An Innocent Obsession, Reviewed by Donna Tubbs

This book is intriguing, confusing, and frustrating! The exquisite writing of this author leads us to believe that we are reading about a very shallow, domineering, nymphomaniac. She journeys from one sexual episode to another. With her domineering actions and manipulative ways, she gets what she thinks she wants although her thoughts give the reader a hint at how confused she really is.

Like many people, Clairse tries to find happiness in the arms of many men, only to feel unfulfilled later. She has many lovers and a stalker (or secret admirer!), who has been leaving ‘notes of conscious’ on her personal belongings. The reader can tell that someone is trying to help her get in touch with her darker side… but she doesn’t know she has one.. yet! The transformation begins to happen when Clarise meets Henry, the local tobacco retailer. She has an ugly spill from her bike and is carried by loving hands to his back room. When she regains consciousness, she finds some intriguing leather items hanging from the wall. Thus her “innocent obsession” with submission begins. Clarise runs from her true feelings. She, like most women, shows her dominant side just to find happiness. She finally comes to realize that love is a risk and trust a valued commodity that every submissive must possess.

Finding that special person is hard for all of us. Funny how frustrating it is finding that special person, especially when they all look so good and tempting from where we stand ... but, oh, how rewarding it can be when he/she is finally found. This book pulled me into Clarise’s frustration, hope, anguish, longing… all in search of what she desires! And, oh, what torment she receives when she finds the wrong man! A suspenseful erotica story!! A story that is hard to put down for very long.
