Description: Product Description

     USA Today bestselling author Cheryl Holt wanted to free herself from all restraint and write a novel exploring the darkest, most secret reaches of the erotic imagination   So she created the alter-ego Vanessa Marlow, and the novel she wrote is…Sleeping With The Devil

     Meg White leads a comfortable life as a chef in Portland.  Nothing prepared her for a man like Jordan Blair, the rich, magnetic stranger who seduces her and introduces her to a life of luxury--and sin.  Obsessed with Jordan and drawn to his dark sexual kinks, Meg allows him to transform her into a sophisticated beauty with no ties to her past.  But soon she’s trapped in a web of lust and sexual depravity.  She doesn’t know whether the man who’s consumed her life is good or evil, whether her nights are filled with pleasure or pain--or how she’ll ever survive.

Reviews: Regina (USA: OR) (2008/04/29):
Vanessa Marlow is a psuedonum for Cheryl Holt. And I normally like Holt with the exception of her last few releases. Unfortunately this one also falls way off it's mark. This book is described as a novel of sensual obsession but to me it wasn't sensual at all. Sensual implies love or at the very least affection. However, the sex scenes were dry, stilted, controlling. It's about a psychopath luring a normal woman into his crazy world of obsession, mental, physical and sexual abuse. There's no love here. I enjoy erotica and have read my fair share, but this doesn't qualify. It makes me wonder why a romance/erotica novelist would want to write something so disturbingly unappealing.
