Book Description

Black Lace August 1, 2003
Tess Challoner has made it. She is going to play Carmen in a new production of the opera that promises to be as raunchy and explicit as it is intelligent. But Tess needs to learn a lot about passion and desire before the opening night. Tony Varguez, the handsome but jealous Spanish tenor, takes on the task of her education. When Tess finds herself drawn to a desirable new member of the cast she knows she’s playing with fire. If Tony finds out she’s playing fast and loose with his affections, then life could begin to imitate art – with dramatic consequences.

3.0 out of 5 stars Carmen enacted in a singer's real life, April 3, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Aria Appassionata (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)
If you like the jealous, controlling lover as a male protagonist, this is for you. Alas, I do not enjoy this plot complication: the erotic parts were well-written, but the underlying plot made me pass this one to a used-book store. It is not the writer's fault that I dislike this kind of person. It was well-paced, but if you know the plot of the opera Carmen, you can pretty well guess how the novel will go. Black Lace never really offers a good enough clue to the specific "kinks" featured in an offering--in erotica this is almost as necessary as genre clssification in non-erotic fiction.

4.0 out of 5 stars Synopsis, October 26, 1997

This review is from: Aria Appassionata (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)
Tess Challoner has made it. She is going to play one of opera's most notorious girls, Carmen, in a new production that promises to be as raunchy and explicit as it is intelligent. It's an opportunity no young singer could miss.

But Tess is inexperienced. To play Carmen convincingly she needs to know a lot more about passion and desire than she does. Tony Varguez, the handsome but jealous Spanish tenor, takes on the task of her education.

The stage is set for unbridled erotic exploration. But things soon become complicated. When Tess finds herself irresistibly drawn to the newest member of the cast, Richard Schaeffer, she knows she's playing a dangerous game. If Tony finds out she's playing fast and loose with his affections then life could begin to imitate art - with dramatic consequences.

5.0 out of 5 stars Contemporary erotica .., August 23, 2005

This review is from: Aria Appassionata (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)
It's acually quite easy to identify with the characters in this book and the author takes us on a yummie trip educational trip of Carmen while she learns to ropes of making it in the opera world....


Of course it would be hard for a young girl to turn the charm and sexuality on and off at will .... shes spent most of her time learning to sing and act .....


Well she wants this part badly and certainly was willing to work for it ... and following her around makes this a wonderfully erotic book
