This was recommended by an author whose blog I enjoy. However, at chapter 16, 54% into the book, nothing has happened except character introductions and erotica/light porn. Haven't even met the police investigators yet. A nasty, sadistic paedophile who will very likely be the villain of the piece has been introduced.

*I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review.*
This is a story of a young woman named Sarah Brown, who is taking care of her sick mother. She is a young, shy, and secretly, sexy librarian, who lives out her fantasies in the erotic section of the closed library. Sarah Brown loves her mother, but she is ready to live her life and fulfill her fantasies, as well as explore her sexuality; and with a trip to Europe, she’s able to do all that and more!
This is the first book in a series and I want to start out by saying that I can’t wait for the second book! This book was HOT! Michele Gwynn’s writing grabs you at the beginning of the book and just keeps pulling you in with Sarah’s enticing sexual encounters. You have to wonder how a girl like Sarah Brown got so lucky!
The Education of Sarah Brown has a wide range of characters; ranging from sinister, to sweet, to romantic, to erotic, and even a little crazy. With so many exciting characters the book keeps you on your curled toes! If you were to take out the erotic parts of the book it still has a great story line showing Sarah’s amazing demeanor and personality! I really enjoyed the twists and turns in this tale of adventure! The Education of Sarah Brown was a hard book to put down. I rate this book a 4.5!

An innocent librarian goes to Europe and lets herself be instantly seduced by a photographer. Then she gets caught up in a child slavery ring and things go downhill fast.
While for the most part I enjoyed the story, especially the descriptions and dialogue, it’s written too matter of fact, with little style. Choppy, without flow, making good things feel almost boring.
On to better stuff. I like how complex Sarah is, even in her abandonment issues, but I really love Elsa. The difference in her personality when she’s not being a Domme is wonderful to see. I like when the author repeats one of my fave lines: “free food always tastes better.” The police scenes were also well done.
What I didn’t like story-wise was all the coincidences. Of all the people in Berlin and Amsterdam—and even between the two cities—the same half dozen people keep running into each other. Add Barcelona and things become another level of ridiculous. Strains credulity far too much.
I knew what would happen when Tony joined in, but it was still a good way to lead to the inevitable conclusion.

After the death of her very straight-laced mother, a virginal Texas librarian takes a trip to Europe to discover the world and her sexuality.
This book is not for everyone. There are graphic sex scenes, including bondage and mild S& M, but the book is well written with some great character development and a plot that goes far beyond Sarah’s next sexual adventure. If you enjoy a little spice with your crime stories, Michele Gwynn’s Exposed will rock your socks.

*I received this book free in exchange for an honest review*
I tried, hard, but could not get into this story. I guess I just didn't understand what was really going on. I found it unsexy and boring. I tried over and over to get into this. It's about someone named Sarah, a pedophile, and crime suspense? I understand it's supposed to be an erotic thriller, but I could not stay interested in this story at all.

For the most part, this book is a five star, but the ground work in the middle took a little too long to unfold. Once the excitement of the chilling turn of events takes place, the action cannot be compared. It was fast paced and had my heart pounding. I have never hated a villain so much! I loved everything else about the book and would definitely recommend it!

Hot and steamy erotic story with a real plot. This is a real book with a real story, not just an excuse to get down and dirty.
