About the book
"One day I'm going to touch you in a thousand different ways and show you how to touch me," he said.

And he did.

Struggling with a tormented past, undergraduate Olivia Winter once led a practical but isolated life. Then she met Professor Dean West, a brilliant scholar of medieval history who melted Liv's inhibitions and taught her the meaning of both love and erotic pleasure. But after three years of a blissful, lusty marriage, Liv and Dean now face a crisis that threatens everything they believe about each other...and sex might not be enough to save them.
Brandie's Thoughts:
I've seen this book floating around on Goodreads and it sounds like my kind of book.  But what is making it stand out from all the others is the fact that the story is about a couple who's already been together for awhile.  That is really unusual - and makes me very intrigued to give it a try!

Crystal's Thoughts:
This is very different from anything I have read lately and I am very intrigued.  I know that most marriages go through a lull period and I am very curious to see how Liv and Dean work through it and I want to know what the crisis is.  This book seems more realistic at least from what I can tell from the blurb and I am very much looking forward to reading it!
