Elle Sheffield can barely pay the rent on her one bedroom
Upper East Side apartment. Her life has been difficult
lately and her most dependable companion is powered by AA
batteries. Unfortunately, after 10 years of loyal
service, "Mr. Bunny" breaks down for good, leaving Elle
quite frustrated.
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.
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.
