Book Description

Three best friends find this is one game you might never outgrow . . .

Truth Or Dare Satisfy Me Asia Michaels and her friends find themselves tantalized by a quiet new arrival in their small town—and by its possibilities. One thing leads to another as truth leads to dare, and Asia's in the arms of a man who gives her answers to all of the questions she could never ask . . .

Indulge Me Shy Becky Harte has a private wild side. But she never thought she'd run into a secret crush like George Westin while buying some rather surprising items. George is more than intrigued at her purchases and would love to show the blushing Becky a thing or two. But it's George who becomes the student when Becky starts calling the shots . . .

Drive Me Wild Assertive Erica Lee is used to having the upper hand in business, her love life—everything. On a dare, she boldly approaches hunky, mischievous Ian Conrad with a scandalous proposal. Ian isn't intimidated in the least by Erica—and he's been hoping for just this opportunity. Seems like Erica might have finally met a man who can keep up with her . . .

Includes an excerpt from Lori's new novel, Jude's Law

Close friend Asia,Becky and Erica are very interested when an adult store opens in there small town. The girls dare each other to go into the store and talk to the first man who interested their secret desire.
"Truth or Dare" is great sexy book by Lori Foster. Ms Foster does a great job linking the three story together. A great book for any fan of Ms. Foster.

2 out of 5 stars truth or dare.......2007-04-10

it was a waste of money i only like the second story the other two where boring

5 out of 5 stars Great Read.......2006-06-12

I think Lori Foster is a very talented writer, whose wit and humor make her books a very enjoyable read. I also like books with very steamy love scenes and though Lori Foster's books always contain romance, they often seem tame to me when it comes to the midnight hours. This book, however, really delivers a punch when the starring couple finally reach the bedroom. Wow! These couples are very playful and passionate.

I'd like to add that although each story was short, I found the characters well drawn out.I immediately understood their choices and decisions, because of the history and background of each character that the author had described for me. Well Done!

2 out of 5 stars Dissapointing.......2006-04-06

I thought this was one story involving several characters, but it is 3 short stories. Very short. Too short to be realistic with the characters falling in love and getting married in unrealistic time. So if that doesn't bother you...

5 out of 5 stars Just as good the second time around........2006-02-23

This is a reprint of three of Lori Foster's hottest most erotic short stories. They are gathered in one book for the first time.

Three friends make a dare when a porn shop opens in their town. They will enter the shop and approach whichever man seems to be interested in their most private fantasys.

What the friends don't know is they have been overheard talking about the dare. Now three different men who have their own fantasys are about to enter the game.

I enjoyed the book but I just want to let you know it is mostly about the fantasys of the participants. If you haven't already read these stories, they are hot.

    "When Willa turned and kissed her, Louie thought in her head, this is my first kiss. It wasn't, of course, she'd kissed a number of boys, and done more too, but she'd never, ever felt as if she were falling off a cliff."
    Dare Truth or Promise, a turbulent love story by New Zealander Paula Boock, recalls Nancy Garden's Annie on My Mind and Good Moon Rising in its portrayal of two young women caught up in sexual passion for each other. Louie is the talented daughter of wealthy and cultured parents, and Willa is a strong-minded redhead who lives over the pub. They come from different worlds, but when they meet working at Burger Giant, lightning strikes--soon they are frantically in love. Willa has had a previous affair that was undermined by denial, but this time it feels inevitable and right, even when Louie's mother banishes Willa after discovering them in an embrace; even when Willa is threatened by hostile anonymous notes; even when they avoid each other in confusion and pain. Thanks to the acceptance of her tough bartender mother, Willa gains the strength to wait it out, but a psychologist tells Louie that her feelings are a passing phase, a fundamentalist promises her sins will land her in hell, and her best friend is supportive but embarrassed. The healing words that finally enable Louie to believe in herself and return to the relationship come at last from a young priest: "You see, I think love comes from God. And so, to turn away from love, real love, it could be argued, is to turn away from God." (Ages 16 and older) --Patty Campbell

    Book Description

    When Louie and Willa first meet, they don't know their lives will soon be changed forever. Self-assured Louie is gearing up for another successful year in high school, starring in a production of Twelfth Night and running the Comedy Club. Kicked out of her last school and still stinging from a past relationship, Willa wants only to get through her final year at school quietly so she can graduate and become a chef. More than anything, she wants to be left alone. But each girl unexpectedly finds that plans mean nothing when it comes to love. Louie discovers that everything she was sure of-acceptance, faith, and identity-are not what they had seemed. And Willa finds herself suddenly willing to take another chance.

    5 out of 5 stars INCREDIBLE and BRILLIANT.......2007-07-28

    THE best EVER lesbian/questioning book I have read so far. You fall in love with the characters instantly and it is easy to find yourself lost in the beautiful love story of this book. I loved it so much and couldn't put it down, that I read it in one night. I first got it from the library near where I live and after reading it, I loved it so much that I simply HAD to buy it. Beautifully inspirational. You will never find a story quite as true and good as this one. Everything about it is absoltely BRILLIANT. A MUST READ for lesbian or questioning teens.

    1 out of 5 stars shameful.......2007-07-23

    I wish I could give this even fewer stars. It is despicable that there are authors peddling books to our children that encourage not only premarital sexual behavior, but perverse behavior at that. Shame on Paula Boock.

    5 out of 5 stars Heatwarming and eye openeing.......2007-07-07

    Dare Truth Or Promise took be no mroe than 2 days to read...I couldnt put it down. It touched me on so many levels; through the two girls meeting to their falling in love to every other aspect of the book. It was beautifully written and had me either smilijng or in tears for most of it depending on the part. well worht the money and deffinatly worth the time to read.

    5 out of 5 stars A Definite Favorite! .......2007-06-14

    Buy this book! I'll make this short, because a lot of good has been said about the book anyway. I loved this book so much that I stayed up till 5am reading it! I couldn't put it down. Paula Boock shows that she is an excellent story-teller and writer. Her story is believable and the characters almost become real people. I absolutely loved this book! It's definitely one of my favorites now!! Such a good story! Read it nowwww!!

    5 out of 5 stars Perfection.......2007-01-31

    When I read the 'first kiss' quote on the main page for this book I knew I had to have it. Every single part of this book is perfect and so familiar. So much of it is exactly how things are with me and my girlfriend. The quote "it loved to happen" that is used throughout is so meaningful if you really stop and think about it. This book really pulls on your heart strings and the few ending parts had me crying so much I couldn't even read the last pages!! Only thing I'd complain about is that I didn't want it to end, I wish it was longer!

    Book Description

    Kai Armstrong has been secretly watching Sonya Drummond for weeks. Not because her sexy curves drive Kai wild. Not because her every move sets his body on fire. Kai's watching Sonya because she's in possession of a stolen butterfly necklace-and he's been hired to steal it back, even if he has to seduce it right off her beautiful neck...When Sonya meets Kai on a single's cruise, she has no idea that he's looking for the necklace. She assumes he's there for the same reason she is: to indulge in a weeklong shipboard sex romp, no strings attached. Kai is the perfect candidate for what Sonya has in mind: Tall and gorgeous with a dark, muscular body that just won't quit.With Sonya, Kai finds himself oddly off his game. Her shy blushes remind him of chocolate raspberries and her shivers drive him out of his mind! As things heat up, Kai must make a decision: Will he betray the woman who has captured his mind and body...or give in to a delicious game where everybody wins?

    This is the very first romance novel I have ever read. The only thing I can say is that I am hooked. The book kept you mesmerized in the pages from beginning to end. Delilah Dawson reading knows how to choose the right words...and boy did she choose them. I could read this book a thousand times. Hot and and romantic cant explain explain it...nor can perfect fantasy and pure desire....you just have to read it...you will understand.

    4 out of 5 stars nice read,...if you dare.......2007-03-24

    truth or dare is one of those books that can be read when you don't have anything to do,or just plain bored. it was a nice interesting read, that also included humor,steamy sex,and a romantic plot that made the book interesting. i wasn't disappointed. not bad at all...

    5 out of 5 stars Feeling hot, hot, hot.......2007-01-15

    This book is hot!!!!! A great adventure and romance story would love to see this on the big screen but the sex scenes would make it Quadraple R rated. Mmmmmmm what a way to play Truth or Dare. I look forward to reading other books by this writer.

    4 out of 5 stars first time read.......2007-01-10

    This is the first time I have read a book from Ms Dawson. I thought it was a good read, and it kept my attention from the beginning to the end. I have not played the game Truth or Dare in quite some time so this book brought back some memories, good of course. I would purchase another book from Ms. Dawson in a heart beat.

    5 out of 5 stars Not for the faint of heart.......2006-08-29

    I love this book! I have read it two and a half times already.(The part with the spelling is worth the price of the book alone - Just don't read it while your home alone. Get a partner)This book teeters on the thin line between a sensuous romance and an erotic romance (It stays on the side of sensuous though, there was no graphic language.). It was cute, fun, and very very sexy. She explains why the characters would hop into bed so quickly, and when she is not teasing us with huge amounts of sexual tension she is fulfulling us with hot steamy sex. And best of all it was a romance so you saw the characters falling for each other and craved the HEA, the whole purpose for picking up a romance.
    I first read Delilah Dawson in Mr. Satisfaction. Her writing captivated me so, I had to find what else she wrote. Thank God she didn't dissappoint. As long as she keeps writing high amounts of tension and hero and heroines you love, I will keep buying.
    Great Job!

    Book Description

    Upscale interior designer Zoe Luce has found peace and contentment in Whispering Springs, Arizona. She has a thriving business, and she's settling into newlywed life with private investigator Ethan Truax. The threat that brought Zoe and Ethan together is finally over, ancient history, or so Zoe believes. Very few people know of her uncanny ability to sense the dark secrets hidden within the walls of a house, and she wants to keep it that way, even from Ethan. But someone is stalking Zoe - someone who knows all about her, and who shadows her every move. Is it the same person who is threatening her closest friend, Arcadia Ames, the only other person in Whispering Springs who knows the truth about Zoe? Or are Zoe and Arcadia getting tangled in a web spun by someone more dangerous than they could ever have imagined?

    As a private investigator, Ethan is paid to find the truth, yet he has secrets of his own that are better left buried. He can't let the threats to Zoe go unchallenged, although he fears that the truth may be a bigger burden than their still-fragile relationship can handle. And Ethan isn't alone with his fears: instead of setting
    her free, Zoe dreads that the truth will only imprison her once more within her darkest nightmares, this time with no escape in sight.

    Download Description

    "The sexy, suspenseful sequel to Light in Shadow Zoe is an interior designer with a unique sense of style. But even more uncanny is her sense of what's going on under the surface, the secrets a house can hold. At the moment, though, Zoe isn't concerned about a client's space. She's more worried about what's going on in her own house in Whispering Springs, Arizona, where she lives with her new husband, private investigator Ethan Truax. After a whirlwind courtship, and a dangerous adventure, they've gambled on commitment, hoping that their powerful attraction can help them learn to live together despite their utterly opposite personalities. But newlywed life is suddenly interrupted when a shadowy figure from Zoe's past shows up in Whispering Springs, and her closest friend is put at terrible risk. For Zoe and Arcadia Ames share a shocking secret. And as they seek to protect the truth, they must join together, and with Ethan's help, accept a very dangerous dare."

    3 out of 5 stars and a half stars for fun, a little suspense/mystery and light romance........2007-06-01

    After "Light in Shadow" I had hoped this would have more mystery and substance and romance, but it was light on all three. If this is the first JAK book a reader has picked up, they will surely be disappointed. I picked this up used and cheap at a local bookstore so it was even less than a paperback. I enjoyed the humor and subplots and "sub" romances but felt too many storylines made for lack of the usual detail and suspense in other JAK books.

    This is good for light summer reading and some fun. These characters, Zoe, Arcadia, Ethan, et al are better defined in the "prequel" and this time some of their motives seem strange. I did enjoy getting to know Singleton Cobb a bit better but other than his character the rest were shallow unless you had read the previous book. I'm not going to describe the plot as there are several but enjoy!

    1 out of 5 stars Booooooring.......2007-01-04

    I had never heard of this author before and picked this book on cd up at the library. It moved at a snails pace, the book jacket made it sound like an inriuging mystery - but more time is spent on analyzing every last detail amongst the characters - finally when something does happen by the 8th cd - its anticlimactic. And althought he main character continually talks about being psychic - she never once has a premonition, other than feeling "spiderwebs" when she walks in a room. I couldn't wait for this book to end, and I will probably never pick up another book by this author, even though other reviewers say she writes good books. I kept wondering if it would be better, if someone who was not monotone was doing the reading on the cd. That didn't help matters.

    5 out of 5 stars Good reading.......2006-01-16

    This book was hard to put down. It really pulled the reader in. Very few slow spots. I highly recommend this book .

    4 out of 5 stars The walls can talk..........2005-10-31

    Another enjoyable JAK novel. She knows how to interweave the scenes of everyday life, including some intriguing subplots. Keep writing and I'll keep reading. It may not be the most intellectual read, but it is definitely a fun time!

    3 out of 5 stars [Review and Reflections] Truth or Dare - Disappointing tale of a Psychic and Private Investigator.......2005-09-15

    I love JAK and have read quite a few but the sequel to Light in Shadow is not as good as the usual Jayne Ann Krentz books. Somehow Truth or Dare lacks the "suspense" and romance that is usually in her books. Ethan Traux is good as the Private Investigator and "strong" guy. Zoe Luce as the psychic didn't do so well. Ethan and Zoe solve the mystery and save Arcadia Ames but the book lacks the pace. A one time read for me.

    Another great resource from Mark & Youth Specialities. Great follow-up to the first book!

    Lessons are interactive and interesting - Mark has the ability to bring the truth to this age group in such a non-threatening, age appropriate way. All of the activities, games and lessons layer upon each other and really allow the students to learn from each other as much as they learn from you. The "wild truth" is this is the kind of teaching that is retained and incorporated into your students lives and belief system in a way that lectures and indoctrinating will never accomplish.

    Highly recommend!

    5 out of 5 stars My gosh! It's him! It's my ex-boss!.......2005-09-27

    My gosh! It's him! It's as if I am reading about my ex-boss! This is an in-depth study with strategies on how to counter a narcissist. He once told me, "Your priority is to make me look good." My ex-boss is self-absorbed, has no strategy, micro-manages his employees, manages up very well, has to always be right, behaves in an erratic and confusing fashion (says stuff like, "I knew you would fail at that project when I gave it to you" to our team when a project appeared to be failing...which he never participated in or gave a clear goal for, BTW.)

    It is clear that I worked for someone who is a form of white collar socio-path (think: Enron). I bought 4 of these for colleagues who still work with him, and one for HR....wish I had had this several months ago. I finally bailed...at a high cost, but at least I am no longer under his thumb, a minion forced to worship at his ego-altar.

    I did do a strategy found in this book: the end run. I reported him to the company Ethics office after I got away from him and the investigation was worth the risk. They are at least now aware of his divisiveness.

    I highly recommend this to anyone who works for a confusing boss that is not a team player, offers no strategy for his own team, does not fully communicate his plans, withholds information (sometimes key), has always got to be right, and assigns meaningless work just to make himself look good (e.g., has you create presentations that may have little to do with your function, that he then presents to his up-line without ever informing you, and after making sure he understands all the details so that he can look as if he did the presentation himself). If you have a check mark by most of the above, then you need this book. My best advice is to get away from a narcissistic boss, especially if you are an honest person who just tries to do the right thing and does not play the office political games very well.

    5 out of 5 stars It's Him, this is my ex-boss!!.......2005-09-27

    My gosh! It's him! It's as if I am reading about my ex-boss! This is an in-depth study with strategies on how to counter a narcissist. He once told me, "Your priority is to make me look good." My ex-boss is self-absorbed, has no strategy, micro-manages his employees, manages up very well, has to always be right, behaves in an erratic and confusing fashion (says stuff like, "I knew you would fail at that project when I gave it to you" to our team when a project appeared to be failing...which he never participated in or gave a clear goal for, BTW.)

    It is clear that I worked for someone who is a form of white collar socio-path (think: Enron). I bought 4 of these for colleagues who still work with him, and one for HR....wish I had had this several months ago. I finally bailed...at a high cost, but at least I am no longer under his thumb, a minion forced to worship at his ego-altar.

    I did do a strategy found in this book: the end run. I reported him to the company Ethics office after I got away from him and the investigation was worth the risk. They are at least now aware of his divisiveness.

    I highly recommend this to anyone who works for a confusing boss that is not a team player, offers no strategy for his own team, does not fully communicate his plans, withholds information (sometimes key), has always got to be right, and assigns meaningless work just to make himself look good (e.g., has you create presentations that may have little to do with your function, that he then presents to his up-line without ever informing you, and after making sure he understands all the details so that he can look as if he did the presentation himself).

    5 out of 5 stars A must for anyone who feels victimized.......2001-06-11

    This is a brilliant book if you work under a person (or people) who make you feel that you can't do anything right. If you have worked for many years with very isolated or no problems at all and the bosses change, turning your working environment upside-down, using moral blackmail to ram you into a corner, read this and then decide if it is really YOU who's metamorphosized or if it's merely some 'special breed' of ego-trip boss who will eventually, with a bit of luck, make himself so unpopular he's sent off to a remote spot in Patagonia, at which point you can return to business as usual and feel like a normal person again.

    3 out of 5 stars Narcissists in Positions of Authority.......2001-02-23

    Many leaders - in politics, business, religion, community - are pathological or malignant narcissists. But, maybe surprisingly to some, not all of them. Consider politics. The preponderance of narcissistic traits and personalities in politics is much less than in show business, for instance. Moreover, while show business is concerned essentially (and almost exclusively) with the securing of narcissistic supply - politics is a much more complex and multi-faceted activity. Rather, narcissism in politics is a spectrum. At the one end, we find the 'actors' - politicians who regard politics as their venue and their conduit, an extended theatre with their constituency as an audience. At the other extreme, we find self-effacing and schizoid (crowd-hating) technocrats. Most politicians are in the middle: somewhat self-enamoured, opportunistic and seeking modest doses of narcissistic supply - but mostly concerned with perks, self-preservation and the exercise of power. Most narcissists are ruthless opportunists. But not all opportunistic and ruthless operators are narcissists. This book is a good introduction to narcissists in positions of leadership and to the pernicious effects of their disordered personalities. Yet, all such tomes suffer from a major - and, to my mind, iredeemable, drawback. I am strongly opposed to remote diagnosis. I think it is a bad habit, exercised by charlatans and dilettantes (even if their names are followed by a Psy.D.). Only a qualified mental health diagnostician can determine whether someone suffers from NPD and this, following lengthy tests and personal interviews. Moreover, often, politicians are nothing but a loyal reflection of their milieu, their culture, their society and their times (zeitgeist and leitkultur - the Germans have words for such things). This is the thesis of Daniel Goldhagen in 'Hitler's Willing Executioners'. Lasch, for instance characterized America as narcissistic (in, among others, 'The Culture of Narcissism'). Read cautiously. Sam Vaknin, author of 'Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited'.

    4 out of 5 stars If you aren't into self-examination, this book isn't for you.......2004-12-24

    Truth or Dare is about the roles we play that society places us in. This is constraining to men as it is to women. There are journal writing exercises and rituals designed to help you break from the roles that are given to us and take on powerful roles of our choosing. It is a very challenging and interesting process.

    If you aren't into self-examination, this book isn't for you. However, if you are into discovering what makes you tick, and discovering how to make powerful changes in yourself, this book is for you. Like most Craft books, unless you're willing to do the exercises, it won't do you any good. This is not a good first book on Wicca. Spiral Dance is, in fact if I ran a coven it would be on my must-read-to-join list. This book is also not helpful for people who haven't done a lot of group work, because it asks you to examine your place within your coven/circle etc.

    So in conclusion, if you aren't sure you want to really make changes in your life or spend a lot of time working on your spiritual path, this book will sit on your shelf and collect dust. However, if you are ready to do some real magick on yourself, this book is a powerful tool for change.

    5 out of 5 stars Life-Changng Feminist Text.......2004-08-05

    This breathtaking book is essential reading for anyone interested in dismantling the patriarchy, healing the earth, linking radical politics with spirituality and liberating themselves from domination. It is an empowering text that will inspire you to change your life and to change your world.

    1 out of 5 stars Prejudicial feminism at its worst........2004-02-24

    Truth or Dare is more of a prejudicial feminist hate piece about men than it is about Wicca or paganism. For example, chapter 2 provides us with feminist revisionist history, with a catch. Starhawk goes on about how ancient men were conscripted into armies and dehumanized or killed, and then concludes with "and that's how women have been oppressed by patriarchy. I read that chapter conclusion and said "huh?" what did I just read. There is nothing in the chapter to support her prejudicial conclusion, in fact the reverse is supported. Every chapter seems to out-prejudice the preceding one. The text is deceptive. It seems to be positive but has an undercurrent of misandry. After each chapter I found that I was angry at the misandry I had read and would take a week to cool down before trying to read the next chapter. After 5 or 6 chapters I figured out that I really didn't like it on a deep emotional basis and stopped reading. Men hating feminist pagans all love it because it supports and encourages their misandry.

    5 out of 5 stars An excellent resource for group facilitation.......2002-05-19

    This book is an excellent resource for group facilitation -- it's been invaluable to me in the groups I work with. There is a wealth of information on group dynamics, dealing with conflict, structure and group agreements, interspersed with Middle Eastern myth and some beautiful poetry. As you might expect, Starhawk has included many exercises and questions to work through with your group -- helping you build the kind of group that will be nourishing and effective. This is a book I find in the library of many successful priestesses -- it makes a great companion to Amber K's "Covencraft" and Judy Harrow's "Wicca Covens." Still, if I had to have only one of the three, it would be this book, hands down.

    5 out of 5 stars A great book for group work, and intermediate witches.......2001-04-08

    I wouldn't recommend this book as a manual for absolute beginners - that's what her other book, The Spiral Dance, was for. However, if you are somewhat well-versed in the practice of the Craft, and are looking for ideas for group work, this is a fabulous book. Written by a master of coven work, Truth or Dare takes bold, assertive steps in showing the reader how to form consciousness-raising groups, lead meditations, and organize spiritual groups, and is full of feminist poetry (with a beautiful retelling of the descent of Innana), trance work, stories of spiritual/political activism, and plenty of inspiration for your own work. Again, to get the most out of this book, it's best to be at least at the intermediate level. And, if you're looking to start a group, but don't quite know how, this is a great book to start with.

    5 out of 5 stars Fun and romance with a twist of mystery........2000-11-16

    I really liked this book. It was about Stephanie and her friends at camp sail-away. She met her boyfriend out on the water. He was water skiing and the wave he created knocked her boat over. He came over to see if she was ok and one thing led to another. I would recommend this book because it was cool, exciting and you never know what would happen next.

      I was in her trailer with her and she didn't want errands running. Oh no. She wanted to rehearse a scene from the film -- with me. And it wasn't just any old scene she wanted to go through. It was a snogging scene. Oh. My. God.

      Squidge is over the moon -- he has just started going out with the beautiful Lia.

But things get complicated when a film crew arrives in the area and Squidge's dream to work on a movie comes true. Savannah, the celebrity teenage star, adopts Squidge as her personal runner and starts to show an interest in him. Will he be able to keep Savannah happy without breaking his promise to Lia?
