Marianne! ~ a Journey Round a Golden Sun
Jean Marie Stine, CEO, Renaissance eBooks
A wonderful, breathtaking read with entrancing characters and an engrossing story. One of the best books I have read in years.

Hardcore BDSM fans won't find any sordid details here, but if you love the psychological aspects of the genre, the submission of a woman to her man, you have found a rare jewel in Marianne.

How can my tummy flutter, my heart feel trampled, and yet I’ve never
been more satisfied by a story? Marianne! isn't like any erotic romance I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Memorable characters, a lesson in pleasure, and the beauty of surrender.

I've complained often enough about erotica authors who need to work on
the craft. I've said that it's wonderful to be able to imagine a good
story and characters, and great to have a good understanding of BDSM,
but you've also got to be able to string sentences together
grammatically in a way that is pleasing to read. Simon Lowrie has a
beautiful writing style...
Coffee Time Romance
The overall storyline flowed really well, and while I may not
understand the whole concept of D/s lifestyles it did open my eyes
quite a bit with this tantalizing tale. Caution: Contains many forms of spanking including hand usage, canes, paddles, and belts.

Author Simon Lowrie has a way of making the oddest of characters likeable and believable. Marianne! definitely goes on this reader’s recommended reading
list for being extremely original and one of a kind.

The long and short of it is that I was simply blown away by this tale
of dominance and submission. It was told in style and with a very
understated grace that made this book a winner with me.

In my view, erotica deals primarily with desire and only secondarily with its fulfillment.
Based on these criteria, Simon Lowrie's intriguing novel Marianne! a Journey Round a Golden Sun is one of the most erotic things I've read in quite a while.
