Description

A spicy, raucously satiric follow-up to Jill Nelson's bestselling Sexual Healing

In Let's Get It On, a group of savvy friends start what they couldn't find elsewhere—a "full-service spa" that caters to professional women. After opening a wildly successful spa in Reno (which turned the world's oldest profession on its head), Lydia Beaucoup and her friends Acey Allen and LaShaWanda P. Marshall decide to grow their business—with a new spa on a boat moored off the shore at Martha's Vineyard. Just like their Reno operation, this haven for pampering is unique. In addition to massage and reflexology, clients can purchase fabulous, multiorgasmic safe sex from men trained to please women.

But selling sex is never easy. Insatiable clients, mob extortion, and a federal government that wants to ban sex between unmarried people are just a few of the problems that threaten to take down A Sister's Spa on Martha's Vineyard.

Smart, sizzling, and wickedly funny, Let's Get It On is an outrageous tale of three women who push traditional envelopes in pursuit of empowerment, and a witty, forthright look at what women really want.

“Jill Nelson tells it like it is. . . . And while the novel lives up to its name, at its core this is the story of friends having one another’s backs.”
-Essence

“With its sex-positive message and unapologetic emphasis on female enjoyment, Nelson’s latest makes for a zingy beach read.”
-Kirkus Reviews

“Let’s Get It On is imbued with a complex narrative that involves the mob and politics. . . . In terms of life about the yacht, let’s just say Nelson spins a super sexy yarn just in time for summer.”
-AOL Black Voices

“As a social commentator, [Nelson’s] pretty fearless. She also knows how to construct a compelling narrative. Happily, she scraps neither of these talents as a novelist.”
-New York Times Book Review

“A hot summer read from the sizzling social commentator and author of Volunteer Slavery and Sexual Healing.”
-Ebony

“Sexual Healing is a wild, sexy ride...a fearless look at what women want, and a fresh take on how they can get it ...You’ll emerge refreshed and invigorated, in body, mind, and soul.”
