Some devote a lifetime to the endless pursuit of love. Others spend even longer trying to outrun it. Between the shimmering lights of Paris and New Orleans’ commercialized sin, author J.D. Lexx embarks on his latest hunt. Once content to walk blindly in the light, these days he prowls a different world, one of shadow and sensuality where flesh yields to the probing hungers of fantasy. Driven by painful reminders of opportunity left unseized, he roams, tirelessly seeking the next in a growing collection of Crimson Confessions.
Yet these tales of conquest and seduction which have brought such notoriety are merely bait for a more transcendent prey. The one he truly stalks is infinitely more elusive, and lethal in her charms. To win her over, and write the happy ending to this unfinished story, an infamous collector of secrets must now lay his own bare for all to see. Chasing a trail of enticing exploits stretching from Sin City to Prague, every stop leads him back to the beginning…and one step closer to her.

What I LOVED:
The author has the ability to command you to really think about the words on the page. I said it about Food Lust, but it is worth repeating. JD LEXX forces you to experience erotica. He writes in a way that allows us to intellectually process his vision. As for the story, JD finds his Crimson Confessions as he continues on his journey to recapture a chance that he missed in his life. Second chances are sometimes elusive, but can be grasped only if we try to go after them. Mr. Lexx has yet again proven to me why I fell in love with the Erotica genre. I am being held captive by his intelligent writing and I am not sure I want to be released. (Not to be confused with getting a release.)
What I DIDN’T Love:
Not really much I can say here is there? I could say that it ended at all though right? In all honesty, there really wasn’t one thing I didn’t like. Uniqueness is not to be picked over.
Overall:
I really do not know what more to say. I hate to go on and on in a review and possibly give away something important to the story so this is all you get from me. GET THIS BOOK! Read it. Experience it. It was suspenseful and not your average run of the mill erotica story. The way the story is told is so completely rare and eloquent. It is another example of creativity in its finest form. Keep writing, Mr. Lexx. I CRAVE more from you. ;-)
International attorney, award-winning journalist and last of a modest raconteur bloodline, J.D. Lexx has been a storyteller for most of his life, and a student of humanity for even longer. Perhaps it's no wonder that he takes such pleasure in the subtle tease of the written word, in kindling curiosity with every shared tale and then daring the imagination to continue on beyond "The End".
A traveler by nature, Lexx spends most of his time between the frenzied streets of New York and the slower pace of New Orleans' Vieux Carré. When not exploring the sensual psyche through his writing, he can usually be found honing his skills in the kitchen or working alongside charitable organizations to promote literacy and tolerance--two causes not only reflected in his work but forever dear to his heart.
