1.0 out of 5 stars cute idea, but doesn't work, June 6, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Kathryn in the City: Create Your Own Erotic Fantasy (Paperback)

I thought this would be cute, but it was irritating to read and pretty shallow. SM is a bad choice, normal dull things turn out good. A disappointment.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very sexy, June 20, 2003

Cindy W. (San Francisco) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kathryn in the City: Create Your Own Erotic Fantasy (Paperback)

Ugh - hated this, was sorry I bought it. Really hard to follow, almost like a bad homework assignment, full of trivia and backtracking and looking things up. I like both romance and erotic books, and this one fits neither category, it's just a commerical come-on, and not sexy enough to hold your interest. Avoid at all costs!

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful, June 20, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Kathryn in the City: Create Your Own Erotic Fantasy (Paperback)

Sounds cute, reads badly. There's nothing interesting sexually in this book, just things you've read before written in a dull manner, with an unbelievable story line no matter which route you take.
