Amazon Reviews for Naughty Boyfriends
Think 'Eat, Pray, Love' and Naughty! , | By |
"Businessman in TX" (Dallas, TX) |
This review is from: Naughty Boyfriends (Kindle Edition)
I enjoyed `Eat, Pray, Love' and was looking for something similar and got lucky! Naughty Boyfriends by Jade is BETTER! This book is about a woman who is looking for love in San Francisco. Her exploits are crazy, funny and sexy. Jade is intelligent, alive, wild and honest. She is the kind of woman every man would want, I certainly do. She tries a dinner dating club, a Tantric Crystal, and even lands in jail while speed dating.
I could not put this book down and now am looking for Jade's next adventure!

The Heart & Soul of A Woman..., , | By |
"True Believer" (Inland Empire, CA) |
This review is from: Naughty Boyfriends (Paperback)
Jade writes with such open honesty and candor that makes this book a you just can't put it down read. She really does grasp the heart and soul of all women who have felt the intense and sometimes consuming longing to just be loved and cherished and instead are often met only by men who use and abuse them and then leave them feeling empty and alone in the aftermath of another unfulfilling relationship. Jade takes you through her life from a young girl's broken heart of this love longed for and not felt from her father to a beautiful and successful woman who has it all except that love she still is longing for and seems to keep just eluding her grasp. Through it all, she leaves you with the hope and peace that life bitter or sweet is meant to be embraced and felt to the fullest... that "the brilliant sun rises in all the colors of our lives" and that love will come in it's own time and place if we are just willing to step out and take the chance to find it.
What Women Want , | By |
"Radek Dobias" |
This review is from: Naughty Boyfriends (Paperback)
Freud said: "I know what men want, but I still don't know what women want."
Freud should have read Jade's book.
I don't normally read books in this category, but I'm glad I made an exception. It is a story of a woman looking for love... in all the wrong places. Jade is an attractive middle-age woman. Single for the first time in years, she sets out to find that perfect illusory mate.
What I find particularly interesting is the glimpse into female soul that the book affords. Men are so often puzzled by women: what they feel, why they act the way they do, and what makes them tick. Jade lets us peek at her cards. She takes us for a wild ride and helps us understand her decisions... from a female perspective. That alone is worth the price of admission.
A lovely work of human spirit.
A powerful story of the will of a woman's SPIRIT!, | By |
"Claudia J. Chandler 'CJ' " (New York) |
This review is from: Naughty Boyfriends (Paperback)
The truest light is that which illuminates the darkness.....and Jade has done so beautifully. She is a TRUTH seeker.......Jade has written of her EXPERIENCES, coming to the TRUTH that all experience is of PURPOSE. She continued to ride through the flames and did not stop! Her light shone through the darkness even when she could not see. She TRIUMPHED.....She FOUND THE TRUTH. This book touched my soul and I have, through her journey, FELT, EXPERIENCED, EMBRACED, and have come to LOVE JADE!!!!! What a gift! Jade speaks with honesty, truthfulness, vulnerability, fear, and especially love....Jade opens her world up to the reader and shows us that life is not quite as dark as we may sometimes feel. A powerful story of the will of SPIRIT!!! A+
Victim of her own innocently manipulative ego., | By | P. Lee "PKL" (Tucson, AZ) |
This review is from: Naughty Boyfriends (Paperback)
Although a work of "fiction," Naughty Boyfriends sounds uncannily honest, and I would not be surprised if it were all true. The book reveals what happens when a smart, attractive woman goes through "life" with a gaping hole in her soul. Utter confusion of desire/wantingness versus true love and happiness. We all hear about how we are made up of the mind, body, and spirit. Well Jade has the mind, the body, but completely misses the essence of her spirit (as do many of us). The result is one empty romp after another, a victim of her own "beauty" and "intelligence."
Jade's story shows how tenacious the human ego is, and how it has to plummet to the depths of despair in order to finally surrender to God (and by grace and good fortune she does). Therefore, Jade is also all of us when run by our own egos and selfish desires. In my opinion, Naughty Boyfriends is just an intro to a Life that has just begun! And of course, the words she finds on a bench overlooking the San Francisco Bay gives us just a glimpse of what we are to realize along with her:
"But I've moved on
So, enjoy it all with me."

This review is from: Naughty Boyfriends (Paperback)
Love this book! A candid look at how the absence of a father in a young girls life can send her on a reckless path. Jade desperately looks to find the one true love that keeps eluding her. With each failed relationship the pain of Jades childhood comes crashing down on her. Through time Jade realizes the connection of her childhood and emerges stronger and more confident. I wonder what new chapters could be added to this book. This is a great book for fathers with daughters and girls who have grown up missing their fathers......Love you Jade!!!
So now I know!, | By |
"Howard Brown" (Los Angeles, CA) |
This review is from: Naughty Boyfriends (Paperback)
This is the first time I have ever written a review about a book. I started reading it around 8 PM and could not put it down until I finished it at 3 AM the next morning. It's a wonderful sharing of intimate sexual and personal experiences with her "naughty boyfriends". The candid and honest manner in which she wrote about her situations are a tribute to her writing ability and the real person she must be. I congratulate her and hope she will continue to do more writing and share her thoughts with people like me. So now I know what probably happens many times in the difficult dating world we live in.

Heartfelt quest for love., | By |
"Reborn SFcian 'wisdom seeker'" (San Francisco, CA) |
This review is from: Naughty Boyfriends (Paperback)
"Naughty Boyfriends" by Jade is a touching story about never-ending quest for happiness. We all want to be loved and desired, so does Jade. She takes you into her childhood where she desperately seeks father's approval and his tenderness, but instead faces a constant change of countries, schools, cultures, all consuming feeling of loneliness and fear of not being enough. She pours her heart on paper and you feel like you have just witnessed a confession. It is moving, dynamic, engaging, and thrilling. Excitements is mixed with disappointment, love is mixed with sex, and sadness is mixed with happiness. Jade takes you through paths of life that not every woman discovered or is aware of. The book is so real that you can't help, but give in to the rollercoaster ride. Pain stays with you even as the sun rises promising a new day...
I couldn't put it down, | By |
"Julia Katherine Beaudine" (New Orleans, LA) |
This review is from: Naughty Boyfriends (Paperback)
When I started reading this book I read it straight through with out putting it down! Jade reveals her past in order to find herself with plenty of dark parallel universes and desperate details along the way. What's great about each story is their raw geniune pain that almost feels torturous to the reader. I ached for Jade, laughed, and felt the chill of the morgue and,Oh my God! the heat from that Crystal Cock! The ego is quite clearly a fearful thought and it comes out screaming in this book. While losing her own power, she harnesses it, she learns to trust her abandoned soul just as it is....perfect.

"A. Guide 'gentle reader'" (San Francisco, CA) |
This review is from: Naughty Boyfriends (Paperback)
I am a woman in San Francisco suffering my own trials and tribulations of dating. I think that Jade brought to light the fantasy, humor, joy, and heartbreak in contemporary "city" relationships! Her vignettes are like fables. It is told through the eyes of a woman searching for her soul and her soulmate, and I was brought to tears. Great read!
A fun read about bad things, | By |
"fast reader" (San Francisco, CA) |
This review is from: Naughty Boyfriends (Paperback)
This is an engaging and entertaining memoir by a young woman who was looking for true romance in the wilds of Silicon Valley and found something better, herself. The author is an honest spirit and cosmopolitan Californian, combining intelligence with a quest for self-improvement.
Reading her book is like hearing an all-night confession from a great friend--maybe a great friend that you secretly have the hots for.
It's a treat, only partly because of the judiciously juicy bits. Oh and by the way, that's her picture on the cover.
Really bad boyfriends!, | By |
"Mike" (San Francisco, CA) |
This review is from: Naughty Boyfriends (Paperback)
This is kind of a mid life crisis memoir from a woman's perspective--something we don't usually read about. When Jade enters the San Francisco dating world after years spent raising kids and working on a career, she has one misadventure after another. She certainly seems to have a type: younger, flashy guys, sometimes married, usually with some sort of drama. She's looking for Mr. Right, her soulmate, but always ends up with Mr. Wrong, sometimes jailbait. A lot of this is very funny. It's worth buying the book just to read about the tantric crystal cock alone. But there's also a lot of sadness: A heartbreaking childhood, abusive boyfriends, substance abuse. Yet through it all, Jade remains indomitable. She pushes on, picks herself off of the floor and keeps on trying. What more can we ask?
