Summary: This book was OK
Review: Actually I'll give it a 3 1/2.It was a quick and good read.It just wasn't what I expected.Yea it had drama but some parts you'd be like .... yeah right.Tomalis's character was a good guy and you don't find too many people like him but the author could have put a little more history out there on Tomalis and his wife Zetta.I mean were they ever happy and why did he stay married to her all that time if she was sleeping with every Tom,Dick,and Harry lol I mean really though.I figured she might have been that way because he didn't pay much attention to the family while trying to run Wolfe Industries but then again Zetta just like sleeping around.The book had some funny parts.I just feel like the author should have gave more history about each character like why Anastasia and her sister Shakia where sleeping around with everyone trying to make quick money,I mean did something happen to them to make them act that way or do they just like being that way.Diana's history was told which to me was understandable on why she act the way she did.She was kind of shallow but then she got to know Edmund but you have to read the book to see why she had a change of heart.I couldn't stand Bradford,he thought it was all about him and Chico's character was ok.This was kind of like a soap opera and Im glad that Tomalis had his day although it should have been sooner.Chico learned his lesson.For those that don't know what I'm talking about read the book and those who read it know but overall it was an ok read.This is the second book by zane that I've read and I look forward to reading more of her books.I read Shame On It All and I thought that was a good one.Im looking forward to reading Addicted and Nervous!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I really enjoyed the drama!
Review: Although this book started out kind of slow, I really enjoyed it. Zane has become one of my favorite authors and I have not been disappointed yet.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Can't get into it
Review: As I sat down to unwind and read Zane's newest installment, I found myself becoming disappointed with every page. The characters are blah and so is the pretentious story line. I'm becoming worried about Zane's abilites to entertain "US" (her fans) with her story telling. But I'll keep the faith...a little while longer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HEAT
Review: EVERYTHING ZANE WRITES IS BREATHTAKING. YOU CAN'T JUST READ A LITTLE AT A TIME, YOU CAN'T PUT IT DOWN. YOU EAT AND SLEEP WHATEVER IT IS YOUR READING. I FIND MYSELF KEEPING THE NEXT BOOK A SECRET UNTIL I READ IT FIRST. ZANE'S BOOKS KEEP YOU IN PURE HEAT. ANY BOOKS ASSOCIATED WITH ZANE, MY BOOK CLUB READS, JUST KNOWING THAT ZANE IS ASSOCIATED WITH IT IT'S A GUARANTEED SALE. ALL ZANE WORK IS OFF THE CHAIN. ZANE BOOKS ARE A COLLECTORS ITEMS.

Summary: WHEW!!!
Review: Here's another hot one from the queen of erotica! In this sizzling novel, she takes us into the world of Wolfe Industries, introducing us all to a cast of characters we won't soon forget:

Chico - Mailroom clerk extraordinaire, the highlight of his workday is visiting the "honeys" in the secretarial pool; that is, until he starts sexing the wife of the owner of the corporation....

Anastasia - Part of the secretarial pool, she prides herself on looking "fine" at all times...but looking this good costs a lot of money, so Anastasia does what she must to pick up a little extra on the side....

Bradford - Executive at Wolfe Industries and known as Tomalis Wolfe's "right hand man," he's got an agenda of his own; he's also the benefactor of Anastasia's beauty expense account.....

Diana - Executive Assistant to Bradford, she's had it with his sexual harrassment. She's decided to gather a little evidence of her own..and finds even more than she ever expected.....

Zetta - Gorgeous, nymphomaniac wife of Tomalis Wolfe, she may very well have bedded every heterosexual male in the Industry. But every dog has it's day......

Tomalis - Don't feel sorry for this gorgeous hunk of man. He has everyone's number....and they'll all find out at the annual Christmas Party!

By no means your conventional holiday tale, Zane delivers to her fans a titillating novel that will certainly make your toes curl......

Summary: A Very Satifsying Page Turner
Review: I have read all of Zane's novels and although I don't think that this one is the best, I think that it was an excellent novel. It had just the right amount of sex, drama and more drama.

The story reloves around the Tomilas Wolfe and his corporation. He has loads of money but he still cannot find happiness with his wife Zetta who does nothing but spend up his money and cheats on him with other men. He finally feels like enough is enough and is ready to make a change in his life that doesn't involve Zetta.

Chico is an employee of Tomilas Wolfe and he works in the mailroom. Chico is only 19 but he has big responsiblities of taking care of his daughter and also his mother. But somehow he gets caught up in the webs of Zetta Wolfe and he soon finds out that its not good to think with the wrong head.

Diane is another employee of Mr. Wolfe and she is determined to make her twin boys have a very merry christmas. She works over-time for a supervisior that is constantly harassing her and she begins to have feelings for one of her co-workers(even though she hasn't been in a relationship for 13 years). Someone special pops up after many years and forces her to rethink a lot of things.

Anastatia, yet another employee of Tomilas Wolfe, is young and trying to get all the money she can to buy all the materialistic things. She has a little business going on with another one of her co-workers enabling them to make a good amount of money on the side. But she has a bigger plan and that is to take Tomilas Wolfe away from his wife and to become his 2nd wife.

Like I said this isn't one of Zanes best novels but I really did enjoy it. I was up late at night reading about all the drama going on with these characters. I also liked the fact that the story was set around the workplace.Not everyone was friends with each other which made it interesting. I could also relate to the novel because it is set in Washington D.C. PIck this up for a good read. Zane also adds two short storys that are off the chains and there is another little surprise in there for those that are a little on the wild side

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Pretty Bad
Review: I have to agree with Dennis Graham from NC, he is exactly right.
I read it in one day, but it was horrible. I felt like i was reading a soap opera. A bad one.
The characters re extremely shallow.
The reason I give it two starts, is because Zane must know her audience will read it. She gices people what they want. Sex, lifestyles of the rich, and fantasies that they can win the lottery, and live happily ever after

Tomalis, was so unbelievable, so far fetched. What was the catalyst that made him start to questiojn his life? Why would he stay with his wife all those years? (which is unbelievable itself?) How did they meet? were they ever happy?
I also agree, why would he put chico out like that, then want him to be his heir??? Not a possible heir, but just hand it to a 19 year old.

The son being so callous towards his mother. Please. I dont think so.

His wife was a flat cardboard black alexis carrington. What woman would be stupid enough to let the limo driver know all her business?
With todays technology, Tomalis could not get video of her in the act before now?
Then chico turns into a virginal person with his next girlfriend?? Please. It was not that traumatic.

Just so many HUGE problems with this book. After reading it , i think "anybody can write a book".

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Shocked
Review: I love ZANE, but this is her worst in my opinion. I was so excited when I recieved it. I hated it. I liked the tips at the end though.
