Lip Service should be on the NYT Bestseller
list!
Reviewed by Jove- editor Satin Sheets Web site: Lip Service
by MJ Rose. I normally steer clear of stories in the first
person, with the exception of Diana Gabaldon, but MJ Rose
will be the second author for whom I'll that make an
exception for. Lip Service is a phenomenol narrative of
erotica and astounding insight into the human psyche that's
on this side of frightening. I was hooked from page one and
didn't put it down until I finished it just as the first rays
of sunlight were penetrating my curtains. That's something
that hasn't happened to me in a very, very long time. And
there's a great twist at the end that brought a small,
satisfied smirk to my lips.The detail MJ Rose has poured into
this book makes it sensuous--appealing to the senses. The
reader is there; the reader is more than just an detached
observer--a feat all writers try to accomplish and few
succeed. Her transitions from past to present are smooth and
extremely well done, not jarring the reader into confusion.
And, yes, Lip Service is highly sensual, too. Downright
hot, in fact. It surprises me that Lip Service is self-
published; a work of this calibre should've captured the
attention of editors at any major publishing house. Other
than a few minor punctuation errors that are easily
overlooked, this novel deserves a few weeks on the New York
Times bestseller list. Hopefully, this review can help do MJ
Rose's work some justice.I highly recommend this book for
anyone who's seeking a satisfying read for soaking in the
bathtub, reclining in bed, or curling up on the sofa. Just
don't expect to get up anytime soon.
