Have an interest in the slightly darker side of sex?,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Gallery (Black Lace Series) (Paperback)
(It's all kinda relative, after all) I've found Fredrica Allyen's novels consistently explore sexual themes of power and submission, bondage, sex toys, pain as pleasure, and prolonged sexual tension. What's brought me back again and again to her work though is how she masterfully presents her craft as an erotic novelist; her characterization is smooth and believeble; her imagry is very vivid, yet controlled; her "love scenes" are erotic, sensual and extremely well paced. The combination of these qualities make for highly charged novels and I often find I can't put her books down 'til I've read them cover to cover. "The Gallery" was no exception; Cressida Farleigh, an undercover cop, takes on an assignment investigating the owner of a local art gallery suspected of art theft and fraud. If this kind of read suits your fancy, I'd also recommend Allyen's "The Bracelet", and Lucinda Carrington's "The Ninety Days of Genevieve" also from Black Lace (These last two are my personal favorites)

Have you ever dreamt of being an undercover cop?,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Gallery (Black Lace Series) (Paperback)
A police woman is given her first chance to take on an undercover assignment working in an art gallery. The owners of the gallery are being investigated for a scam involving substituting fakes for expensive paintings, Cresseida has been involved in a lackluster relationship with a fellow cop. She takes her undercover assignment as a chance to embark on some sexual adventures with an artist and one of the suspects. None of this would ever happen in a real police investigation, and the ending really is silly. Still this book is better than many erotic novels, although I would not rate it among my favorite Black Lace books.

Great Read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Gallery (Black Lace Series) (Paperback)
Clever mystery story with a nice plot and fairly well written. Just suspend your beliefs about how evidence is really gathered by undercover cops. Very erotic with lots of fun sex scenes. Definitely one that I won't be turning in to the used bookstore!
