Eric Pete has done it again with Blow Your Mind. When Henry was fired from his job, he vows revenge on his former boss, Tanner Coleman. As Henry is following a car which he believes Tanner is riding in, he witnesses the driver lose control of the car around a sharp turn and crash. Convinced that Tanner is in the car, Henry rushes over to the car to ensure that Tanner does not survive this crash. However, Tanner is not in the car.

The person in the car is a woman who calls herself Pumpkin. She is the type of woman that any man would give anything just to be with her for one night. She is wild and uninhibited with what seems like not a care in the world.

Bianca, unlike her sister, is more conservative. Bianca even has reservations about having sex with her husband. It seems as if she goes through the motions but does not enjoy it.

Tanner is a self-made millionaire. He literally went from having nothing to having it all after years of hard work and dedication. Even after getting to the top, he still works hard. Sometimes too hard. He spends lot of time at the office working on one thing or another and not much time at home.

Each of these characters have something in common. They all have a secret that they are hiding from one person or another that could potentially ruin their lives if found out.

Blow Your Mind is an excellent fast paced novel that I could not put down. The chapters are each only a few pages long and ended with me wanting more which made reading this in one sitting easy.

An intriguing creative tale centering on fantasy, sex & revenge at the whim and mercy of Bianca Coleman.

Tanner Coleman, an extremely successful business man who has control with "everything" in his life, stumbles on the knowledge that he has very little control with his wife, Bianca and only to realize a few tragedies later that his marriage is a failure.

Pumpkin, Bianca's sister-in-deed, reeks havoc in Bianca's world.

Rory, Bianca's "good" friend, bares a deceitful so-called secret that spear heads Tanner's public demise.

Henry, an unfortunate ex-employee of Tanner's tumbles into the world of Tanner, Bianca & Pumpkin. He's entered into a relationship with them that may cost him his life.

The author used ingenuity as he softened the blow with a hilarious scene just before the brutal rape scene.

The writing was a bit mind blowing. It lacked clarity at different points in the story, preventing a score of 5 points for my review.

Otherwise, it's a job well done, Mr. Pete... I look forward to your next publication.

Four people with an unlikely bond. Henry is a man who literally had everything that life has to offer recently hit rock bottom when his gambling addiction gets the best of him. Things get so bad that Henry get fired from his job by his boss Tanner. But Henry won't go quietly and has noting but revenge on his mind. But his plans may get derailed when he steps into the exotic and dangerous world of Pumpkin. Tanner is a self-made millionaire that always gets what he wants professionally and sexually...even if it's not from his wife Bianca. Bianca is busy trying to be the perfect, respectable trophy wife for Tanner. But she is finding it difficult to tend to his outlandish sexual fantasies. Pumpkin is Bianca's wild twin sister who is everything that Bianca is not. She is willing and able to give herself freely to any man, including Tanner. These people are unknowingly a part of a huge game of deception. The question becomes `who's getting played by who?'

Blow Your Mind is an electrifying novel by Eric Pete. Pete expertly dives readers in head first with this engrossing storyline. This book grabs you from the first page and doesn't let go until the very end. Pete did an amazing job of linking these characters to one another without losing the reader. Blow Your Mind is a very appropriate title for this book because there is a twist that is so heart-stopping that it is literally mind blowing. Readers will need to pay close attention when the twist is slowly being revealed or you will miss it. Blow Your Mind is entertaining, dramatic, and deliciously erotic, making this one of the surprise hit novels of 2007.

What an exciting and very well written novel. It kept me guessing almost to the end. I've heard of Eric Pete, but this is the first book I've read by him. It won't be the last!

This Novel was very intense it brought to mind how men can often be so controlling in every aspect of there life but when it comes to their personal life they are unaware. I think this Novel proved that. It really had some high drama going on as well.Rejected: You Never Know What You're Gonna Get I think this book was excellent.

Okay, I read this book today and I was totally prepared not to like it. I thought it was too discombobulated, until the actual storyline hit me and then.... oh boy!!!! what a read! Way to go Eric Pete. It totally blew my mind! What an imagination(?) The lengths Bianca went through to please her mate took her on a ride she wasn't fully prepared for. The same rings true in real life; don't take the the ride if you're not prepared for the journey. A must read!

Blow Your Mind by Eric Pete...Buckle up for an exciting ride!! This book draws you in and doesn't let go. Stirring turns and twists make it hard to put down. Steamy, provocative, dangerous and shocking. I loved it! Bravo!

I debated on buying this book for months and months b/c of the mixed reviews but I went ahead and took the plunge and BOY am I glad I did!!! This book was a suspense thriller. I was holding on to the edge of the bed wondering what was going to happen next. I don't want to divulge too much info b/c I want you to read it not be spoiled. But I will say this.....the main character was a woman who started role-playing for her husband and ended up BEING the women she was pretending to be. But THAT person was a murderer, liar, etc.....you think you know but you have NO idea!! GET IT NOW!!!

For such a relatively new writer, Pete is one to watch and read. He keeps entertained and gives you just enough twists to prevent from being too predictable.
