5.0 out of 5 stars Oh to service the men in a caravan..., February 6, 2001

This review is from: Jewel of Xanadu (Black Lace Series) (Paperback)

Our leading lady grows up in a small out post in the desert where her aunt and cousin service the travelers who come through. This set up alone is just enough to fufill my every fantasy. New and exciting partners who want only to please you and leave you goods from distant lands... Our unusual looking heroine is still a virgin, but soon finds herself in the court of Xanadu. There is plenty of hot scenes, including male/male which our hero enjoys!! There is something so free and wonderfull about the adventures in Xanadu. The most satisfying moment for me was when the heroine retreives the ruby from the guard. She is so very selfless... This is one of my favorit Black Lace books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spicy Hot, March 27, 2004

This review is from: Jewel of Xanadu (Black Lace Series) (Paperback)

The Jewel of Xanadu is a fantastical novel set somewhere in historical times. It is a story of a young woman named Cirina who discovers her sexuality through sexuals romps across the Gobi desert and finds herself in the Kublai Khans's harem victim to the evil machinations of Chabi, one of the Khans favorite wives.

The novel is an interesting erotic story that juxta positions the two main characters. One explors her sexuality with wild freedom while the other resists his venture into bi-sexual experiences. Overall what this book may lack in its romantic love is made up for by its hot sexual scenes of voyerism, orgies, and sexual experimentation.
