The Bride Stripped Bare 1 review
Nicki Gennell
HarperPerennial, 2004
"For it is the long, long nights that defeat you. When you are blown out like a candle."
+ Good impulse buy
The best second person narrative I have read, ever! This is languid and beautiful and biting, tragic and edge of your seat. I started the book and within the first chapter I was committed. The litany on loop in my head? "This can't end well." It is the story of a woman's search for herself. ...

Lunch 6 reviews

Sparkles with Dark Beauty!
+ I devoured "Lunch"
+ I devoured "Lunch"
LUNCH is a book that is clearly not for the average reader. The story is a rollercoaster ride into the black abyss of sexual obsession gone off the cliff! The characters are among the most arresting that I've ever read, and the prose is sharp and clear with an intensity quite appropriate for ...

great for us beginners...
+ so hot...

This was the first real erotica I read and it was fun, funny, and sexy. A great book to start with. I've lent it to several of my friends that are shy about reading erotica and everyone loves it. It has a bit of a story..and feels just one little sexy step up from a novel. I love the cover ...

Variety is the spice...of life

If you want variety in your erotica reading...then this is the
book for you...including getting a tattoo...celebrating American holidays..in most unusual ways..and more.

Panic Snap: A Novel 43 reviews
Laura Reese
St. Martin's Griffin, 2001
Rawr!
I enjoyed this book and thought it was a pretty creative bend on the whole domination/submission s&m type thing. All in all, the "mystery" got a little tedious...Laura Reese has sort of a Dean Koontz writing style wherein you want to reach in and smack the main character for being such a knob ...

The Alibi111 reviews
Sandra Brown
Grand Central Publishing, 2000
One of my fav from SB, page turner
+ Romance in old Charleston
I find her mystery/romance novels to be too wordy, as in drags on til the last 100 pgs, and by then you're mostly bored with the whole damn plot. Except for this book...
Although, THE ALIBI was 560+ pgs long, I found that I was caught up with the story from page one. Truly loved the sweet ...

Dani Shapiro
Doubleday, 1990
Mesmerizing and soul encompassing
I fell for this author with her very first work. I read about this novel in the local paper and the excerpt was compelling enough for me to go buy the book, and every book since that Dani Shapiro has written. I was caught up in her dance with Carolyn and moved to the point that I wrote to the ...

i loved this book, i actually read it in a day. i then gave it to my prudish boyfriend to read. it is quite a refreshing read. a lot of the writing might be about sex but i feel that adam is trying to take a humorous slant on the subject. one of the characters has never had an orgasm (which ...

Roc, 1995
Another delectable collection from Slung
+ Go Buy This Anthology
+ Startlingly Horrific Short Stories
After having tasted the delicious flavors that Slung first put together in "I Shudder At Your Touch", I found my mouth watering for more of the same. "Shudder Again" did not disappoint me. This time Slung has dug up some treats from the past, from such authors as Arthur Conan Doyle, Charles ...

Psychological insight -- real and uncensored
+ BRILLIANTLY FUNNY AND TRUE!!!
Just finished it. Loved it! Masini has explored with uncommon honesty what it feels like to be lost, to be obsessed, to be haunted by the fact that one's beloved is sleeping with another. Her language never hits a false note. I didn't see this as a "New York book" but as a tale about what goes ...

Simon Beckett
Allison & Busby, 1994
Didn't like it, didn't finish it
The characters are trite, the main character boring and without any redeeming value, and the story slogged along without excitement. I read about 100 pages, then the last chapter, and that was enough for me. Perhaps somebody else will find it interesting, or think it has psychological intrique; I ...

A great, enjoyable read!
+ Slow Start But Good Read
+ Great Read!
This was another incredible story by Sandra Brown. The story was full of twists in the plot and the suspense kept me reading page after page. Her characters were well developed and the plot was realistic. Just a great enjoyable read.
