination as far as sexual situations go. However, the novel rehashes some well used Ray Gordon plot lines and I have to say that the blackmail storyline is poorly realized here and its resolution is weak. If you've never read Ray Gordon before, his brand of erotica is crude, coarse and dirty. If you like this novel, I'd also recommend Sex Crazed, Sex Thief (Blue Moon) and Uninhibited.

After divorcing her controlling (& sexually boring) husband of ten years, a woman makes up for lost time with her neighbors, who are a lot more kinky than they let on. The sex scenes are pretty good, but I skimmed over the BDSM ones (not really my thing). I'm looking forward to reading more of his work.
