Dead Sexy

In Kathy Lette's wicked comic novel Dead Sexy, Shelly, a comely music teacher, swoons unexpectedly for Kit Kincaid, the roughneck American Adonis she's matched with on a British reality show. Tickled by Kit's sexual prowess, Shelly impulsively agrees to marry and cohabit with him before a TV audience in return for the promise of hot sex and L100,000. But once on the tropical beaches of Reunion Island, the honeymooning newlyweds lock horns in a battle of the sexes, surrounded by nationalist militants, ex-wives and a suspect television crew. .
