What Is The Taboo Show?
Four women walk into The Taboo Sex Show—and walk out forever changed.
Isabella, a part-time sex columnist and full-time mom, writes about pleasure but can’t find it in her own marriage. Amy, a confident, sex-positive professor, preaches empowerment yet can’t stop chasing empty hook-ups. Claire, a powerhouse lawyer who dominates in the courtroom, freezes when it’s time to surrender in the bedroom. And Jeanette, a devout Christian, watches her marriage crumble under secrets she can no longer pray away.
When Isabella finds herself tied up — onstage, and on display — it sparks a revolution inside her. A psychic’s warning pushes Amy into the seductive world of BDSM. A chance encounter with a Tantra practitioner challenges Claire to open her heart as much as her body. And as Jeanette’s faith and desire awaken, she faces an impossible choice: stay trapped in her marriage or finally choose herself.
The Taboo Show is the bold, breathtaking sequel to Dr. Trina Read’s award-winning novel The Sex Course. Together, these books create the world’s first self-help fiction—a delicious blend of women’s fiction, raw honesty, and practical insight into real-life pleasure and empowerment.
This story will make you laugh, blush, and think differently about what it means to be a woman who wants something different. It’s a celebration of friendship, reinvention, and the courage to walk through the door marked taboo—and find freedom on the other side.
Perfect for fans of Nine Perfect Strangers, Grown Ups, and Eat, Pray, Love—but braver, bolder, and unapologetically sexier—The Taboo Show is a love letter to every woman who’s ever asked herself, "Am I allowed to want more?"

This Isn't Just a Book ... It's a Whole Sexy Universe
The Sex Course
Award Winning Self-Help-Fiction
Isabella’s sex column is wildly popular. Her sexless marriage? Not so much.
With a looming deadline and zero desire, she enrolls in a university sex course, hoping to fix her libido — or at least her column.
Instead, she's thrown into a group from hell. Claire is tired of faking it and wonders if sex can ever be more than just meh. Amy loves sex but is a dating disaster. And Jeanette? No one can figure out why she's there. Including Jeanette.
The Sex Course helps women understand her sexuality in a cheeky, irreverent, non-self-help'y way. It shows (not tells) women how to create a deeply meaningful and soul-quenching sex life.

You. Me. Bed. NOW!
American Book Fest Award Winner!
The award-winning workbook that turns "we should talk about this" into actual, satisfying sex.
You. Me. Bed. NOW! is a playful, no-fluff, five-step program designed to help couples stop circling the problem — and start enjoying each other again.
You’ll uncover why you’re having sex (or avoiding it), what’s quietly killing desire, what you actually want now (not five years ago), and—finally—how to ask for it without making things weird. Then comes the part most people miss: learning how to actually receive the pleasure you asked for.
Smart, practical, and refreshingly honest, this workbook is the perfect companion to The Sex Course and The Taboo Show — for readers who don’t just want to feel inspired … they want results.

Frequently asked questions
You've got questions. We've got answers.
Is The Taboo Show explicit?
It’s intimate, not instructional. The sex scenes exist to reveal character, tension, and change, not to teach techniques or shock for sport. Some moments are tender, some are awkward, some are surprising. If your group can talk honestly about relationships and desire, you’ll be just fine.
Is The Taboo Show a self-help book or a novel?
It’s a novel first. You follow four women through real decisions, missteps, and moments of clarity. Readers often say they finish the book feeling like they learned something about themselves, without ever feeling preached at or assigned homework.
Why does The Taboo Show work well for book clubs?
Because no one agrees on everything. Each woman’s choices invite opinion, empathy, and debate. The book opens conversations about intimacy, friendship, and reinvention that feel personal but never require anyone to disclose more than they want to. It gives groups plenty to talk about, and just enough mischief to keep things lively.
