Jane Porter #1-3
Beauty Emerges
Seducing… Jane Porter is looking to end her self-imposed, year-long celibacy with a master who’s willing to explore the depths of her sensual nature. Men looking for happily-ever-after need not apply. Antonio Villareal is a master on the hunt for a submissive. The moment he sees Jane on the arm of another man, he wants to possess her, body and soul. - Educating… Antonio is well aware that Jane is determined to keep their sexual relationship temporary, but he has other plans. Within hours of their first meeting, he introduces her to his best friend, and together they set out to unleash her inner submissive. - Reinventing… Jane’s weekend of heady sexual freedom is drawing to a close. She arrives at the final event, a masquerade ball, escorted by her masters, then discovers that the party isn’t the only item on their agenda. Antonio and Santos have no intention of letting Jane retreat to her everyday life. This night, if they have their way, Beauty will emerge from her shell—for good.

When I first bought this book eight years ago, I thought this was completely revolutionary. The writing sucked me in, and the plot was everything I was hoping for in a romance novel.
Now, eight years later, my reading tastes have changed. I found myself not as in love with the characters and the plot, as I did when I was a senior in high-school.
I'm still going to give this a 3-star rating because of how much I loved it back then, but I'm probably not going to be picking this up again.

3 ½ stars. Lots of erotic dom/sub and ménage sex. I’d prefer a little more story and emotional connection.
STORY BRIEF:
Peter was a lawyer, married with children. He had a two year affair with Jane, who didn’t know he was married. When she learns of this, she breaks up with him. He tells her no man could ever please her because she wants too much sex. Later, she attends a weekend party where dom/sub activities will be occurring. Antonio and his best friend Santos are at the party. They like to have ménages with women. Antonio is drawn to Jane from the moment he sees her. While she is watching a dom/sub performance on stage, he comes up behind her and whispers erotic thoughts to her. He asks her to wear his collar if she’s interested. She puts it on and begins a wild, wonderful weekend with Antonio and Santos. She loves the idea of being a submissive and being displayed and played with in public.
A second story involves Lily and Jean. They have been attracted to each other for two years, but they fight rather than pursue a relationship. They make each other jealous by having sex with others.
The book is divided into three short stories, but it’s really just one longer story. The three stories were electronic publications from 2008 and 2009.
REVIEWER’S OPINION:
This is primarily an erotic book. It was slightly above average. I wasn’t as emotionally pulled in as much as I would have liked. I would have preferred more character development, but it was ok. If you’re in the mood for lots of erotic dom/sub sex and ménage a trois (two men with one woman) you might like it. Sex scenes include public display of nudity and sex, bondage, spanking and rear door activity. It could have used some editing for spelling and word usage.
DATA:
Story length: 217 pages. Swearing language: strong. Sexual language: strong. Number of sex scenes: 17. Approximate number of sex scene pages: 82. Setting: current day Denver, Colorado. Copyright: 2010. Genre: erotic contemporary romance.

Always a fan of Dominique Adair I really enjoyed this story. Each of the stories went into each other seamlessly. The growth of the main character, Jane Porter is revealing. She takes back her life and puts it into the hands of men that really, truly care about her. If you're not into sexy reads then this book isn't for you. For those who enjoy a little bondage in their books, they will be unable to put it down.

I enjoyed this, quite fun to read, but man, there were many things wrong that I grew extremely frustrated with. Adair can write a scene like few I've read (super HOT!) but how she portrays bdsm lifestyle really bothered me. These are simply great escapist erotic stories that I am almost tempted to place on my fantasy shelf even though no true fantasy was involved. :)

I just finished this book last weekend. The book is very steamy and is sex, sex from basically page one. It explores the Sub and Dom relationship and also the two guys one girl type of sandwich. If you have fantasy's of being in a threesome with two spanish guys this books for you.

This book came with a warning, which I took as a challenge! It was enjoyable. Heads up, it was very sexually graphic, hence the warning. Although it was missing a few words here and there required to make complete sentences, it was still good.

I really liked this at first, but by the end it became little more than porn without plot (the barest minimum amount squashed into the last twenty pages) and Jane was saddled with the damsel in distress role I have come to despise.

3.5 stars
Erotica romance combined with great characterization, fast paced and fun-decent plot. A great read, kept me occupied and distracted on the elliptical.
