Black Lace

By Beverly Jenkins

Book Overview

The last thing Lacy Green needs is trouble--and handsome Mayor Drake Randolph has "danger" written all over him . . . especially when "His Fineness" accidentally runs her off the road. Despite Drake's sensuous charm, irresistible magnetism, and unwavering determination to make amends, she's thinking it might be smart to play it safe and keep her distance . . . if only his lips weren't so inviting.

But trouble comes from a different source when Lacy, as the head of Detroit's Environmental Protection Department, launches an investigation into the activities of a ruthless developer. Suddenly, Lacy becomes a target, dragged down into a swamp of greed, corruption . . . and murder. Now Drake Randolph might be the only one in Motown who can keep Lacy alive . . .

Customer Reviews

Great novel!!!

Black Lace is a great trilogy to Beverly's other 2 books ("Edge of Dawn" and "Edge of Midnight"). It was great to see that Drake and his brothers (Mykal and Saint) are still brothers in evry sense of the word. Also good to get updates on Sarita (Myk's wife) and Narissa (Saint's wife). Drake and Lacy are a great couple who are very much in love with each other. I love the fact that Drake is the more conservative of his brothers; he's also a little cocky (in a good way) which serves to lighten the mood. Lacy definately keeps him on his toes...I love her confidence! This novel was well written and readers will not be disappointed. A great love story and mystery. I look forward to more!!!

Blace Lace Hot Hot Hot

Black Lace was so hot that it was burning my hands as I was trying to read it. Beverly Jenkins is one of the greatest writers of romance she knows how to keep her readers begging for more of her books. Drake, Mykal,and Saint knows how to take there women to the throes of some very hot passions and mind bending trillers of adventures and desires if you found this book not to your liking then girlfriends all I got to say to you all is this go out and find yourself a Drake, a Mykal, or a Saint, have yourself a great passion and some adventure and then come back and tell us you didn't like this book. A 5 star rating is not enough for this book

An excellent book!

Loved this book! I hate to see the trilogy end because all three books, the Edge of Dawn, The Edge of Midnight and Black Lace were just superb. This is how romantic suspense is supposed to be written. I have no idea what those other reviewers were reading, but it couldn't have been this book. This was a funny, fast-paced, HOT read. Try it, you'll love it, too.

Her best contemporary yet!!! Fabulous!!!

I read this book in one sitting. It's fast, intriguing and very, very sexy. The dialogue was crackling with wit, the characters were well-drawn and believable and the storyline was both timely and exciting. I loved Lacey and 'His Fineness', Drake. Their chemistry was undeniable and the way it unfolded was sensually satisfying. Ms Jenkins continues to astound her readers with her ability to create books that are so readable you can't put them down until you're. Brava, Ms Jenkins, you've done it again! Thank you for another exciting romance suspense.

Black Lace

Beverly Jenkins is a true romance diva icon and I just hope this is not the last of the series. Black Lace was a great, quick, hot, and fun book and I feel Beverly should take a bow with His Fineness story. Lacy's run in with Detroits Mayor may have been a disaster for her escort but it opened up a romantic adventure bringing them together for the good of their fair city and the passion of their heart. Drake gave Lacy a lesson in love never learned in her first marriage to a man who only cared about his satisfaction over what he could give his young and impressionable wife. Drake may have been torn between whether he wanted to seek re-election but he was sure he wanted Lacy and when her life is in danger after her campaign to clean up the city from the toxic waste that's made the city it's dumping ground even the playgrounds, things really heat up between Lacy and Drake as he does his all to protect her and their growing love. This book was wonderful as all the Beverly Jenkins books I have on my shelf.
