Book Description

Black Lace April 22, 2010
Cat Harrington works in script development at a large Hollywood studio. She and her engineer boyfriend enjoy glittering parties, film screenings and international travel. But Cat leads a double life that would shock her friends and her beau: she engages in rough and ready sex with the head of a road crew, who knows how hard and dirty Cat likes her loving. What begins as a raucous fling turns far more complicated when Cat’s boyfriend is put in charge of her lover and they begin to run into each other in the workplace. Despite her glitzy life with her safe and respectable boyfriend, Cat, like most women, thinks that there is just ‘something about workmen’!

More About the Author

Called a trollop with a laptop by East Bay Express, Alison Tyler is naughty and she knows it.

Over the past 20 years, Ms. Tyler has written more than 25 explicit novels, including Learning to Love It, Strictly Confidential, Sweet Thing, Sticky Fingers, and Something About Workmen (all published by Black Lace), as well as Rumors, Tiffany Twisted, and Melt With You (Cheek). Her novels and short stories have been translated into Japanese, Dutch, German, Italian, Norwegian, and Spanish. Her stories have appeared in more than 100 anthologies.

When not writing saucy short stories, Ms. Tyler edits erotic anthologies. She's recently completed her 50th collection, Alison's Wonderland (Harlequin, 2010). Her best-selling titles include Naughty Fairy Tales from A to Z (Plume), Naked Erotica (Pretty Things Press), and Best Bondage Erotica (Cleis Press).


Ms. Tyler is loyal to coffee (black), lipstick (red), and tequila (straight). She has tattoos, but no piercings; a wicked tongue, but a quick smile; and bittersweet memories, but no regrets. She believes it won't rain if she doesn't bring an umbrella, prefers hot and dry to cold and wet, and loves to spout her favorite motto: You can sleep when you're dead. She chooses Led Zeppelin over the Beatles, the Cure over NIN, and the Stones over everyone. Yet although she appreciates good rock, she has a pitiful weakness for 80s hair bands.

In all things important, she remains faithful to her partner of 15 years, but she still can't choose just one perfume.

3.0 out of 5 stars Girl from the top likes to get dirty., February 28, 2004
This review is from: Something About Workmen (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)
Cat has it all, good job, successful boyfriend, powerful friends...and a little craving for a man in a hard hat, and that taste fo the dirty and rough she can only get from him. Cat has been having an affair for some time, but things get sticky when her fling starts working for the sucessful boyfriend. When it all shakes down, what will she choose, the good livin' or great lovin'? This book has some of the usual Black Lace requires scenes, which are always hot. The characters are interesting, if occasionally flat. the plot is pretty interesting and consistant. And I LOVE the cover...! This is a good BL buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Sizzling, April 24, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Something About Workmen (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a very sexy story from Black Lace's Alison Tyler. Cat Harrington leads a double-life. A script doctor with a successful engineer boyfriend, she engages in a risky and risque relationship with the head of a road crew. Brock is a rough-and-ready type who fulfills her sensuous cravings for honest, skin-on-skin sex. He's good-looking. And sexy. And built. Better yet, Brock likes her when she's dirty, while everyone in Cat's world expects her to be clean.
Before Cat can make her decision about which man is right for her, her boyfriend is promoted. His position puts him directly in charge of her lover. Now, Cat is about to learn something about herself-
something about her boyfriend-
and something about workmen.
None of the scripts Cat works on are as twisted as the one her life has become! This is a hot, hot book!

2.0 out of 5 stars Great fantasy situation fizzles out..., April 18, 2004
This review is from: Something About Workmen (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)
I'd heard great things about Alison Tyler before I decided to give one of her erotic novels a whirl. The premise of Something about Workmen fascinated me. The story of a successful Hollywood screenwriter having a rough, steamy affair with a gorgeous construction worker gave me the impression that I'd be reading a rather juicy erotic story. Well... there are some great scenes throughout the novel, especially the ones that center on Cat's illicit affair with the construction worker, especially since the protagonist is reluctant to leave her rich boyfriend, but the overall story and other erotic scenes are ho hum at best. I like erotic novels that enthrall me with a compelling story that mingles well with the erotica. This book bored me to tears. This is a disappointing Black Lace offering, especially after having read and adored The Ninety Days of Genevieve. I intend to read another of Alison Tyler's offerings to see if this novel's disappointment had been a fluke. I don't recommend this novel. However, people who aren't bothered with the lack of an interesting story would love this book if only for the steamy scenes with the protagonists...
