Summary: nervous
Review: This book was so good. I wish I would have brought this book when it first came out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Can't put it down!
Review: First of all, if you wrote a bad review for this book because its too "raunchy", you're FIRED!!! Its called erotica. Zane, keep doing the damn thang girlfriend. This book was really good. And there's a suprise at the end of the book that I would have never guessed. I recommend to anyone who likes erotic to read all of Zane's books.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Interesting
Review: The book was very interesting. I thought Jude was of the hook and Mason is the man I have been looking for. My only problem with the book is it seemed that towards the end it seemed like Zane rushed the ending.

Summary: ZANE IS HOT! NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT!
Review: In my opinion, Nervous was just as creative, fun, and a page turner as any other book Zane has written. The thought of Jonquiette, the main character, having multiple personalities is hard to belive but Zane makes you REALLY BELIEVE. If you like erotica and stories that make you say "DAMN!", this is the story and author for you. It's both "off the chain" and a page turner. I read it in 2 days and believe me, I'm a busy person!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: And I was being nice
Review: This was the first Zane novel I read and "disappointed" is not a strong enough word for what I felt when I finally closed it. I read the whole thing in one sitting because I was getting my hair braided at the time, otherwise the book would have gone flying out of a window somewhere. It had no point...at all. Everything was so far-fetched. But, all that aside- why is she so vulgar? Sex can be described as something fiercely enjoyable without being so crass. I found the story to be utterly tasteless and poorly written. I tried to give her a chance because of all the rants and raves about her but I think I have had enough already.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What the...?
Review: WARNING!! If you want to enjoy Nervous, don't read anything else by Zane. Otherwise you'll be incline to look at the cover to just make sure you're not reading the same book twice. I mean, what was this? I felt like I was reading Addicted again, only with different character names. Everything else was the same - same plot, same solution, same outcome. I've heard that she's a accomplished writer, but she definitely didn't accomplish much with this one. As Zane would say, "Shame on it all!" And I say, Shame on you Zane for writing this garbage.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Don't get "nervous"...
Review: Zane's novels are typically fun to read and a joy for her to write, I suppose, but this one misses the mark by a lot.

Following her last effort, "Sisters of the APF", Zane writes about something even more dangerously fascinating: a woman's sexual alter-ego. Joniquette is the main character in this novel who wakes up night after night with no recollection of her previous actions and no way to know what is going on during her strange "blackouts".

It turns out that the virgin Joniquette has an uncontrollable alter-ego named, "Jude". Jude loves sex, she craves it, she uses it as a source of leverage and power, she even proclaims herself to be a "total whore" who gives her ... up to whoever wants it whenever they want it and however they want it."

This presents a problem for Joniquette because she has a new love in her life named Mason, and he is willing to go to the ends of the earth to earn her love. "Jude" isn't happy about this because it upsets her ..." 'em and dump 'em" mentality.

The novel moves fine and it's interesting to examine the contradictions of Joniquette's raunchy personality. It's even fun to read about her exploits and enjoy the fact that it's a woman who has no regard for the emotions of her sexual partner, something that men have done to women for years...

Where this book misses is the unfortunate and highly unbelievable climax that negates about the first three quarters of the book. It's not because I don't believe in Jon's condition, it's simply because once I found out more about the problem and how it was triggered, I felt terrible for thinking the first three quarters were sexy. I felt sorry for Joniquette instead of putting down the book and saying, "damn, that was hot."

I also don't believe in Jude's apparent sexual carelessness (she uses no condoms, creams, or any other form of protection), the sudden appearance and disappearance of Jon's third "personality" in the climax or how "Jude" can turn heel as fast as she could and be a nice person in the resolution. And is Marcella real or not??? This makes people who claim to have Jon's problem look bad and it's unfortunate.

Zane is incredibly talented. Her prose flows with the sexual juice squeezed from the best lustful oranges ever to fall off the tree of erotic literature. She writes characters who are easily identifiable and believable. It's just too bad that she writes one for the "Danielle-Steel-novel-made-into-a-USA-TV-Movie" crowd.

Summary: Not All That
Review: I just finished reading this book. I'd give the book 2.5 stars. It really wasn't all that. I mean I had to FORCE myself to finish reading this book because it was so boring. This book is not a page turner. I only read it because Zane was the author. Very disappointed!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better & Better
Review: Every one of Zane's books keep you wanting more. including this book, Nervous. I loved it and you will too. I didn't want to put it down. Another best seller. Zane continues to out-do herself. I give this book five star's and once you read it you will know why.

Keep up the good work, Zane
