Praise for Lisabet Sarai's Work
"
Necessary Madness grabbed my attention from the first page to the very end.
Ms Sarai's skills as a word builder almost took my breath away. I could feel
Kyle's utter despair as he suffered through the visions that plagued him. It
was equally as easy to feel the pain that Rob was feeling as he struggled
against his attraction to Kyle." -
Penny, Black Raven Reviews
"The sex between Kyle and Rob is graphic, passionate and intense and is as
much a part of the story line as the mystery itself... Necessary
Madness is a must read. It will hook you in within a few pages and
won't let you go until the final climatic scene. Buy a copy today, you
won't be disappointed." -
Bill Holden, Out
In Print
"Rough Caress is a great start to begin a BDSM library or to put on
your list as one of Lisabet Sarai's tasty treats in an existing
collection." -
Dee, Night
Owl Romance
"SERPENT'S KISS was excellent! Jorge was a fantastic character, very
well done and very interesting. The mental picture that comes with
Ms. Sarai's description of him is just yummy! I especially liked how
protective he was, both of Elena and of her villagers. Elena was also
an excellent character, because you have to love a woman who has a
brain and is not afraid to use it. The romance between the two of them
was just scorching hot, and very well done. All in all, this was a
quick, steamy read!" -
Beth Foster,
Paranormal Romance Reviews.
"Lisabet Sarai makes the game of Scrabble so hot in 'Crossed Hearts'
[
Gaymes anthology] you might
get your fingers singed. Jason is a playboy who knows he is hot. Matthew is a
farm boy getting over losing the love of his life. Together they are perfect,
they just need to realize it."

Tina, Two
Lips Reviews
"'Exposure' starts off with a bang and the action never stops! There
is hot action as in a murder mystery complete with mobsters, wicked
politicians, and even a voodoo Barbie doll. There is also hot action
as in such a large quantity of scorching sex scenes that you will have
to take short breaks in order to recover!" -
Freesia, Whipped
Cream Erotic Romance Reviews
"I liked this book for its light tone, its sassy heroine, and its
sexual variety. I especially liked that the author did not cast Stella
as the cliched 'stripper with a heart of gold' or 'poor little woman
with no other skills'. Stella strips because she loves the job and
she's good at it. She has sex the same way ~ with enthusiasm ~ whether
it's with a man or a woman. 'Exposure' is a rollicking ride of a tale
with well-drawn characters. The loosely-woven plot is a twist of
motivations and emotions. I think you will enjoy reading it."

Carole, Rainbow Reviews
"In many ways a murder mystery shares a lot in common with a typical
striptease. As one layer after another is removed, a little more is
revealed but the audience remains hungry to see even more and they
won't be satisfied until everything has been wholly and totally
exposed...[In
Exposure] Lisabet manages this authorial trick
with typical aplomb, setting the story up so that the reader is
presented with a Stella's eye view of reality." -
Ashley
Lister, Erotica Revealed, www.eroticarevealed.com.
"Pace is everything in a suspense novel, and Lisabet Sarai deftly keeps
the tension building as the mystery unravels. Between the hot sex
scenes and the action, you won't want to put
[Exposure] down."
Kathleen Bradean, Erotica Readers and Writers Association,

"
Incognito is truly a buffet of pleasures, with something
for everyone. There's the enjoyment of piecing together the
mirroring, multi-layered narratives. Historical and literary echoes
provide extra spice for the careful reader - in particular Shakespeare
fans might enjoy the parallels to Miranda in
The Tempest - all
sweetened with abundant humor and clever feminist twists. Always
you'll find masterful prose in sizzling erotic scenes that offer
flavors to please any palate. And last but not least, the novel will
change your view of the world in surprising ways."
Donna George Story, Erotica Readers and Writers Association,

"Raw Silk goes beyond sizzle and straight to pure
combustible. The sexual escapades of Kate and her three lovers are not
for the faint of heart ...Lisabet Sarai has a flair for sexy, sensuous
romance with an edgy feel."
Dawnie, Fallen Angel
Reviews, http://www.fallenangelreviews.com.
"Sarai's approach to 'kink' or BDSM can only be described
as ecstatic and profound. Her descriptions of bondage, blindfolding,
spanking and whipping manage to be hot yet dignified and respectful of
everyone involved, conveying an insider's knowledge. The varied sex
scenes in these stories always seem to flow from the plot and the
characters. These people, as varied as they are, would connect with
each other in these ways."
- Jean Roberta, The
Dominant's View, www.thedomsview.com.
"As the young 'professoresse' [in
Body Electric] says,
'My research on women's erotic literature was, of course,
impeccably scholarly, serious and restrained, carefully purged of any
salacious detail. My sources were anything but. Their enduring
influence on my thoughts was only too clear.' One can only
read this and say, 'Let the hand rubbing begin!' Ms. Sarai
has perfectly captured the perversely stilted world of academic idiom
with its all-encompassing lists of modifiers and quasi-Victorian
lilt. It is a world where dullness is a virtue, and thus in
parody it is usually far more enlightening than it is in fact.
That is using a formula to its own satiric advantage."

Steven Hart, Erotica Revealed,

"Lisabet Sarai's story, "Quiet Evening at Home,"
approaches the reader from the other end of the literary spectrum. A
hugely talented and versatile writer, Lisabet takes on the emotional
complexities of two women who simultaneously discover they're both
dating the same guy. It's tongue and cheek and playful, and
undeniably steamy."
- Gary Russell, Erotica Readers and
Writers Association, www.erotica-readers.com.
"The fireworks of
Brit Party are in the form of Lisabet
Sarai's "Moonsoon Fever". Having never read anything by this
author, I wasn't sure what to expect when I began to read her
contribution. I found "Monsoon Fever" to have a different vibe than
the other stories. This story is exotic and erotic and I found myself
reading almost too fast at some points just so I can find out what is
going to happen next. Lisabet Sarai is an author that I am going to
keep my eye on and read more from." -
Julie Kornhausl, Simply
Romance Reviews, www.simplyromancereviews.com.
"A good erotic novel should be like a delicious box of chocolates,
a smorgasbord of confections in all shapes and sizes. It should have
something for everyone, from the rich vanilla of the buttercreams to
the chewy challenge of the nougat. It should even have a few
surprises, a few odd-looking items that, once bitten into, turn into
sheer delight. Lisabet Sarai's novel,
Incognito,provides all
that, and a sexy, artful cover to boot."
- J.Z. Sharpe, ENE
Reviews, www.enehp.com.
"[
Incognito] is one hot steamy romance, which stands head
and shoulders above most other erotic romances because of the well
researched and illuminating bits of Victorian history with which the
book is sprinkled. Recommended!
" - Emma Holly, Sensual
Romance Reviews, sr.thebestreviews.com
"This novel [
Incognito] is brave, seductive and
thought-provoking, much like its heroine Miranda, who is literary on
several levels. ... The contrast of public and private roles in
this novel, of cool rational theory and hot physical need, of Seekers
and Offerings (the doers and the done-to) suggests the
collision-course plots of gothic novels about unforgivable acts,
sinister doubles and irreconcilable personalities. Instead of leading
to a predictable doom, however, these contrasts suggest a needed
redefinition of the dark side as well as the light." -
Jean
Roberta, Literotica, www.literoticacaffeine.com.
"Raw Silk follows ...Kate to the discovery of who she really
wants and how she wants that love expressed. She is both vulnerable in
her quest for self-fulfillment, while mercifully not selfish, and
strong in her work life. Gregory is a dark knight who will fight for,
protect, and assist Kate in all parts of her life. He's a wonderful
hero if you're looking at his support of and love for Kate.
Raw
Silk offers a strong sense of Bangkok and has a good understanding
of software and multi-media. It's nice to find a novel whose technical
details make sense. Highly Recommended." -

"Now don't get me wrong. Sometimes I'm not interested
in reading anything other than sex, sex, sex. At other times,
however, after a steady diet of bacon double cheeseburgers, I'd
rather have a steak.
Ruby's Rules by Lisabet Sarai is a
steak; it's a substantive, tasteful meal of pornographic fun.
The book is an erotic story in the true sense of the word; a bona fide
plot with plausible, vibrant characters, and interwoven with lots of
hot, graphic sex." -
J.T. Benjamin, Divine Pleasures reviews,
www.dvnpleasures.com.
"I have always had a preference, in my bedroom and on my bookshelf,
for scenarios which exalt, rather than humiliate, the submissive
(though a little humbling on the way to surrender is a nice spice).
Anyone who shares this flavor of passion will enjoy this book
[
Sacred Exchange]. Following the theme of spiritual-seeking,
the stories are mostly from the bottom or submissive's point of view,
through the eyes of he or she who seeks that transformation that comes
with surrender to another being's will, as one does to a deity. The
forms of surrender vary widely, many taking refreshing looks at
masochism and the mystery of devotion." -
