4.0 out of 5 stars Captures the essence of submission
From the very beginning, I idenified with Julia. This story was different from so many others on the subject because it dealt with love through submission. The first half of the book is good; the last half confused me a little. A third person, Laura, is introduced into their relationship, and Julia has no problem with this. I guess I'm old fashioned, but jealousy...

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't be fooled by the summary on the back
I was a bit disappointed with this book. The description of the book did not match the actual story. First of all, this book simply can not be compared to the Story of O and if that is what you are looking for go elsewhere. The idea of the story was great...love is a necessary part of submission, but I felt the writing was choppy and elementary.

4.0 out of 5 stars Captures the essence of submission, June 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Julia (Paperback)
From the very beginning, I idenified with Julia. This story was different from so many others on the subject because it dealt with love through submission. The first half of the book is good; the last half confused me a little. A third person, Laura, is introduced into their relationship, and Julia has no problem with this. I guess I'm old fashioned, but jealousy runs through my veins and I could never be as accepting as she. Also, why is it that most D/s novels feature relationships like this, not completely committed? Well, besides that, I liked the book. It is very erotic, and if you are into dominance and submission, you will enjoy it. I especially recommend it to submissive women, because it is written from that point of view.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coming to terms with submission, July 24, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Julia (Paperback)
Julia is an intelligent story of a young woman's introduction to submission. Julia's protrayal is realistic and struck me as very sensitive to the issues and emotions encountered throughout her journey. The book is well written and the main character is touching in her earnest pursuit happiness.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Romantic and Erotic...what a wonderful Combination, October 13, 2000
This review is from: Julia (Paperback)
I love it when a writer can combine BDSM with romance. So many writers forget that BDSM is so much more wonderful when the romance is intermingled....and that's just what this novel does. It's not very long...only 172 pages, but it holds your interest from the very beginning. Definitly a chick novel, but one that explores submission and the variety of characters that you find in the scene. I really enjoyed it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A keeper...., July 14, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Julia (Paperback)
I really liked this book. Had all the elements and sex a book like this needs. I didn't mind the introduction of Laura any more than Julia did. Very exciting, very sexual, a keeper.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally Hot, February 17, 2001
By 
Patty Nicholson (Watertown, Ma USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Julia (Paperback)
This book was great. I read it in a day at work. I loved it. It's everything I wanted myself and was lucky enough to find. Love and caring are a big thing and mixed with a scene relationship is very powerful. This book had just the right mix. Although still a "chick" book it still had a lot of the scene in it. I highly recommend it!!!
