Customer Reviews
The Other
Why would an editor approve the repeated use of this phrase to refer to a character in this novel? As a retired English teacher, I simply cannot comprehend such an awkward word choice. Together with the too frequent abuse of “erotic” ( or rather, filthy) descriptions, this is why I can’t give this rather interesting novel the fifth star.
Good story with lots of twists
Remember the beginning , it helps at the crucial ending. Titillating sex and love , woven into a good story.
Entertaining
It took awhile for me to get into the book, but once I did…it was a page turner. I really liked the main characters, they definitely had chemistry. I loved their dialogue.
