The other 70 percent sometimes, rarely, or never orgasm with intercourse, and they’re all healthy and normal.” I mean COME ON! In reality, about 30 percent of women orgasm reliably with intercourse. ![]() ![]() “For instance, it was just sort of assumed that since men have orgasms during penis-in-vagina sex (intercourse), women should have orgasms with intercourse too, and if they don’t, it’s because they’re broken. “For a long time in Western science and medicine, women’s sexuality was viewed as Men’s Sexuality Lite - basically the same but not quite as good,” she writes.

While the first 60% of the story was a solid 5 stars read, I had minor disappointments with the last 40%.įor example, I wasn’t thrilled with Gabriel telling Pandora about his former lover, a married woman able to satisfy his “dark desire” that turns out to be some very light bondage. Pandora’s board game invention and business plan is based on a real historical figure, a woman that invented the precursor to Monoply in 1903. I love her humorous writing and the way she adds important historical events and discoveries woven into her stories. So yes…in my opinion this is not the best novel she has written so far but I enjoyed it all the same. In historical novels I enjoy things I often hate in other genres and Lisa Kleypas is one of the very VERY few authors capable of that “magic”.Įven the sudden conspiracy at ~80% into the book didn’t steer me far from giving this book a high rating. ![]() Thus begins their journey packed with witty dialogues, memorable characters and a dangerous conspiracy that will keep you entertained all the way through!
