A Dangerous Lady

This novel, like all out of print Black Lace offerings, was not easy to find. I am so glad that I persevered and was able to obtain this copy. Having read The Ninety Days of Genevieve, one of my top three Black Lace favorites, I couldn't wait to read another novel by Lucinda Carrington. Once again, Ms. Carrington has written a mind-blowing erotic novel that sizzles with inventive erotic scenes coupled with a compelling story and an interesting historical setting to boot. Lady Katherine Gainsworth is forced into marriage and moves to Prussian Duchy of Heldenburg. Katherine knew that her life wouldn't be the same, but she hadn't anticipated the erotic games of control and debauchery that transpire in Heldenburg. Katherine discovers things about her sexuality through Heldenburg's unconventional erotic couplings. There are various twists throughout the novel.I couldn't put this book down. Lucinda Carrington sure knows how to write excellent erotica! The best part is that the novel has an ingenuous romantic appeal to it that makes it all the more irresistible. Neither one of the two male characters is as sensual as Sinclair in Ninety Days, but they're nevertheless yummy. And I loved the scenes! They're inventive, sizzling and amazing! I also found the setting -- European Prussia -- fascinating. Again, I am so glad I didn't give up until I found this novel. I cannot recommend it enough. If you're unable to obtain a copy, get The Ninety Days of Genevieve instead.

|Great sex! Two great guys to fantasise over ...loved 'em both! Great story - kept me hooked to the end. What more do you want? Buy it!!

This story takes hold of you and doesn't let you go till the very end. An excellent erotic story that is lushly written and transports you to times gone by with a strong emphasis on romantic erotica. It is well paced with enough twists in the story that kept me turning the pages and drew me into finishing the story the same day of purchase. It was easy to step into the heroine's very erotic adventure. Our heroine is forced into a marriage of convenience that transports her to European Prussia. Her father's gambling debts set in motion a series of events that forces this blue blooded aristocrat to marry and produce an heir. The background is well researched and set in the last century. Her new father-in-law welcomes our heroine in a very strange but highly charged encounter to her new family. Circumstances find the heroine caught up in a web of intrigue and lust that involves some highly erotic encounters. I absolutely adored the character of her father-in-law, a very dark, dangerous, naughty and erotic individual. The initial byplay between the two is very exciting. Lucinda Carrington writes extremely well and I thoroughly recommend this book and any other of her books.
