Series: Black Lace | Publication Date: July 1, 2001
Carolyn Winters is a smooth-talking disc jockey at a hip Los Angeles radio station. Although known for her sexy banter over the airwaves, she leads a reclusive life, despite the urging of her flirtatious roommate, Dahlia. Carolyn grows dependent on living vicariously through Dahlia, eavesdropping and then covertly watching as her roommate's sexual behavior becomes more and more bizarre.
But something is about to happen that will blow the lid on everyone's secret lives, and Carolyn must overcome her fears in order to see that justice is done.
Alison Tyler is the pseudonym of an outstanding American author of twenty works of erotic fiction, and the author of the best-selling manual, Bondage on a Budget. She is a regular editor of short story anthologies and a contributor to numerous adult magazines. She is the author of Melt With You, Rumours,Sticky Fingers, Sweet Thing,Tiffany Twisted, With or Without You, Learning to Love It and Something about Workmen.
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.

5.0 out of 5 starsA hot, hot read for any closet voyeur!, January 18, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Strictly Confidential (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the perfect late-night reading book. You'll get to play the voyeur along with the main character, Carolyn, as she watches the dirty antics of her roommate Dahlia. You'll also follow Dahlia on several sexy dates. My favorites were ones that occur in a car and a sensual spanking scene at her work site. Anyone with a dirty mind will get into the action in this really erotic down-and-dirty read.

This review is from: Strictly Confidential (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm an Alison Tyler fan after reading this hot little book. Unlike most other adult novels I've read, this is well-written, has a storyline that twists and turns, and the characters are multifaceted. (...)

3.0 out of 5 starsEnding could have been better, March 24, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Strictly Confidential (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book started off pretty good.Lots of great sex scenes and Dahlia really had it going.The ending was stupid and didn't fit with the rest of the book.Was the author trying to justify the book by writing a "novel"? It didn't work and really turned me off.Don't waste your money.
