“A caviar and foie gras freefall of uninhibited, delicious and tantalizing sex.”--Toronto Globe.Not Since Henry Miller has a book about sex caused such a furor. A National Best Seller, Gael Greene’s Blue Skies, No Candy was greeted in 1976 with shock and outrage by male critics and was championed by women. Ads for the daring paperback were banned from New York City’s subways. But it has continued to be an underground classic of erotica decades after going out of print.“Bed is where I’m making it these days…” Thus begins the witty and utterly uninhibited confessions of Kate Alexander. Kate is a woman who has everything: professional success as a screenwriter, adoring husband, well-balanced offspring…all the ridiculous, delicious trappings of celebrity in Manhattan. But the panic of turning 40 and the struggle to stay at the top in a profession where there are few women have eroded her confidence. The one place she feels comfortable is…bed. Behind the devotion she feels for her husband Jamie is a hurricane of sexual energy. Her afternoons are devoted to acting out erotic fantasies that crowd her head. None of this must ever threaten her life with Jamie. But then she meets Jason the urbane Texan who is her match, the man who knows Kate better than she knows herself. Their odyssey through the truffle fields of France, as Kate dares every carnal risk, escalates into what could be love…or just sexual obsession. “Blue Skies has brought a new dimension to erotica,” – The Stars and Stripes“Refreshing. Sex games are laid out with a candor that must be some sort of milestone in erotic writing by women.” – Erica Abeel, Newsday“Of course it’s sexy but it’s also very funny and very human.” – Judy Feiffer“It’s new and fun to read an erotic book written by a woman about a woman who takes extraordinary joy in sex.” – Betty Friedan"A super talented writer has taken a completely original voyage into the lushness of a woman’s sexual longings. I think of Greene as a contemporary Colette.” – Ruth Harris, author of Decades“How in the world were they able to print Blue Skies, No Candy, without special paper that resists Fahrenheit 451 [the burning point of paper]? This sizzling sexual odyssey elevates Ms. Greene from her place at the head of the food writing list into the Erica Jong pantheon of sexually liberated fictionalists.” – Liz Smith, New York Daily News“Effective, witty, readable..a classic of its kind.” – Cosmopolitan.“Funny,scarifyingly witty…it has verve, speed, wisecracks.” – Vogue“A menu of erotica.”—Oakland Press“I use it all the time.” – Anonymous.Gael Greene was New York magazine’s Insatiable Critic for 40 years. She has published seven books, including two erotic novels and Delicious Sex: A Guide for Women and Men Who Want to Love Them Better, also available as an ebook. Insatiable: Tales from a Life of Delicious Excess, her memoir, is available in bookstores and online. Blue Skies, No Candy was an alternate selection of The Literary Guild, Doubleday Book Club and Contempo Book Club.

With her passion for fine food and, above all, her appetite for love and life, Gael Greene traces her rise from a Velveeta cocoon in the Midwest to powerful critic of New York magazine. Love and food, foreplay and fork play, haute cuisine and social history--all become inextricably linked as the author lifts the lid on her most provocative subject yet--herself. Along the way there are tales of her saucy erotic adventures and intimate portraits of the culinary icons of our time--Julia Child, André Soltner, James Beard, among others--and revealing dissections of New York's legendary "in" spots, including Elaine's, Le Bernardin, Le Cirque, Odeon, and Balthazar.

"A very funny and touching book with great dollops of erotica, nostalgia, hilarity and a surprising, sweet literary lilt."Liz Smith, New York Daily News"Whether writing about food or sex, Gael Greene is delicious."Dan Greenburg, author of Love Kills and Exes"Greene succeeds beyond all reasonable expectations at realistically depicting many of the dilemmas a man finds on the threshold of his middle years. Though a bit tart in spots, Doctor Love is a cream-filled confection."Beaufort Cranford, Detroit NewsDoctor LoveGael Greene's Most Daring Erotic NovelNow Available In 30th Anniversary Digital EditionWhat do men really want? And how much of it do they want all the time? The author of the landmark erotic classic Blue Skies, No Candy returns with a steamy and moving novel as serious and funny as life itself.Dr. Barney Kincaid M.D. loves women. He loves loving women. Everything he knows about himself, he has learned from women. A brilliant doctor, pioneer in emergency medicine, irascible hospital watchdog, loving father and ambivalently devoted only son, Barney is newly divorced at 42. Now, Barney is caught up in the drama of high-risk medicine and the carnal joys of his glorious second adolescence. Yet Dr. Barney Kinkaid is a great lover who has never been in love.Ecstatically, he divides his time between Debra, his irrepressible playmate-in-kinkiness, and Lindsay, the wholesome, cotton-pantied woman of his dreams. But when Barney is suddenly forced to confront his own mortality, the shock sends him on a voyage into his erotic past and a frenetic odyssey that almost destroys his career.A national best seller, Doctor Love was greeted in 1982 with outrage and disbelief from some critics and cries of recognition and praise from others for Greene's uncanny ability to write through the eyes of a man. Three decades later, it remains a landmark of erotic fiction and feminist literary triumph.
