Putting the sizzle back in married life.

Sarah's humdrum existence as a busy mother is far from exciting, but her husband's wild plan may just bring some adventure (and extra money) back into their lives.

Despite her initial reservations, Sarah eventually warms up to Drew’s idea of a spicy side hustle, but can they keep their private project from becoming public knowledge?

As rumours and gossip spread throughout Drew's office and the school PTA, the couple are forced to navigate the challenges of their fledgling endeavour whilst avoiding becoming social outcasts.

Follow Sarah and Drew on their hare-brained escapades, and enjoy genuine laugh-out-loud moments, alongside tender heart-warming demonstrations of true love.

A Novel Marriage is a charming and humorous romantic comedy filled with endearing characters and dry British humour. Perfect for those that enjoy the humour of real life.

I gave it three stars because it was a bit slow for me, in the beginning. I think that these two should've gotten divorced honestly because they argued so damn much, but I don't have kids so maybe that's normal?? 😭 Idk their relationship seemed so unhealthy that I didn't really laugh, I cringed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique!
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2020
This was a unique experience where writing erotic novels comes into play. Ordinarily, we read about a woman who is taking that venture on, but in this case, it’s a man who takes those steps! With that comes an interesting collaboration between Drew and Sarah, when the normal response would be to shy away from racy or sexual things from one or both partners.

When the couple takes it on, they go full force, and in doing so they find out a lot about one another. I appreciated that lens, because much of the focus leading up to that has been on what has been the contributing factor on the distance in their marriage. It’s understandable, considering how much they have going on, how both feel neglected, that there isn’t enough time in the day to do it all. Plenty of parents and couples can relate to their situation, and can find a lot of similarities in how Sarah feels as a stay at home mother, trying to keep her head above water while feeling compared to the “perfect” mothers in her world. (There’s one in particular, and those exchanges are pretty funny) There’s also Drew’s full-time employment with many stressors on his shoulders, wanting desperately to support his family at all costs. Their writing collaboration feels like a much-needed break from all of it, a ray of unconventional hope.

Through it all, the reader is introduced to hilarious humility for both characters. There were a few particular scenarios, particularly with Sarah at the post office, which really got me going! It was an unexpected situation, but one that really added to the type of chaos that she endures, and even though she doesn’t realize it, she deals with it through a lot of grace. Drew’s office antics with coworkers added a layer of funny sarcasm to the idiot coworker trope, as he often experiences with one guy in particular who acts as a catalyst for Drew in more ways than one. All of it gave way to a lightheartedness that was needed in order to balance out some of the heaviness that comes from life’s monotony.

Given the humor, the truth behind the struggling marriage, and the really unique plot, it was inevitable for me to give Erotic Fiction? five stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, warm and so easy to read. A winner!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 15, 2020

Oh, I really, really enjoyed this book! Being halfway through 1984 by George Orwell, and stuck on a dull bit (sorry George!) I needed a break and wanted to read something light and funny. Having seen a review of this novel on the fabulous Anne Williams’ blog, I thought it sounded like just the thing I was looking for, so I duly downloaded it, and boy was I right to do so.

I loved Sarah and Drew. Their humdrum existence as young parents to two children, with another one on the way, is so realistically portrayed. Forget the organic baby food, the constructive play, the early learning, the environmentally friendly nappies, and all that malarkey. The reality is exhaustion, furry grapes in the snack box (not a euphemism), urine-soaked sheets, an ever-growing wash pile, and spending your last tenner on head lice lotion.

Sarah is worn out, heavily pregnant and coping with two demanding youngsters. Drew is a hard-working husband who commutes every day to his job in IT, copes with the incredibly inept Barry, and is oblivious to the charms and the desires of his boss’s niece, Polly.

Drew thinks he’s doing his best by Sarah, but she’s not impressed that he won’t approach his parents for help in buying a bigger house, and she can’t help but resent the fact that he gets to go out every day and mix with proper grown ups, while the only adult she gets to see on a daily basis is the dreaded Ms Perfect Mother at the school gates.

Money is tight, and when Drew even has to sacrifice his weekly office fry-up, he decides something has to be done. Which is when he comes up with the bright idea of writing an erotic novel. After all, if Naughty Nanny can make a fortune writing her saucy stories, surely he and Sarah can do the same? Except Sarah’s not remotely interested, which means Drew is going to have to attempt to write one for himself, and it turns out he’s not short of ideas.

I won’t give away any more of the plot, but I will say that Erotic Fiction is a fast-paced page-turning read. It’s light and joyous and so addictive I couldn’t put it down. Sarah and Drew are people I could relate to and root for. I loved little George and Eva, recognised the grandparents and their “absolutely adore the grandchildren but only once a month” attitude, and even liked Barry and Polly, despite them causing so much trouble for Drew.

As the book builds to a climax (no pun intended) I was absolutely flying through the text, desperate to know how things would turn out. The office party scene is brilliantly written, and the tension builds beautifully to a really nail-biting finale, which is so well done.

I absolutely loved every moment of the story and I’m so glad I saw Anne’s review, as I might never have picked it up otherwise.

Warm, funny, easy-to-read, with characters I loved and a plot line that was original and appealing, this is a book I would unhesitatingly recommend. Five stars all the way!

So funny and easy to read! Perfect for reading before bed, on a lazy weekend at home or on holiday in the sun. This is a really great feel-good novel about a couple who start to write novels together but of course nothing goes smoothly and there are hiccups and misunderstandings along the way. If you like Sophie Kinsella books or used to be a Frasier fan (on TV) I think you'd love Erotic Fiction.

Sarah is expecting their third baby and Drew is hard working but oblivious to the fact that their home is too cramped and his wife is feeling beaten down by it all. He hits on an idea to make extra money. Eventually she’s on board with it. This leads to some classic comedy, some of which I saw coming but much of which I didn’t. It’s very well observed and is one of those quirky books you know you’ll remember.

This was a perfect book. It was very funny. The family scenes are being played across homes every night. The 'erotic' parts are just as funny and relatable to most couples who've been together a while.
The post office science had me cringing for her but laughing out loud as well.
Can there be a sequel please I want to know how it went down at the school gates....
