A. Brainy and beautiful feature writer Hanna Coleman has a wonderful idea for an article that will explore—and maybe solve—the great Manhattan man shortage: two women should share one man. But her good-looking boss at the glossy Urban Life magazine will publish it only if she writes the story from personal experience. So Hanna agrees and recruits their boyfriend, Guy and her luscious-looking, very best girlfriend, Mahelly, for research and development. And just what happens when two gorgeous women love and sex share one very handsome, considerate, level-headed, emotional, marriageable, and outrageously good-in-bed man? Find out—in the most deliciously uninhibited adventure since Eve invented Adam to bite off more than he could chew….
B. Hanna Coleman is the fashion editor at trendy Urban Life magazine. No longer content with chronicling the rise and fall of hemlines, she devises a plan to get her name off the fashion page and onto the cover. Hanna proposes an article on “mansharing” to answer the shortage of eligible men in Manhattan. David Stein, her sexy boss, agrees with the idea on one condition: that she writes the story from her own experience. So Hanna, happily attached to a wonderful man for the first time in her life, must share him with another woman—and 4 million readers. Realizing that the only woman she can trust with this experiment is her closest friend, Mahelly, she ignores an obvious complication: recently, out of a frustrating 14-year marriage, Mahelly is too ready for sex and too vulnerable to handle it without commitment. What started as Hanna’s creative fantasy now becomes an unmanageable reality threatening love, friendship, and careers. Set in advertising, publishing, and the New York dating-go-round, Manshare is a highly entertaining, modern novel about people traveling so fast they almost miss their human connections.
