Book Description

IN SESSION from international bestseller M.J. Rose, features the return of Dr. Morgan Snow, in a brand-new story collection!

As a therapist specializing in sexual issues, psychiatrist Dr. Morgan Snow isn't easily shocked, or shaken, as readers of the popular "Butterfield Institute" novels know. There are times, however, when the need for her services leads her out of the office... and into unfamiliar worlds.

In these stories the therapist matches her wits -and her training - against three men of mystery: Jack Reacher, John Rain, and Cotton Malone.

Those characters are, of course, familiar to readers as the creations, respectively, of NYT bestselling authors Lee Child, Barry Eisler, and Steve Berry. All three swore that their characters would never agree to therapy - unless Rose found a way to get then there. And she did.

In EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES with Steve Berry's Cotton Malone, a woman seeks help for her lover, and sends Dr. Snow overseas on a most unusual house call....

DECISIONS, DECISIONS where Barry Eisler's John Rain forces Dr. Snow out of her own comfort zone, and into the world of a former patient's worst nightmare...

And KNOWING YOU'RE ALIVE with Lee Child's Jack Reacher results in revelations for both the injured Dr. Snow, and her unexpected savior/patient...

All the proceeds of the audio book and a share of the proceeds of the ebook will be donated to David Baldacci's Wish You Well Foundation, supporting family literacy. (wishyouwellfoundation.org/)


These characters are the creations, respectively, of NYT bestselling authors Lee Child, Barry Eisler, and Steve Berry, and are used with their full knowledge and participation.


Editorial Reviews

Review

"Jack Reacher, John Rain and Cotton Malone, on the sex therapist's couch. Testosterone therapy as high art. What could be better? One of the most original and well-done series of stories I've ever read. M.J. Rose has blasted this baby to the ozone. I don't care if you download it or listen to it.  just get it."  NYT Bestseller, David Baldacci


"I bet M.J. Rose she couldn't get Jack Reacher into Morgan Snow's office.  I lost.  Find out how." - NYT Bestseller, Lee Child
 
"Seeing another side of Cotton Malone, written from another writer's perspective, was eye opening.  Needless to say, the subject matter is not something Cotton normally deals with, but M.J. made sure he handled it with his usual smooth, Southern style.  I enjoyed the adventure.  You will too."   - NYT Bestseller, Steve Berry
 
"When John Rain considers taking on Dr. Morgan Snow as a client, the danger isn't winding up in a coffin -- it's winding up on the couch.  But I made him take the risk anyway, and it was a blast!"  - NYT Bestseller, Barry Eisler

"Only Dr Morgan Snow (aka MJ Rose) could persuade three of thriller fiction's most charismatic heroes to sit on a sex therapist's couch. The eyebrow-raising results will astonish you - and help raise money for David Baldacci's Wish You Well Foundation." - International Bestesller, David Hewson

From the Author

At the Butterfield Institute Dr. Morgan Snow, one of New York's top sex therapists, sees everything from the abused to the depraved, from couples grappling with sexual boredom to twisted sociopaths with dark, erotic fetishes.

The series includes three novels in addition to this story collection: The Halo Effect, The Delilah Complex, and The Venus Fix. All available in print or ebooks.


Praise for the series:

"M.J. Rose is a bold, unflinching writer and her resolute honesty puts her in a class by herself." -NYT Bestseller, Laura Lippman

"Believable and hair-raising. THE HALO EFFECT will have you on the edge of your seat from page one" --NYT Bestseller,  Katherine Neville

"Characters so real we hear them breathing in our ear... a plot that can only be described as a knockout." -- NYT Bestseller,  Caroline Leavitt 

"The Halo Effect is tense, engrossing, and sometimes so real it's frightening." -- January Magazine

"I dare you to read the first five pages and not be in its thrall...a compulsive artful page-turner." -- NYT Bestseller,  Douglas Clegg

"Interesting.. thrilling... like a femme... Jonathan Kellerman." -- Kirkus Reviews

"M.J. Rose is great!" -- NYT Bestseller, Janet Evanovich

Review: In Session by M.J. Rose
5STARS
What a clever book. Taking characters from different writers interacting with each other characters. On top of that the money goes to a charity Wish you well foundation of David Baldacci. It supports family literacy.
Which I think is a great idea.
Lee Child and Barry Eisler were chatting about Lee's Jack Reacher versus Barry's John Rain. Than M.J. Rose jumped in and said her Dr. Snow would like to shrink them. Later she asked Steve Berry's about his Cotton Malone character too.
Dr. Snow runs into the characters at different places and shrinks them and it all works out. She meets Cotton Malone at his book store. Dr. Snow asks to meet John Rain in the park. Dr. Snow is in her office when she meets Jack Reacher but a bomb just went off and he climbed in to help. I liked all 3 short stories and would love to read more about them. I will look out for their books in the future.
I was given this ebook to read in exchange of honest review from Netgalley.

5.0 out of 5 stars Professional Fan Fiction October 26, 2011
Format:Audible Audio Edition
In Ses­sion by M.J. Rose is a short book which con­tains three short sto­ries. This is a unique book because Ms. Rose uses three fic­tional char­ac­ters of other authors who visit her cre­ation - a sex therapist.

The book con­tains 3 short sto­ries:
Exten­u­at­ing Cir­cum­stances: fea­tur­ing Steve Berry's Cot­ton Mal­one. A woman who wants help for her lover prompts Dr. Snow, sex ther­a­pist, to go over­seas in order to meet with the man.

Deci­sions, Deci­sions: fea­tur­ing Barry Eisler's John Rain. In this story Dr. Snow steps out of her com­fort zone into a world of gray, where the lines between good and evil are intertwined.

Know­ing You're Alive: fea­tur­ing Lee Child's Jack Reacher. Dr. Snow finds an unex­pected sav­ior but doesn't miss the oppor­tu­nity for some one-on-one therapy.

In Ses­sion by M.J. Rose is a like­able book and inter­est­ing as well. The book flatly falls under the cat­e­gory of "fan fic­tion" but it is writ­ten by an estab­lished and suc­cess­ful author.

The com­mon denom­i­na­tor between all sto­ries is Ms. Rose's cre­ation of sex-therapist Dr. Mor­gan Snow who ana­lyzes three famous fic­tional char­ac­ters Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Steve Berry's Cot­ton Mal­one and Barry Eisler's John Rain.

When I read the syn­op­sis for the book, the first thing that came into my mind was how will Ms. Rose come up with rea­sons to put Reacher, the drifter, Mal­one, the covert agent (or for­mer) and Rain, an assas­sin, on a sex therapist's couch?

After all, many men much less for­mi­da­ble than those three would ever agree to such a session.

Ms. Rose actu­ally man­aged to do this. She used var­i­ous cre­ative tech­niques and delv­ing into the char­ac­ters' psy­che and giv­ing them a new dimension.

Over­all, a very inter­est­ing book, a short, quick read and well worth it espe­cially if you are a fan of one or more of the characters.

If you decided to get the audio ver­sion it is nar­rated by Phil Gigante and Natalie Ross. This ver­sion also fea­tures Dick Hill, Scott Brick and Barry Eisler repris­ing their roles of Reacher, Mal­one and Rain.

Pro­ceeds from the audio­book and some from the e-book are going to David Baldacci's Wish You Well Foun­da­tion, which sup­ports fam­ily lit­er­acy

3.0 out of 5 stars In Session... The Doctor Is Not In November 1, 2011
By LnBen
Format:Audible Audio Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
MJ Rose's latest offering, "In Session" is a compilation of three short stories depicting encounters between Dr. Morgan Snow and three of the most complicated and controversial lead characters in today's popular serial thrillers...Steve Berry's Cotton Malone, Lee Child's Jack Reacher and Barry Eisler's John Rain. In one there is a contrived encounter to assist a patient with a communication issue between the patient and her lover. In another, a clandestine meeting is arranged by a patient at the Dr.'s request.This has more to do with Morgan's moral dilemma than revealing any insight into the character' erotic behavior. The final story has a crises at the Butterfield Institute allowing Dr. Snow to have a revealing conversation with the third man.

In theory the book has an interesting premise - renowned sex therapist analyzing three of the most sexually complicated men in thrillers today. Sad to say it falls short. The individual plot lines are interesting and read well. But the actual knowledge the reader gains about the characters runs short. We do learn a secret in Cotton's past and share a memory of a sexual encounter with Jack. The plot is deeper and more intricate in the Rain encounter, however we learn absolutely nothing new about him.

I would have appreciated more shared insight from Dr. Snow. A little more clinical analysis into the deviant and devious sex drives of these men would have made for a more interesting read.(And a lot more fun to know).

In all the book reads well, and does take Dr. Snow out of the office and into unique situations. Is more like 'the adventures of Morgan' than deep understanding into Mallone, Rain and Reacher. To her credit, MJ Rose at the end of the book discusses the "Wish You Well Foundation"; an organization that combats illiteracy in the USA.

I give it 3 stars, not for what it promised but for what it is... an enjoyable, quick afternoon read.
