Product Description
Helena Saunders has not fallen in love since she was sixteen, not since she defied her father by dating Timmy, a boy her father felt she was too young to be serious about. Then her father up and died of a heart attack, and Timmy moved away. Blaming herself for her father's death, she buries herself in books, becoming a librarian and sometimes dating Robert Garza, a roughneck in the oil fields of Odessa, Texas, but she won't let herself get too involved romantically, afraid of emotional commitment, much to her sister Kathy's dismay. Kathy and her husband Frank can't have children though they have tried.
Helena thinks she's happy, has everything figured out, until one evening when Frank and Kathy leave for the bowling alley and a very tall and handsome blond stranger knocks on the door, wanting to rent the back room. Suddenly, Helena's world is completely shaken, so mesmerized is she by this mysterious man. She finds herself falling in love with him immediately, but it isn't long and she begins to realize that maybe he's not quite human. ... Read more

Excellent writing... Just too raunchy for comfort!
The author is excellent in his writing skills, but Tan Lines is just smut. I've read novels before that contained sex scenes, but the sex scenes in this book were just too much. They were disgusting and completely perverted at times. If it weren't for the raunchiness of the book, I might rate higher. On the contrary, however, if it weren't for the really excellent story-telling skills of J. J. Salem, I would rate lower. This book, unfortunately, does not deserve its keep on my bookshelf. I am still debating if giving a two star rating is too much.

I had no expectations at all about this book but it was one of the best reads I've had in a long time
I had no expectations at all about this book but it was one of the best reads I've had in a long time. Very, pacey, very sexy and lots of fun but it's not a fluffy read either, it gets you wondering about what's important in life and what really makes a woman happy. The book details the lives of three women; feminist and columnist Liza Pike, Kellyanne Downey wannabee actress and mistress to a rich older man and Billie Shelton, a rock goddess who is on a path of self-destruction. Friends since college the three meet up in the Hamptons for a summer of fun, bitching and partying. The humour and one liners are razor sharp and the story runs like a train. I stormed through this book and wanted more. Definitely recommend.

Pure trash
This was one of the worst books that I've ever read. To put it on a level with Jacqueline Susann is ridiculous. I am ashamed to admit that I read as much as I did, hoping that it would get better. Most of the characters have very little redeeming value and the crudeness of the language was just too much.

Jackie Collins Wannabe
It's obvious from reading the author's website that he wants to be the next Jackie Collins. The problem is he tried way too hard and fell way too short.

There's a difference between a "smut novel" and smut. This was nothing but smut. And while well-written, too much was left hanging and unexplained, which made for a very unsatisfying read.

Depressing Trash
Tan Lines is one of the worst books I've ever read.I was disgusted by the majority of the characters.Apparently the author doesn't realize that his main characters should have some redeeming qualities.Instead he fills Tan Lines with awful people doing reprehensible things.I started the book disliking his characters and story and ended up truly hating both.If you want to waste a couple hours of your life wallowing in depressing filth buy this book.Otherwise steer clear.In the future I will pass over anything written by this author.It's sad, because it's clear that he knows how to write.If he'd dialed back the cynicism and given his characters some basic morals it might have saved the book from being atrocious. ...

Excerpt: Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than x-rays, in the range 10 nm to 400 nm, and energies from 3eV to 124 eV. It is so named because the spectrum consists of electromagnetic waves with frequencies higher than those that humans identify as the color violet. UV light is found in sunlight and is emitted by electric arcs and specialized lights such as black lights. As an ionizing radiation it can cause chemical reactions, and causes many substances to glow or fluoresce. Most people are aware of the effects of UV through the painful condition of sunburn, but the UV spectrum has many other effects, both beneficial and damaging, on human health. The discovery of UV radiation was intimately associated with the observation that silver salts darken when exposed to sunlight. In 1801 the German physicist Johann Wilhelm Ritter made the hallmark observation that invisible rays just beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum were especially effective at darkening silver chloride-soaked paper. He called them "de-oxidizing rays" to emphasize their chemical reactivity and to distinguish them from "heat rays" at the other end of the visible spectrum. The simpler term "chemical rays" was adopted shortly thereafter, and it remained popular throughout the 19th century. The terms chemical and heat rays were eventually dropped in favor of ultraviolet and infrared radiation, respectively. T...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=31990 ... Read more

Are you that unfortunate individual who just a few years ago thought it might be a good idea to bake your skin in the sun so you could have rich glowing brown cocoa colored skin like all of the big movie stars?

Not so long ago (less than twenty years ago in fact) a deep rich sun tan was accepted far and wide as a status symbol. After all it was only the rich people in society who had the time to slather tanning oil all over their bodies and gleam in the sun! ... Read more

What happens on the island stays on the island. This was the battle cry of the tourists that descended on us each week. If they only knew I could write this might have turned out differently. Sex, Surf and Sunburn is a true account of my experiences while working as a scuba instructor in the Caribbean. Its 1999 and I am 42. I have no wife, no mortgage, no kids (no, Im not gay) and no major responsibilities. I apply to Club Med and they send me to one of their resorts labeled a party village for singles. From my lovers to my enemies to all the humor and drama behind a job that averaged sixteen hour days six days a week, youll find it here. I quickly learn that working in paradise is not as easy as I thought it might be. So get comfortable, grab a drink and come spend thirteen months with me and get a feel of what it's like to work while the rest of the world comes to your house for vacation. Also on this site check out ""Down and Dirty: Confessions of a Chief of Sports"" by Greg Usas. ... Read more
