While her husband Tim works on the oil rigs of Borneo, Sherry is left alone in Singapore. She fills in her time by studying yoga with a guru who has very definite ideas about what makes a woman. She will have to learn to be sexy all over again, and her friend Ranji soon has her playing magic flutes all over town.
But what will Tim do when he finds out what she has been doing? Will he send her away, or train her to be the wife he wants?
We once invited a New Zealand barge engineer to dinner and he came up with the most marvellous story. He had been taking a week's break from the oil field in Singapore, and hitting the bars and night-spots with two friends, when they were picked up by three wholesome and attractive American girls. That's rare enough - Western women usually have little chance against the local competition - but these girls were an oilman's dream. Pretty, talkative, and as uninhibited as a hungry man could wish for. They all had an exciting night.
At breakfast, things changed. Certainly the girls wanted keep their men happy that day, but first everyone would have to go to church. All three men had enjoyed their taste of heaven so much that they agreed. But when they arrived at the 'church', they found themselves in an American evangelical cult. The girls had been sent out to fish for converts, using the power of the pussy to ensnare their marks. Our barge engineer fled at the door, and went back to paying for his pleasures.
Instead, I looked around and found Papi Bombar. He was much kinder, and he really, really appreciated women, even if he did send Sherry and Ranji off to make love for the good of the community.
Another thing that has intrigued me recently is the popular fascination with bondage and discipline. Of course, uptight Victorian men dreamt of enslaving girls and mixing sex with the lash, but what about the modern ladies who offer themselves to be tied up and gagged in the name of sex? Why was The Story of O (written by a woman) so popular with both sexes?
Setting the story in south-east Asia was great fun for me. Singapore, Borneo, Malaysia - what magic places they can be. The climate is wonderful, the people are so varied and intriguing, and above all the beauty of their wild places will steal your heart. And I have not even started on the food!
You can probably find Darti as well, the little brown witch with her zest for life and her mastery of sexual techniques we boring Westerners never learnt.
And nowadays, I'm afraid the ghost of The Man who ate Pork might haunt you too.
I have to admit the idea of a church prostituting its girls intrigued me. It was hard to believe, but our engineer seemed honest enough and there are a lot of crazy people out there. Especially on the fringes of religion.
But I could not write about that: crazy Christians turn me right off.

The Makassar schooner that brought
Janice to Singapore
Sherry would show us how a modern girl could be tied up and disciplined. It did not seem to do her any harm; she was still strong and independent. But if you ask her if she is happier now than in the bad old days, I'm quite sure she will say yes.
Pulau Kelapa, where Tim first met
Alistair and the twins
You might not believe in places like the oilfields of the Mahakam Delta, or simple, laid-back resort islands like Pulau Kelapa, but they are there, all the same. And if you look hard enough, you can meet the people too. Janice and her sisters are alive and well, and working in the oilfields of Kalimantan or on the trading schooners.

Jacqueline George has a great way of writing a novel which under different circumstances would be considered too busy. There are many characters and places included in this book. All of which she delivers with great ease. It’s like being lost in a movie, you can actually feel yourself in the jungle, on the beach, in England, in Asia, Jacqueline is great at detail. I recommend you have a vivid imagination and you don’t blush too easily to read this story. It’s one written to not only turn the characters on, but the readers as well. The love scenes have such detail and passion behind every word. I was impressed with this book and I’m sure you will be too. If you are a Jacqueline George fan you will really love this book, if not then it’s a perfect book to start with!

Love and Wild Times
Smart, Interesting ANND Sexy!
I was really impressed with Jacqueline George's new novel, Her Master's Voice. She brought together so many different aspects of life, and with such ease. It seemed so natural. I felt as though I was watching a movie taking place in areas I could only dream of visiting. It is still true that foreign adventures seem much sexier, and the whole atmosphere adds a perfect backdrop to the story.
Sherry and Tim, a couple from England, seem to have lost their fire. Their marriage is still intact, but they need others to help them spice up their love life: that's where we meet a plethora of characters that are unforgettable. Ranji is the beautiful and vivacious Indian friend of Sherry's, who just so happens to teach her a thing or two about oral sex, which is sure to drive her husband mad. Alistair is the Malay prince, who has a very healthy sex drive, and who ultimately adopts the couple and brings them much closer together. There are far too many convincing and interesting characters to mention!
Overall, I still believe that Jacqueline writes stories with such interesting plots, and such beautiful detail, that I find myself not even realizing that I am reading something classified as erotic. I recommend this book to anyone who seeks a little adventure in their lives.

This is an adult story that races around South East Asia in a sort of Charley’s Angels meets The Story of O festival. It has beautiful women, gun-runners, an Indonesian witch, a bouncy Indian sex-goddess, vicious Islamic terrorists, a rich Malaysian prince, and even a transvestite called Janice.
This great and twisted story intrigued me from the moment I picked up the book till the very end. It took me into parts of Asia I haven’t even heard of before. It is a very sexy and exciting tale following the transformation of a young English woman’s life from normally boring into wild fantasy. Both men and women will absolutely enjoy it! I found it captivating, sometimes surprising and very enjoyable. It gave me an insight into the themes of domination and submission.
It’s a sexy adventure that I recommend to anyone who wants to learn a thing or two and is not afraid of letting their imagination run riot along with the story.

Fantastic Writing!
This is one heck of a story. The details of the exotic locale are revealed by someone who knows what she's talking about. You feel yourself in the jungle, above the swamps, and gain a knowledge about a very different lifestyle. The characters, especially the women, are luscious and different… a God that revels in a Woman's bottom? I love it!
It's a whirlwind story, always interesting and I like the way the sex scenes are presented with class, each tender choice for sexual 'parts' some word you don't expect, make you think twice about (often even arouse you). Salacious yet sensuous, surprising too. Wow. Great writing.
