Secrets of Casanova (Michaels) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
(See helpful customer reviews of this book on Amazon.com.)

Michaels’ debut novel puts a brilliantly original spin on an historical figure whose very name is a cliche. This Casanova must wrestle not only with falling hopelessly and passionately in love, but embarking on a mysterious quest that is as much a spiritual awakening as a swashbuckling adventure...so erotic and so sensitively written, I found it difficult to believe its author was a man.
—Robin Maxwell, national best-selling author of The Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn


More colorful than 50 Shades of Grey, more playful than the Crossfire series, this debut novel limns the life and times of Casanova. Peopling his story with fascinating characters from Voltaire to the pope of the hour, Michaels deftly evokes the sights, sounds, and the all-too-pungent scents and stenches of eighteenth-century Europe.
—Vicki Leon, author of The Joy of Sexus & other nonfiction histories
