When reforming bad girl Maria Lewis takes a drone job in local government back in her home town, the quiet life she was looking for is quickly disrupted by the enigmatic presence of her boss, Borough Director, Robert Stone.

5.0 out of 5 stars I want a boss like Mr. Stone!, July 4, 2006

By	Muneca (California) - See all my reviews

I almost didn't buy this book because while I thought the last book I read from her The Tutor (Black Lace) was alright when I buy erotica I like to buy hot, steamy, out of this world not just alright. But I was browsing threw a book store and decided to read a couple pages just to see what it was about and could not put it down so I bought it and oh man was this book what I love to buy.


This book is hot, hot, HOT! The book starts off with a powerful boss playing games with the new employee but when it ends these two are equals and you just know they are going to have loads of fun. I'm not one who typically likes books about dominates' and submissives' or the power games they play but thankfully this book had a good balance and I wouldn't have minded a boss like Mr. Stone. Damn he's hot.


Love this book!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, December 4, 2006

By	steamkitty "steamkitty" (Oregon) - See all my reviews

I am having trouble writing this book review without gushing, because it was truly a wonderful read. There wasn't one thing in the book I would change. Characters are hot and steamy and, though somewhat larger than life, still are people one hopes might really exist. The sex is super and the experiences are different from situations I have read about before. Not the usual doms and subs, but people who are real enough to be comfortable in changing roles and evolving personalities. It will be very difficult to wait for the next adventure in "Stoneland". I want to see much more (!) of Clever Bobby, Maria, and the rest.

This book is worth buying by anyone who wants hot sex, unique situations, and characters who are great fun to know.

REVIEWER'S OPINION:
Read this for the erotic scenes, not for the plot or characters. Although Mr. Stone is an unusual character. I think I'd prefer a different storyline, but for readers wishing for a turn on, this should do it.

STORY BRIEF:
Maria gets a job as a clerical worker at Borough Hall (similar to City Hall). Mr. Stone is Director of Finance (one of top management). He is average looking, middle aged, slightly graying, and somewhat thick around the middle. Maria is extremely attracted to him. He has a commanding sexual presence. They have several secret rendezvous at work. He doesn't call her for a while after each one, and she wonders if he's lost interest, and then he sweeps her into another encounter. A major storyline is Maria is drawn to Mr. Stone but doesn't know where she stands. There is still some of this even at the end. Another storyline is Mr. Stone is always planning some new and unexpected sexual encounter, usually with the risk of being seen. There are a lot of sex games including self pleasuring, handcuffs, spanking, whipping, sex in public, men with men, women with women, group sex, and bathroom activities.
