| After seven years of marriage it seems that the farthest thing from Liza’s husband Greg’s mind is pulling her hair as he sends her over the edge. There are no more toe-curling kisses, spankings, or the wild sex they used to have. Now she’s resigned herself to his mechanical lovemaking whenever Greg gets an itch that he can’t scratch himself. When Liza decides that she’s had enough and it’s time for a change, she cuts off her hair only to have him not even notice. She’s determined to figure out to what happened to the love they shared when they first married. Greg realizes that he doesn’t really know the woman he wakes up to every morning. He misses the kisses and sex they used to have, but a call from someone from his wife’s past proves that he doesn’t really know Liza anymore. Can Liza and Greg work through the lies and find the love they’ve lost or is their marriage already over?
Liza first appeared in Ms. Terry’s Design of a Lifetime and now in Pull My Hair we learn a little more about what makes this outspoken woman tick. Unfortunately, we also learn that she’s not yet worked through some events in her past that are harming the relationship she has with her husband today. Liza is the epitome of a strong woman and has worked hard to have everything she has today. One of Greg’s only faults is that he loves Liza to distraction, but that love has pushed him to do things that actually drive the love of his life away. The sex between Liza and Greg is sizzling and gets the reader hot and bothered in a matter of sentences, but with many of their encounters immediately followed by arguments, your heavy breathing subsides pretty quickly. While I found the conflict between the characters believable I had some difficulty accepting the quick resolution towards the end of the story. This is a story of rediscovery and growth that shows sometimes the greatest things are worth working for and sometimes the greatest loves meet a few bumps in the road of life.
