Book Description

Black Lace September 2003
An arousing tale of erotic initiation written by a pioneer of erotica...When Rosalind Howard becomes Julian Hadey's private librarian she soon finds herself attracted by his persuasive charms and distinguished appearance. He is an unashamed sensualist who, together with his wife, Celeste, has hatched an intriguing challenge for their new employee. As well as cataloguing their collection of erotica, Rosie is expected to educate Celeste's young and beautiful cousin David in the arts of erotic love. Having led a sheltered life, the young man is simmering with youthful passion. In luxurious surroundings Rosie finds herself drawn into increasingly decadent scenarios where experimental sex is on the menu and like-minded libertines read the rewards of unbridled desire.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of contemporary erotica by women for women ...., September 4, 2003
By 
Rudolf Spoerer "dowadiddi" (Weston, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Tutor (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)
I have devoured all of Portia Da Costa's books available at Amazon and this one was always impossible to find until recently when Black Lace released a 2003 print run ....

The Tutor is the story of a young Brit girl, Rosie, start a new life as a live-in librarian with a wealthy couple with the express task of cataloging an extensive private collection, and, provide some special tutoring to the couple's supposedly shy young nephew....

What makes this book so wonderfull and the author so masterfull is that she is able to write an erotic modern tale using nothing more than 'normal' sex and eroticism.... yup, the players in this book do not have to get beaten, whipped, cut up, degraded worse than my dog, peed on etc etc etc

Portia da Costa's gentle writing allows the reader to vicariosly enter the mind's eye of the heroine and enjoy those most wonderfull sexual escapades of total sumbission to pleasures of the flesh. The skill of the author is that she does not have to enter the world of 'kink' to tell her simple but very pleasing story ......

4.0 out of 5 stars A sensual fantasy with likable characters, April 3, 1998
This review is from: The Tutor (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)
Set in contemporary times this is an unlikely fantasy about a reclusive millionaire who hires a young woman to catalog his library of books and his prized possession of erotic literature. Anna? Needing to get a fresh start after recently suffering a bad breakup with her insensitive boyfriend accepts the job even though she senses that something is not on the level after an odd interview with her handsome employer. She soon discovers that her real purpose for being in his house is to tutor his virginal nephew in the arts of love-making. Being an open-minded woman she eagerly accepts her new position and surrenders to her passion and learns several interesting things herself.

I enjoyed this book very much and found the two main characters to be extremely likable people. Admittedly, the plot was very thin but who the heck cares when the sex scenes are this exciting! Some were tender and some were very kinky. There were several f/m scenes along with several m/m, some mild S&M, f/f and 3-way sex so if those things offend you be warned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!!, September 14, 2003
By 
Akron Reader "kdtoles" (Akron, OH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Tutor (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)
I read this book to prove to myself that as an enlightened male I can read what I percieve as "feminine" fiction and still be secure in my masculinity. The truth is, I was so engrossed by this book that I felt a sense of disappointment as I read the final chapters. I was hoping for a sequel of this novel because the main character is so likable. Its been 3 or four years since I've read it and it has stayed with me. I have lost my copy since and I hope to find another very soon!
