Legendary and Hot!

Passion, steamy page turning plots, and incredible characters have made this book such a page turner, that its forever creased from reading it over and over again. One of my favorite romances of Johnson. If you want passion, and a great book to keep you up all night wondering "oh whats next?" Read this book! Its remarkable!

Erotic Romance Novel

I recommend LEGENDARY LOVER to those who are willing to stretch their boundaries, put aside preconceived ideas of what a romance novel should be. This story is a wonderfully intellectual erotic read, a true EROTIC ROMANCE. She simply achieves a very appealing balance of love, history, and lots of hot sex! In the erotica department, Susan's imagination knows no limits. This story is about Venus Duras the daughter of Pasha and Trixie Duras (A Touch of Sin). Jack and Venus are two headstrong people who make a darling couple. Neither of them want to make comments or become married. Nevertheless, they cannot pass up the sexual awarness that is between them even a hand shake causes an inexplicalbe thrill to run threw them both. During a few months of passionate, love the find that they cannot deal with being apart from each other. I do not recommend this book to those who are easily offended by erotic sex.

Book is HOT HOT HOT! Don't burn yourself on these pages

Some authors add horror, suspense, mystery and other extravant plot twists to their love stories because their romance can't stand on their own. Us die hard SJ fans know why she doesn't need these other crutches and you will too after you read this book. Heck, she could write about grass growing and make it sound fascinating, clever, and romantic. With Legendary Lover, her settings are less lavish and adventurous than her earlier books Blaze and Sinful. Thank goodness! Because this allows her to concentrate on the more important things, such as letting us see how this very smart, independent and sexually experienced couple battle each other with their quick wit, clever dialogue and oh-so-hot bedroom scenes! (hint: this couple is not restricted to the bedroom only! ...As if you could hold these 2 back from their burning passion with ANY restrictions)There is a distinct difference from SJ and other so-called "erotic-romance" writers. Robin Schone, Thea Devine and Bertrice Smalls all left me cold. SJ is the teacher and the rest are her pupils. When I say this book is hot, that means not only are the words hot, but the way she puts them together can just take your breath away. When Venus felt a stir in her stomach, so did I. The cadence of this book is perfection. Just like the anticipation of the ideal roller coaster ride, when you finally catch your breath from the last heated physical and verbal exchange between Venus and Jack, you realize the ride has barely begun and at the next sharp incline, you hang on tight for the ride of your life because the next exchange between Venus and Jack WILL take your breath away! And as the roller coaster screams down the track, scream away because Venus and Jack can't hear you above their own deafening cries.

Great Book from a great author!

After reading The Lover, this book is a very refreshing and welcoming cure. This book i think is very romantic. The sex scenes are great and the characters are so real and normal. Jack and Venus are so adorable.
