Book Description

Publication Date: March 17, 2005

A SEXY FEMME NOIR OF A FEMALE 007! Laurel and her husband Mark live a normal life, till one day Laurel suddenly changes. For reasons she can not explain to herself Laurel finds herself with an uncontrollable compulsion to seek out men for sex. One break in her seemingly ordinary existence leads to another, and in an explosive argument with her husband, Laurel is stunned when Mark says their daughter is not his child. Soon, Laurel has been reunited with friends and family she does not remember, and a Dr. Celeste Morrow, who Laurel learns is her sister. Using hypnotherapy Celeste restores Laurel's memories of her real life, identity and purpose. Laurel discovers she is a member of the "Sisterhood", a bloodline of women whose history of seduction and murder reach back over 500 years. The Sisterhood has been waiting for her return, for only Laurel has the skill to assassinate a sinister but enigmatic Hitlerian madman, who intends to rid the world of undesirables and replace them with a perfect race sired with the aid of his harem of exotic women. To stop him, Laurel will have to infiltrate his organization, gain his trust, and ultimately his love. Though Laurel still has doubts, she agrees - for the Sisterhood holds her daughter as "insurance" that Laurel will carry out the mission. *** The digital version of The Sisterhood Book I: The Seduction of Laurel is an AMAZON.COM bestseller! ***

This review is from: The Sisterhood Book 1: The Seduction of Laurel (Paperback)

"Calnin's writing is powerful, fluid and haunting. When it comes to writing Killer Sex, Christine Calnin takes no prisoners."

--- Steve Trotter, author of THE NATIONAL TRUTH

_____________________________________________

"This book sizzles. Christine Calnin has mastered an art form, erotica, that so many have tried - and not been able to crack the code. "Seduction of Laurel" is a great read. I defy anyone to pick it up and put it down before you have finished the book. It's simply that good."

--- Terry Brejla, author of The Don DeCarlo thriller series and Reviewer for the SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

_____________________________________________

"I felt stunned after I finished it and want to go back and reread it. The twists & turns along the way made it hard to put down. During the hypnosis session, you almost could visualize the scene and events as if you were there.

I can honestly say I can not wait to see what Calnin comes up with next. She did a great job with the ending - leaving the reader wanting more - guessing - the comments about the "lies." Calnin also did a good job building the suspense up for the next characters especially "Madame Murder" . The little glimpses of her throughout the book me feel like I wanted to know more.

"Calnin's novel was chosen as our March Book Club pick and was a hit!"

--- Susanne Kufahl, owner BUFFALO BOOKS, Wisconsin

_____________________________________________

"Christine Calnin keeps the sexual encounters sizzling but doesn't allow them to get in the way of the page turning plot.

She also manages to be titillating without being embarrassing. A good read for the beach or the airport, if you dare!"

--- A. Nicholls, Attorney

This review is from: The Sisterhood Book 1: The Seduction of Laurel (Paperback)

This book has everything. It's seductive, it's mysterious, it's sexy, it's heart-wrenching, it's breath-taking and adventurous. Everything you could want wrapped into one book. When I was reading it, I couldn't put the book down! I was drawn to the writing by it's twists and turns and enchanted by the characters and especially a love-story unlike any other. I would recommend this book to anyone.
