Readers who loved Eric Wilde in I Brake for Bad Boys will adore meeting his gorgeous brother Steve in this red-hot read from USA Today-bestselling author Janelle Denison.

NO SOSPECHABAN QUE TRABAJAR DURANTE LAS VACACIONES PODRÍA SER TAN PLACENTERO Los ejecutivos de publicidad Matt Davidson y Jilly Taylor tenían dos cosas en común: ambos odiaban perder y se deseaban el uno al otro. Pero ninguno de los dos estaba dispuesto a arriesgar el ascenso por rendirse a la atracción que sentían. No contaban con que su jefe les encargara llevar la misma cuenta… y dormir en el mismo hotel. Aquello estaba al rojo vivo, tanto laboral como sentimentalmente, y pronto se dieron cuenta de que no podían centrarse en el trabajo… <

Most of us take for granted the features of our modern society, from air travel and telecommunications to literacy and obesity. Yet for nearly all of its six million years of existence, human society had none of these things. While the gulf that divides us from our primitive ancestors may seem unbridgeably wide, we can glimpse much of our former lifestyle in those largely traditional societies still or recently in existence. Societies like those of the New Guinea Highlanders remind us that it was only yesterday—in evolutionary time—when everything changed and that we moderns still possess bodies and social practices often better adapted to traditional than to modern conditions.

This is Jared Diamond’s most personal book to date, as he draws extensively from his decades of field work in the Pacific islands, as well as evidence from Inuit, Amazonian Indians, Kalahari San people, and others. Diamond doesn’t romanticize traditional societies—after all, we are shocked by some of their practices—but he finds that their solutions to universal human problems such as child rearing, elder care, dispute resolution, risk, and physical fitness have much to teach us. A characteristically provocative, enlightening, and entertaining book, will be essential and delightful reading.

“Why is Sex Fun? is the best book on the subject I've read. This lively exploration of our sexual heritage offers fascinating reading for anyone curious about why lovers do what they do.”

— Diane Ackerman, author of

“I am so jealous of Jared Diamond, for he writes with such an elegant simplicity! Here, he takes a loot at the endlessly fascinating topic of human sexuality His convincing arguments should persuade xm that there are very special reasons why we evolved to use sex for recreation as well as for procreatim whereas most other mammals are denied that pleasure…. It is a great little book, by one of the worlds foremost biological philosophers.”

— Roger Shohl, Professor of Physiology Monash University Australia

“Once again Jared Diamond provides us with answers to questions we may never have stopped to ask, but wish we had. In this long essay Diamond explains that recreational sex, while not unique to humans, is a rare behavior in the animal world. Above all, we learn, sexual activity divorced fron procreation is not only part of what it is to be human, but the very crux of our evolutionary success.”
