3.0 out of 5 stars Mills & Boon with sex, May 12, 1998

This review is from: Feminine Wiles (Black Lace) (Paperback)

I was disappointed with this book, as going by the back cover's quote you are under the impression that this will be a story of sexual imprisonment, I quote "... Why am I so excited by a man who is holding me prisoner?" Very little excitement really, this angle was never fully developed. If you like a mild erotic tale this is the one for you, if you are after something a little ,ore adventurous then it would pay to look somewhere else.

1.0 out of 5 stars dire, November 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Feminine Wiles (Black Lace) (Paperback)

the front cover shows a gorgeous brunette, the heroine is blonde with blue eyes. Says it all really. Boring, predictable, unimaginative, sex by numbers. I couldn't even be bothered to finish it. I've read lots of Black Lace and authors like Emma Holly and Helena Ravenscroft really ignite the reader...but this one? A no no I'm afraid.

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

This novel left me cold. Feminine Wiles is centered on a heroine who, despite having supposedly fallen in love with a passionate French artist, sleeps with everything with a pulse. The aforementioned exploits are expected in erotica, but I often like plot, eroticism and sensuality to back the scenes up. And the story of a woman who comes back home from vacationing in France to claim her late father's inheritance, only to encounter problems with her greedy, sadistic stepmother, isn't well developed, to put mildly. This is smut erotica with very little plot, characterization and sensual scenes to make it interesting. By far, one of the worst Black Lace books I've read. I agree with the other reviewers here. Skip it...
