Product Description

After a detective makes love to his client, she tries to get him to kill her husband. The detective declines, but agrees to continue trailing the husband. Unfortunately, once the detective follows the husband on a business trip to Florida, he finds himself being drawn into the husband's web -- and craving a new power, which can only be gotten through sex.

The Raw Essentials of Human Sexuality begins with a detective making love to his young, beautiful, client. A month earlier, she had hired him to trail her husband, but they had quickly become lovers. When the client asks him to kill her husband, the detective begins to realize the wife was using him: trying to get him to commit an act where she would be the only beneficiary. The detective declines her offer, but when she proposes to double his fee if he continues trailing the husband, he agrees. It seems like a simple enough proposition, but when he follows the husband on a business trip to Florida, his simple plan becomes more complicated when he and the husband actually sit down to talk. The husband tells him a story, about his youth in the South, and the detective finds himself remembering a horror story his mother used to tell him -- about their kin fleeing from their demonic master the day the Union won the Civil War. Instinctively terrified, the detective runs from the husband. Just when he thinks he has escaped, a creature appears out of nowhere. He finds himself being devoured by darkness; and in the morning, he awakes feeling drained. When he looks in the mirror, it is as if years have passed. He looks old. To get back his youth, he finds he must submit himself to the husband's will. He follows along for a while, but when the husband tells him to kill the wife, and the detective finds himself in the same place he had started. To reclaim his soul, he must navigate the various demands and threats -- and the tightening noose of the law.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book should have a different title!, December 17, 2009
It wasn't what i expected at all. I didn't care for the demonic or afterlife parts. When I first started reading, I thought it was going to be very exciting until the changes in FL. I didn't like how it ended either. This was my first purchase without reading the reviews.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Expected At All, July 1, 2009
By K. Augustine (Southern California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Well I guess I should have read the back cover, right? I was reading the other two books in this set of 3 Strebor Quickiez and I figured this one had to be great as well. . . well it wasn't. I don't see why Zane let this book in her group of Quickiez, this book should be in Si-Fi or something. I am not really for all the demon, possessed, supernatural, scary, unknown, ghost, coming back to life type of thing. I honestly don't even see how the title relates to the contents of the book at all, it was not at all what I was expecting. Welp, like the other two reviews say Morton is a private eye. He is hired by this young golddigging African American woman suspects that her old rich Caucasian husband is cheating. Once Morton tells her he isn't, she asks him to kill her husband. Meanwhile, Morton ends up talking to the husband while trailing him and soon enough the old man asks Morton to kill the wife. Some freaky demonic unexplainable stuff happens, like sucking the life out of people by having sex with them oh and it all relates back to slavery on the old mans plantation. I wouldn't recommend this book unless you are remotely interested in the paranormal. It ends abruptly as well leaving unanswered questions. Good luck with this one. The ONLY good book I have read that I've liked with this Si-Fi kinda theme was "The Enchantress" by Allison Hobbs, it relates back to slavery as well but her book is AWESOME!

4.0 out of 5 stars Dark and Refreshing, April 8, 2009
By The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews
Morton is a private investigator working on a case involving a young wife who thinks her much older husband is cheating on her. When Morton can find no incriminating evidence to support her cause, she asks him to kill her husband. Not only does he find the request unbelievable, he also has to deal with the fact he has slept with his client who probably did so in order for him to do her bidding. Of course Morton turns her down, but agrees to continue to follow the husband. However, after meeting him he finds himself enthralled with the man, and then the adventure begins. Morton's life takes on an unbelievable quality and will be forever changed.

THE RAW ESSENTIALS OF HUMAN SEXUALITY is a short story that grabs your attention from the very beginning. The plot and pacing are riveting, and the storyline so unbelievable that it becomes plausible. The novel is a mix of paranormal, darkness, history, sexuality and pure evil, so much so, one is amazed so much could happen in a short number of pages. The brevity of the pages takes nothing away from this captivating story because of Bernard's descriptions and his ability to put the reader right in the middle of the action. He is able to make one's heart beat faster as they are propelled into the erotic and darkness that Morton experiences and you will still think about the metaphoric message of the story long after the book is closed.
