This was a mind blowing book! A must read if you like the naughty stuff! I gave this 5 stars. He had me going and thinking……


I was blown away with this highly imaginative story awesomely written novel. It Rocked! I didn’t move at all when reading this book and when I was done, I had to take a shower. This book is erotically intense and keep me in great suspense. There better be a follow up novel! Tryst is a young woman from a highly religious family who is sexual repressed and overly wholesome. She answers an advertisement in the newspaper that promises to take her on a wild ride to explore her inner self. She accepts the challenge to experience new things (LOL) and embarks on an erotic journey.

If I had to pick a room to stay in all day, I would have to chose Bernardo. They should have ‘resorts’ like this for me to go vacation.

Twelve Doors to Ecstasy by John Tucker
This is a well written, mouth watering adventure in erotica that has some twists that kept me reading!
The story’s foundation is laid out perfectly with Tryst being a sexually suppressed miss whose views towards sex are carved out from her religious upbringing. She finds freedom once she leaves home, but still has closed views towards many exchanges. When the love of her life walks out on her and tells her that he is not sexually satisfied, she feels a need to be more open to explore.

I love how her initial thoughts or reasoning’s for her acts was to get revenge (in her mind) on her estranged boyfriend. Soon she realizes just how enjoyable sex can be with the assistance of a “research study” for sexually repressed women. The author reeled me in even further with the apparent knowledge of how research calls are often done and then he adds a dark twist to it (smiles).

The twelve doors revealed more than just sexual escapades and I love when erotic is more than just sex. The characters emotions, thoughts and dreams are exposed behind these doors. The author makes you think about a few things (or at least I thought about a few) including what people would do to be accepted, what they will do for money or to prove themselves to someone who doesn’t matter.
The research study, which is an adventure for Tryst, leads to an even more adrenaline filled adventure once the truth of the study is revealed. I don’t want to tell how it ends, but I have a feeling Tryst will be back.

I give this 5 stars and would love to see this story line come to life as a movie!

If you love an erotic read with a plot- this is one that should be on your shelf!!

“A good girl who wants to be bad.”

Tryst is fed up with her own sexual inhibitions—and so is her boyfriend. When he walks out she resolves to change. She books in to “A Study of Sexually Repressed Females”, run by Anders, a man who can no longer perform sexually but enjoys watching women achieve fulfilment. She’s to go to a kind of sex hotel and select experiences by entering twelve of the twenty-four rooms without first seeing what each contains. To encourage compliance she’s offered half a million dollars on completion.
“I can’t say no to a sexual awakening and half a million bucks, Mr. Anders.”

Twelve very varied sexual experiences are described in loving detail, but in the background of Tryst’s sexual awakening is a conflict between Anders and his murderous security men and the employees in his sex hotel. This adds an edge to the litany of sexual encounters, and provides additional excitement—if any were needed! Anders is a dangerous, manipulative man and one feels concern for the conspirators as well as for Tryst, who remains calm and innocent of the physical danger until late on in the story.

The book is competently written, and although the story’s told primarily from Tryst’s point of view, the writing is clearly masculine. Music is referenced many times and is used to set atmosphere. Tryst is astonishingly compliant and trusting: when she’s drugged and transported to the sex hotel she shows little concern. I enjoyed the book, but feel the exciting sub-plot could have been given more prominence.

I had purchased this book after being at a party, and I am so happy I did... This was one hot scorching bone melting read. I actually connected with Tristina Who is the main character in the book at the beginning you can say she was almost innocent Innoway she doesn't do a lot of things doesn't believe the right until she gets dumped on her ass and she decides she doesn't want to be the old Tristina she wants to be the new and improved Tryst.. I'm not where the story takes off I could not put the book down every page every chapter was something new something hot happening and a couple parts that would make you say OMG!! This is not a book you take to work or take on a bus to read because trust me you'll be blushing and looking around to make sure no one actually sees what you just read.. Anyways back to the story when she decides that she wants to be the new and improved tryst she responds to an ad in the paper that opens up a whole new world whole new self and a whole new experience for her. The deal 12 rooms 12 sexual experiences in three days to help her open up her self and her desires but at what cost? Because not everything turns out to be what it seems.
This is definitely a five star hot steamy read and I would definitely recommend this as a great read if you can handle the heat

John Tucker has wrote a story as I have never seen before. after the first chapter or so I really thought this was going to be a three star or less rating. It started out slow and the girl just seemed to clueless. However as john goes in to describe the break up and why she could not do what the boyfriend wanted so that was the end. I feel that the story could have given more detail on Ander's story and all. the story started to pick up after Tryst met Anders for the first time what you expect to happen in this story flips at almost every chapter after this point in the story. It made the pages keep turning after this. when I did have to put the book down to cook dinner the whole time I was cooking I was thinking of the story trying to figure it out. pretty much it kept me intrigued and that my friends is what a book is all about.

Things I disliked about the book was it seemed rushed almost as if there was a deadline to meet and John ran out of time rushed. I also did not like the end i think the cliff hanger should have indulged us just a little. John is saying the end for now as if there were more to the story and i think there is a lot more to this story

Overall i give this book a 5 star rate and look forward to the continuation of this story

A feast of erotica and a very exciting thriller.

When Tryst gets dumped by her boyfriend because she is not sexually adventurous enough for him, she applies to go on a special course for ladies who want to explore and expand their sexual parameters. The fact that she is offered a large sum of money to participate adds to the attraction.
Tryst then enters on the most exciting few days in her life so far. She is offered a choice of rooms to enter and each one contains some sort of erotic delight. Everything, from lesbian sex to anal, is accommodated and she finds herself becoming a more than willing pupil. All the lessons are observed remotely by the creepy “Svengali” of the company called Anders. It soon becomes clear that his interest in Tryst is not just confined to helping her learn new and exciting ways of shagging. How this works out, adds an exciting skin-crawling dimension to the tale.
This is not just an erotic tale, although the sex scenes are graphic enough to satisfy all lovers of erotica. The sub-story is an integral part of the plot and it deepens the book, so that it can satisfy thriller fans, as well as fans of the earthier types of entertainment. It richly deserves its five stars.

Deep scorching heat!

Putting a pen in the hands of author John Tucker is a risky thing, especially when his imagination starts working. Twelve Doors to Ecstasy is a boiling result. Ordinary and innocent Tristina “Tryst” Sanyon usually settles for the mundane, the ordinary work day, until her world collides: her boyfriend dumps her, but her boss seduces her, and Tryst’s best friend, Dayna, encourages her to respond to a suspicious yet tempting newspaper ad.

And then the doors start opening; doors leading Tryst from repressed innocence into the wildlife of unsuppressed carnal desires. A lifestyle designed by one man who wants Tryst for himself, but first she must pass through his tightly monitored and controlled human laboratory of sexual experimentation.

Needless to say, Tryst is no longer an ordinary, innocent woman when she closes behind her the final door to ecstasy. But author John Tucker leaves one door open after Tryst’s ecstatic sexual experimentation. What’s next for her in her exotic odyssey? What new levels of pleasure does she seek? What different sexual sensations is she willing to try, wants to try?

Only author John Tucker knows what’s next for Tryst? Keep writing Mr. Tucker!

When I sit down to read a book, I’m doing it because I’m looking for an escape, an adventure or a fantasy.

Well, Twelve Doors To Ecstasy has all of the above and then some.

First off, WOW! Thank you John Tucker for sparking my imagination. This book has everything that a well written piece of erotica has to have. I was kept on the edge of my seat through this entire book. I could not put it down. When I finished it, there were two things on my mind… a cold shower and when the sequel was coming out.

This book has a bit of everything. The escape for me was what was behind each of the twelve doors… the adventure was having a plot that left you saying WTF… And the fantasy… you learn about different sexual fetishes that you may or may not be comfortable with.

You learn about the wholesome Tristina and watch her transform from a sexually repressed woman to a woman... well, I do not want to give away the plot. But yes, Mr. Tucker, not only do I want more, I need more.

This is a must read… and make sure that you either have a significant other around or a cold shower when you are through!! Definitely a five star book in my honest opinion!!

I won this book from one event.

When I started to read this I thought this would be just some mindless fuckfest, but I came soon to realize that I was wrong and there were actually good plot there too.

The main character Tryst seems quite frigid at first but after her boyfriend dumps her cruelly she wants to change and show that he is wrong.

I liked how this story was story about her growth, but there were more sinister things in it too.

Each "side" character were really interesting and everything made me think about each ones motives to what they do.

After I had fully finished reading this I found myself wanting to read what would happen next and part of me hopes that if there was a sequel to this story Tryst would find someone to love too. Maybe I am a bit naive like that when I think like that, espeacilly while I fully know I am reading Erotica. And then there is this more sinister part of me where I hope she could actually get proper revenge against her ex-boyfriend.

While thinking how many stars I think this story deserves...well I loved it so I will give full five stars to it.

I hope yo get a change to read more amazing stories from John!

Tryst was brought up in a very religious household and Tryst was very naive and very inhibited when it came to sex. Her live in boyfriend dumps her because of her being so innocent when it comes to bedroom stuff. After this Tryst see's an ad in the paper that interests her and this is when the story really gets good! I love Tryst's sense of humor and she is someone that I could know today.

Mr. Tucker wrote one very hot book! The story kept me turning page by page and I just couldn't put it down. The sex was off the charts and had me sweating and I wasn't even the one having the sex! I can not wait to read more from this author. He has an excellent way of describing things that made me feel like I was the one in the story! I am definitely keeping this in my library for a night when I need a hot book to make me forget my troubles. Thank you Mr. Tucker for bringing another fan (me) into your world.

Trysta was brought up in a very religious household therefore making her naive when it comes to sex. She hasn't given nor received oral and she certainly hasn't explored her boundaries. When she comes to find Henry packing his bags telling her she is boring, she knows she needs to change this.

After a steamy encounter with her boss, she answers a mysterious ad that guarantees to help her find what she has been missing. She goes to this meeting seeking refuge. A chance to change herself. To become someone she wouldn't recognize.

Insert a mysterious building with many doors but she may only choose three per floor. This opens all kinds of opportunities for Trysta. She knows after she leaves, she won't soon forget the wonderful experiences.

This story has something for everyone. A great plot, a beautiful story line, and wonderful characters. It opens your eyes sexually to fetishes that you may not comfortable with. Join Trysta as she goes on this journey to become someone new.

VERY GOOD. I was shocked that this was written by a man. The book had great details and feels from both a male and females point of view. The book was vey long and with the price. It is a wool that I would read again and would look forward to a book 2.
The main character is tristina. She is a sexually depressed girl that won't do much. She was left by her current boyfriend since she couldn't please him. Her co-worker sees an add to take a test about sexually history and gets 200. If she is picked, she is offered more money to complete the adventure. She passes and has to experience 12 doors of sexual adventures. When she is done she gets 1/2 million plus all the learned experiences along the way.

What a ride ! Tryst is a young and sexually inexperienced young woman, who decides to take matters in her own hands to explore her sexuality. She responds to an ad in the newspaper and so begins her journey with the Twelve doors to ecstasy. Behind each door is an experience that will make Tryst question her own moral and sexuality. Mix the story with a man with no moral and some hot new friends that will do what they can to help Tryst explore her own boundaries while keeping her safe. The erotic scenes are hot and mixed with the suspense it all makes a great story. Twelve Doors to Ecstasy

This was the one book that I was most interested in reading! I could not wait to read this one. I actually bumped this one up to the top of my TBR list. And let me tell you I was not disappointed! Tryst is an innocent who is on a mission to awake her sexuality. Tryst has 12 doors to choose to explore her sexuality. Which doors will she choose? What are behind the doors that Tryst chooses? Erotica is one of my favorite genres to read, and this is one of my all-time favorite Erotica books that I have read! If you are looking for a sexy and hot as hell book this is the one you should read! I would recommend this book and I would have given it more than 5 stars if I was able to!

This book caught me off guard. A friend recommended it to me, saying it was an erotic romance book. Erotic, yes. Romance, no.
It also could have been also labeled action, as a lot of people get killed and the main characters flee for their lives.
The editing also needed a little work as there were countless places where people were talking but quotation marks were missing.
The story itself was okay, even though there were a few places where the author cut away from what could have been an erotic scene to go back to Mr. Anders and what his henchmen were up to.

This first book is a twisted funhouse of sexual experiences! Innocence meets Sexual deviant to the extreme. The main characters bring you right into the story and make you feel like you are there going thru each door right with them. Tryst's venture into the unknown is a fantasy fulfilled for many of us that are too afraid to say so. My suggestion... Keep something nearby to work out your own kinky needs while reading this book! I would have finished reading it in the first night except I work .. Sob!!!

An offer to expose a young woman to new sexual horizons and in return feed a twisted multi-millionaires voyeurisism turns out to be not as symbiotic as it first seemed. The author, using different scenarios and a variety of characters, gives a graphic and titillating account an ingenue's journey to sexual liberation. The plot is predictable yet will keep your eyes glued through imaginative and explorative sexually stimulating scenes.

Although I've read other books by John Tucker, I was not prepared for the wild ride of Twelve Doors to Ecstasy. Following Tristina's journey from sexual neophyte to mistress of her domain was eye-opening and educational. Although the story is erotica at its finest, the sex is the covering for a complicated tale of manipulation and deceit. This was one hell of a story and I really hope there's another.

I found John thru Facebook Tall, Dom and Dirty.... and had to find out what his erotic style is like... If you love erotica this is an excellent start to a new series and Author.
I found myself relating very closely with Tryst as I was bought up in a religious home, and that exactly how you feel and relate.
Lucky Tryst to find herself in such a learning curve. Great story line, loved the build up and the great seines behind the coloured doors.

I cant believe this was written by a male. The story is hot. To be taken through so many sexual scenarios in such a short time just may be one's fantasy. I love that it has some serious drama mixed in with it. I can't tell what happens, but if your over 18 years of age.....this is a good "naughty" read!!

I am not typically an erotica reader, but I LOVED this book!! Twelve Doors was a fun read with an amazing plot. There are several twists and turns one wouldn't expect. And, there really is something different around every corner, behind every door. I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to see what happens next!!
