3.0 out of 5 stars
Joey Hill is a treasure, January 9, 2007
This review is from: Virtual Reality (Paperback)
but this is not her best book. I liked it, but wasn't passionate about it. It was something about the hero being so bruised in his former relationship and lacking affection/warmth in this one. He was dominant sexually but not open emotionally and so while he felt like a real person - I think there are probably a lot of male doms out there like him - I didn't warm to him. I guess part of you always wants to fall in love with the hero. I didn't here, so it's only 3 stars, but Joey Hill is an excellent writer and her misses are better than many people's hits.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An erotic love story to touch your heart, January 3, 2007
This review is from: Virtual Reality (Paperback)
Joey Hill has an incredible gift for telling the heartwrenching story of dmaged souls who find redemption through their love. For Mark and Nicole this means making an unrestricted commitment to each other., Nicole finds this much easier, although she is the shy partner in the relationship. Mark has lost his ability to trust. At all. To read how Nicole convinces himself of what they can have together, how he tests her, pushes her, until he realizes what a gift she is to him, is a wonderful journey. As with the Ice Queen/Mirror of My Soul combination, I dare the reader to finish this story with dry eyes. Do not miss this novel. It's a Must Buy.

Intriguing personalities!, September 3, 2007
This review is from: Virtual Reality (Paperback)
I love this author, and have resolved to read everything that she has written. This story, like all of her others, involves a BDSM lifestyle, but like all her stories, it is the characters and their problems that are at the root of the story.
In this story, a troubled engineer and a shy, missish- woman, both overcome their inhibitions to find happiness as a couple. They meet online. The engineer is a sexual dominant but also someone with a troubled past, a past that doesn't allow him to trust very well. The 'shy kitten', the woman that he meets online is someone who he helps, at first, gain confidence in herself as a woman. He makes her change her hair, and wear more feminine clothes, all things that make her feel more confident and aware of hereself as a woman. She finally gathers the courage to seek him out and confront him in person. She takes the risk to explore what it takes to make their relationship real.
Like others of this author's works, this is a very moving story about two troubled people who help each other find fulfillment. I"m not sure why I ddin't give it 5 stars. Probably because I wasn't compelled to read it over again just after putting it down, as I have been with some of her other books. IT is very well done, though
