"This book should only be read by people who see women as equal in all things including sex."

The Washington, D.C. Beltway... Pulsating with rich history, teeming with wondrous marshes and woodland creatures. Balance and order peacefully exist in this wildlife adventureland, a stark contrast to its human inhabitants who attempt to navigate mindbending appetites of power, lust, love and greed without being drowned by their adversaries in the Beltway swamp.

Elite personal life coach Alex Gantry leaves Hollywood for the D.C. area, struggling to escape the grip of a suffocating relationship. She meets the somewhat younger and somewhat married environmentalist T.J.

Alex convinces T.J. his team needs a life coach and T.J. convinces Alex to become his lover.

As heat turns to emotion, pasts haunt, secrets threaten, danger bubbles up and bucolic Beltway proves to be a bedlam of unfettered intrigue and desire.

From the Author

"I dropped into fiction from journalism and non-fiction, after a screenwriting contest sponsored by NYWIFT and Meryl Streep in 2015. Jackie Collins, Harold Robbins... Fiction terrified me, so I wanted to have fun. It gets explicit in a few parts of this novel. I had to write this novel to get to where I am today with my thrillers." - Taylor Marsh, 2020

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

My writing adventure began with non-fiction, and my first two traditionally published novels opened doors to exploring the world of words, wisdom, and imagination.

For more than four decades, I have been immersed in the realms of imagination, words, and the cosmic mysteries of life. As a creative master who writes and speaks, I have traversed various entertainment platforms, continually pushing the boundaries of storytelling and expression.

My journey takes me to the intersection of society and culture, politics, and spirituality—a cosmic jockey exploring the profound connections that shape our world. I am passionate about delving into the human mind and examining the subtle intricacies of power in the Aquarian age.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexual Equality Finally Hits its Mark with "Below the Beltway"
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2016
Verified Purchase
Taylor Marsh has finally been honest enough to show us how the modern woman treats sexual equality. We are no longer in the puritanical 20th century with "Below the Beltway" as Ms. Marsh gives us a compelling and honest insight into the thinking of the 21st century's woman's attitudes toward sex. This book should only be read by people who see women as equal in all things including sex. As someone who came of age in the stifling 1950s it was refreshing to read that women are no different from men when it comes to ambition, wanting to carve out a career for themselves, be in control of their own lives and be on an equal footing when it comes to sex. The book is fast paced, and each chapter leaves the reader waiting to find out what happens next. Now Ms. Taylor needs to write the sequel because I have to know what complications Alex gets herself into next.

I enjoyed the plot. But I was disappointed that this was not a stand alone book. I was left hanging at the end of the book. There was not much development of the characters. The love scenes seemed contrived, they didn't flow well for me. I probably won't read the rest of the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beltway, good book to read!
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2016

Below The Beltway was a good book to read. The characters like Alex and TJ are a hot mess. It seems that when Alex closed one chapter of her life to move into another. Her past seem to hunt her and her future tries to destroy her. It seem to me no matter how much you love an individual it would always cost you. Especially, when they refuse to let you go. A good book!

I have been a fan of Taylor Marsh for the last 9 years. Her political blog is terrific and insightful. I am so glad I bought her book. I judge a book by how well I can feel the breeze, taste the food, and feel the steam. It is not just words on a page but a sensual experience. This book delivers. There is a lot of good twists and turns that keep you interested and a lot of hot romance. You get a lot of good flavor of the Belt Way and all the power, sex and money that resides there. Taylor keep writing fiction you have a gift for it!

Cliffhanger, which I did not realize when I purchased. The plot is plodding and the writing a bit amateurish with shifting points of view and off plot lectures on relationships interrupting the flow. Rather odd writing that doesn't flow well. The plot is complicated and was getting to the point where it was not believable. Wish I had not wasted my time.

Savvy, sensuous, relatable, real. Fantastic foray into a world long dominated by machismo, a world now rewritten and recast by Taylor Marsh to highlight the power many woman need permission to wield. Subtle text and masterful vocabulary woven together to create an intriguing storyline showcasing a cast of characters you'll either want to emulate, date, or sic on your own worst enemy. Add to this an insiders intimate perspective of locale and fearless writing style and you have the beginnings of a new series you'll not regret starting - the first glimpse into a refreshing take on real power. Bring on the next one - I'm all in!

The last sentence in the epilogue "What in the hell had Alex gotten herself into now?". Too bad, the story was interesting. If you don't want a cliffhanger, avoid the epilogue.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice story
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 16, 2016

I quite enjoyed this book. The main characters were fun, Alex and Berkley share some witty banter, and the sexy hero with a heart, T.J., is kind, considerate, and of course, drop dead gorgeous! Brian Marks, a shady remnant of something Alex left behind in L.A. lurks in the background poised to throw a spanner in the works, and as the plot moves on you feel drawn to a climax that sadly (for me, at least) fizzles out.
I was left with too many unanswered questions and wondering if I'd missed something. The book isn't listed as part of a series, and if it isn't then I fear the author may have rushed to complete what should have been a much more satisfying read. Having said that, my opinion is just that, my opinion, and it's worth a read to make your own minds up.
