5 of 5 stars June 2009 by Dennis W. (Santa Monica, CA)

“WOW” is all I can think to say.  I expected all erotic poetry and the prose to follow suit.  SURPRISE! The poetry was an eclectic mix! There were so many different poems that I loved. I have to say De Sade (I know, I'm kinky, what can I say) was one of my FAVORITES!!! I absolutely LOVED Bondage, Hunt and Ecstasy. AMAZING! There were others too... like Fear. I didn't expect that! I love the poem, such a dark undertone. I can feel the emotion behind it. It's so thought provoking! I love it. I love the poem I Enjoy... It's beautiful... then at the end it's so innocent. Like adolescent... I can feel a tinge of fear of rejection, almost lack of self esteem in that poem. It's remarkable how much you can provoke emotion with just a few words. That's what I love about poetry. It can evoke such emotion, passion, in just a few words!  The prose was wonderful! I LOVE the piece you wrote on Black on Black Love! It's SO AMAZING!! WOW!  I can't wait to read it again... I can't WAIT For the next book!!! (www.Facebook.com)

"Poetry that knows what love is all about; erotic poetry that never confuses sex and love; that knows one only enhances the other. Beautifully done Sardonyx." (www.goodreads.com)

5 out of 5 stars February 2005 by L. Marchant (Los Angeles) Exquisite!

"Provocative Poetry and Prose takes the reader to a realm that tantalizes the senses as well as provoke the desire to be with someone you love. Close your eyes and just visualize the words as they dance through your mind after reading each verse. A must have for lovers." (www.amazon.com)

5 out of 5 stars January 2005 By Jose S. Reyes (Carson, CA) Sensual romance!

"OH MY GOD... this book is one of the most erotic, sensual, and overall titillating books I've ever picked up - AND I'M A GAY MAN so you know I've read my fair share. It gets you in the mood but more than that, it speaks to the power of the SPOKEN WORD. hmmmm Keep it coming girl - no pun intended. Thanks!" (www.amazon.com)
