This review is from: The Actress (Black Lace Series) (Paperback)

It could have been that the ties-in here weren't my kink, but I didn't enjoy this title as much as I'd hoped. Millie, our heroine, ventures into the naughty-film industry through a connection in naughty-photos. She makes and loses friends and compatriots; she has a brief stint as a mistress in a "house of correction," and falls in love along the way. Alas, I really didn't like Millie as a character, and found some of the decisions she makes to be implausible. There is exploration of other issues, including Millie's relationship with her female tutor-turned-lover. The plot synopsis on the back cover hints at more BDSM content than is actually in the text, which had been what I'd been looking for; this could be why I was disappointed.
