Publisher’s Weekly. Starred Review
Though erotic and explicit in theme, this anthology touches upon topics such as childhood trauma (Infused Leather) and dating with a disability, emphasizing that sex can have a serious side.
Library Journal. Starred Review
“Infused Leather” by Dr. J. centers around a shoe-shine event, which was unusual for me. As it turned out, the author knew exactly how to spice it up, turning the event into much more than expected.
Romancing the Book via Goodreads
A retired sex therapist, Dr. J. was the perfect person to conquer the subject of abuse and redemption, and she did it with great care and love. Uplifting. Joyous. Empowering!

I was a bit hesitant at the beginning of this story, but the unique premise drew me in and it turned out to be unexpectedly romantic. A very pleasant surprise.
