I wrote More Than You Might Imagine because I witnessed how frequently we miss each other in our most vulnerable moments: performing rather than participating, following scripts instead of our bodies' wisdom. These encounters distill what I've learned through twenty-four years as an intimate companion in Monaco.
While explicitly erotic in many passages, this book's purpose extends beyond arousal. In these detailed encounters where bodies speak their most honest truths, I discovered insights about vulnerability, power, and connection that abstract language alone cannot convey. The explicit nature of many scenes serves to illuminate rather than titillate.
My hope is that you'll recognize yourself in these pages Not in the specific erotic scenarios, but in the universal hunger to be truly seen, to surrender without losing yourself, to experience pleasure that transcends mere sensation. This intimate education isn't about sexual techniques to master but awareness to cultivate: that our bodies contain wisdom our minds have forgotten, and that profound intimacy emerges not from what we do but from how fully we allow ourselves to be present with another human being.
With warmth, Isabelle
Isabelle M. is a professional companion based in Monaco with a background in psychology and a lifelong curiosity about human behavior, intimacy, and power. Drawing on years of personal experience and close observation, she brings rare insight into the quiet complexities of desire, connection, and what it means to truly be seen. More Than You Might Imagine is her first book—a bold, elegant debut that blends sensual memoir with sharp psychological reflection and emotional depth.
I kept thinking, page after page, God, I wish I’d read this when I was younger. Or better yet, that I’d met someone like Isabelle back when I was first learning what intimacy even meant. The way she talks about touch, attention, boundaries, and presence, it’s what no one ever taught me, but what every man should know. This book isn’t just erotic, it’s a masterclass in how to actually be with another person. If I’d had her voice in my ear twenty years ago, I think my relationships, and my sense of myself, would’ve been very different. Better, deeper, more honest. It’s that powerful.
I started reading "More Than You Might Imagine" thinking it would be a sultry distraction. What I didn’t expect was to find myself underlining passages, reflecting on my own relationships, and feeling deeply seen. Isabelle’s writing is so intimate and intelligent—it’s like she’s whispering truths you didn’t know you were ready to hear. I finished it feeling more awake to my own body, my boundaries, and my longing. It’s not just sexy—it’s transformative.
I sent a copy of this to my ex. Anonymously. Not out of spite, well, maybe a little, but mostly in the hope that he’ll finally understand what was missing. "More Than You Might Imagine" is the book I didn’t know I needed. It’s smart, sexy, and unexpectedly tender. I’ve underlined so much I may need a second copy—one to study, one to keep by the bed. Isabelle writes about sex the way some people write about music or memory: with reverence, curiosity, and wicked precision. My new partner doesn’t know it yet, but this book is coming to bed with us. We’re going to learn a few things together.
This book felt like being seduced by language itself. The way Isabelle describes touch, trust, and human connection made me feel like I was there with her, learning alongside her. It’s the kind of book you want to read slowly, savoring each scene not just for its erotic pull but for the emotional insight it offers. I’ve never read anything like it.
