Book Description
Written by authors from Quebec as well as France, the majority of these stories have been published in the last decade and reflect a rich diversity of styles and themes. From Daniel Boulanger's exploration of revenge and the desire for recognition in The Hunter's Cafe, to Alain Gerber's brief and poetic You Never Die, these stories make excellent reading in any language.

full spectrum of writings and translation.......2003-06-16
The content in the original French ranges from the beautiful "On ne meurt jamais" to the confusing "Le personnage" Some works are interesting but others seem tedious. The collection presents to the reader a wide range of contemporary French literature and, if one is a student, an excellent opportunity to see the French language used in all its various applications. The editor takes the liberty of translating the sense of idiomatic phrases rather than attempting to force the words into something that resembles the original, with mixed results. The longest piece, 'David' is also one of the best, as is 'L'objet d'art'; my favorite 'On ne meurt jamais' made the purchase worthwhile all by itself.

Excellent suggestions!!!!.......2007-09-10
This book is written with a tenderness that is lacking in other books on the subject.
This guide is complete and comprehensive. It breaks down each and every topic into language that the reader can easily understand. So many questions about cunnilingus that you may be too shy to ask, but have always wondered about, and this book answers them! It is an absolute must read for men of all ages. And it is a book that you never stop reading.
It is a definite recommendation for any man who is looking for an updated guide on sexuality and health.
Decent, but Nothing Special.......2007-09-10
You'd think after reading all the 5 star reviews on this book, that it would have amazing secrets that you couldn't find anywhere else. The reality is that all the oral sex books have pretty much the same information, which when you think about it shouldn't be all that surprising. This book is decent, but certainly nothing special. I think you can get better value for your money elsewhere.
Finally A Real Master of Cunnilingus!.......2007-08-17
Thank God someone finally wrote a book about how to do cunnilingus right. It has made me a much better man when it comes to the oral sex. I dont know what i would do without this book. I have recomended it to all my friends and they can't wait to get it.
THE INFORMATION IS THERE, BUT...........2007-04-04
The information is there and can be helpful, but it's sometimes hard to decypher, what with all the typos and grammatical errors. If this book had been properly edited, even by someone with a fifth grade education, it could have been condensed to half its length and still contain all the essential information.
Truly Helpful!.......2007-01-31
This is the kind of advice women want you to know. Everything that you have always wanted to know on how to properly satisfy her can be found in this fantastic book!
From knowing how to give her the best oral sex, to giving her multiple orgasms, this book is a must read!
This is no definitive guide by any means but truly helpful!

Book Description
A very special man is now available.
The Pleasure Master. A man who knows the secrets of a woman's body, who can bring her sensual joy and fulfill her deepest sexual fantasies. Is there a woman alive who wouldn't want to meet him?
Check New York hairdresser Kathy Bartlett off your list. She has enough problems with a rotten ex-husband and a car that's stranded her. Men and cars. Both overheat at the wrong time. She needs a vacation somewhere warm and peaceful, with only subservient males.
Whoever is in charge of wish fulfillment doesn't listen well, because Kathy is suddenly flung back to 1542 Scotland. It's cold, definitely not peaceful, with nary a subservient male in sight. There's only Ian Ross, the Pleasure Master.
Ian's brothers demand that he prove his sexual power by seducing a woman no other man can seduce. Who better than Kathy? She has nothing but contempt for Ian Ross, and as Ian's brothers have discovered, any attempt to woo the lass could put a man's most precious body parts in grievous danger.
Ian accepts the challenge, confident he can seduce any woman, then leave her with his emotions untouched. Kathy remains determined to resist the explosive attraction she feels for Ian. Love won't be denied, but time is an impatient enemy.

Humorous Romp Through Time.......2006-09-19
This is a very humorous time traveling romp from the very modern New York hair stylist's not so wonderful divorced life, to the sexy lair of a 1542 Scotsman. This is a historical time travel like none I have ever encountered. It is different because the author does not waste time trying to develop a good explanation for the time travel nor the fact that a working cell phone in 1542 plays a very humorous part in the story. The reader is simply asked to go along for the ride and if you can suspend your disbelief the author, Nina Bangs, does deliver a "bang" for your buck! (I apologize for the last statement, I couldn't resist).
This is the first book by Nina Bangs that I have read. This was an early book of hers, and almost all of her books appear to have paranormal aspects. This is why there is no attempt at a more "scientific" explanation for the time travel. Her later books, from what I have read, are more about vampires and ware wolfs with a twist, I am looking forward to trying them too.
I enjoyed this book and plan to read more of her work. I liked the sexual tension that the author builds skillfully, and the characters, though eccentric were endearing. Peter, a talking toy robot, the source of Kathy of Hair's time travel, is both humorous and not a little creepy. The cell phone exchanges between Kathy's hardened New York divorce attorney and the Neanderthal brother of the Pleasure master were laugh out loud (enabling me to forget the obvious problem I would normally have with a working cell phone in the highlands of Scotland, much less the 16th century).
I would have liked to see more description of Scotland and the political aspects of the time. More details on how a modern women would deal with the inconveniences during that time period would have been interesting, and yes slightly more sex (there is not as much as the cover would have you believe). Perhaps to add to the books many humorous movie quotes "a little less talk and a little more action".
Still I would recommend this book to a person wanting to spend a rainy afternoon with a good read. If you like Scotsman, sexual tension, and time travel, do what I did, lie back and let the Pleasure Master have its way with you.
Cute, but..........2006-06-18
Bought the book when I saw the cover...interesting. The story was OK and I enjoyed it once I got into it, but there were so many unbelievable things that wouldn't really happen in time travel, like Kathy's phone working in 1542. Kathy appeared a little ditsy in the first part of the book. Loved the way Peter would always use movie quotes throughout the story and Ian's cat was an interesting character. The biggest disappointment to me was the ending...felt like it was a cop-out. It left me hanging on what happened to Ian. The author should have gone into detail about what Ian experienced at the end.
i want my money back............2006-03-19
this book is a complete waste of money, though not too much time, as i only read the first 60 pages when i finally dumped it. if you are not a teenager, save your money. the story is so stupid, it reminds me of reading a kid's short story. i love time travel, but there is a lot of garbage out there, and this tops the list. unbelievable characters with no depth, the cell phone works in the year 1542, and the hero is supposed to be a sex expert who's sole job is pleasing all women? gag me with a spoon. this should come with suggested reading ages.
Review Pleasure Master.......2006-03-10
It was an enjoyable book. I've liked some of Nina Bangs other books better. The time travel element was greatly entertaining and wouldn't you just know, Ganymeade has a part in it.
One of the funniest time travel romances!!!.......2005-03-08
It's been a while since I read this novel, but it has stuck in my mind. Loved the plot, loved the characters, and loved the fact that somehow Bangs made me believe in the fact that even though the heroine traveled back in time, she could still use her cell phone. If you love timetravel romances, this is one that you should not pass up.

Above average.......2007-04-30
I just read this book last night and I really liked it (I finished it in one reading). The characters are fun, the story is romantic and their are some good erotic parts. All in all, I think it was pretty good and worth reading. It's not the best I've ever read but its definitely above average (I read 3 to 4 books every week). I don't understand the bad reviews here. If you like romance, you'll like this book.
Great Cover - Strong Characters -.......2007-03-20
Master Of Pleasure by Jessica Trapp is a 1470 romance novel. Meiriona is engaged to Godric but her father sells him into slavery. He returns and kidnaps Meiriona - lots of great tests of will. Overall a good romance but not my favoriate time period.
I loved this book! .......2006-06-26
Full of intrigue and adventure it draws you into the time period with strong characters and vivid descriptions. Betrayed at the altar, Godric is sold into slavery by Meiriona's father, who refuses to allow his daughter to marry a Yorkist. Five year's later, Godric returns, determined to seek revenge and claim what is rightfully his. He kidnaps Meiriona and the adventures begin. I especially enjoyed the `Lady Godiva' type scene, when Meiriona defies Godric and walks through the courtyard, adorned only by her beautiful, long hair.
Say what again? 4 stars - I think not!.......2006-04-08
When you purchase a book titled MASTER OF PLEASURE, you expect a pretty riveting read, to say the least...this book is not. It's not even very romantic.
It's not that it's badly written -- it's a very readable book -- but it's so -- mediocre. There is nothing particularly original about this story (the author's first). There are flashes of interesting dialog, such as when the hero says he thinks he was thrown away by God, or when the heroine thinks that her sexual feelings for the hero are wicked. But these flashes of originality are just not followed up. The romance is pretty standard fare; if you've read a great many romances, you'll be finding some familiar scenarios and characters.
The author had a great opportunity, given the hero's history of enslavement in a Turkish harem, to give her "woo-hoo" scenes some unique "umph", but this is never built upon. (You're told the hero was a sex slave, and later we learn that he brought back some toys, and that's it. He does use the toys on the heroine, in their one & only sex scene, but in what I can only call a blase sort of way. Emma Holly, this isn't!)
As a revenge plot, the story never took off either. The hero kidnaps the heroine, in revenge for the enslavement he experienced thanks to her father's machinations -- but her family is, like, OK with the fact that she's kidnapped -- there's no effort to get her back! Even when her little brother follows her, no one from her family (including her husband?) gives enough of a damn to send out a negotiator?
Even the time period isn't well utilized. It's set in the Wars of the Roses, but it might just as well have been William the Conqueror's time, or any medieval period, for all this exciting historical period is brought forward.
And there was definitely something weird about the heroine's husband (her uncle, no less) who keeps saying at the end, "I loved you" -- about the heroine's FATHER. Just a tad yucky there!
As a freshman romance writing effort, it's not all bad, but I think the author needs to develop her own voice. I kept thinking she was making the mistake of reading other writer's romances while trying to write this -- because it all seemed so familiar.
What a Pleasure to read.......2006-02-19
Jessica Trapp has produced a sensual, riveting novel full of intrique,, revenge and love.
On what he thought would be his wedding day, Godric instead finds himself taken captive and sold into slavery. He spends the next five years as a sex slave to a sheik's daughter. After fathering her child, he and the baby are set free and he is off to seek his revenge.
On what is supposed to be her second wedding day, Lady Meiriona finds herself taken captive and carted off to Godric's home.
Will these two star-crossed lovers overcome the pain of the past to find happiness? Of course! But Ms. Trapp sets up fun and sensual bumps in the road for them along the way.

Customer Reviews:
Lifeless!.......2007-08-21
I bought this book based on the glowing reviews from other customers and was highly disappointed. The story was utterly boring and the characters passionless. I am a voracious reader and this is truly the only time I can recall feeling completely indifferent about both main characters, I mean usually I at least connect with and like one of them!
The romance in this book was nonexistent, just a lot of boring talk about the psychology behind the main characters need to be a submissive. I am a fan of erotic romance and have enjoyed books similarly themed to this one in the past but this one just fell flat. I would recommend spending your hard earned $13 dollars on a different book.
Incredibly erotic and wildly romantic - with lots of kiny sex!.......2005-08-12
This story has all the elements I look for in romantic-erotic fiction: The characters are complex, intelligent and absorbing, the writing vivid and sensual, the unfolding storyline compelling. Though it is as kinky and sexy as anyone could possibly wish, the context in which these wild sexual adventures occur is romantic, loving and tender. Unusually provocative and informative for this genre, Julian Masters takes the reader on a journey into the darker side of human sexuality - revealing the courage it takes to explore our deepest desires.
I could not help comparing this story to the S&M classic "Story of O", though they are very different books. Where Pauline Reage's O is manipulated by aloof, domineering men who are essentially afraid to love her; in Kate, Julian Masters gives us a submissive heroine we can respect and admire. Kate makes informed choices and she surrenders her body, heart and mind from a place of trust and mutual understanding.
Every scene, no matter how shocking, has a purpose, as James guides Kate through successive submissive experiences that only ever enhance her self-esteem. Kate is trained to pleasure as she gradually loses her inhibitions and learns to trust James ever more deeply - surprisingly we realise that the pleasure James trains her to surrender to is her own!
Anyone considering exploring their submissive desires should read this book, but even more I recommend it wholeheartedly to those who would be dominant! In James we at last have a dominant character who combines authority and virility with sensitivity and passion - a man who demands obedience but who is at the same time a generous and tender lover.
A very sensual, pleasurable and erotic romance!

BOOK DESCRIPTION.......2002-06-19
HIDDEN BEDROOM PARTNERS: NEEDS AND MOTIVES THAT DESTROY SEXUAL PLEASURE
There is a new and dangerous phenomenon creeping into the modern bedroom. Millions of couples are having sex when they really want and need something else--affection, intimacy, reassurance, revenge, escape from boredom or to express anger. The authors have coined the term "nonsexual sex" to describe this practice of using sex as a vehicle to express or satisfy emotional needs that should be kept out of the bedroom.
Most couples are not aware that they are using sex in this way, and the danger is that sex can never satisfy nonsexual needs. Thus, the couple is left feeling frustrated, unfulfilled or that something is wrong or missing in their sex lives. They think they have a sex problem or that sex is not all it is supposed to be. In fact, it is not, and the authors present convincing arguments that sexual satisfaction can be increased a hundredfold in most relationships.
This book is a guide for discovering "sexual sex"--intense, pleasurable sex, free of hidden emotional needs. Each chapter describes one of these needs, its whys, wherefores and deleterious effects. Exercises, homework assignments, preventive measures, and other solutions are suggested for correcting the problem or improving an already good relationship. The authors also tell us, in fascinating detail, how we have learned to misuse sex and why we continue to do so.

Book Description
Charged with recovering The Shintae, an ancient relic of mystical properties, the Maraén warrior, Kaér, is surprised by the enemy and, almost within reach of safety, he is left for dead. The object is taken from him and once more he must travel deep into the Cantaén Mountains. There, with his companion Angharad, he faces great danger, adventure, and all-out war before his arduous task can be completed. Standing in his way is Sartae, an antagonist whose evil ambitions know no bounds, a leader whose cruelty and hatred is legendary. As the mission progresses, they receive help from the most unlikely of sources, but in the end, they must use all their skill and knowledge to keep themselves alive. As the venture races to its explosive climax, even this may not prove sufficient.

In this upbeat look at a world that isn't as far removed from us as we might think, Sylvia Browne answers the big questions we all ask at one point or another: "What are angels?" "What happens when we die?" and "What are ghosts?" While The Other Side and Back may pacify your curiosity about the spirit realm, it also offers a cure to the cynicism that plagues us every day. Surprisingly, this book feels much more personal than Browne's biographical Adventures of a Psychic, perhaps because of the conversational, first-person narrative that brings the spirit world down to earth without diminishing its uniqueness. --Brian Patterson
Book Description
World-famous psychic and New York Times bestselling author Sylvia Browne takes readers on an unprecedented and comprehensive "tour" of the afterlife-a world-changing revelation that has helped millions live for today, tomorrow, and forever...
Includes
how spirit guides and angels "talk" to us daily
the truth about ghosts and hauntings
solving "unsolvable" missing persons cases
how psychic energy can keep people healthy and improve relationships
why we shouldn't fear aging and death
must-read predictions for the new millennium
and more
"Psychic, medium, clairvoyant, channel-these are all words to describe Sylvia Browne's unique powers. I've personally witnessed her bring closure to distraught families, help the police close cases, and open people's hearts to help them see the good within themselves."-Montel Williams
"The Other Side and Back is the most grounded and authentic 'entry to the other side' that I have ever read. You know immediately upon reading the first few pages that Sylvia Browne is more than a psychic-she is a master at conveying the truth that exists in the fourth dimension." -Caroline Myss, Ph.D., author of Anatomy of the Spirit

Great Book. .......2007-07-13
I loved this book. It was one of many of Sylvia's books I purchased. She gives the readers hope and joy. I would recommend this book because it is wonderful insight. She knows what she is talking about and expresses it very well.
Full of information.......2007-05-14
I actually read this as a library book and loved it so much I had to buy it! It is full of information and I learned so much. There are so many things that Syliva says in the book that you feel in your heart are the truth.
Mark D. Hyde, Author of "Coloring Outside the Lines: One Gay Man's Journey to Self-Acceptance & Spiritual Awakening.......2007-04-12
After losing my mother in a tragic car accident in 2003, I started looking for books that would help me deal with her death. I had lost other loved ones, but as a gay man, when you lose your mother, it's a tough pill to swallow. Sylvia Browne's Book, The Other Side and Back was exactly what I needed. I love her informative and candid demeanor. It was as if this book was written specifically for me. Some three years later I have written my own book about the loss of my mother, my complete acceptance of who I am, and my longing to live the most rewarding life possible. In my book, I quote Sylvia Browne, "the toughest part is leaving the people in our lives better for having known us, without sacrificing ourselves in the process." What a powerful insight! Sylvia's book is a must for any person who longs for their true purpose and the real meaning behind this journey we call life.
changed my life.......2007-03-10
THis book changed my life...it opened my eyes up to a way of thinking that i hadnt considered before...For anyone who "knows" there is much more than the physical..and someone who is open to alternative explainations..I highly sugggest you read this book..not necessarily to accept all of it, just read it..take what feels good..let new ideas open your heart..and explore that. This book opened my heart to what I now know is my own truth..I never would have been open to it had I not been exposed to sylvia...
Amazing, and helpful!.......2007-01-04
First of all I love Sylvia Brown and all of her books that I have read. She is so helpful the way she describes life and death, and eases our mind of how we feel about our loved ones that have passed, and she also informs us of how to live a good life, and the real meaning of spirituality! I have always beleived in God, but she has information that will completely give you a different outlook on our life here on earth, and why we are here, and where we will go after death, if you have any loved ones that have passed on, you need to read this book!
