A Reliable Wife reads like classic literature and is filled with sex references. Completely excessive.  Story itself had makings of something juicy but I was kinda bored in the execution.  No big wows that you didn't see coming from half a mile away.  Ralph, what is wrong with him.  He seems slow and hard up for a woman.  This book reminds me of Original Sin movie.  Overall, I was not pleased with this book.
