The Raw Essentials of Human Sexuality

by D.V. Bernard, David Valentine Bernard

A detective takes what seems like an easy job to catch a cheating husband but he finds much more as he is drawn into the husband’s web—and craves a new power that can only be achieved through sex.

The story begins with a detective making love to his young, beautiful client. A month earlier, she had hired him to trail her husband, but they quickly became lovers. When the client asks him to kill her husband, the detective quickly realizes that he had been used—seducing him was only a step in her plan to end her husband’s life. 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 complicated when he and the husband sit down to talk. But the complications don’t stop there. Through a strange turn of events, the detective finds himself trapped by the husband and the only chance for freedom is the very act the detective wanted to he must kill the husband’s wife.

Full of suspense and intrigue, The Raw Essentials of Human Sexuality reveals that there is much more beneath the surface of these marital problems—lives are at stake for the sake of power and sex.

Strange short story. Nothing is as it seems.

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!
