Product Description
We all dream of the forbidden but some of us make those dreams come true.

With the same mystery, menace and intensity as her Vampire books, Exit to Eden explores the forbidden by taking us to The Club, a vacation paradise where no aspect of sexual pleasure is taboo. Just as The Story of O shocked the Sixties by speaking aloud what had only been whispered, Exit to Eden gives voice to the sexual secrets of the Eighties.

"Bold and erotic, laced with luxury, sexual tension, music ...dazzling in its darkness ... There are times when Mrs. Rice seems like nothing less than a magician. It is a pure and uncanny talent that can give voice to monsters and angels both."

Still a good read...
I bought a copy of this book about 15 years ago and read it many times. Unfortunately, I loaned it to a friend and never got it back, but also never forgot it.

A few weeks ago, I was on a message board and this book was mentioned. I decided I had to read it again.

It was a treat to read again after all these years. Ms. Rice does a brilliant job of relating Lisa and Elliott's feelings to the reader. My heart was breaking for Lisa as she came to terms with her feelings and realized all the problems they would bring about. Elliott is so charming, sexy, and intelligent that you can't help but fall for him!And New Orleans is described in such detail that I felt like I was there.

This book is the perfect mix of eroticism and romance. I'm sorry that Ms. Rice didn't write more in this genre.

An S&M romance? Not so much...
This book was marketed as an S&M romance... but instead it is the fear and process of returning to normalcy. Romantic-- yes, erotic-- no. I was very disappointed!

Interesting Book
I had never read any romance or erotica books before this one, so it was shocking and intriguing.I have read it again through the years, and I find, for myself anyways, that this is a 1-time read only, but that's ok.It was fantastic the first time I read it.It has very interesting characters. Forbidden love, erotica and bondage, a fantastic plot, and strong characters.

Exit to pleasure.
I guess you know by now that Anne Rice doesn't just write vampire stories. Well, Exit to Eden is anything but that and it is a delight to read. I liked the characters and it just flowed well for me. The bdsm wasn't too overdone and the sex was red hot. I am a fan of the authors and have been for some time, though I've mostly read her paranormal stuff. So glad I took the chance. I am looking forward to reading more of her erotic work, among them Beauty's Release: The Conclusion of the Classic Erotic Trilogy of Sleeping Beauty.

Only if you liked the Movie
If you have watch the film based on this novel more then once, then you'll find this book an interesting read. As usual film is very different from the novel, but this only makes it a good read if you are into S & M.

Spoiler warning.




Many of you probably want to read the chapter when Lisa was having sex Elliot. This is very different from the movie. In the novel Lisa is "doing him". ... Read more
