The Secrets of Married Women - Carol Mason ... - until they discover that it's Rob's fault they can't have kids. It isn't the end of the world for Jill. She's just happy to have a trustworthy husband who loves her deeply and presses all the right buttons in the bedroom. But Rob's gone off sex and refuses even to discuss it. In fact, all communication between them has come to an infuriating halt. And Jill just yearns for a bit of fun. It wouldn't be so bad if one of her best friends wasn't having the best sex of her entire life (albeit behind her husband's back) while her other friend has a stunning husband who she's still in lust with. But are things ever what they seem? How well do we ever know our husbands, our best friends or even ourselves? Jill is about to find out when she faces infertility, infidelity and the truth head on.

... struggled through it, but it took me a good week, during which several other books were started and finished with much more ease. The writing didn't flow in the way I'm used to, and now tend to expect, and the analogies and phrasing ranged from dubious to cheesy: "Wendy pushes him ahead and her lovely big bum in its tight pants seems to fold in smiling, self-satisfied creases."

Based on the title, I was expecting something along the lines of Desperate Housewives - witty, funny, a bit far fetched at times, but generally a light hearted look at married life.
