awesome!

Man oh man, this is a good book! I wish I had had a woman like Rosalind to train me during my inexperienced years. This book is delicious! I devoured it in one sitting! These Black Lace books may be written by women for women, but men can enjoy them just as much! Plus, we also get to learn what makes women tick.

Wonderful!!

I read this book to prove to myself that as an enlightened male I can read what I percieve as "feminine" fiction and still be secure in my masculinity. The truth is, I was so engrossed by this book that I felt a sense of disappointment as I read the final chapters. I was hoping for a sequel of this novel because the main character is so likable. Its been 3 or four years since I've read it and it has stayed with me. I have lost my copy since and I hope to find another very soon!

A wonderfully erotic read

Rosie has a bit of a self-esteem problem. She thinks she's fat and not at all attractive. Yet she finally managed to dump her jerk of a boyfriend who wasn't helping matters. She then responds to a want ad for a job to catalog a private library of books. The man who hires her has plans for her though... to teach his very shy nephew the ways of sex. Rosie is suddenly thrown into the midst of a very decadent family where she's fair game to the nephew, the man and his wife... even the sexy little masseuse. Rosie also finds her self-esteem in this world, where she's considered beautiful and voluptuous... and she comes to enjoy this lifestyle as well.I tore this book when I read it. It reads fast and it's wonderful. It's very easy to identify with the main character... I mean who hasn't had a bout of poor self-esteem? Yet she finds acceptance where she is. The erotic bits deliver and will leave you breathless.

A sensual fantasy with likable characters

Set in contemporary times this is an unlikely fantasy about a reclusive millionaire who hires a young woman to catalog his library of books and his prized possession of erotic literature. Anna? Needing to get a fresh start after recently suffering a bad breakup with her insensitive boyfriend accepts the job even though she senses that something is not on the level after an odd interview with her handsome employer. She soon discovers that her real purpose for being in his house is to tutor his virginal nephew in the arts of love-making. Being an open-minded woman she eagerly accepts her new position and surrenders to her passion and learns several interesting things herself. I enjoyed this book very much and found the two main characters to be extremely likable people. Admittedly, the plot was very thin but who the heck cares when the sex scenes are this exciting! Some were tender and some were very kinky. There were several f/m scenes along with several m/m, some mild S & M, f/f and 3-way sex so if those things offend you be warned.
