Sinner Takes All: A Memoir of Love and Porn

‘ This fast-reading memoir whips form knowing to naive and back as it tracks its plucky protagonist from ugly duckling school days to international adult superstardom.’ - The Dallas Morning News

Tera Patrick wasn’t always Tera Patrick.

Once upon a time she was a gangly, teenaged bookworm named Linda Ann Hopkins, obsessed with serial killers and Marilyn Monroe and determined to make men all over the world one day desire her. And she succeeded- Today she sits atop the porn world, has graced the cover of every major men’s magazine, and runs her own multimillion-dollar empire.

More important, she did it on her own terms.

Sinner Takes All is a sexy and deeply personal memoir in which Tera bares all about baring all.

Tera discusses losing her virginity at age fourteen to a man twice her age while working as a international fashion model, working as a nurse at a senior citizen’s home, her on- and off-screen sexual escapade, clawing her way to the peak of porn, the emotional obstacles that she’s had to overcome, and how love and marriage fit into the triple-X world.

An honest and naked look at a one-of-a-kind life, Sinner Takes All is a riveting memoir of the making of a modern sex goddess.

‘She’s a girl who knows what she wants and gets it.

That’s what’s cool about Tera Patrick.’ - Carmen Electra
