Book Description

Publication Date: January 27, 2009

There's a voyeur in each of us—
and Teresa Knight is no exception

Somebody’s shadowing Teresa Knight, watching the part-time investigator’s every move. And she’s about to find out why: tapped for an undercover assignment that takes her into the steamy world of erotic films, Teresa lands a job at Silky Pictures—and within weeks she’s directing the action, conjuring her own wildest fantasies onto film. But her employer is dabbling in something far beyond hard-core porn. And when the case culminates in murder, Teresa is at the center of the storm.

Framed for a crime she didn’t commit, Teresa’s on the run from Paris to Rio…and soon she’s playing hardball with the boys from Brazil while tangling with crime lords, terrorists, and one sexually adventurous clandestine agent. As she moves closer to the truth—and deeper into the erotic throes of her own unbridled sensuality—she’s following a trail that leads to the highest reaches of international government. Unable to trust anyone, caught in a tangled web of obsession and eroticism, suddenly she’s both hunter and prey in a deadly conspiracy that’s taking sex and power to a whole new level.…

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In Lawrence's overwrought if well-plotted third erotic thriller to feature Teresa Knight (after Beg Me), the part-time investigator and children's book author goes undercover as a film director at London's soft-core Silky Pictures, whose owner, Luis Antunes, is suspected of forcing women into prostitution and having sex on screen. After some intense X-rated scenes during filming at Silky Pictures, Teresa gets on the trail of a sex-slave business that takes her to Brazil. When someone tosses Antunes off the balcony of a posh hotel, Teresa becomes the top suspect in his murder and is accused of being a Muslim terrorist. Readers should be prepared for plenty of overheated sex that interrupts the narrative flow. (Jan.)

3.0 out of 5 stars An Enjoyable Read, February 24, 2009

This review is from: Sexile (Paperback)

P.I. Teresa Knight is back with a new case. She's been asked to infiltrate and erotic film company and their actions in regards to sex trafficking. This is a case she can't say no to but unfortunately she is not expecting to be accused of murder upon taking the case. She runs away to Rio de Janeiro and teams up with Graham, a clandestine agent. This is where things heat up. The two find themselves mired in a case that will tangle them up in the highest reaches of international governments and they must stay two steps ahead of a killer who wants Teresa dead and she finds herself wondering who she can trust when her life is on the line.

This is a rather entertaining read if you don't mind the sex scenes that seem to sometimes come out of nowhere and can at times seem jarring or derailing to the excitement of the main storyline. The reader will be taken on an amazing rollercoaster ride to exotic locations and peppered with nail biting suspense.

(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Sexile (Paperback)

Children's book author and sometime private investigator (see STRIP POKER and BEG ME for her previous cases); Teresa Knight is hired to go undercover at London-based porn filmmaker Silky Pictures. The owner Luis Antunes has been accused of illegally working as a pimp pressuring his actresses into prostitution and those reluctant to having sex on film. Teresa obtains work as a director and quickly feels comfortable working trip X sequences and a few X to the nth degree sexual exploits.

Her efforts behind the camera lead to clues of an international sex-slave trade headquartered in Rio while also fleeing French and English law enforcement who accuse her of pushing her new boss off a hotel balcony. As she works to end the lucrative sex trade and clear her name of a homicide rap, Teresa finds herself in deeper trouble as she is accused by authorities of being a Jihadist terrorist. As usual Teresa depends on herself to find the fitting climax.

The third Knight sexploits is a fun over the top of Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Christ the Redeemer at the peak of Corcovado Mountain. Teresa, as always, lands in trouble and sex as she leaps from one fiery encounter to another. The story line is fast-paced from the onset and never slows even with a zillion and one sexual interludes, as Lisa Lawrence provides an entertaining heated tale as the heroine is forced into SEXILE from her home in order to clear her name one following clues one tryst at a time.
