“ FIVE STARS! "A succession of snippets each leaving you addicted to more," is how I'd describe the brilliant way John Locke tells his story in "Saving Rachel." Just like the old Lay's potato chip ad, "I bet you can't eat just one," I'd say, "I bet you can't read just one." Right from the get-go he creates a seductive, sensuous, and seriously entertaining storyline laid out like a storyboard of an action movie being created.”

“ FIVE STARS! I have only recently come to know the fiction written by John Locke and his work will easily be at the top of my favorites list. John has truly created a unique form of literature that is almost in its own genre. If you appreciate books that really move, surprise you on every page and are built upon a premise having layers that make you think, then you will not be disappointed.”

To us, and those just like us.

Damn few of us. Pity, that.

Prologue

Donovan Creed

We’d met on the internet, exchanged emails, and she was married. But she accepted a dinner date anyway, and showed up. We toasted, talked, flirted unmercifully, shared a sissy dessert, and then went to my room for a nightcap. The drinks came and went, then we cuddled and kissed and I started to undo her blouse and she said, “I can’t.”

“Can’t what?”

“Do this.”

“Why not?”

She looked as though she didn’t mean it, but said, “It’s not right.”

“Oh.”

“Don’t be mad.”

“I’m not. I thought things were going well. I was wrong.”

“It’s not that. Really, it’s just, we shouldn’t do this.”

“It’s me?”

“No, of course not! You’re incredible! I’ve had a wonderful time.”

“But things could have gone better tonight. For you, I mean.”
