5.0 out of 5 stars
one of my top ten
The Price of Passion was hands down, well, at least one of them, the best erotic novel of this or any year.

Passion vs. Desire,
This review is from: The Price of Passion (Paperback)
Wells has a beautiful way with language, and it's unfortunate how short this novel is and how flat certain passages are. I believe Wells was trying to convey how Simone felt disconnected to her family and to her own passions through the language, but somehow it just didn't connect for me. I think the story is marvelous and full of potential. I was reminded of Violette Leduc's "Therese and Isabelle" somewhat. And I heartily identified with the idea that through forgiveness for familial abandonment one finds peace and passion. I hope Wells only improves from here.

Jess Wells has always been an extraordinary writer, but with The Price of Passion she moved into the rarified circle of the great authors, those who can capture a character, a setting, an event, an emotion, with complete care and utter mastery.
