    /24-7PressRelease/ - SAN ANTONIO, TX, August 15, 2006 - This true story of one woman's sexual reawakening puts an end to the "No sex, please— we're British" myth. Whether enjoying an afternoon sex romp in a London health spa "sauna," a casual encounter in a fashionable Soho club, or a parking garage quickie in the back seat of a convertible, Suzanne Portnoy proves there is indeed plenty of sex to be had in England. And anywhere else she finds herself.

After losing her virginity to a stagehand she meets on a high school field trip to a theater, Suzanne takes up with a succession of lovers, from punk rockers to college boys to personal-ad Romeos, before settling down with a dashing man who turns out to be more interested in his career than in sex. Ten frustrating years later, a chance meeting with an American 3,000 miles away dooms her marriage, but helps Suzanne regain her confidence—and sparks a journey of self-discovery that is anything but typical.

Suzanne Portnoy has been a publicist and director of a PR company for twelve years, working with some of the biggest clients in the entertainment industry. Divorced with two teenage boys, she grew up in New York and now lives in London. Saucy, attractive, and finally her dream size 8 after 20 years of indifferent dieting, she is happily single and enjoys putting her new body to use on her kids-free weekends.
