This review is from: Velvet Glove (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)

I've become addicted to Emma Holly's erotic novels and I couldn't wait to read another one of her Black Lace offerings. Velvet Glove is a smoldering novel that centers on BDSM and other mouthwatering scenarios. Audrey is on the lookout for the perfect master, but things don't look too good when candidate number one, a influential millionaire, turns out to be a sadist and candidate number two, her old friend, is a big softy. But when she meets Patrick, a sexy barman and son of a famous politician, not only is the third candidate a charm, but she embarks upon a sexual odyssey that she hadn't envisaged. With sexy bondage scenes, man-woman-man threesomes and other scorching exploits, Audrey may have found the perfect dominant partner. But what's going to happen when she discovers that her sadistic ex-dom is stalking her? And will Patrick's misguided attempts to throw the stalker off affect his father's political career? There are various insatiable twists throughout the novel.

This isn't the best Emma Holly novel I've read. But her trademark building of tension, smoldering scenes and excellent plot development and characterization aren't lost in this book. I especially love how she illustrates S&M in a more positive light. Ms. Holly is one of the best erotica authors of this era and I shall continue to read her books with gusto. I recommend Velvet Glove...

5.0 out of 5 stars Her master's voice?, July 12, 2000

This review is from: Velvet Glove (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)

Emma Holly has pretty much established herself as one of the top authors of erotica. Her novels have compelling stories, well-rounded characters, and hot hot sex.

All of the characters are interesting and none are wasted - from bar-owner Patrick & transvestite singer Basil (with whom Audrey forms an unlikely threesome), to her old college friends, Tommy & Cynthia (living with each other but both in love with Audrey) and a host of others besides.

If you are not into S&M you will still enjoy Velvet Glove, because it is basically a love story with the plot twists created out of the twists & turns of the characters' interaction with each other.

Also Emma Holly has that rare storytellers gift of being able to pull her readers wholly into her world and make it ours as well. She makes the life of a submissive female seem not only normal, but positively idyllic.

Read this book and then buy everything else by Emma Holly!

This review is from: Velvet Glove (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)

I have been reading Emma Holly's work for several years. She has blended romance and high eroticism to a fine art. In VELVET GLOVE the scenes of old fashion style romance and hard edged S&M seem to just flow one into another. I found myself rooting for Patrick and Audrey and hoping that their love and passion for each other would prevail. The secondary characters are well written and visually the book is a feast. I highly recommend buying this and any other BLACK LACE novel written by Emma Holly. If you have not read any BLACK LACE novels and are curious as to what they are about I suggest starting with VELVET GLOVE. Its Simply The Best. Thanks again Emma.
