I don't want to say this is the worst thing I've read, but it comes pretty close. While the plot concept is certainly scintillating, the execution is absolutely awful. Locke obviously hasn't discovered what a thesaurus is and uses the same trite words and boring sentence construction to describe every single event. The 'erotic' scenes(which are practically on every other page) in the book seem straight out of a stereotypical bad porn flick from the Valley. I actually found myself offended by some of the scenarios and how they were arranged and that's not including the poor choice of language. After a while, I had to give up. There was no plot, just awkwardly written sex that read like it was produced by a man. It was that bad and I have better things to read.

I'm a lesbian now but before I read this novel I was teetering on the edge and after reading her detailed descriptions I've discovered this new style of loving is so very enjoyale and pleasing. I suggest every one read her work she's a delight to have around, even if your lifestyle is straight the exciting sexual pleasures desribed in this book should be enjoyed by everyone.

I do, it's so close to the real thing and when I read it I have to be sure I'm alone or I could have an enbarrassing situation. Both her books are so close to reality it's hard to tell the difference except I havn't come across anyone who comes as close in real life. Eve Locke is my constant companion

She, Eve Locke certainly knows how to tell it the way it happens, her descriptions are as close to the actual deed as being there. You don't need any pictures, and I feel as though I'm being included in the lewd festivities. I love it, it's easy to read and the feeling that I get during the time I'm reading is unexplainable, I'll read her novels till I die she's so good.

I'm a lesbian and I love reading as many novels about my lifestyle as I can, many are just kid stuff, but the Lesbian her virgin and Ocracoke Island is as close to me and my lover as a person can get. Its a real turnon from the very first pages, the author is showing talent, style and courage to describe all the raunchiness she fills her novels with, We love it and we're fans for life.Eve Locke should be immortilized and she deserves saint-hood.And she tells it like it is.

There are reasons why this book is a keeper, because it works. There are many remote viewing books on the market, but how many actually work? My secret is... check how many buyers bought the book and trying to re-sell the book, this will tell you how good is the book. This book is a keeper for generations. I place mine in the safe. So, you have to "remote view" to find this book of mine.

This book is referred by a friend of mine, he could not believe "remote viewing" is possible, neither do I. And he found this book on his local library, and suggested I get it from Amazon. And I did, I am glad to own this book, it is so simple to use, it is hard to imagine. I have been using the skills on my personal life. I can even remote view my son's college life, since he lives in a foreign country - France. One day, he was sick, I remote viewed this from the US. And flew to France and took care of him, and he thought he could hide his sickness from me. Well, think again.

I was told by book seller, "Merlin-Books is doing "Annual Inventory Counting," and to order more books for their inventory, for the period Feb 12 to Feb 21 08, all potential books buyers...Please come back to Amazon after Feb 21, thanks."

It's nice that this book is short enough to finish in a couple of hours. However, I find the author, Sapphire, to be very arrogant, and he released this book without checking it for spelling and grammar errors. The techniques he gives seem impossible! I'm still motivated enough to give it a try, so we'll just have to see if it actually works.

I bought tons of paranormal books, none of the books as easy read as this author's books. If you are well read enough, you should be able to notice...the British and American, they write differently in term of grammar style. When you get on the British air, you will find the flight magazine has tons of grammar mistakes (by American standard), but when the British reading American airline magazines, they accused us... "American does not know how to write," it is the same thing. This book as far as I am concern, there are no grammar mistakes, it depends on which country you come from. If you really care about the grammar, you should get a grammar book, not this book. What I like about Sapphire's books, he is genuine, he does not hide anything from you, he leads you step by step. Best of all, you get to practice and be very successful with the instructions from this book. The result is almost instant.
What I treasure about this book, author is willing to share his knowledge and pass it on to all readers. That is a very precious gift to all of us. Author claims he is a god, so be it. With the abilities like his, it is really equal to a god. Read his forum, he is helping the astrals from all over the world, like the Burma victims and China earthquake victims. Who has these powers to prepare their afterlife in astral--> Sapphire. I have another book by the same author, "The Secrets of Death: In the view of astral projection." This book is a "must" read, will rattle you to the bone. And I am able to distant view my passed away parents, thanks to the author.

some of the stories - i felt that it was too exaggerating. but the "naughty" action parts are really good (; i especially like the fancy pant story!

Its all here - M/M, F/F, F/M and M/F spanking action and it is all well-written, imaginative stuff. That is great if you like EVERYTHING. If your tastes are more particular, for example, you are not interested in one or two of the categories above, you may not be enthusiastic about some of the stories.

Something to take note of - you will learn a new way to learn the musical scale that is bound to leave an impression.
And there is as much variety as A to Z.
In another story a "student" is not likely to forget the scientific method after the "hands on" approach by her teacher.
You'll probably be kept busy doing your homework as you re-read this textbook over and over.

What struck me about this book was the true diversity of each short story. I loved the idea about erotic stories from A to Z, and this was not at all cheesy in the case of this book.
Not all of the stories were turn-ons for me, but all were intersting and each had a unique perspective. There are stories about married couples, singles, gay men, lesbians, and stories involving multiple partners.
This book was an intriguing read, and each tale gave me ample material to think about in one way or another.
Whether you are curious or have already had erotic spanking experiences, I strongly recommend this book. And don't miss Bussel's essay compilation on spanking, coming out soon. I already pre-ordered mine!

Each author give's their story on spanking. Their saying it's okay to do that if you in the mood and if he or she like's to take charge in the bedroom.

Absolutely at the top of the list, just under The Holy Book of God, you will find this masterpiece. Of all the oceans I have dared to surf, the ocean of Owens' "Overcoming Sin & Temptation" will quickly grab at your heels and pull you under. However, after returning to the crest of the water, you are ready to dive again. Endless thoughts he ponders on the awfulness and despicableness of sin to which he offers God's Holy Word as the ONLY balm of healing. Any scholar or student of the Word of God must take on the challenge of digesting even "parts" of this book. I will for the next twenty years be scouring the pages of this volume to understand the depth of the wisdom of John Owen.

I'm about a third of the way through having owned it for a little over a month, and the book is phenomenal. This is not light reading though, and one must be in a state of high mental and spiritual aptitude, as well as prepared to reread a sentence or two now and again. Concurrently, I'd say this is a book to spend some time with rather than trying to rush through in a week or two.
They just don't write 'em like they used to...America we need revival!!!

This is a well written and thought out book by John Owen. The editors have done a great job making it accessible to laymen like myself. After reading the forwards I was intimidated to even start, but with their "modernizing" of the language and useful footnotes at the bottom of each page, they have helped make this a book that many will understand and learn from.
I would highly recommend it. You may spend a lot of time on one page, but you will grow in your faith and find scripture passages enlightening in new ways to you.
Take up and read!

Takes plenty of work to read, but magnificently rewarding. I don't know of anything that compares to it on these topics of sin and tempation. It took me over a year, but I read all 400 pages and loved just about every minute of it.

I've read many books on "Christian living", all pale in comparison to this master. He is streets ahead of Stott, Piper, White, Schaeffer and the plethora of modern authors who've unsuccessfully (and I say that only after seeing Owen's acheivement) tackled this topic.

Wow! And wow again! As far as I am aware, this is a break out novel for Sharon Carter Rogers, and she just made it to the top of my authors-to-watch list.

Sinner is a story that, while somewhat predictable in outcome, is a compelling journey. Rogers weaves a tale of past and present to a surprise living-connection between two engaging characters.

CK Ivors is a name without a face to most of the world. But to her charming entourage she is boss, author, and Superman collector extraordinaire. The Sinner is mystery man, vigilante and urban-legend all rolled into one. He's been quiet for years but he's on the move again - wearing a cool grey coat. CK Ivors is desperate for the subject of her next book and finds it in The Sinner. CK and her team are some of the most engaging characters - and I do mean "characters" - I have met in my reading of late. Rogers does a fabulous job of making the reader fond of this unlikely collection of talent that hunts down the famous Sinner legend, and eager to read more of their collaborations.

The conclusion of the story finds CK confronting the past and The Sinner confronting forgiveness. It's a soft approach to the message that is accessible and uncomplicated. Sinners in both camps - forgiven and otherwise - will find this a poignant and fitting end.

I'm amazed at how adept Rogers is at pacing and transition, as well as the already mentioned character development. She weaves a tale of ins and outs that could leave you needing a score card, but does it without so much as a moment of confusion or anxiety. What should happen at just the right time - does, leaving the reader wholly gratified and not the least bit disappointed. Don't know where she came from, but this is one author I won't miss next time!

The short and sweet of it is that Sharon Carter Rogers has written an amazing piece of work. Sinner was captivating from the start. Her story telling technique drew me in and held me throughout. She masterfully employed a layering technique in both plot and character development wherein details and structure were withheld from the reader until it became almost crucially necessary.

The story itself is a brilliant concept. The world which Sharon created and the mythology of the titular character were so very well thought out and developed. Nothing felt rushed, stretched or required jumping to conclusions in order to get where she wanted you to go. In fact, I found that when I did jump to conclusions, I was more often than not wrong. And not because of the employment of some deus ex machina or literary slight of hand. Her storyline and subplots followed a logical, progressive order that kept every aspect of the story neatly wrapped up with no loose ends or unanswered questions at the end of the book.

As for the characters themselves, each was well developed, well executed and believable, from main character CK Ivers down to supporting roles and "extras." The dialogue and back stories made each of the characters interesting and each played their parts well with none seeming as though they weren't crucial to the story. And, I might add, Sharon showed us just enough of these characters to make me want more of them. I can only hope we will one day.

I have, over the past 4 months made a concerted effort to reach out and discover authors which I had not yet heard of or read. Sharon Carter Rogers is, without a doubt one one of the top three authors I have discovered and her name will be placed firmly on my "watch list" of other authors to always read whatever they have available.

I whole heartedly recommend Sinner. It is a gripping, captivating read. You will not be sorry you read it.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Sinner. Not only is it well-written, intriguing, and suprising, it's also a fun read. It's obvious Sharon Carter Rogers has a sense of humor to go along with her vivid imagination.

Addtionally, it's great to read a Christian novel that speaks the truth of Christ, without forcing it down the readers throat. The author does a superb job of examining the issue of sin, forgiveness, and redemption through normal conversation and everyday experiences(as normal as can be expected in a supernatural novel). A book I highly recommend.

I just finished reading SINNER and I have mixed feelings about it. First I'd like to mention that the opening scene is one of the best I've read in recent times. Awesome! And while I found the plotline and mystery at the core of the book to be very enthralling, I also experienced a strange detachment throughout the ride.

I'm used to reading multi-viewpoint novels, but this one I found a bit jarring. It quickly skips from one view to another, and I knew while reading that all these threads would eventually tie together--so it didn't bother me, but with most of the POV characters having strange names and very little physical description given, it is difficult to remember who's who. I had to keep flipping back, which is very annoying. If you set the book down, forget it. You have to remember who's who, who's where and what predicament they're in. Regarding the strange names, Lincoln, CK, Junebug, Keena, Cyril, Maria Eliza Garces, Rebel, Chance or maybe it's Chase--who knows without the book in front of me, Galway, James Dandy are just some of them, it seems as though the author thought using her list of favorite baby names in her novel would be cool, along with her favorite letters: k, j, c, l, r and S, which causes a lot of confusion. I cringed every time a new character came on the scene with their clunky, funky name. Strange names aren't necessarily bad, like with the Matrix, but the names there were distinct enough. The overuse of last names also, seems like a tiny detail, a preference thing really, but it ushers formality throughout the book. CK Ivors, CK Ivors, CK Ivors. I couldn't stand that. And with so many POV's, the protagonist in the story, CK I'm guessing, is not showcased enough. I don't feel like I know her well.

The author did a FABULOUS job at revealing little idiosyncrasies of the main characters, which were cute and fascinating, but there wasn't much beyond that. The dialogue, which could have been used to reveal more character depth was pretty blah and generic, with the exception of a few key scenes. I hoped to feel CK's passions, hurt, anger, frustration or something somewhere along the line, and I never got that satisfaction. I don't mean the author's characters weren't interesting or that they came across flat. It's just that I didn't experience the book, feel like I lived in that world, which I expect to happen when I read a book. While the intriguing story-question in this novel kept me riveted, there was so much about it that held me at arms-length and jerked me out of the story. By the end, I felt I knew very little about most of the characters, save The Sinner. Maybe that's the author's point. If so, then she was successful.

Also, I'm not one who needs a lot of character description to enjoy a story, but the author withholds facts about certain characters until the end. Totally unfair to the reader. Galway, for instance, is said to be old. So I adopted a certain mental image of him, thinking that's where the description ends. But no. Three-quarters of the way through readers learn he's a chubby, Irish-looking guy with reddish wisps of hair around his balding head. And the MC's description isn't given until almost the very end. Most characters I didn't picture. They were just shadows because I wasn't given much to composite a mental image. Also, journal entries from a Beverly Scott Thomas, who I assumed was a woman, nope, wrong again, were indeed written by a guy. Beverly? Really? Another weird name! Maybe it's a nineteenth century thing.

While the story served to answer the questions, mostly, SINNER didn't really have a converging climax like you'd expect from a book in the thriller genre. All the forces didn't come together, although the threads did, it just kind of ended after a violent episode, a story and a nap.

The story of SINNER is good, in spite of my negative comments. I enjoyed how the mystery unfolded. The piecemeal effect would have been more enjoyable for me with a wilder ending, more identifiable and pronounced characters--minus some of the crazy names. This book differs a great deal from most Christian fiction, which usually highlights at least one strong Christian main character. SINNER simply carries the message of God's grace, which I believe speaks louder than a sermonized chapter would. I do give the author applause for that, as it gives the book a broad-spectrum appeal in both secular and Christian markets. I'm just a reader who values character development and story pull as much as plot.

I do anticipate spectacular works from Rogers in the future. She has an entertaining narrative voice, a creative mind and a heart for God.

SINNER has all the markings of a really terrific thriller - a kind of grown up Nancy Drew mystery whose chief character is a writer CK Ivors who has a penchant for mystery and group coordinated investigation. As Sharon Carter Rogers begins to spin her tale the book has all the tension and feeling of a 'can't put it down' epic: there is a murder of a priest with a past history of unpriestly behaviors, a 'supernatural' hunky guy who traipses around in a bullet proof coat righting wrongs for people by killing the bad guys, a fascinating little group of thinkers and smart kids, police and wealthy men along with gangs, maids of glory etc.

The problem, for this reader, is in the telling. Rogers splices bits and pieces of incidents that are not always linked chronologically (not a bad thing at all) but fragment the story with a plethora of funky names that make the reader keep back-pedaling to stay on track. There is also the addition of a diary in a different font and graphic setting set throughout the book that has a payoff in the end but again blurs the progress of the novel in the meantime. Rogers has some absolutely terrific ideas ('Sinner' as a character is a fine concoction that pleads for cinematic realization) and her use of CK Ivors is very sound. The subtle introduction of spiritual values is well done. But for a novel that is supposed to be a spellbinder there is just too much clutter in getting there. It feels like the next outing will be a solid one, with the help of a more forceful editor. Rogers is a fine writer! Grady Harp, March 07

I enjoyed reading this - as well as my husband. It may look small but it packs quite a punch! Some are funny, some thought provoking and some just plain hot!

Steamy Erotic Poetry is a real pleasure. Without being vulgar it is VERY sensual. Solomon knows, admirably, that Aphrodite is a laughter loving goddess, furthermore, and running throughout his poems is a rich sense of humor. Finally, this is a book that is lovely and loving: a gift (as it was for us) for Valentine's Day.

John Solomon's book was incredibly well written and while it wasn't the longest book ever written it is well worth the money. I recommend that people pick up a copy of this book. And give it a shot. As a matter of a fact, one of my friend's have currently borrowed the book from me. She mentioned she enjoyed the book as well. On a side note, John's book arrived quickly and efficiently. Again, I really think people should buy a copy of this book.

When looking for some poetry to add a little excitment I poured over severel reviews for books. I came across this book and read some of the reviews and thought I would give it a chance. I was very happy with the end product. My wife and I have very much enjoyed spending time together reading the poems. They have added that little extra spice that makes things go so much better. I would hughly recomend it to anyone who wants something simple to read but adds a great deal of pleasure to your love life.

I bought the previous edition which inspired me to write a few poems in similar style... this new one is even better and I'm SO glad I bought it! Lovely, erotic thoughts, sexy ones and funny ones, expressed with economy of words. Thoughts and verses to share together and smile over, and revisit. Thank you for a real treat!
