Summary: What a great book!!!
Review: This is probably the fastest I've ever read a book. It is a real page turner and very shocking. You won't be disappointed! I may even read it again.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good to the last page
Review: This book was a fast and excellent read. Zane took the writing back to the original form of Addicted. I felt for Jonquinette and kept reading to find out what lied in this character. The story was great and kept me thoroughly entertained. I can't wait to read the next in the serious. Zane keeping writing and I will keep reading.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Zane out did herself
Review: I was a little disappointed with, "The Sex Chronicles 1 & 2" but, Nervous was more than just a page turner. If you're looking for an excellent book to read with all kinds of different twist, this is the book for you. I highly reccommend this book to everyone. I have referred the book to 6 of my co-workers and several friends. The book was very well put together. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GOOD TO THE LAST DROP!!
Review: I think this is Zane's best work yet. Originally I didn't have a clue as to what was going on. Multiple personalities? I found myself having fun. I enjoyed keeping up with one person that proved to be three people. This work is funny, yet serious. I would recommend buying this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: WOW...another one shocks me
Review: now i like this because it was unexpected from Zane. it was erotica, however, it was also twisted, suspenseful, educating, rare and good. i thought it was brilliant the way she tapped into the psychological, mentally challenged character and mixed it up with as much spice as she did. i've never read anything like it, i definitley reccommend this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 1 part erotica +1 part psychothriller = another Zane hit
Review: As Ludacris said in a verse from Usher's 2004 hit "Yeah!" most men want a woman who is "a lady in the streets but a freak in the bed". But what happens when one woman is a lady in the street and is a freak, just not in the bed and she doesn't realize it until it's too late?

This paradoxical problem is faced by Jonquinette, the lead character of Zane's novel "Nervous" which is based on a short story from her earlier collection of erotica "The Sex Chronicles". Jonquinette is a shy young woman who finds herself not too inclined to talk to men interested in her. She doesn't consider herself a total virgin but she doesn't find herself wanting to sleep with just anyone, so her life for the most part is dull.

But when the weekend rolls around, Jonquinette goes to sleep and later re-awakens not as Jonquinette, but as a foul-mouthed and sex-obsessed woman named Jude who goes out and finds wanton and virtually unsafe sexual adventures with anyone and everyone she comes in contact with to find a sexual release.

This behavior goes on until Jude goes to sleep and re-awakens again as Jonquinette. Jonquinette realizes that Jude has been up to her old tricks again (leaving hints of her presence and sexual indiscretions)and realizes that this has to come to a stop here and now, so she heads to talk with Dr. Marcella Palmer, who first appeared in the novel "Addicted". When Jude resurfaces later and realizes that Jonquinette has been seeing Dr. Palmer she goes nuts and really goes full throttle on her sexual escapades.

Later, Jonquinette begins to find herself attracted to a new neighbor that moves in next door. While this is a good thing for Jonquinette, Jude detests the romance because she realizes that if Jonquinette settles down with her new love interest then the sexual party is pretty much over. But will Jude do something that will not only have dire consequences for her, but Jonquinette as well?

This book is definitely a unique combination of Zane's trademark incendiary erotica and a case study in what happens to one person when they know that they have multiple personalities (the seemingly passive/submissive Jonquinette and the aggressive/dominate Jude) and how the actions of one affects the other and all those around them.

This is definitely a book that takes two unique topics and combines them nearly effortlessly to form one major hit form the mistress of African-American erotica, Zane.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Renea@netscape.net
Review: Yes, this book was the bomb. It's a trip 'cause I didn't like it in the beginning. Then, as I read more into the novel, I STARTED TO LOVE IT! Way to go Zane. To me, I would have to say this was one of her better novels! A definite page turner! I would recommend this to anyone looking to be seduced with teasing, lustful sex scenes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ZANE CAN'T WRITE A BOOK THAT I WON'T LOVE
Review: Zane is so creative. Only Zane could think of writing a book about a woman that is a freak and thinks she is a virgin at the same time. The story is funny and entertaining. The story is more than what is on the surface. This is a very good read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: zane is off da hook.
Review: For those of you looking for an arotic tale, look no furthur. Zane's books will have you on the edge of your seat. Her imagination is wild. You may even try some of the things that she writes about. Enjoy !!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Black Ink Books
Review: This book is about a woman with unknown multiple personalities. The main character is a complete opposite of her hidden personalities. The hidden personality also has an addiction to sex with multiple men which creates a problem for her alter personality who is a virgin.
This book was a good read and kept me interested and as always with ZANE books there was sex, and a lot of it. I enjoyed the pace of the book and I couldn't wait to find out how the book was going to end, the final hook was a shocker and put that extra cherry on top.
