Review: Cat has it all, good job, successful boyfriend, powerful friends...and a little craving for a man in a hard hat, and that taste fo the dirty and rough she can only get from him. Cat has been having an affair for some time, but things get sticky when her fling starts working for the sucessful boyfriend.

Summary: Great fantasy situation fizzles out...
Review: I'd heard great things about Alison Tyler before I decided to give one of her erotic novels a whirl. The premise of Something about Workmen fascinated me. The story of a successful Hollywood screenwriter having a rough, steamy affair with a gorgeous construction worker gave me the impression that I'd be reading a rather juicy erotic story. Well... there are some great scenes throughout the novel, especially the ones that center on Cat's illicit affair with the construction worker, especially since the protagonist is reluctant to leave her rich boyfriend, but the overall story and other erotic scenes are ho hum at best. I like erotic novels that enthrall me with a compelling story that mingles well with the erotica. This book bored me to tears. This is a disappointing Black Lace offering, especially after having read and adored The Ninety Days of Genevieve. I intend to read another of Alison Tyler's offerings to see if this novel's disappointment had been a fluke. I don't recommend this novel. However, people who aren't bothered with the lack of an interesting story would love this book if only for the steamy scenes with the protagonists...

Summary: Absolutely Sizzling
Review: This is a very sexy story from Black Lace's Alison Tyler. Cat Harrington leads a double-life. A script doctor with a successful engineer boyfriend, she engages in a risky and risque relationship with the head of a road crew. Brock is a rough-and-ready type who fulfills her sensuous cravings for honest, skin-on-skin sex. He's good-looking. And sexy. And built. Better yet, Brock likes her when she's dirty, while everyone in Cat's world expects her to be clean.
Before Cat can make her decision about which man is right for her, her boyfriend is promoted. His position puts him directly in charge of her lover. Now, Cat is about to learn something about herself-
something about her boyfriend-
and something about workmen.
None of the scripts Cat works on are as twisted as the one her life has become! This is a hot, hot book!

Summary: Don't waste your money...
Review: What, like, a waste of time ! I'll admit it; I read Black Lace novels for the graphic sex; a story line I can get in a Nora Roberts book. This book had potential with the protaganist torn between her staid, vanilla sex fiance and hot, mind-blowing sex with a studly construction worker. But, I didn't expect the 'fade-to-black' sex romps. Boring, boring, boring. It was also hard to tell what was real and what she was making up. All in all a very disappointing read. I gave it 1 star for potential only.
