4.0 out of 5 stars Thank Goodness for Reissues!, August 31, 2004
This review is from: The Top of Her Game (Paperback)
I've been trying to get a copy of Top of Her Game for two years now and so I was happy to see that Cheek was doing a reissue of several of Emma Holly's more popular but out of print titles from Black Lace.

Top of Her Game, like Personal Assets and Menage, is definitely a keeper. Holly most certainly knows how to create hot tension between her lead characters and she does it in this book quite well.

Julia, despite being at loose ends in her life is fascinated and compelled by Zach, the owner of the Montana dude ranch she's sent off to for the weekend. She's also got some major baggage that comes from a childhood experience of seeing her mother disciplining her lover.

The sex, and there's plenty of it here, is varied, there's certainly something for everyone. If you are faint of heart, this probably isn't the book for you. Then again, complaining that there's too much sex in an "erotic" romance seems to be counterintuitive.

The book is vintage Holly, great scorching sex scenes, hot men and women to choose from, smart independent women and endings that are happy but where the woman is living on her own terms. I most definitely recommend Top of Her Game and urge you to get out there and buy the reissue before this one goes out of print too!

P.S. -My only complaint is the cover. What an ugly and totally misleading cover it is! The main character is a dominatrix, she has sex with multiple partners at a dude ranch in Montana, the cover has a cartoon woman in a sweater with a funny looking blonde bob. What's up with that? Aside from making the book look like chick lit, which it is most definitely (and thankfully) not, it's misleading to the extreme. I know that covers like this make the book more acceptable to buy and read in public but at the same time, they are silly. I'd like to think that as adult women, we can be trusted with a cover that isn't silly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Erotica, August 27, 2001
This review is from: The Top of Her Game (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)
Emma Holly amanages to balance plot, characterization and seriously hot erotic sex, all without dropping the ball on a single one. The author manages to show the growth of Julia, a life-time dominatrix and the growth of the other characters, none of which remains static. Everyone changes, everyone moves. Julia's cowboy is a complicated man, who shows Julia the power of sex not from a dom/sub view, but as equal partners. Definiately read this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Different, and very exciting!, September 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Top of Her Game (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)
I've read 3 of Emma Holly's books now ("Menage" first, followed by "Cooking Up a Storm") and loved all 3. And while I agree with another reviewer that Menage was my favorite, this one is definitely different and VERY hot! The domination/submission storyline is explored in a very interesting way -- somewhat reminiscent of Anne Rice's "Sleeping Beauty" books, though not as hard-core, and with a better story line! Both Julie and Zach are exactly stereotypes -- Julie's a bit larger than the usual beauty with the perfect figure, and Zach -- well, he has a "quirk" that sets him apart from the usual stud with superhuman sexual capacity and the ability to have an unlimited number of orgasms per encounter. Can't wait to read more from this writer!
