Reviews & Praise for Private Acts
“The dialogue and the sex scenes are the real strength of this novel. The descriptive nature of some the scenes will make you feel as though you’re watching a video from a website such as tubev, not reading a book. Whether it’s sex with a friend’s wife, sex in the attic or sexual one-upmanship, the sex is breathless, steamy and graphic. The dialogue is clever and real.”
LOS ANGELES TIMES
“’Thirty something’ with sex…very intelligent, very sensitive, very skillful.”
BOSTON SUNDAY GLOBE
“Linda Gray Sexton’s novels are getting a reputation for creative, high-voltage sexuality, and Private Acts is no exception…There’s no denying that instant reality of life problems her three women encounter.”
NORFOLK PILOT
“A rich erotic brew of the lust for money and power, Manhattan style.”
IRIS RAINER DART, AUTHOR OF BEACHES
“Literate, timely, drama!”
BOOKLIST
“A time capsule…exact and explicit…Although she never mitigates her characters’ lifestyle, Sexton portrays them with mordant skill, capturing their thoughts and voices in serve-return dialogue that reflects the stresses of their fast track lives.”
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
“A snappy, entertaining read.”
KIRKUS REVIEWS
“Guilt, betrayal, and sexual awakening in the manicured wild of Wall Street and Westchester!”
