The Blonde Geisha
by
Jina Bacarr
"The early summer of 1892 brought a heavy rainy season that year in Japan. "Plum Rain, " the Japanese called it, because it comes when the fruit bulges with ripeness and promise. Like a young girl reaching womanhood."
"A girl like me."
In the ancient Japanese tradition of beauty and grace, sex and erotic fantasies are hidden secrets that only

I don't know how the author can be a "sexspert" and live in Japan and yet somehow know nothing about geisha.
Geisha were not high class prostitutes, or courtesans, and were not obsessed with sex - that's an age-old Western misconception that she does nothing to dispel and everything to reinforce.
She doesn't even bother to deal with the training period geisha go through, just skips to the (quote unquote) good part about selling virginity - and a sex-obsessed western 18-yr-...more

Jina Bacarr's The Blonde Geisha is a story penned in passion and written as if the pages of her novel were pristine rice paper walls that are silently turned back to let us see the sensual tale of erotic discovery unfold as we travel back to 1890s Japan. From the once upon a time of innocent erotic exploration to the explicit education of the soon-to-be geisha to the passionate journey of self discovery and personal power found when surrendering to the other half of your heart.

Overwritten blather.
When erotica is boring, it is either badly written or one has become old and irrevocably jaded.
I am middling old; the book is badly written. Ho Hum. Phooey.

I like the idea of the geisha experience, but after reading Memoirs of a Geisha, this book just didn't ring true. A sexy read, but I felt like I knew too much to really enjoy it.
The book clearly states EROTIC NOVEL under the title so i don't know how any of the other reviews didn't see that, but okay. You can't compare a book like this that mainly focuses on a gaiji 'foreigner' and not a native born Japanese girl like in Memoirs of a Geisha. It just doesn't fit well to it and isn't fair to the author. you should look at this book as its own. It's a mistake if you thought it was anything like Memoirs. If you're reading this book cause you're thinking it's going to be lik...more
I know a lot of people compare this to Memoirs of a Geisha, and many of the low ratings are due to the fact that they didn't know it was an erotic/naughty book. Bypassing both of those, I still didn't think it was great. First of all, if those unsuspecting readers think this is too naughty and heavy erotica, they haven't read JR Ward or Emma Holly or a host of many other actual erotic writers. I found the FEW sex scenes in here seriously lacking. They weren't hot and they weren't steamy, the...more
Don't let this book fool you, in that, it is VERY...umm...picturesque. XD I'm not sure if it's completely factual according to the way the geisha life is described, but of course, the geisha world is very much of a mystery itself. I will say the plot is somewhat shallow and I don't like the lack of morals, but hey, what can be done? It IS an erotic novel...
I didn't realize this book was an erotic fiction until after i started realizing how nasty it was, then looked on the cover and realized what it was... The book overall was kind of funny though. I would reccommend it to friends that want a great laugh. I like the setting though.
alright so i was stupid when i bought the book. i didnt know it was an erotic novel. but its ok. it was very confusing. it was either too much or too little going on. it would jump from one scene to another too quickely. things didnt add up.

Seriously,I could only get though like,ten chapters then I was ANOOYED that I returned it immedintaly. Even for an "erotic" novel,IT SUCKED.
I read an erotic novel on the toilet in my bathroom.
Aren't you jealous of my classiness?
Mhmmm. I thought you would be.

I hesitate to buy this book because of how Kyoto and Tokyo are spelled. The author tried to spell it in Japanese romaji, but they are both pronounced Kyo_to_ and To_kyo_, only two syllables.
Hated this book-DO NOT READ
Whoa...
This book was recommended to me because I liked Memoirs of a Geisha .. WOW was this different. The author's writing is really annoying. She uses the same adjectives and nouns over and over and there really isn't any variety. The story was just so-so and while the few main characters were somewhat developed, those around them were hardly well-written.
Totally thought would be more Memoirs of a Geisha-so not. DIRTY DIRTY Book!
Didn't realize when I got it that it was an Erotic Novel.
Absolute trash. What a waste of time.
