The Other Side of the Pillow: A Novel
From the New York Times bestselling Queen of Erotica comes a novel about a testy love affair between a woman who’s had enough and a man who’s had it all.
Jemistry Daniels, the beautiful, intelligent, six-figures-a-year high school principal, suffered through one bad relationship after another. No wonder she adopted the “friends with benefits” mentality when it came to men. For Jemistry, there was to be no “catching feelings.” Her biggest mistake would be to open her heart again.
When Dr. Tevin Harris meets Jemistry at a poetry reading in a café, he knows from her confessional writing that her past with men has been difficult. The prominent vascular surgeon, who has been only casually dating for years, is attracted to the embittered Jemistry nonetheless. With a little persistence, Tevin convinces Jemistry to go out with him. She has baggage, but so does he. What about his divorce?
Despite their respective pasts, Jemistry and Tevin’s chemistry is right and the relationship takes off, but not without bumps in the road. When Jemistry encounters her new beau in a compromising position with her bisexual best friend, what follows is an intense, sensuous, and unforgettable drama with surprises around every turn.

This book focused on realistic relationship issues. You follow a woman who’s been hurt so many times before that she finds it hard to settle down with a man who truly loves her. She doesn’t even believe the love is real at first which keeps her closed off. Then you follow a man who’s seen first hand what being unfaithful can lead to and decides to be a loyal partner. He goes through his own troubles, but loves unconditionally anyway. Both their worlds come crumbling down when jealousy is mixed in leaving both parties hurting, but in the end love prevails. I gave this 3 stars because I was always waiting for the climax that never came.
