While shopping for a new pink plastic bunny vibrator, Elle runs into Leah Weber, her old high school rival. Elle is desperate for publicity for her struggling Life Coach business, so she finds herself spending more time with Leah, who claims to have connections at The New York Times. Leah's good intentions may prove false, but Elle will risk everything so she can finally put what happened in high school behind her. To further complicate matters, Elle still hasn't been able to afford a new vibrator. Is finding a real man to satisfy her needs even worth the hassle?
This coming of age story may take place when Elle is almost 40, but everyone will relate to the insecurities from her youth and her embarrassment about her family. Ms. O'Reilly's characters talk about vibrators without giving a particular endorsement, but from her descriptions, Elle would probably recommend the Hitachi Magic Wand, the Wahl, or the Rabbit Habit, all available online from Toys in Babeland. As a life coach, Elle has her flaws, but her heart is in the right place at the end of this enjoyable romantic comedy.
Book Summary
Her ideal lover is reliable, silent, and always leaves her satisfied...
Elle Sheffield wasn't always Elle Sheffield, life coach. Elle Sheffield used to be Elle Shields, with a painful high school past, a traumatic family secret, and a go-nowhere tech support career. Now she's re-created herself and found her true calling: guiding women to overcome their obstacles and fulfill their dreams. And speaking of fulfillment, Elle gets hers from her trusty, battery-operated companion. We'll call him Mr. Goodbunny.
...until his little engine goes kaput.
But what's a girl to do when her vibrator's on the blink and her life is spiraling out of control? A shot at a profile in The New York Times may be just what she needs to jump-start her business, but it's her sex life that really needs resuscitation. Is it possible there's more to satisfaction than her solitary trysts with Mr. Goodbunny? Though it may mean taking a chance on a real flesh-and- blood male, Elle is about to discover that when it comes to true happiness, there is no substitute.
