Book Description
For more than a century, Alice, Wendy and Dorothy have been our guides through the Wonderland, Neverland and Land of Oz of our childhoods. Now like us, these three lost girls have grown up and are ready to guide us again, this time through the realms of our sexual awakening and fulfillment. Through their familiar fairytales they share with us their most intimate revelations of desire in its many forms, revelations that shine out radiantly through the dark clouds of war gathering around a luxury Austrian hotel. Drawing on the rich heritage of erotica, Lost Girls is the rediscovery of the power of ecstatic writing and art in a sublime union that only the medium of comics can achieve. Exquisite, thoughtful, and human, Lost Girls is a work of breathtaking scope that challenges the very notion of art fettered by convention. This is erotic fiction at its finest. Similar to DC's Absolute editions of Watchmen and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Lost Girls will be published as three, 112-page, super-deluxe, ovesized hardcover volumes, all sealed in a gorgeous slipcase. It will truly be an edition for the ages.

I feel validated in my disappointment..........2007-09-11
When I first read Lost Girls, I was so deeply disappointed in the flat, amateur artwork that it took me a while to realize how flat and unexciting the storytelling is as well. I can't believe that the book made it to production with the ridiculous dialect Alan Moore assigns to Dorothy, which is tremendously distracting in and of itself. I was expecting a magical experience from this collaboration - and to me magical doesn't mean it can't also be creepy and disturbing, which Lost Girls definitely is - but found this book to be the least imaginative of any Alan Moore I've read. At one point I thought the creepy factor might be clouding my view, but after reading other reviewers' comments, I felt validated to see that others share the same opinions about its shortcomings.
Enjoyable erotica.......2007-09-01
OK, some will balk at the premise. We all know Dodgson's Alice, Baum's Dorothy, and Barrie's Wendy as little girls, in the familiar fictions built around them. This takes the fiction a step beyond, imagining the girls as grown women, thrown together in an isolated resort on the eve of the first world war. Alice, the grande dame, stands aloof from political unpleasantness. Wendy is wed to an industrialist more interested in armored boat hulls than in breakfast (or in her). Dorothy appears as a plain old farm girl, who can't imagine that grand duke Ferdinand might affect her little life. Geographically isolated at this odd resort and culturally isolated by their individual circumstance, they break their personal isolation in each others' company.
They succeed, and break each others' inhibitions as well. With Moore's script and Gebbie's delicate colors, we follow a delightful debauch. Alice takes the two younger ladies under her opium-scented wing, for languidly choreographed affections of the sapphic kind. Dorothy brings her farm-girl awareness of livestock breeding to her human relations, male and female. Wendy, the ignored housewife, blossoms under any attention at all. Other characters round out the goings-on with straight, gay, and solo loving. The happy and consensual tone could appeal to readers who've been turned off by harsher kinds of erotica, and Gebbie's delicate artwork treats it all with lucious respect.
Make no mistake, this is smut. Decide whether that's what you want. It's good smut, though, of a female-friendly kind - the kind that also appeals to men tired of all that negative imagery. If you often find your genitals requesting the company and comfort of your hands, this could be a story for them to read to each other.

Absolutely brilliant.......2007-08-10
A must-read for anyone who can handle it -- this is not "erotica," this is porn. The stories and illustrations are EXTREMELY graphic. Some of them are unbelievably hot, some are unbelievably disturbing, many are both. Not all the sex in this book is fun.
It's also a brilliant piece of literature. What Moore did previously with League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, he does again here, on a grander and more ambitious scale. He deconstructs these tales with a ruthlessness that is both horrifying and inspired.
A solid piece of erotic fiction.......2007-04-02
While the art style may not appeal to everyone, "Lost Girls" is certainly worth a look if you like erotic fiction with a little more substance. The books provide an amusing interpretation of the "real" events behind "Alice in Wonderland", "Peter Pan" and "The Wizard of Oz". While the first two books do not appear to be particularily thought-provoking at first, they set the stage for some potent character development in the third book, when the formerly frivolous stories are cast in a harsh, new light.
Of note is that while events take on a darker tone in the third book, "Lost Girls" does not contain any particularily violent scenes. Unlike in most adult media, the focus of these three books is not the gratuitous depiction of extreme sexual acts, but raising questions and telling a solid story with believable characters. Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie have done a great job, showing that pornography doesn't necessarily belong in the gutter.
All things said, "Lost Girls" is a charming, bittersweet tale about saying goodbye to your childhood, leaving your make-believe world and growing up, and well worth the price.
Not what I hoped.......2007-03-06
I thought it was boring and a bit pointless. The illustrations were childish but the story line was interesting if a little disjointed. I wouldn't recommend these books unless you're somewhat innocent and looking for a thrill.

Customer Reviews:
Big Book of Breasts.......2007-09-07
Quite an interesting book from both a social and historical perspective. The text deals mainly with how and why many of these women became models and the roles they played in creating an image. Many of these models come from the glossy mens magazines of the 1970's and 80's, as well as date back to the 50's and 60's when nude photography was taboo.
The photos are tasteful and the text is interesting and speaks of the models how they conducted themselves, and why they posed.
Worth It.......2007-08-10
Great publication, although it's a bit large for the average coffee table. The photos are high quality and the commentary is interesting and well written. I only wish there was a greater variety of models and more everyday women featured. Certainly a conversation starter!
Better Than I Imagined - Great On Several Levels.......2007-07-16
From the "perv" in me, the focus on breasts, frankly, is right up my alley. :)
The execution of this book, however, is clearly on the art book level. It is a beautiful, large coffee table style book. The large b/w and color photos are extraordinary and beautifully printed. The text gives both context for these photos and offers extensive interviews with various models and people involved in the business. Furthermore, the plastic cover of the book is actually a virtual bra for the woman's torso underneath it. If you look at the cover art on this page, the black bra can be "removed" by removing the plastic dust jacket. Extremely clever. This book would be worth it at its retail price of $50, but at the approximately $33, it's a bargain. Even my wife, who is not particularly interested in women's bodies, found this book fascinating.
Great coffee table book.......2007-07-05
This book had wonderfully entertaining interviews and high quality photographs. I recommend it for the aficionado in your life.
great for the coffe table.......2007-07-05
everyone that has seen this book out has wanted to look at it. its very appealing to the eye and is a great coffe table book for singles.

Erotic and Classy.......2007-09-28
This book is amazing. 600 hundred pages of pure beauty. Anyone who is not famaliar with erotic photographers, like myself, this is a wonderful book to start with. The cost of the book will set you back about the cost of a tank of gas. And unlike gas, you will have the book longer than a week. Every artist is a bit different from one another and shine in their own way. A great coffee table book. Except, i would absolutely put it away when the nephews are over, but not my parents. Classy and sexy. Buy this book now.
Amazin book for fantastic subject.......2007-09-28
TNEP is a amazingly book very well done, with a interesting text on this subject. The finishing, paper, photo quality are outstanding. I recommend for all who love photography and beautiful women.
The New Erotic Photography.......2007-07-26
This is a wonderful book. Full of beautiful photographs of many beautiful women. Makes a great coffee table book.
Not safe for kids!
Misleading title.......2007-06-12
The book should be called "The New Female Nude Photography". No sex here. Nothing wrong with that, I just feel the title is a bit misleading. Quality is up to Taschen standards (they're really high), but the content is somewhat dull. There's nothing terribly creative or groundbreaking here.
Wonderful Collection.......2007-05-12
The book contains a variety of photographers, with each presenting a short series of well done photos, using many different models. The overall quality of the collection is outstanding. I was particularly impressed with the highly detailed nature of the photos. For devotees of erotic photography, I would definitely recommend this book.
Book Description
The accepted image of the Average American man as created by Oprah, Dr. Phil, network sitcoms, and a slew of other mass media outlets is one of an oafish retard happy to swallow down gallons of his significant other's crap in the hopes of being allowed to have sex with her once a week or at least watch some football.
The unnamed narrator of AVERAGE AMERICAN MALE is in his late twenties, has an unimportant job, plays video games, and hangs out with his friends and his girlfriend. But that's not all. He unabashedly reveals every thought that goes through his head, from his sexual fantasies involving his annoying girlfriend and other women he encounters, his masturbation sessions while watching porn, and his disgust with his annoying girlfriend and a majority of the people he comes across.
In the course of this hilariously honest book, our narrator suffers through a relationship with his fat–assed girlfriend until he finds the perfect girl. But when he moves into the new relationship, he slowly learns that all women are pretty much the same, that man's true desires will never be fullfilled, and the decision between living life alone or biting the marriage bullet must be made.

Been there, done that.......2007-09-22
I picked up this book after reading the first three chapters while still in the book store. The thing that REALLY got me was the relationship with Casey...I had a relationship EXACTLY like that. Same thoughts running through my head, same "misunderstanding" leading to a marriage, and finally children with a women I didn't love.
I was hoping there was some insight into this particular behavior, besides laziness and an unwillingness to speak up...but there wasn't. What was there was funny and razor sharp. I have had similar conversations with male friends when I was in my 20's. Who would you f***, why, and where? Constantly evaluating the women you see, to see if they make the 98%. Thankfully, (most) all of those thoughts were gone by the time I was in my 30's.
I especially like the irony when Carlos (the gay guy) tells our hero that oral sex means more than straight sex. Soon after our hero gets oral sex from a college girl, gets "used" as he puts it, so she can get back at her "thick-necked" boyfriend. CLASSIC!!
I great read and some...I repeat some insight into the male mind.
Complete utter #78,'#[12K,.......2007-09-08
The ending to this book is complete BS. It's just like his favourite pass time, jerk off.
I, too, had a hope..........2007-09-06
...to really really like this book. I read it straight through, thinking at some point the highschool language would finally grow into something worthwhile, but I was ultimately disappointed to reach the last page with no real sense of anything respectable. His honesty lures you in the beginning but doesnt ever really deliver a strong writing style or give any depth to any of the characters, except for maybe Casey. Like I said, I really wanted to like the book and even thinking about it now, I'd still like to have liked the book, but it just never got any better than the first chapter.
Laugh out loud funny.......2007-08-20
it's not necessarily laughing at supposed wit, but it is laugh out loud funny for the shock value if nothing else... being an Australian male, I can vouch that many guys do indeed think like the author, but maybe not as savagely or perversely. If you pick this book up expecting to be enlightened about something new, you probably won't find it, but an extremely relaxing read that you can complete in one sitting - it had me in stitches, but I can be very low brow. I lent the book to my female housemate after I was done, and she has now lost all faith in the male of the species - at least I have accurately set her expectations!
Unlike anything I've ever read.......2007-08-09
I picked up this book on a whim. What I found was a brillantly forthright portrayal of how men really see things, how their first instincts cause them to think and act, and the genuine predicament they face in relationships with women. At first the one-track focus of the narrative worried me, but I came to realize that this reflects the author's purpose and style, which relies on caricature and hyperbole.
What we learn about the narrator, the "average american male" himself, is that men cannot abandon their primal instincts regarding women, no matter how strong the societal influence to do so. Given the chance and requisite characteristics, most men would act exactly as the narrator does toward women, and even if they do not act the same way, their carnal inner monologue certainly matches the narrator's. Why do men, especially those with many female "options," tie themselves up in relationships? The narrator answers this question simply: for conveneince in satisfying their "needs." Nothing more, nothing less. Most often, feelings of love, especially early in relationships, are contrived and serve to quell whatever cognitive dissonance results when men inevitably wonder whether they could do better than their current situation.
If anything, this book's ending showcases the author's talent, as he manages to erase any doubt as to the message of the novel. Many may think this message too harsh regarding the prospects for true love and satisfaction in long-term relationships and marriage. When considering the hyperbole and caricature that permeates the novel, however, the meaning rings true, at the very least indicating the reality that marriage imposes on men in any civilized society, especially that of contemporary America.
Book Description
I was just a lost little girl forced to make it in a grown woman's world. A child turned out by the rulers of the game. When you get thrown into a snakepit you better learn how to wiggle! It's all about survival, baby. And not only did I learn the code of the streets, I made my own damn rules and got paid in the process. So listen close, but watch your pockets. I'm a Harlem girl. A scandalous chick. A ruthless mama. Me and this city are just alike. Grimy. And we never, ever sleep...
It's a hard knock life for Saucy Sarita Robinson and the rules of the game are clear: get yours or get had. When her father gets popped in an armed robbery and her mother turns to drugs, Saucy is left to scratch out a life for herself on the streets of Harlem, and this city-slick vixen refuses to become a victim.
Young, hot, and hungry for the spotlight, Saucy has a full package and uses her assets to get whatever she wants: 128th Street has its own rules, and she knows them well. With sex as her weapon of choice, Saucy hustles her way straight into the heart of the hip-hop underworld, preying upon any man -- or woman -- who might help her get ahead. But Hottt Saucy just can't get enough. Her calculating nature and insatiable appetite for power and prestige tempt her into dangerous waters, and before long she finds herself in too deep. The shot callers of the hip-hop world have a few tricks for Saucy -- a gutter plan to force her back onto the very streets that she came from.
But Saucy refuses to go down easy. She plots her revenge against some of the most powerful playas in the music industry, never suspecting that her enemies will fight back...and fight back hard.
Customer Reviews:
All I can say is "Saucey, Saucey, Saucey"!.......2007-09-27
I loved this books' storyline but I felt so sorry for it's main character. Noire did a wonderful job with character development but Saucey was a women who had been dealt a sour deck of cards since she stopped foot in the world. With her mom being a crack user and father being a well known hustler she didn't have any type of role models other than her Uncle.
Saucey was nasty and she did the people wrong that orignally had her back but was she ever given any real "self hope" within??? Great read! Keep doing your thing Noire!
Luv2Read.......2007-09-12
Ok... I would have to give this book a 3.5. It was a very interesting read and a real page turner. HOWEVER, I was very disappointed with the outcome. I could have done without all of the rap lyrics. Every couple of pages there were LONG lyrics. I say LONG because I am not into rap that way, so I skipped quite a few of them. It was a great story line and I can see that happening in the "industry" but, I kept hoping against hope that "Soy Saucy" would learn from her experiences as a child and a young lady and get herself together and become a mother to her child and a Lady that Free could be proud to have on his arm. Free was very loving, generous, and a great care provider in the beggining. She had a wonderful friend in Tai. But Saucy kept dissing them and that was her MAJOR downfall. I was very disappointed with the ending, because as I stated, I kept hoping that Saucy would turn her life around and become somewhat dignified. But she thought she was justified in every decision she made. And she made some absolutely horrible and disgusting decisions.
Diffenately a page turner .......2007-09-09
Actually on a scale of 5 I would give it a good 3.5 stars, but in the most part of this book it was having me on the edge of my seat, and dying to see what is going to happen next. I will admit that I did get a little bored a times, especially during the rap performances while I was reading all those whack rap lyrics and reading countless sex scenes that were just all the same to me, and nothing new, also I felt the ending wasn't the right fit in my opinion. But aside those few things, It brings out the real world of the hip hop and film industry, and Saucey lives it up to the fullest. I strongly enjoyed the book in a great manner of humor, and lessons learned and taught throughout the noval.
This was the first book I read by NOIRE and I will admit she is a talanted writer and I look forward to purchasing more of her work.
Is this what we have come to?.......2007-08-09
The entire time I read this book I was extremely upset, disgusted, and embarassed by Ms. Saucy but could not put the book down. I was always wondering what sick mess or desperate attempt she was gonna try next. Women PLEASE teach your daughters better than this. And if she has friends like Saucy step in and shut that friendship down and try to get that young lady some help. People, watch your family members and their parents and if you see the stuff happening to them what happened to Ms. Saucy, don't turn your head but do something. Save that child's life before they end up like Saucy.
I LOVE THIS BOOK!.......2007-08-09
Out of all the books Noire has written, this one is hot!!!! I read this book in two days, a serious page turner. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves sex, scandal, and story that ends with a twist!

Book Description
Daring and provocative, these images of the female nude push the viewer's limits and enters 'forbidden territory'. Argentini plays with our notions of privacy and constructs a deeply erotic universe where it is hard to know what we will find--our hidden sexual fantasies or a parallel reality? These charged images are both sophisticated and raw, with a dark and extemely refined glamour all their own.
Customer Reviews:
Great book.......2007-08-24
For starters: this book is a monster. I had the package dropped off in the mail room and wondered, "what the hell did I order?" The box was massive and weighed a ton... I thought I may have ordered a slab of bricks and forgot.
Once inside I opened the package. I quickly realized this was a well printed book. From the padded felt cover colored in red, to the nice paper that gripped your fingers. That, alone, made up for the cost.
Ibegan going through page by page. The color was all vivid. The women were beautiful and the poses were elegantlly seductive. I turned each page to find something new and exciting.
After about 50 or so pages, I began to get restless. It was almost TOO much book to be consumed all at once. I went through 10 more pages and decided to put it down. My mind couldn't properly digest everything it was taking in and I needed a break. 2 or 3 hours later I sat down to view more. This time viewed 20 pages before I had to close the book. The photography was great and the concepts are executed with precision. As a budding photographerI was overwhelmed with his skill. It was too much for me.
I have gone back to the book several times. I have probably viewed each image 2 or 3 times by now. There are some images that still resonate in my mind. It's definitely a book I would suggest to others.
I show many of my models, makeup artists, and wardrobe stylists. They react with different opinions. Some see it as trash. Others see it as art. Annd ohers are indifferent.
disappointing.......2007-07-12
the pictures are...frankly mediocre. I would suggest another one named Erotique--it's ligher, less expensive, and has better pictures.
I do NOT recommend this book.......2007-06-15
The women in this book are, for the most part, lifeless mannequins. In general, I didn't find the women to be photographed in a way that was either erotically attractive, or artistically attractive.
It's good, but could be shorter........2007-05-17
I like this book and the quality is superb, the models are beautiful, and the poses are excellent. However, I thought that the same could have been accomplished in a smaller size and shorter version which would have saved on cost and price. It got a little repetitive as it went on, in my opionion.
I highly recommend this book as one of the best ones out there for nude/erotic photography. It's classy and it really highlights beautiful female form with excellent lighting. What I also enjoyed is that the sets are all environmental and not studio. I hate those studio nudes that look so fake and posed. It was a good learning book for me.
Great with one exception.......2007-05-13
The imagery presented in this book is truly stunning and imaginitive. As a man that truly appreciates both beautiful women and photography, my only criticism is that the body types of the models could have been a little more varied, Otherwise, this a great book.
Book Description
First in a trilogy that crosses the boundaries of erotic fiction-from the bestselling author of Megan's Mark.
Too weak to resist young Kelly Benton's attempts at seduction, Rowdy Mackay left home eight years ago. Duty as a U.S. Marine put a safe distance between temptation and the nubile Kentucky vixen. Now he's back home and ready to engage in the kind of erotic games that have earned him and his two cousins a Nauti-boy reputation in three counties.
Once it was Kelly's dream too-to feel the heat of the boy she desired. But an attack from a stalker still on the prowl has left Kelly terrified of a man's touch. Now as fear and desire converge, Rowdy fights to save her from the deadly threats of a stranger, to rid her of her demons, and to satisfy a hunger more powerful than either can imagine.

Well...........2007-09-03
I guess it wasn't toooo bad. I mean I wanted to give this a 3.5 instead. I felt as if the characters are kind of lacking. The plot is there but the characters were weak. I read this after finishing Forbidden Pleasure so yes I was a little disappointed. However, the excerpt for Dawg's book sounds pretty exciting and Natches! Can't wait to read his story.
So because this is Lora Leigh, author of Forbidden pleasure, I'll give her another try.
not that great.......2007-07-26
its okay- i think i am over lora leigh and the threesome aspect of it all. and her being sexually traumatized didnt come off that true or realistic at all. i think this will be my last lora leigh book for awhile.
A Sexy read.......2007-06-25
Rowdy Mackay has been in love with Kelly Benton long before he should be. So to advoid problems Rowdy joins the Marines and leaves for eight years. Right before he comes home Kelly is attacked,which make her afraid of a man's touch even Rowdy's. But now Rowdy is home but the danger is still near.
"Nauti Boy" is the lastest book by Lora Leigh and I really liked it. Ms. Leigh gives the reader a real plot line and not just mindless sex and while some say it is not as good as her "August Books" I really liked it and can't wait for the next book in the series.
Nauti Hottie.......2007-05-23
This is a great book about the first of three cousins that live a naughty lifestyle. Rowdy returns home from the service to finally be with Kelly only to find her being terrorized by a psycho. Rowdy and his naughty cousins Dawg and Natches set out to capture the stalker. Along the way Rowdy finally gets together with Kelly and they have to decide whether or not they are going to share intimacies with his cousins. The cousins always share women but suddenly Rowdy doesn't know if he wants to share Kelly and Kelly has to decide if she can handle all three.
Can't wait for the other stories to come out. This book is not for people looking for a nice sweet romance.
Hotttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.......2007-05-12
I really enjoyed this book. It had story and lot of really steamy scenes.I enjoy all of Lora Leigh books and look forward to the next in the trilogy!
Book Description
Rice writing as A. N. Roquelaure.
In the traditional folk tale "Sleeping Beauty," the spell cast upon the lovely young princess and everyone in her castle can only be broken by the kiss of a Prince. Anne Rice's retelling of the Beauty story probes the unspoken implications of this lush, suggestive tale by exploring its undeniable connection to sexual desire.
Customer Reviews:
HOT STUFF!.......2007-10-01
It was so entertaining, in lots of ways. Don't read it if you want to keep the story of Sleeping Beauty innocent in you mind.
Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03
Take the domination and control Sleeping Beauty fairytale world and a new twist, and a lot of straps, paddles, ropes, and other elements of bondage and discipline.
Young royalty in this land are sent to serve older masters and mistresses in whatever way they see fit, most of it involving sexual situations, in general. This includes both mail and female.
They all suck.......2007-08-31
I read all three of these novels about a decade ago. They suffer every fault listed in the other reviews. Rice is absolutely fixated with forced homosexual abuse that goes beyond BDSM. And don't think you'll catch her balancing out the scales with lesbian sex, either. She's simply obsessed with homosexual rape, everything else is merely setting.
Left Me Wanting More.......2007-08-26
Claiming is beautifully written and gives you exactly what you want if you want erotica. It has something for everyone. I could not wait to get my hands on Punishment after I finished this book.
Either you love it or you hate it.......2007-08-21
There are some VERY mixed reviews on this book. It is for me, by far, one of the most erotic things I have read. I couldnt put it down and it stayed in my mind for days after finishing it. (I have read it 3 times now). I thought the 'Sleeping Beauty' aspect of it was a nice twist. All I can say is, Anne has one heck of an imagination. It is not for the squeemish however as literally almost every single page is filled with some sexual innuendo and MUCH more. If you are not into kink, then this book is probably not for you. However, I didnt think I was all that into it either until I picked up this book...

Customer Reviews:
Sexy and in good taste.......2007-08-16
We found some of the position a litle boring, but several made it worth purchasing the book. The positions are drawn and not photos, which is something we were wanting. Worth adding to your library.
great sex only if your're new to it.......2007-07-25
the positions n this book are very basic. this book is entertaining if you're really bored or if you are new to love-making. otherwise, it's corny and i read it to laugh.
Great Book.......2007-07-18
I enjoy the pictures and explanations of each position. My husband and I will enjoy all 365 positions if we can flex that much, lol.
repetitive.......2007-07-09
At first, this seemed like the perfect book to add new positions to our sex life, which needed spicing up. It did help give us some ideas, but soon, we realized that so many of the positions listed are repetitive, often one position is used 4 or 5 times, with such slight variations (such as, one on the bed, one on the ottoman, one with legs slightly raised.) Many of the positions aren't even positions! Some merely suggest you play with shoes or scarves or chocolate on a certain day. Also, the writing is so incredibly horrible to read. It's not only not informative, but merely each description is a rambling of constant "puns" about the title of each position. For example, one called "Laying Down the Law," tells you to point your loaded gun at her and pat her head to toe searching for weapons. If you're thinking about a book of sex positions, please keep looking elsewhere!
Good .......2007-05-22
This book is excellent, my husband LOVES, LOVES, I mean LOVES the book he wants to try all the position every day. I would recommend it to anyone.

From the book's back cover..........2007-08-13
Here is a brief synopsis of the two novellas:
Wicked Intent: Control has meant everything to Tally Raines. Control of the office she ran as Jesse Wyman's secretary, and now control of Lucian Conover's office as well. But Lucian isn't content to be controlled by his fiery secretary. As a matter of fact, Lucian thinks she needs to loosen up and let the sexy, sensual woman hiding beneath her cool exterior free. And he will dare her to do just that...With a little help.
Sacrifice: Kimberly has run from Jared for a year now, sensing the weakness he could be to her future. But she never expected the sacrifice he would make for her. One that will rock her soul, and destroy the very foundations of all her beliefs.
Her sexuality, her heart, and all she's fought for in the last six years will be tested when an assignment takes her to Jared's farm, and into his bed. There she will learn the true meaning of hunger, of love...as well as the deception and the lies that have governed her life for so long.
Anything worth having is worth sacrificing for. Kimberly is about to find out if she can pay the price, and risk not only the inheritance that should be hers, but also her heart to the one man who can still the fires that rage in her soul.
Hot, Hot, Hot!.......2007-07-12
Another great erotic romance by Lora Leigh. Great characters, great charisma, great stories. I highly recommend her books. I am usually never dissapointed. I can't wait for her next!
If you're over the basic romance books, this will do it!.......2007-06-01
After reading almost every type of erotic fiction, I was getting a little bored. Enter Lora Leigh & it's a whole new ballgame. I was an instant fan after the Breed series (can she get cranking on more, already?), so I decided to check out a different type. Love it, love it, love it! It's just naughty enough, with some great dialogue inserted between some really hot sex scenes. I found myself actually interested in the plot, if not totally believing that there could actually be a secret club of dominant alpha males interested in falling in love. I've already ordered the next 2 books, can't wait!!
delicious!!!!!!!.......2007-03-10
heartwarming and erotic to the max!!
beautifully written and i highly recommend it!!!!
