Praise for Lisabet Sarai's Work

“Burn, Baby! is a naughty treat. The writing is bold, sexy, and at times hypnotic. Pay special attention to the steampunk story…it is beyond delish. You can’t go wrong with this book.” - Tina Donahue, International Bestselling Author of Hard Lust

"Do I recommend this one? Oh hell yeah. Realistic D/s with hot as hell kinky sex? Yes, please!" ~ Kayla Lords, BDSM blogger and educator

"I was completely drawn into this relationship, and the relationship IS the story. The connection Rachel and Theo build between them is vividly portrayed, beautiful and well-written, poignant in some ways and hot enough to melt the pages in others. Which is exactly what I want in erotic novels. Lisabet Sarai just gained a new fan." - Lola White, author of My Stranger

"The lush and beautiful prose in this story [The Witches of Gloucester] sits so sweetly on what is an engaging and fun tale. There's moments of humor, but overall, there's a sweet sensuality in the descriptions and the sex scenes, which are as arousing as any I've read." - Cheyenne Blue, author of Blue Woman Stories and editor of Lammy-nominated Forbidden Fruit: Tales of Unwise Lesbian Desire

"This [Bangkok Noir]is definitely one of the most original D/s themed books I have read in a very long time. The exquisitely kinky and erotic BDSM play is just a bonus." - Jim Lyon, BDSM Book Reviews (5 paddles)

"There’s plenty of raw sex, rough sex, kinky sex, revenge sex, even elegant sex, in Nasty Business. And there’s plenty of power play. But to have all that and the rare moment of mystic ecstasy too - well, that does it for me. Whatever does it for you, chances are that you’ll find it here, and some unexpected pleasures as well." - Sacchi Green, Erotica Revealed.

[Rajasthani Moon] really took me far and wide. At first you have a kidnapping fantasy with rip roaring sex that honestly left me breathless. Then you have a ménage with kinky toys that made me crunch ice. ( A lot). Then you add a paranormal twist and I couldn’t decide what I enjoyed more. It all worked. Every part of it." - Long and Short Reviews (4.5 stars)

"If you love BDSM stories that reach into your darkest places and keep you on the edge of your seat, then you simply must give Spank Me Again Stranger a try." - Whipped Cream Erotic Romance Reviews (five stars)

"Bangkok Noir grabs you from the opening paragraph and doesn't let you go until the fade-out" - Tim - Two Lips Reviews (five kisses)

"Remy in Wild About That Thing: A true New Man, in touch with the feelings of women, understanding and, damn it, I wanted him for myself!" - Miz Love, Miz Love Reviews

"A great story, beautifully written and full of well-crafted descriptions. The BDSM has a nice air of unpredictability and combined with the realisation on the heroine's part meant it was a book I didn't want to end. I highly recommend [The Understudy] if you like a modern tale of D and s." - Miz Behavin', Miz Love Reviews

"What a wonderfully refreshing and original sci-fi erotic romance. My only complaint would be that I finished it -- I wanted to keep on reading!...New to Lisabet Sarai's work, I was pleasantly surprised and am full of nothing but praise for Bodies of Light" - Clematis, Whipped Cream Reviews

"When I first began reading [Raw Silk] I was instantly dragged into Kate's world as she began her new journey in Bangkok. There is a very intense vibe that begins almost right away and never lets up... This is by far one of the best erotic novels that I have read and it fully deserves every one of the five ribbons I am giving it! But it does make me wonder what the characters could do with them. - Maree, Romance Junkies Reviews

"Fire in the Blood is a philosopher's erotic tale. That is the best description I can give for Lisabet Sarai's latest release. It is a wonderfully engaging read as you experience horror that cuddles up to passion, and love that embraces repulsion. ... [Lisabet Sarai] is able to bring a potential for light, understanding and love where there has only been darkness for many decades. This is a thought provoking tale with hard erotic elements wrapped in a terrific story." - Lea, Black Raven Reviews

"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, www.erotica-readers.com.

"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, www.erotica-readers.com.

"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, www.eroticarevealed.com.

"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." - Diane Whiteside, Under the Covers Reviews, www.silcom.com/~manatee..

"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." - Cecilia Tan.
