FINAL DECISION: These books get zanier with every installment. Just when I think the books can’t get any more outrageous, they do. This one isn’t as compelling as others in the series, but it sure is crazy-sauce fun.

THE STORY: Jane, who (she believes) has been rejected by her husband Zaren is in the hands of Lord Akenov who intends to have her memories and love for Zaren eliminated so that she will belong to Akenov alone. To do this, Akenov takes Jane to a sorcerer Belmar.

OPINION: I continue to read this series for the sheer fun and craziness of the story. There is also a romance in here, but honestly, I’m often more interested as to what crazy situation Jane will find herself in. This one was even more crazy than I expected. I think as the end of the series approaches, the strange sexual exploits increase. That being said, I continue to enjoy this serial.

I don’t want to spoil the weird events here, but I have to say that just when I say “the only thing missing is…” this book supplied the missing sexual exploit. This book is pure entertainment and doesn’t have a deeper meaning or significant character development. But it is like cotton candy, I just can’t get enough.

WORTH MENTIONING: The next book in the series apparently will be the last so this book previews the resolution.

CONNECTED BOOKS: ENSORCELLED is the ninth book in the Erotic Adventures of Jane in the Jungle series. This is a serialized story where each book tells part of the adventure and ends on a cliffhanger. Therefore, the series is meant to be read in order.

STAR RATING: I give this book 3.5 stars.

FINAL DECISION: An enjoyable entry in the series. This one has Jane and Zaren separated and engaged in their own activities. Another crazy set of circumstances, but the cliffhanger always leaves me wanting to read the next installment.

THE STORY: Jane has been renounced by her beloved Zaren and has now been taken by Lord Akenov who wants more than her body. He wants her to love only him. At the same time, Zaren is himself a captive as he wants to get back to his beloved wife who he was forced to pretend to renounce.

OPINION: In this entry in the series, things get even crazier for Jane and Zaren as the two are separated on go on their own erotic adventures. Jane finds herself with a man who is determined that she will give all of herself to him — even her heart. Zaren finds himself the slave of a woman who challenges his ideas of fidelity.

This entry feels likes a transition and while enjoyable as Jane and Zaren separately work out their love for one another, I kept waiting for something to happen and the cliffhanger brings things to a head.

WORTH MENTIONING: This book has non-consensual sex. Readers who are disturbed by this should stay away from this series.

CONNECTED BOOKS: ENCHANTED is the eighth book in the Erotic Adventures of Jane in the Jungle series. This is a serialized story and thus each book ends on a cliffhanger and is connected to the prior books in the series. It is meant to be read in order.

STAR RATING: I give this book 4 stars.

ENRAPTURED: THE RENOUNCEMENT is the seventh novella in the Erotic Adventures of Jane in the Jungle series. Each novella is a short episode in a continuing serial of the story. I began reading the novellas. They are at times silly and over the top, but I find them fascinating in an odd way. Jane has a lot of sex with a lot of people (while being in love with the Tarzan of the series). She is alternatively abused, forced and coerced into her sexual encounters which she enjoys. The series is definitely erotica and while there isn’t any deep story or character development, I really enjoy reading these novellas.

In this novella, Jane has been taken captive by the Amazon queen who has made Jane her sexual slave. As this novella starts, Jane’s love has located her and readers get to find out what happens (hint — the title itself is a spoiler).

This novella begins immediately after the previous novella’s end and ends on a cliffhanger. I recommend that readers begin with the first novella of the series.

FINAL DECISION: Not one of my favorites in the series, after a short happy interlude, Jane is taken captive by an Amazon queen. The best thing is that it sets off the new arch in the story.

THE STORY: At the end of the prior installment, Jane and Zaren were reunited and things seem to be going well for them. This book picks up with the two going on their Honeymoon but someone is determined that they will not have a happy ending. Jane ends up being the concubine to an Amazon queen.

OPINION: Jane begins a new set of adventures as she is again separated from her love Zaren. Every time I think these books can’t get any crazier, they do. As I have mentioned before, these books are pure entertainment and not to be taken seriously. Indeed, I believe each books tries to be more outrageous than the last. But I enjoy Jane’s erotic adventures. This one is not as exciting as others in the series, but it sets up the next part of the series.

WORTH MENTIONING: This book as with all the others in the series ends on a cliffhanger. The books are meant to be read together. Also there is nonconsensual sex that Jane find enjoyable even as she doesn’t want to engage in it.

CONNECTED BOOKS: ENSLAVED is the sixth book in the Erotic Adventures of Jane in the Jungle series. This a serialized story and thus each book is connected to the prior books in the series and should be read in order.

STAR RATING: I give this book 3 stars.

FINAL DECISION: My favorite of the series. This one is dark and double the length of the other books so we get development in the the whacked relationship between Jane and Kellan which began in the first book in the series. This book moves the story forward besides being filled with many and various sexual escapades.

THE STORY: Jane has returned to London with Kellan Darkdale who has the evidence to clear her father from murder. Kellan requires that Jane consent to be his submissive mistress in order to gain his cooperation.  Parted from her beloved Zaren, Jane hopes to find a way to free herself from Kellan’s clutches and return to Zaren.

OPINION: This is a crazy series. This is my favorite of the series because its expanded length allows the development of Jane’s crazy relationship with Kellan, Zaren’s development as a real character and some resolution to the threads of the series so far. This book, like the others, does end on a cliffhanger, but this book feels like the end of part one of the series.

This series is not for everyone. There is non-consensual sex and Jane enjoys those encounters.

This book is one of the darkest in the series and the most developed as Kellan and Jane have a relationship that has spanned several books in the series. Unlike the other encounters, this one feels more developed. I don’t expect great storylines and characters from this series but rather this is pure entertainment and erotic adventures.

WORTH MENTIONING: This series contains various sex acts, both consensual and non-consensual, with multiple people both men and women. Each book ends on a cliffhanger and therefore the series is meant to be read together.

CONNECTED BOOKS: ENAMORED is the fifth book in the Erotic Adventures of Jane in the Jungle series. These are a series of serialized stories so they are meant to be read together and in order.

STAR RATING: I give this book 5 stars.

FINAL DECISION: This one is a bit repetitive of the previous book in the series, but I liked how Jane and Zaren begin to acknowledge their feelings for one another. This is pure entertainment and escapism and shouldn’t be taken seriously as it is just crazy stuff.

THE STORY: After an attempted escape, Jane and her wild jungle man Zaren are captured by the native villagers. Jane agrees to submit to the desires of the villagers in exchange for them helping the injured Zaren.

OPINION: In this book, Jane is used as a sex toy by various couples in the village. This is my least favorite in the series, but I did like the development of Jane and Zaren’s relationship. Jane is willing to sacrifice herself for Zaren and he will do the same for her.

Once again, these stories are really crazy sauce and can’t be examined in a serious fashion. If you are not willing to suspend disbelief, then this story will not work for you. It’s all crazy erotic sex with a romance story between Jane and Zaren — but lots of sex with other people, in various combinations, along the way.

WORTH MENTIONING: This book contains both consensual and non-consensual sex with both men and women. The story, like all in this series, ends on a cliffhanger.

CONNECTED BOOKS: ENTICED is the fourth book in the Erotic Adventures of Jane in the Jungle. This is a serialized story so the books should be read in order.

STAR RATING: I give this book 4 stars.

FINAL DECISION: The sexcapades are increased here when Jane is taken hostage by a villages who sees her as a fertility goddess. Once again, this story contains consensual and non-consensual erotic encounters. I find Jane’s adventures entertaining and this one has more relationship building with Zaren.

THE STORY: Jane and her fiance are taken hostage by a native village who believe that Jane is a fertility goddess who can solve their reproduction problems. Her sexual prowess must be on public display. Zaren tries to find out what happened to Jane and to rescue her.

OPINION: Jane’s adventures continue in this book where she encounters an entire village of people who want to explore her sexuality. She has encounters here with men and women. This story is purely entertainment and is not really intended to be taken seriously. I mean she ends up having sex instead of escaping when given the opportunity! I find these stories entertaining and escapism. The entirety of the story is told tongue in cheek with crazier and more unrealistic episodes each time.

This one is notable because we get to see more of Zaren and get to see his commitment to Jane. Despite all Jane’s sexual exploits, there remains a connection between Zaren and Jane. Don’t read these books if you are going to examine them closely, you will be disappointed.

WORTH MENTIONING: This book contains non-consensual sexual encounters where Jane enjoys the experiences even as she does not consent to them. Each book in this series is short (60-70 pages) and ends on a cliffhanger as the story is told in serialized form.

CONNECTED BOOKS: ENTHRALLED is the third book in the Erotic Adventures of Jane in the Jungle series. This is a serialized story where every novella is connected and telling one story. Each book ends on a cliffhanger. The books are meant to be read together.

STAR RATING: I give this book 4.5 stars.

FINAL DECISION: Definitely erotica with lots of sex and little character development. The best developed storyline is Jane’s developing relationship with the wild man. These books are entertaining but are not intended to be realistic.

THE STORY: Jane’s fiance has returned from the dead with some secrets. Jane also again meets the wild man living in the jungle.

OPINION: These stories are not for everyone. There is lots of sexual escapades — including non-consensual ones — but all are ones that Jane finds pleasure in. I know that this will be offensive to some people, but that is the way the story develops. If such things bother you, I really suggest passing on this story. Jane begins her journey of abandoning her Victorian morals in full here as she has sexual experiences with three different men including a menage.

There is an interesting contrast between Jane’s sexual adventures and her developing romantic relationship with the wild man. Once again, this story is pure sexual entertainment and fantasy.

WORTH MENTIONING: This series is serialized meaning that the stories are not complete in one book. Each book ends on a cliffhanger.

CONNECTED BOOKS: ENTANGLED is the second book in the Erotic Adventures of Jane in the Jungle series. These books should be read in order.

STAR RATING: I give this book 4 stars.

FINAL DECISION: Definitely a guilty pleasure, but a fun, erotic read. Tarzan story told from Jane’s point of view with lots of sex.

THE STORY: Jane Clemons comes to the jungle with her father. This is the place where her fiance disappeared three years ago. Now Jane has come along with her fiance’s friend Kellan Darkdale but he seems to be pursuing her whether she wants him to or not. Jane also encounters a wild man who calls to her in ways she doesn’t expect.

OPINION: This story isn’t particularly deep and the relationships in it are not really romantic ones, but I do enjoy this book and the series as a whole. The story is definitely erotica with plenty of sex with various partners. In this book, Jane is a not-so-uptight Victorian woman who has a past with her fiance, but still clings to some of the strictures of the age. She is being pursued by a man who she doesn’t want and finds herself intrigued by the jungle man. This is the tamest of the books as it sets up some of the relationships and storylines in the series.

I enjoy the book which doesn’t really take itself seriously and instead it feels like a fun, entertaining read with no expectations and no serious messages.

WORTH MENTIONING: This is a serialized story meaning that these are short novellas and each ends on a cliffhanger and continues with the same characters into a new book. The story is not complete here so you have to be committed to the entire series.

CONNECTED BOOKS: ENTWINED is the first book in the Erotic Adventures of Jane in the Jungle.

STAR RATING: I give this book 4 stars.
