This is the first time I have ever written a review about a book. I started reading it around 8 PM and could not put it down until I finished it at 3 AM the next morning. It's a wonderful sharing of intimate sexual and personal experiences with her "naughty boyfriends". The candid and honest manner in which she wrote about her situations are a tribute to her writing ability and the real person she must be. I congratulate her and hope she will continue to do more writing and share her thoughts with people like me. So now I know what probably happens many times in the difficult dating world we live in.

"Naughty Boyfriends" by Jade is a touching story about never-ending quest for happiness. We all want to be loved and desired, so does Jade. She takes you into her childhood where she desperately seeks father's approval and his tenderness, but instead faces a constant change of countries, schools, cultures, all consuming feeling of loneliness and fear of not being enough. She pours her heart on paper and you feel like you have just witnessed a confession. It is moving, dynamic, engaging, and thrilling. Excitements is mixed with disappointment, love is mixed with sex, and sadness is mixed with happiness. Jade takes you through paths of life that not every woman discovered or is aware of. The book is so real that you can't help, but give in to the rollercoaster ride. Pain stays with you even as the sun rises promising a new day...

This is an engaging and entertaining memoir by a young woman who was looking for true romance in the wilds of Silicon Valley and found something better, herself. The author is an honest spirit and cosmopolitan Californian, combining intelligence with a quest for self-improvement.
Reading her book is like hearing an all-night confession from a great friend--maybe a great friend that you secretly have the hots for.
It's a treat, only partly because of the judiciously juicy bits. Oh and by the way, that's her picture on the cover.

This is kind of a mid life crisis memoir from a woman's perspective--something we don't usually read about. When Jade enters the San Francisco dating world after years spent raising kids and working on a career, she has one misadventure after another. She certainly seems to have a type: younger, flashy guys, sometimes married, usually with some sort of drama. She's looking for Mr. Right, her soulmate, but always ends up with Mr. Wrong, sometimes jailbait. A lot of this is very funny. It's worth buying the book just to read about the tantric crystal cock alone. But there's also a lot of sadness: A heartbreaking childhood, abusive boyfriends, substance abuse. Yet through it all, Jade remains indomitable. She pushes on, picks herself off of the floor and keeps on trying. What more can we ask?

Jade writes with such open honesty and candor that makes this book a you just can't put it down read. She really does grasp the heart and soul of all women who have felt the intense and sometimes consuming longing to just be loved and cherished and instead are often met only by men who use and abuse them and then leave them feeling empty and alone in the aftermath of another unfulfilling relationship. Jade takes you through her life from a young girl's broken heart of this love longed for and not felt from her father to a beautiful and successful woman who has it all except that love she still is longing for and seems to keep just eluding her grasp. Through it all, she leaves you with the hope and peace that life bitter or sweet is meant to be embraced and felt to the fullest... that "the brilliant sun rises in all the colors of our lives" and that love will come in it's own time and place if we are just willing to step out and take the chance to find it.

Love this book! A candid look at how the absence of a father in a young girls life can send her on a reckless path. Jade desperately looks to find the one true love that keeps eluding her. With each failed relationship the pain of Jades childhood comes crashing down on her. Through time Jade realizes the connection of her childhood and emerges stronger and more confident. I wonder what new chapters could be added to this book. This is a great book for fathers with daughters and girls who have grown up missing their fathers......Love you Jade!!!

Think "My Horizontal Life" but with a higher spiritual and romantic purpose. This book makes for a great vacation read or entertaining escape from your own life. Jade's romantic escapades take her between the sheets and around the world as she encounters an ever growing cast of colorful characters. I wonder where her journeys will take her next...

When I started reading this book I read it straight through with out putting it down! Jade reveals her past in order to find herself with plenty of dark parallel universes and desperate details along the way. What's great about each story is their raw geniune pain that almost feels torturous to the reader. I ached for Jade, laughed, and felt the chill of the morgue and,Oh my God! the heat from that Crystal Cock! The ego is quite clearly a fearful thought and it comes out screaming in this book. While losing her own power, she harnesses it, she learns to trust her abandoned soul just as it is....perfect.

I am a woman in San Francisco suffering my own trials and tribulations of dating. I think that Jade brought to light the fantasy, humor, joy, and heartbreak in contemporary "city" relationships! Her vignettes are like fables. It is told through the eyes of a woman searching for her soul and her soulmate, and I was brought to tears. Great read!

I really enjoyed reading this book. Jade's attention to detail and wicked sense of humor throughout made this book a straight read, no dust collecting for this one! So many of us have walked similar paths but never dare to share... Her roller coaster journey was well documented without the usual sugar coating. Both hopefully refreshing well as raw at times. Fiction vs autobiography? It matters not! Highly recommend this book!
