From Library Journal Fans of Days of Our Lives will immediately recognize Darbo, better known as the full-figured, sensual Nancy Wesley on that show. Voted one of TV Guide's sexiest women in 1999, Darbo has taken this honor too seriously. Her book begins as an autobiography but switches to a manual on how to be sexy every day. Readers expecting her life story will not find it here. Life experiences are sprinkled throughout, but the text focuses on how to be sexually pleased and pleasing. Though Darbo writes sensitively and in a personal style that is easy to read, even her biggest fans may quickly lose interest. They may also bridle at her advice, which can be archaic, e.g., "a finger to your lips, a gentle stroke to the bottom lip while dreamily thinking about an answer to a question, is very sensual." Ultimately, this is entertaining but insubstantial; had Darbo provided some backstage gossip, she would have had a best seller. Purchase only where there is interest.
