For fans of FIFTY SHADES OF GREY; the author of sensational bestseller THE BRIDE STRIPPED BARE returns with a powerful tale of marriage and desire.

Smothered by marriage and family, a woman feels life slipping through her fingers. She becomes preoccupied with thoughts of her early education in love at the hands of Tol, a man like no other she has known. Memories of the affair – Tol’s appetite for her pleasure and her trusting desire – consume her. But the mysterious end to their intimacy left her confused and unwilling to love again with all her heart. Discovering the woman she once was is an erotic journey back into the past and an exploration of reawakened passion.

Review:

Praise for ‘The Bride Stripped Bare’:

'Starkly explicit...richly descriptive with a fast-paced narrative' Sunday Telegraph

'Nikki Gemmel's prose has a wonderful sensuousness...witty...a subtle portrait of a modern and rather alienating marriage' Lisa Appignanesi, Independent Magazine

'Must read...A tale of sexual awakening for the dark horse in all of us' Tatler

‘The sex is well-written...Gemmell is refreshingly straightforward about the act' Melanie McGrath, Evening Standard

'Easy to read, hard to put down. Keep an extinguisher handy' Closer

'A page-turner' Evening Standard

'A bored housewife embarks on a life of sexual pleasure...The sex is rude and raunchy and "exactly where you want it"' Elle

'Personal dilemmas are bravely explored; thoughts and fantasies about sex and infidelity, which most women have learned to keep to themselves, are laid bare on the page in all their shocking glory...brutal, brilliant and addictive' Glasgow Herald

From the Back Cover:

A wife, a mother of three, she has everything a woman should want--and yet she has gone numb inside. Locked in a never-ending cycle of chores, errands, and mealtimes, she cannot find a way to live her life with the honesty and passion that once drove her. Even her husband, whom she loves, has never truly touched the core of her being. Only one person has ever come close. In desperation, she returns to the memory of an old love affair--a transformative relationship with consequences she has never fully resolved. Revisiting her past, she will begin an exhilarating journey into her sexuality while finally confronting the hidden truths of her heart.

Exquisitely lyrical, bold, and seductive, With My Body is a thought-provoking exploration of family, sex, marriage, and love--the love we give, withhold, and surrender to.
