About this ebook

In this follow-up to the mega-sensation Addicted, the New York Times bestselling Queen of Erotica delivers a shocking and steamy story about a woman with a split personality who must overcome her disorder before her chance at a happy ending is forever destroyed.

Jonquinette Pierce has never felt comfortable around men—except when she’s her alter ago, Jude, who takes over on the weekends to lead a life of wild and intense sexual escapades. Jonquinette knows she can’t keep living like this and sets out to overcome her split personality with the help of Dr. Marcella Spencer.

But Jude isn’t about to let Jonquinette off so easily. Just as Jonquinette begins falling for her hot neighbor, Mason, Jude decides she’s had enough and goes on a sexual rampage to keep her alter ego from riding off into the sunset. Jude has no intentions of letting Jonquinette fall in love and find happiness at her expense—she’s having way too much fun using the body she shares with Jonquinette. Though this scenario could be a fun fantasy for women who have imagined their own alter ego behaving badly in a sexual way, this is a nightmare for Jonquinette. Nervous takes readers back into the world of Addicted and keeps them hooked until the very end.

    This is my hundredth time reading this book, though it has been years since I last read it. And I still enjoyed it just as much now as I did then. Expertly woven, it was like a movie on paper. Or screen, so to speak. You get a real feel for Jon and Jude's separate personality as well as getting a glimpse into Jetta though it was brief. If anything, this book has sparked my interest in MPD which led me to watching other movies and reading other book that deal with the disorder as well. All in all, it's just really great to find some erotica that actually is encompassed by a truly intriguing story.

    Good story line. She really went through a lot. She was a really strong person to not give up. Mason is a one in a million kind of guy. A lot of sex, when I started the book couldn't put it down. Anxious to see what happens next . Ending was ok.

    First few pages made me wonder about book. As I read more I was fascinated with the people and the their life. Not what I expected. Story was interesting and kept me wondering what was going to happen next. Mason is one in a million to understand and be by Jon side through everything.

    This book turned out to be very different from what I expected it to be. More about the MPD and less about sex. The book is too short to give in depth insight, but very much worth reading.

    Sometimes it is relaxing to read a book that fulfills all of the fantasies that you know will never actually come true or that you will never dare to pursue. Zane writes a story about a woman who has two lives and is living with spilt personality disorder. One person is wild and carefree and fills her sexual desires whenever she feels like it. The other is conservative and has never even had a boyfriend. Throughout the story she works on these issues and the reader is taken on a roller coaster ride of emotions.Fun and exciting!
