1.0 out of 5 stars Too many confused and confusing characters, September 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Bonded (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the worst Black Lace novel I have ever read, and I've read quite a few. There are too many characters, and they are all interchangeable. There is not one likeable person in the entire book. One knows to expect lots of sex in a Black Lace book, but it gets a little too strange in this book. For instance, there is one man who gets his jollies by making his wife live like a dog, including making her sleep in a dog basket, beg for food under the table, and use a tree instead of a powder room.

If you're looking for a good Black Lace novel, skip the ones by Fleur Reynoldo, unless your taste runs to books featuring cruel, humilating sex scenes strung together by the flimsiest of plot lines.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cliche's take shape before your eyes!, January 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bonded (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)

Terrible, terrible, terrible. There's the expected amount of sex in this book, of various permutations, but the character-development and dialog were just awful. More than once I laughed out loud at the sheer clunkiness of the cliches the author brought into play. The author may learn her craft in time, but the reader is best advised to stay away in the meantime.
