When Pash decides to forsake her quiet and bookish fixation with the romance of historical England for the hobby of horseback riding, she gets much more than she expected. Ivan, her handsome and brooding riding instructor, completely draws her into his world of seduction and passion.
More Reviews and RecommendationsPASSION began as an erotic dream, so vivid I felt compelled to write it down. This story played in my head like a movie, and I wrote what I saw and heard.
The "He Said / She Said" first person narrative allowed me as the author, and allows you as the reader, to be inside the heads and hearts of the characters. It is an extraordinary journey to explore their passions and desires with such intimacy, and to see how the characters change as they discover more about themselves.
PASSION is about relationship. The eroticism naturally evolves as the characters delve deeper into each other, and into themselves. PASSION is a journey of self-discovery and growth, about two real people who find they share an intimate secret garden. Come into their garden and share their story. You may discover more than you expected.

December 16, 2006: P.F. Kozak pulls it all together in this contemporary erotic romance. Pash, short for Passion Flower, is a beautiful, intelligent, and successful writer, who has been disappointed in a string of unsuccessful emotional and physical relationships. She lives at times in her sexual fantasy world with her ideal 'highway man' that fulfills all her sexual fantasies. Ivan is a successful and handsome college professor who is unfulfilled sexually and emotionally and acts out his loneliness and emotional frustrations in numerous dangerous sexual relationships with his female students. He spends his summers with his close family friend Steve, helping Steve with his horse stable business. Gwen, Steve's girlfriend and friend of Pash, sets Pash up with riding lessons at Steve's stables. It is there that Pash meets Ivan. Immediately when these two lonely, lovely, sexy, unfulfilled and needy people meet, the sparks fly. Passion is not merely a contemporary love story with erotic sex scenes. P. F. Kozak, in a brilliant writing style, shows the reader what lust, sex, passion, need, want, fantasy, fulfillment, friendship, true love and finding your true mate really mean. This reviewer must admit I will usually pick up a contemporary romance and slap it right back down on the shelf because it seems most contemporary romance novels are a disappointment with the love interests, mostly the female, analyzing and analyzing the relationship (with a little bit of sex slipped in to try to make it interesting) to the point where the reader gets so bored you just stop reading because you simply cannot believe there can be characters so stupid and the erotic contemporaries are just sex. P.F. Kozak knows how to pull together the perfect blend of story and erotica. Passion is an intelligent, thought provoking, sexy read. I loved this book, mostly because the reader comes to realize how the loving long term relationship, that one true love with passion and great sex, can grow and exist.
