Smut-A-Thon: One Word Title
This may be the dirtiest book I've ever read. I mean the sex in this book was over the top but what else can one expect from a book by Zane.
Zane is the queen of Urban Erotica. I did so research and discovered that she use to have an Cinemax(aka Skinamax) series based off her books.
In Nervous we are introduced to Jonquinette Pierce who is a shy and mild mannered woman who has never been kissed, never been on a date and she's most certainly never had sex.....
At least she doesn't remember ever having sex with anyone.
See Jonquinette has suffered blackouts since she was a child and during these blackouts she does all kinds of things she wouldn't normally do.
Nervous was a pretty good read. If it wasn't for Smut-A-Thon I probably wouldn't have read this but I enjoyed it for what it was. The plot was rather contrived and predictable but the dirty, dirty, dirty sex scenes made up for everything else.
If you are into Erotically charged books then I suggest pick up a book by Zane she is the Queen after all!

I've just read my first trashy erotica novel. I went in knowing little about sexually explicit books only to be vicariously involved in a multi partner, Internet abusing, pan Georgian, sexual orgy. The sex was hard and fast, happening in three paragraphs or less and kinda scary and kinda interesting.
I read Nervous because several people have posted comments that if only the world would read more trashy erotic novels war and poverty would cease to exist. I don't know where they got their facts from but with that in mind I decided to read this book by Zane.
Chapter 1 starts out innocently as Jonquinette thinks about how nervous she is about everything in her life. Followed by chapter 2 of her alter ego Jade (Jonquinette has a split personality) getting it on fast and crazy back alley style. That's the rest of the book. A chapter of sweet, naive Jonquinette living her life afraid of sincere guys followed by a chapter of Jade gone bonkers looking to get it on before her chapter ends. I was really impressed with Jade, sometimes she only had 5 pages to find a guy convince him she didn't have any STD's and get busy. Oh yea then there was some character development throughout but I think its more of a side note until the end.
Speaking of which, candidly I didn't see the twist at the end coming. I was surprised. Hopefully you will be too if you have a chance to read Nervous.

This is my favorite Zane. The raw emotions this book portrays are amazing.

Audible recommended this to me.
Nervous made me a bit nervous. One never knows what will be in a book that involves sexual intercourse. It's kind of like a game because you never know what you are looking for until you either get it or you don't. Now this book did deliver sex, like so freaking much. However, it was like all up in my grill. I wanted to look away so many times but I just couldn't!
It was like a train wreck... that you just had to watch.
The characters in this book were okay but I couldn't really connect with them. In it, you will meet Jonquinette (don't trust me on spelling here - it was an audio) but she has an alter ego named Jade. Now at this point, I'm intrigued because I want to know more about Jade. She seems adventures and dangerous. Pretty early on, I'm thrown into her having sex in an alley.
Now I love smut in books. HOWEVER, I'm not a fan of smut in alleys, clubs, or anywhere freaking public. I just think it's so weird and it takes me down a dark path of questions. Did someone walk by and see? Do they like that kind of thing? Isn't it dirty? Would't it smell?
There's more questions but I'll stop at that point.
Throughout the book, Jade just gets in on. She finds a guy and does the deed. It started to get repetitive and boring at one point so I just wanted it to end. This need of mine eventually led to this book get 3 stars. The twist was good, not amazing, but kept me interested.
Overall, I would probably dive into another book by this author.

Nervous is one of many fiction novels by Zane. I chose this book because my friends and I have been trying to read any of her books that we come across. After reading Addicted I had to read this one too, especially since I had been left out of the numerous conversations about it. I of course was the only one whom had yet to read it.
The protagonist Jonquinette a young successful and beautiful Black woman. As the title entails she is very nervous, especially when it pertains to dealing with those of the opposite sex. Naturally she has no boyfirend. She tries hard to avoid men all together. The only problem is she keeps blacking out and waking up covered in the scent of a man, well several different men. Everyone, including Zane's audiance and excepting all but two characters in the novel (none of the two are Jon) are aware of what's going on. All Jon knows is that she has had these black outs since she was young but she hadn't always woken up with the smell of a man or men on her body and the more it happens, the more she starts to worry. She goes to sexual addiction meetings but feels so out of place because as far as she is concerned, she is a virgin. We know that she has a split personality that is the total opposite of Jon. Her name is Jude. Jude is the promiscuous beautiful black woman that is concerned with nothing other than having sex as much as she can before Jon "wakes up". Finally after a couple nights of running out of the meetings in tears she is confronted by a fellow member, Zoe Reynard. Zoe offers to talk to Jon if she feels comfortable and refers her to the doctor that helped her through all of her problems. Nervous about going to see a shrink and to embarrassed to go back to the meetings Jon continues on with life as if nothing is going on. Just then a handsom man named Mason moves into her apartment building there is a mutual affinity but Jon is too nervous to let anything blossom between the two. Jude of course unhappy about the situation instigates more problems for Jon. After a couple run ins with Mason her black outs occur more often and she finally decides to start seing the shrink, Dr. Marcella, and Jude stars causing even more problems for her. Dr. Marcella uncovers the dark secrets from Jon's past and lets Jon in on it. More and more twists are revealed through out the novel. The plot continues on to unveil why Jude is there. The plot also follows the turbulent relationshop between Mason and Jon. Oh and there is a HUGE plot twist in the end that you will have to just read to figure out.
As Jon struggles with man vs. man and man vs. self conflicts of her past and present she looks for how to deal with them for a better future. Meanwhile, sex, nervousness, fear, love, and secrets are all reoccuring motifs and symbols throughout the novel. Jude knows something is wrong but she doesn't know what. She also knows that she cannot always go through life being deathl affraid of men her whole life or she'll miss out on one of the few good ones left, Mason.
Zane writes in a very informal manner making this book an easy read. She writes in first person for all characters and also takes on a thord person point of view at times to add elemets of curiosity that later evolve into plot twists. She wastes little time with elaborate discription but the images are far from difficult to image because of the settings she chooses for her story. The book reads fast giving it the feeling of a movie. Its an attention grabber and keeper. Zane really utillizes elements of suspense and surprise to keep the readers' attentions. Each character's different personality is displayed through the context of their chapters. By reading what is written it is obvious exactly who is talking (which comes in handy for the HUGE plot twist). When a page is filled with profanity and talk about sex, without a doubt it's Jude talking. If a page reads with a calm comforting tone, without a doubt it's Dr. Marcella. All of these factors do contribute to an interesting read, but it does take away from the depth of the characters. So though it may be an interesting read and it makes you think there is nothing intellectually compelling that one could take away form this book. It's purely "for your entertainment". I would recommend it to a mature audiance that wants to be kept interested or is looking for something that will entertain and not hurt the brain. It's a fun book and a quick read. i enjoyed it. :)

I"m not that big of a Zane fan (I like a little plot with my sex) but this book was more story than sex and I really enjoyed it. It was a delicious little mystery to unfold!

I remember reading Zane in high school. Now I remember why I had no business reading these! 😂
April 2, 2013
If I was grading this book on ridiculous, it would be getting five stars. But rating it on quality? It's lucky it gets one. I guess I can see why Zane books are so popular, the same way I can see why Justin Bieber and Brittney Spears are popular. They're catchy, they're sexy. But they're not...good. I'm glad I tried it, but I probably won't be venturing into this realm anytime soon.

SPLIT PERSONALITIES!!!!!
I have not read another book that had the main character caught up in real split personalities. The way we learn about the main character and her life and what has happened to her, we empathize, and then when we learn that she has a split personality because of past trauma...wow!!!!!

I was recommended this book by a friend. The book Nervous is about a girl named Jonquinette Pierce who has never had a boyfriend. The weekdays belong to Jonquinette and the weekends belong to, Jude. Jude emerged in second grade when Jonquinette kept getting picked on by other girls. Jude is the type that doesn't care what she do. Jude would use violence and, Jonquinette wouldn't know anything about it. When Jonquinette is seeking psychiatric help, Jude fears it might be the end for her.
Later, in the book Jonquinette meets a man who she is really having feelings for. His name is Mason. They first meet when he moved into her apartment building. Never having a boyfriend Jonquinette never really knew what so say when Mason always would flirt with her. Se opened up a little bit and they were starting to talk (date). But, one day Mason came up to visit and check on Jonquinette because he had heard she was sick and Jude had taken over. Mason not knowing about Jonquinette problem didn't know what to do or think. Jude wanting to ruin their relationship had told Mason everything "Jude" had did. The next day Jonquinette noticed Mason didn't speak to her nd knew something was wrong. He had told Jon everything that had hape that night between him and Jude. Jonquinette had explained her prolblem to him and being that he was really in love with her he told her that he was with her the whole way.
Jonquinette's psychiatrist said that it would have been best if her parents were to attend her meetings with her. So Jon got in touch with her father who had left them about six years ago because some woman had came to her parent's house saying that she was pregnant with Jon's father baby. Which, was a lie the whole thing was Jude's plan. Being that Jon's father and mother were starting to spend more time with each other they had decided to get re-married. Of course Jude thought it was stupid while, Jon thought it was a great idea. One day at one of their family meetings the truth was coming out from everybody, everyone had someting hidden from the rest. That day Jonquinette also found out that the reason she has that dsorder was because...

So I finished it. I read this book on the advise of my sister-in-law......needless to say I think it could have been WAY better! My rating is more like 3.5 than a full 4 stars just because I think that it could have been written differently to have made more of an impact. A lot of the twists and turns I could see from a mile away, although the story was interesting it was very predictable. I haven't read Zane in a long time and I probably won't read the other books in this standalone series.

Zane is very well known for her sexy novels. But underneath them all are deep, moving stories with very well-rounded characters.
If you are easily offended, then books by Zane are not for you. But, if you don't mind a good story with really good sex thrown in, then these are books for you. "Addicted" and "Nervous" (the sequel to "Addicted") were awesome. I highly recommend them both.
Awesome narration by Nicole Small. I will seek out other audiobooks with her as narrator.

When I first read started reading this book, I thought the main character was carzy and she had mental issues. But as I read further along, I began to understand more and more why she is the way she is. Some of the events that took place in her life I connected to because it either happen to me or I've seen it first hand. I really enjoyed reading this book, kept me interested.

Judeeeee judeee judeeee !! That Jude had me hot with all the bad decision making she made and all the bodies!! I’m like Jon you can’t feel this you gotta feel what’s happening !! But this book brings so much awareness to mental health and how you really need to be attentive to your children and family surrounding them. I highly recommend this book, 5 stars all the way !!

4 Stars for Nervous (audiobook) by Zane read by Nicole Small.
This is creepy story about a woman who has multiple personalities and one of them is a sex addicted sociopath. The book is explicit and disturbing but it’s well done for what it is.

By the end of this book I was like ???
From the start I was enjoying this.
I read Zane a lot growing up (knowing damn well I shouldn't have been lol)
The plot went from predictable to a cop out, because there was so much build up only for
It was all just like a car accident on the side of the road I couldn't look away.
The start had potential.. the sex scenes were fun and raunchy which is fine but damn by the end Judes sex extravaganzas were just about as random an strange as it gets.
The love interest was very insta lovey from the jump and just too damn sappy for me.
It all was coming to a close of what exactly was happening as far as the story goes only for it to take a huge left turn and then be rushed to wrap up it was just .. under whelming and disappointing. I didn't have high expectations but damn lol the more I think about it the more I want to give it 2-2.5 stars but I'll leave it at 3 for the mild enjoyment of it I guess.

This novel sits at 3.5 stars
After finishing Vengeance by Zane I was compelled to pick up Nervous.
This book reads more like a mystery novel rather than erotica. It plays with the mind for sure. The story kind of reminded me of the movie Cat Woman with Hallie Barry. The main character Jon, she's a good girl by day and a bad girl by night. The writing was sexy and smooth. The only thing I had fault with was the fluffy sex scenes. They didn't propel the plot forward which I found myself zoning in and out. It's one of the reasons why I shy away from erotic novels. The romance between Jon and Manson was good. I felt Mason was an undercover freak. It seemed as if he got aroused hearing about Jon's crazy nights. The ending took me by surprise. Didn't see it coming. However it lacked foreshadowing. I felt the author threw people underneath the bus for shock value.
The story is set in Atlanta and narrated by a young black woman by the name of Jon. She seeks psychological help when experiencing these random episodes of blackouts. Later on, she is encouraged to dig into her past and she discovers some shocking family secrets and much more.
If you read Zane's novel Vengeance and liked it, you will like this one. It's scandalous and mentally twisted. This makes an excellent midnight read. It's a page turner for sure.

"this is one of the best books ive ever read because even thought it has a lot of sex in it, it has also taught me alot about having MPD"
my outake on this book dealing with conflict is that the internal conflict that she faces with her multiple personalities is one of the toughest conflicts in a book that i have ever read. She has to deal with not only the challenges of her daily life but she also had to deal with the damage that her other persdonalities were giving her such as; waking up with her vagina hurting and not knowing how that happen. in her concious mind she was still a virgin. she had to deal with people coming to her and telling her about situations that she caused when she didnt even know what they were talking about. she had to deal with external and internal conflicts and her other personalities did not allow her to get help from anyone else. anyone who got close to her was destroyed quickly. this has to by far the toughest conflict that a person should have to go through.

Jonquinette is a sweet, nervous, and shy girl. She is not good at talking to men nor being assertive. She seeks the help of a therapist after waking up several times in slutty clothing, and with her private parts aching as if she has had sex, but she has no memory of having sex.
Jonquinette has an alter ego named Jude. Jude is a bad girl. Sassy, assertive, and a bit crazy. Jude does all the things that Jonquinette cannot do. I love the way Zane writes. This book was erotic without being overly sexed, and had a great plot.

This book is raunchy and really doesn't make sense. I know its pretty easy for someone to have sex with anyone but the way Jude was getting it on with strangers? I just don't get. And her parents and boyfriend ignoring the impact of her randomly having sex with people? Just doesn't make sense. And the breakthrough? If everyone could get the results of therapy this fast? People could get therapy through the drive through!
I can't even say it was enjoyable...just raunchy.

This was an exceptional well thought out and written story. I read it thinking it would be full of some very elaborate erotic scenes, but to my surprise, it was the story line that I enjoyed more. This book kept me interested from it's beginning until the very end.
I enjoyed this read very much and will be listening to more of Zane's work.

There is nothing erotic or sexy about a woman who acts out do to sexual abuse. Horrible novel. If I knew the end I would not have purchased this book. It was mislabeled. This is not erotica in any stretch on the imagination. Tisk, Tisk, Shame on you Zane.

I liked this book. With the character having multiple personalities you would think this would be a confusing read but, it held it's own. It was very fast pasted and I did not find a boring part in this book. Heavy erotica but it definitely got the point across. Good read.

Ok wow, let me just say Zane blew me away. Like I can’t even tell you the amount of times I clutched my chest or screamed out loud during my listen. I absolutely loved the topic of mental illness Zane discussed. She did it with such a raw realness even focusing on how others around you react. She did a phenomenal job with this story. I can’t say too much without giving it away but man this is a must read! The woman just never freaking disappoints. She reminded exactly how and why I fell in love with her words with this one.

Joan Oh Joan. My girl really went through the ringer. The plot was good, but overall I feel it was a little too detailed. It took a while to get to the plot. Overall I enjoyed it, but this isn’t something I would read again.
