I've read all of the Desire books to date 4 and have enjoyed them all.  I look forward to future books.  They are hot and fun to read.

Life is diferent for some people, and our main male  character is a model saught by many. He comes across a woman at one of his clubs, and the desireand attraction he feels is near magical. The rest of the story fills my imagination warmly! This is an enjoyable read.

I really want to know where you can find this kind of excitement.  I enjoyed the
story about Kayla life.  Most women can relate to the story of being told that you are not what your lover wants.  But life does go on.  You will enjoy this book if you like excitement, romance, friendship and love.

Reading this adventure has inspired me to add a few more places to my bucket list. Max's descriptions of the places he was blessed to experience have given me the desire to explore areas I was previously not familiar with, and I thank him for also informing me of destinations to by-pass.

I envy his ability to journey around the world on a vessel with which he truly felt a kinship. All of us should be so lucky.

This is a well written journal that kept me interested from the first page. If you love to travel, this is a definite selection. I only wish there were more pictures Max had shared.

I enjoyed this book about southwest Louisiana.  I knew there was good food and music and for those who have experienced it don't seem to want to leave.  The bodies die and return to the earth, but some souls seem to refuse to move on.  According to "Haunted Lafayette Louisiana" many area's around Lafayette indicate this is true.

 I am interested on the chapter "Arnaudville" and visiting one of the mediums to see if any of my loved ones show up!  I want to go visit the cemetery at sundown and see if I can see anything there.

I found this location on the world map and was able to see it in my mind's eye.  It was great to feel that other parts of the world had a small town  that was filled with families of similar faith and culture.  I grew up in a small town in Oregon that had this feeling of connectedness.

A lot is going on. A lot of interesting things going on. The world they've built for us to look in on is worth our time and makes you want more

As a staunch fan of Delerium, Era and Enigma, I came across Lesiem in a article, and something internally made me get this CD to listen firsthand to this group. What struck me first was how unique Lesiem was. Yes it does have electronica, rythmnic chanting and vocals. But  it is mixed and carried over quiet smoothly.

This taste of Lesiem has made me hunger for more. And I will sate my hunger by ordering more of this group's music. My favourite tracks were Fundamentum, Una Terra, Open Your Eyes and Liberta. This music will make the listener feel relaxed and take you on a journey down into your own fantasies.

What was most exciting about reading a chick lit novel like Waking Virginia, as a male, was the insight I seemingly had into the fantasy world of the women I seek out. It made me think of whether my partner would enjoy reading this and which parts specifically she found most enticing. I saw it as a window to opening a conversation about how sex is perceived by my partner, and what her sexual fantasies are currently. It was the #Girl. Power version of 50 Shades of Gray, which, as a feminist, I found much more helpful in leading to discussions with my partner. Rather than get inspiration from half-baked corny sex scenes taken to their BDSM-y extreme, Id rather see the need for discussing fantasies satisfied with the nuance, the thought and the values I incorporate into my life that Waking Virginia embraces.
But what made this book particularly wonderful was that these implications were a mere afterthought. While reading the book, I was simply enjoying Ginnis journeys, her ponderings and her sexual escapades. The book is, simply put, delicious, fun and sexy. While at times I felt the characters were a bit flat, particularly the two men, and as a future academic I was a little discomforted by Ginnis obliging to the professors sexual advances, but that may be too much to ask for in a perfect beach-read. The writing style is whimsical and easy-going, switching easily between the architectural details of Geneva, the history of political thought and delightful female-centered sex scenes. I honestly just sat down one evening and read it in one go.
I genuinely hope that Waking Virginia will be the next 50 Shades of Gray.
The women of the world deserve it to be.

"My tastes are much more complicated"

"Darkest Desires" is a short book where pleasure is sinful, the mystery is carnal and desires become reality.

"Behind me, his chest is firm and broad.
Powerful. Strong. The kind of man who can overtake, overpower, and overwhelm you..."

The story of Stella and Mikhail is interesting and has a rapid pace. Stella has very peculiar tastes and although she begins to discover this part of their sexuality, is addictive.
I think my favorite parts are the scenes of the club, hot! The sense of the unknown but also the desire to feel is something that Stella experience every time she crosses that line....And Mikhail wrap everything in mystery and sin.

"Because he is gorgeous. Make your mouth water, make your knees weak, take your breath away kind of gorgeous"

I really enjoy this book, I would like to know more about these characters, I think their story has great potential.

Makes you wish you could get on a plane and find this charming seaside town in France!  Filled with beautiful descriptions of the settings and locations, you find yourself pedaling a bike along with Ondine, as she delivers exquisite cuisine to the town curiosity, Pablo Picasso. The novel covers the lives of Ondine, the grandmother, Julie, her daughter and Julie's daughter, Celine - and they all center around a painting of Ondine, which Picasso is alleged to have given her.  The painting could not be found at the time of Ondine's death.

Most interesting are the interactions of Ondine and Picasso - Ondine as his model and chef - and Picasso, known for his mercurial  pursuit of women - women of all ages!  Equally interesting are the dishes Ondine's mother prepares for Picasso, which are highly detailed to the point of eliciting a drool or two as we read!  Aside from Ondine's fascination with Picasso, is her determination to find and marry Luc, the only man she has ever loved.  Lots of questions along the way - is Picasso's interest in Ondine sincere?  Will Luc return from the war to rejoin Ondine?  Will headstrong, but subservient daughter Julie have a good life, and will Celine find the Picasso painting in time to solve a lot of problems?  Good reading and page turning!

There's a  lot to be learned about Picasso, the way he painted, and where he found his inspirations.  The author's research revealed him to be even more egotistical than other accounts led us to believe.  The author did a good job in describing him over a number of years. I'm still trying to shake the vision of the over-70 Picasso in shorts and a white shirt open to display a massive, tan chest!

This novel is a comfortable read and a wonderful escape vehicle!

Excellent description and sense of place and people. I enjoyed seeing Jimmy coming back to the emotional world and especially enjoyed getting to know Sandy on a deeper level. Selfishly, I wanted a little more from the capture and conclusion - guess I'll just have to read the next in the series.

Being a native South Carolinian, I enjoyed reading about (fictional) folks from a city I am very familiar with.  The places and personalities seemed authentic to me and the love story was, as in life, strange.  I am 66 years old, old enough to know that the turns our lives take are truly amazing and make every life worthy of a novel. Enjoy the taste and atmosphere of a unique place and I hope you will one day make an actual visit there after you've lived this virtual one.
