Pretty Good!

Lip Service is a very interesting book. The author draws you into the world of phone sex in a concept that I didn't expect. The conclusion of the story seems abrupt and could have used a bit more detail. However, it's an interesting story and is very enjoyable.

Absolutely fabulous

As a writer, I am particularly picky. Haven't read another excellent author since Nora Roberts in her golden years. I picked this up because MJ drummed up unheard of interest in this book over the internet - and originally self pubbed it. Had to check it out. Couldn't put it down! Instantly ordered all of her other stuff. MJ, where ever you are, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN??? So glad to have found you.

Fascinating

This novel offers a fascinating view into the world of phone sex. The believable heroine does not anticipate how becoming a telephone sex therapist will force her to confront some of her own sexual issues, blowing apart her carefully constructed world. The book is fun to read and hard to put down.

It Goes Deeper Than Just Being Erotic...

I just finished reading this book (7/1/08) and was pleasantly surprised at how nicely paced it was. It really picks up from the middle to the end and although the surface story is about phone sex, the story goes much deeper than that. It deals with relationships of all kinds and that's the nice surprise to it! I really enjoyed reading this!

Book that pays more than Lip Service

I was disappointed that I couldn't read the next book in the Sookie Stackhouse series, cause I didn't have it on hand and didn't want to read them out of order.

So I halfheartedly sat down to read "Lip Service." (I know authors must cringe when they hear someone halfheartedly sat down to read something of theirs.) By the second chapter I was gripped. I couldn't put it down and stayed up all night reading.

The story is about a woman named Julia who is fairly emotionally fragile and has panic attacks. She married a therapist and instead of interacting with her as a wife he's insisted on interacting with her like he's her therapist. It becomes very apparent he's got far more psychological issues than she does. She ends up becoming a phone sex operator, actually in all honesty she starts out pretty early in the book becoming a phone sex operator. And I can't say anything more without giving things away.

I know this description just doesn't do the book justice and there's no way for you to get a real feel for this book or what it's really about without reading it. The characters in this book are real, honest, flawed, infuriating, sexy, dorky. (and sometimes the sexy and dorky happens in the same paragraph)

This book just really moved me. It's definitely one that I want to add to my permanent collection.

Crackling with eroticism and suspense, the seductive new book that everyone is talking about probes the secret world of phone sex and one woman who becomes empowered by what she discovers there. Not since Erica Jong's Fear of Flying has a novel so masterfully mined the relationship between sexuality and identity.

On the surface, Julia Sterling's life seems blessed. Married to a renowned psychiatrist and living on Manhattan's tony Upper East Side, Julia deeply loves her stepson and is forging a career as a journalist.

When a writing job exposes her to the world of phone sex, Julia glimpses a world that stirs her erotic fantasies but threatens her carefully constructed reality. As she explores her emotional and sexual connections to the men she knows and several she will never meet, she confronts evil, perversity, and her own passions.

Tracing the currents of desire, illusion, and psychological manipulation,Lip Service is an astonishingly vivid glimpse into one woman's inner life. At the same time, this electrifying thriller grips the reader as it builds toward a shattering climax. M.J. Rose has delivered a debut novel unlike anything yet experienced in erotic fiction. Lip Service establishes her as a powerful storyteller.
