What Reviewers Are Saying
About The Novels Of Alexandra Adams

Gabrielle's Awakening:

"Pauline Réage move over! Gabrielle is the 'O' of the 21st century...
Brace yourself for something different. The contraptions and devices used in this book surpass the wildest fantasies. Alexandra Adams actually invented the whip anew! And what is more, she writes with a distinct voice and a fluent, graceful prose. 'Gabrielle's Awakening' is the literary equivalent of a multiple orgasm, but it is also an incredibly sweet love story."

—Christine Spindler, author, reviewer, and e-zine editor, in a
review posted to Sexy CyBooks, a site no longer online.

"Gabrielle's Awakening is an extraordinary look into the world of BDSM with heavy emphasis on the SM.  This book is definitely not for the faint of heart as it explores the intense relationship between extreme pain and extreme pleasure.  The exploration of this intense pleasure/pain relationship and the resulting submission of Gabrielle to Michael's every desire lifts this book to a level reached by few authors.  This subject is difficult to write without the submissive, in some way, being degraded, yet Ms. Adams pulls it off beautifully.  Never in any of the explosive scenes did I feel the character of Gabrielle degraded or humiliated.  To the contrary, in her pleasure/pain and submission, Gabrielle felt more valued than most women will ever experience.  The BDSM scenes were incredibly intense but the rewarding sexually volatile scenes were beyond any expectation I could have and I admittedly found myself feeling that the intense pain just might be worth it for that kind of pleasure.  The backgrounds are lush and the relationships that develop between characters show their intellectual sides as well as their sexual sides.  If you are looking for an amazing look inside the world of BDSM with magnificent characters and scorching HOT sex, then Gabrielle's Awakening is for you."

"This book will surely appeal to those interested in the BDSM scene."

"Alexandra Adams has truly created a story that, although it may have elements of sexuality that might offend some, is moving, loving, complex and realistic all at the same time. It reaches deep into our fantasy world and brings out the erotic elements of it, not so much as to titillate but to arouse and create awareness. I nearly found myself longing for the love, the depth of love that was expressed in this book."

"One has to wonder about the scene experiences personally experienced by this author. They must be extensive! Her descriptions of scenes are both graphic and intimate. Couple that with an excrutiatingly keen imagination and there you go. The characters are idealized while still being realistic, and the fantasy aspect is a delicately balanced tango of ideal sensualism and creativity. This being the first online novel I have ever read I can safely say that this was an excellent experience! It costs the same as a new paperback, and would be worth more! Go to the author's web site and buy this lovely e-tome!"

Gabrielle’s Awakening "is well written throughout...I'd recommend it."

—Brian Peters, avid reader of erotic
literature and staffmember of
Clean Sheets E-Magazine,
in a personal communication to the author.

"Gabrielle's Awakening exudes scholastic masterful flair of prose... It is most certainly not a pacy butt and thrust wacky caning utter drivel Victorian London BDSM drama, as so oft churned out by a well-known UK publisher... Alexandra (author) has encompassed inner dread of rejection on two levels in this, her first novel, as slave and sadist lover wade through wavering fields of underlying emotions. Gabrielle is on a risky road of discovery the like she never thought to tread, beyond past dreams that is. Meanwhile, her lover seductively if sadistically intends fulfilling a longed for dream of utter dominance of body and mind, yet finds himself losing self control in a way he had thought most unlikely... I thoroughly enjoyed Gabrielle's Awakening...CB"

"Aficionados who enjoy reading ultimate fantasy in erotic literature will not be able to put [Gabrielle’s Awakening] down after reading the first paragraph. In this Garden of Eden Adams has created her own Eve. She has molded her well. Readers will hunger for her next novel."

—A satisfied purchaser of Gabrielle’s Awakening,
in a personal communication to the author.

"This was an intense book that went to the limits and beyond.  Ms. Adams has written an overwhelming book filled with so much pleasure.  Michael is driven and intense, while Gabrielle has a whole world opened to her and embraces it."

—Laura, Reviewer for Enchanted In Romance

In Honor Bound:

"A masterful story, In Honor Bound is beautifully written, historical erotica. Set in an often forgotten time period, it is rich with detail and color. The reader is transported to the war-torn province of Wallachia after Vlad Dracula has fallen. Ms. Adams spared no effort to bring this time period to life... After five years, this is still the novel I turn to when I long to read about honor, chivalry, love and daring courage... It's a true keeper."

—Sharyn McGinty in a review posted to In The Library Reviews
(http://www.inthelibraryreview.com)

"In Honor Bound is that delicious, rare combination of erotica and dramatic, edge-of-the-seat story. Ms. Adams' writing style is richly lyrical... Looking for a summer escape into another time and place? In Honor Bound can take you there!"

—Joan Z. Sharpe in a review posted to the

"Here is another stunning effort by Alexandra Adams. There isn't a single thing about this novel that I didn't enjoy greatly! The historical background is well founded while still being very erotic, the characters are multidimensional, the writing is fluid and compelling, the action is rapid and engaging. Again, my congratulations on a novel well done!"

"I am bewitched. This is the kind of romance/erotica I have never been able to find before. Quite a few of the works of erotic fiction I’ve bought recently have been dreadful—pure porn disguised as books for discerning women—and I’ve never been able to read stock romance, (Harlequin etc.) at all. When you promised character-driven erotica, you delivered, even beyond what I find in many mainstream novels."

—Carly Corday, author of Forgotten Lore, Sacred Fire,
Manus Lorne and the Hour of the Wolf, Morganna,
and Son of the Wave, in a personal communication
to the author.

"This book exceeded my expectations. Ariane, Radu and Antony are multi-faceted characters. The sensual chemistry between them is strong from the outset and guarantees a stimulating read. 'In Honor Bound' is a novel for readers who seek superb writing, compelling characters and a fascinating historical setting..."

Evolution Of An Affair:

Evolution of an Affair "is an intelligently written novel about pain and pleasure and the surrender of power to a master... If you are looking for a well-written BDSM that has passion, caring, and love between two people then you will enjoy this book. I have read this book several times and have enjoyed it each time."

—Oleta M. Blaylock, in a review posted Just Erotic Romance Reviews Newsletter (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JustEroticRomanceReviews/)

"If you liked Gabrielle's Awakening and yearn to learn more about the Order of the Black Lily, then you're in for a treat… This entrancing novel leaves you with a powerful feeling of heightened sensuality and a desire that is fulfillment in itself. Not to be missed."

Eternal Triangle:

"Eternal Triangle is a well-written story of a long lasting ménage à trois. Both these men are powerful, intelligent and extensively trained in erotic arts. Either one would be wonderful as lover and companion. The two together will keep any girl satisfied... The wonderful relationship that develops among these three exraordinary people is passionate and loving. Neither man steps over the boundaries that Alison sets, but they do push her to the very edge."
