Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Now playing: the second verse of Nelson's wildly popular debut (Sexual Healing), with Marvin Gaye again providing the thematic backup for the over-the-top sexual shenanigans and ribald politics embraced by the proprietors of A Sister's Spa. This time out, Yale-educated lawyer LaShaWanda P. Marshall, and fellow spa founders Lydia Beaucoup and Acey Allen recreate their successful unorthodox Reno, Nev., spa on a boat moored off Martha's Vineyard. As Wanda puts it: œWe were offering women multiorgasmic sex without the complications or mating, dating, or a relationship, and they were hungry for it, In Martha's Vineyard, the crew appeals to the established black community to open its arms to the new business while battling a mobster trying to shake them down, a racist madman in their midst and a president who aims to outlaw anything but sex-for-procreation with a bill called œNo Child, No Behind. It's a dopey mix of overbroad sexual and racial politics, but the sisters still manage to sizzle—and elicit smiles with their insatiable appetites for love, social justice and the sex trade.

Review

"The sisters still manage to sizzle-and elicit smiles with their insatiable appetites for love, social justice and the sex trade." (Publishers Weekly )

"Sexual Healing is a wild, sexy ride...a fearless look at what women want, and a fresh take on how they can get it ...You'll emerge refreshed and invigorated, in body, mind, and soul." (--E. Lynn Harris, A Love of My Own and Any Way the Wind Blows )

"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, What Looks Like Crazy On An Ordinary Day and I Wish I Had A Red Dress --Pearl Cleage, What Looks Like Crazy On An Ordinary Day and I Wish I Had A Red Dress --Pearl Cleage, What Looks Like Crazy On An Ordinary Day and I Wish I Had A Red )

"Let's Get It On is imbued with a complex narrative that involves the mob and politics. . . . In terms of life about the yacht, let's just say Nelson spins a super sexy yarn just in time for summer." (AOL Black Voices )

"With its sex-positive message and unapologetic emphasis on female enjoyment, Nelson's latest makes for a zingy beach read." (Kirkus Reviews )

"A hot summer read from the sizzling social commentator and author of Volunteer Slavery and Sexual Healing." (Ebony )

"Jill Nelson tells it like it is. . . . And while the novel lives up to its name, at its core this is the story of friends having one another's backs." (Essence )

"As a social commentator, [Nelson's] pretty fearless. She also knows how to construct a compelling narrative. Happily, she scraps neither of these talents as a novelist." (New York Times Book Review )

4.0 out of 5 stars Well Now!, June 25, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Let's Get it On by Jill Nelson is the long-awaited sequel to Sexual Healing. LaShawanda Pierce, one of the owners of A Sister's Spa, has just won a lawsuit and a considerable amount of money. Immediately she decides it is time to open another spa, but this time in a boat off Martha's Vineyard. It is pretty easy to convince her partners, Acey Allen and Lydia Beaucoup. However, there is a problem. A Sister's Spa is located in Las Vegas and provides sex for pay for women. On the other hand, sex for sale is illegal outside of Las Vegas. Of course, that will not stop the women from going forth. It will simply force them to become more savvy.

Let's Get it On is filled with sex, sex and more sex. However, what I found most interesting were the back stories. One, in particular, is a political effort by the president to enact a program called, No Child, No Behind. The premise is that sex should be for procreation and not recreation, thus no child, no behind. Of course, that creates a problem for the proprietors of A Sister's Spa. And while I found myself laughing out loud at the concept, I also found myself thinking about it. Ms. Nelson does a wonderful job of providing us with a fun, summer book that will make us think at the same time it entertains. I recommend Let's Get It On to all who enjoy sexy, funny, well-written books with empowered women.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Summer Read! Worth the Wait!, June 15, 2009
By Denise Bolds "Lion Who Reads A Lot!" (New York United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Ms. Nelson delivers in Marvin Gaye's Song titled second book. Acey, Wanda & Lydia are at it again! This time the setting turns to Martha's Vineyard and the Black community that exists there. This story will have you laughing out loud if you dare to read this book in public - as I did. Can politics get a ridiculous as "NO CHILD - NO BEHIND"? I bet it could.
What do I love most about Ms. Nelson besides the wonderful humor she has and the toe curling sex that she tastefully writes? I love the way Ms. Nelosn delivers the message about women: We can be strong, successful and we can also unify and celebrate our sexuality. Women want to be satisified sexually too! There is a constant message of empowerment throughout this story. Thank you Ms. Nelson!

4.0 out of 5 stars upbeat message, June 6, 2009
After the success of their Reno brothel and spa (see SEXUAL HEALING) LaShaWanda P. Marshall, Lydia Beaucoup and Acey Allen decide to duplicate their achievement off of Martha's Vineyard. Once again they offer their wealthy female clients "multiorgasmic" sex without the complications". While Acey with Odell assisting her runs the Nevada spa, they set up a luxury floating spa on a yacht off the Cape Cod shore just outside the United States legal limit.

They turn to the black community of Lydia's upper class society godmother Ma Nicol for support as they run into objections from a mobster who demands a piece of the action and groups fostering racism and sexism. Their star performer is Afrodonis who make the ladies salivate. However, making matters even worse is the fundamentalist president calling for a law "No Child, No Behind" that outlaws sex unless a married couple tries to produce an offspring.

The second homage to Marvin Gaye continues Jill Nelson's upbeat message encouraging women to appreciate life by living and loving to the fullest to include seeking sexual satisfaction. The story line is over the top of Afrodonis' staff just the way we like it as LET'S GET IT ON is fun to read with its refrain of sex, sex, and more sex. Although the abstinence crowd will beat the bushes to ban this tale, Ms. Nelson makes a case that sex and politics share the same key element: someone is screwing someone else.
