Black Lace books are supposed to have interesting plots and exciting sex scenes. This book has neither. Oh sure, the heroine, who isn't really all that likeable, has lots of sex. She'll sleep with almost anybody at the drop of a hat. However, there's not a lot of detail in the sex scenes and who cares anyway since Maddie and the reader never get to know anything about any of her partners. There is no buildup, no getting to know any of the men and hoping she will get together with them soon.

I read all the Black Lace books, so obviously, I'm not a prude, but I couldn't like Maddie because she was such a slutty woman. I guess the reader is meant to find her near public sex acts daring and titillating. I just found her unsympathetic and got bored by the lack of detail and character development.

After reading the previous reviews, I decided to order this book, but was very disappointed. The story primarily consists of a not-particularly likeable heroine having sex with just about every man she meets. Very little time is spent on characterization, and there is almost no buildup of sexual tension. The sex itself is light on details and relatively unimaginative. If you like your stories with a lame plot, shallow characters, and lots of white-bread sex, this book is for you! (But not for me.)

I love the imagery in this book. Knowing the Dorset area a bit makes the story live for me.

I really have enjoyed all the Black Lace books I have, the descriptions of love making are a lot more 'romantic' and sexier than those stories especially written for men - which I am.

I loved her other two books - this ones another winner. The plot is about a bunch of young and extremely horny people making a film, and has so many different and very sexy scenes. Had a great time with my boyfriend reading this one - though sometimes we had to break off!!!!! I guess you can figure out why!! And we're going to go to Dorsetshire, UK to check out that Cerne Abas Giant sometime!!

This is among my favorite 3 Black LAce Books. There is one scene I still like to re-read on occasion, and I rarely get off on the same passage twice. I envy the good-times the main character has with so many different people, and the frequent setting changes make for good atmosphere.

a great, sexy read - hot'n'horny, great locations and an interesting plot. Wish they'd make a movie of this one! I thought the whole point of these kind of books was to get as much sex in as they can!
