Prisoner of Passion

Even though this book is a little more on the darker side than I normally like, I found that it had my emotions running the gamut. From being appalled (at Sarah's circumstances), to sighing at the mushy parts, to bawling like a baby at Stephen's plan at the end. In my opinion, that is what a good book is suppose to do. Of course, the steamy parts didn't hurt either. *G* The book is now on its way to a friend.

I picked this novel up because a story that inspires love and hate is a story long remembered. I've been doing this long enough the others usually fade from memory. Case in point, I did my research on this one and found a gamut of public responses. 3x a bestseller, a favorite pick by booksellers, enjoyed by reviewers, praised by editors and a range of peers. Take your pick. My opinion, a definite keeper. Better, if you're lucky enough to get ahold of a signed copy, which I found this author does. Bottom line, arousing. Inspires lust. A great fiction piece with grit. Adult content charged with sex; not for emotional shrews. Personally, I'd not kick this author out of 'my' bed. Crash & burn tested. SAM

"This one is simply breathtaking, scintilating and stimulating. The editorial reviews, I found, summed this novel up perfectly. If you enjoy the eroticism of Anais Nin's "Delta of Venus", you'll appreciate Ms. Lindsey's sexually charged story."

"The romantic tension between Sarah and Stephen is breathtaking, and the sensual tension sizzles. The romance alone would be enough reason to read this book. In addition, though, Ms. Lindsey has included the suspense of an unsolved murder. With dark, twisted villains and a detailed portrayal of the seamier side of London at that time, this book also delivers a message about the society in which the characters live. Through this attention to detail, the book comes to life, and simply wouldn't be put down. Steamy...sensual...and full of love and hope. Prisoner of Passion takes the reader on a trip to remember!"

"Prisoner of Passion is absolutely breathtaking, stimulating, very descriptive and well written! I felt like I was captivated myself (going back in time)." I can't wait for the next book by Desiree Lindsey!
