Seductions, Lies and Good Intentions: Memoirs of My Life Online

By Layne Underwood and Layne Underwood

'At a time when most women keep their letters and journals private, Layne Underwood publishes hers. At a time when many women lead sheltered, structured lives, she fills her existence with a series of steamy, astonishing adventures. Seductions, Lies & Good Intentions focuses upon one lonely woman's search for sexuality, in all its permutations, persuasions and perversions. Reading Seductions, Lies & Good Intentions is like having great sex with a familiar partner. Even before you begin, you know it's going to be good. During, it's a host of things: hot and comfortable, intense and soothing, reliable and fun. Afterwards, well, afterwards you are left with seemingly opposing feelings of pure satisfaction and intense want for more. Although this book is not for everyone because of its graphic content, it does have several redeeming features. It's funny, it's intelligent, or at least very learned; and in the strangest way, sincere. I loved it "

-John Koblas, Author of WILLOW RIVER ALMANAC & numerous other books

'A funny, tough, brave, and knowing book, sweet and sexy as a new love affair. If you have explored any of the online world, you will nod in recognition. If you haven't, you will come to know it well, and see, like the real world, it holds the same promise of love, joy, and confusion. Either way, you will learn about the heart (along with all the other parts that surrounds it) and ultimately about human connection."

-Philip Martin, Author of The Zen Path Through Depression

Customer Reviews

Very informative and awesome insight

I found this book on internet dating to be extremely truthful. Layne puts her life on-line out in the open for all to see. This book opened my eyes to the trials and tribulations of on-line dating from a womans point of view. I laughed, got mad and cheered with her, through all she endured. I believe the same things happen to men but we won't admitt it. This book is a MUST read for anyone thinking about on-line dating. I highly recommend this book.

Unbelievable

This book is what I would describe as an emotional rollercoaster. I felt sorry for her, laughed with her, got mad with her, and found some smug satisfaction from her actions. To the person that rated this book so low, I wonder if you weren't the "Squeel & Squirt" chapter or something. The author is far from pitiful, though you have do to feel for her. I would highly recommend to any reader, whether you are looking for insight on the internet dating scene, or just a keen insight into someones psyche, this book will surely quench your thirst!

Great Book!!!!

This is a well written book that was fun to read. It is an honest account of online dateing from a womans perspective. As a guy I found it interesting to look at online dateing from a womans point of view. The book takes you an a journey of sad, happy, mad and finaly satisfaction. The struggles along the way the author had are to the point and a very good story. Read this book if you are looking for a good real life account of the joys and pitfalls of internet dateing, it is very interesting. You will not regret buying this book.

Witty and Charming..

...are two words to describe Layne Underwood. Her style of writing puts you right next to her as she sits in front of the computer and ventures into chat for the first time...and you genuinely feel her anguish as her heart breaks when her marriage falls apart. Reading her accounts, you feel almost voyeuristic...and there are times when you nod your head and smile, because you know exactly what it is she's talking about.
