Summary: Beth is just the girl to meet on a boring seminar ..
Review: well, maybe she'd be good to meet during ANY seminar ...

A divorced,late 30's Beth, with the body of a girl in her 20's, just out of a torrid afair with a 16 year old boy decides to work for a small brokerage firm in London as a financial analyst. After being there for a short while she hunts and seduces her boss, Simon, a day before she is sent to a seminar in a small Northern town.

To say that Beth is a very sexual person would probably be the understatement of the millenium since there seems to be very few people, either male or female that she doesn't like to couple with. I must admit that I did find it hard to believe that her first lesbian experience happens in this book at her age! Trust me with her libido, and the fact that she has been diddling herself since she was small makes this part even harder to swallow...

The great thing about this book is that it is well written and I never lost interest even though it is jam packed with raw sex. I guess I got a kick out of our oversexed heroine that seemed to always take mental steps back to watch herself having orgiastic sex with people she just met. The fact that Beth was a liscentious slut really didn't seem to bother her and that really was the wonderfull juice of the story.

The author certainly attained the Black Lace standard of a well written, easy to read, complete and believeable story of a woman that knows what she wants and then does not, supposedly,(at least not due to self recrimination retrospection) loose any sleep over her nightime escapades....

On an aside though and for thisand other contemporary authors, puullllleeeeze ...... lets stop the dumb safe sex condom references, gimme a break, it's erotic lit after all. I'm sick and tired of the warning lables on cigarettes, alcohol, movies, music etc etc not have to deal with this during the quiet little moments that I get to read a yummie book.....considering all the things they do in erotic lit books it appears very gratuitous, and definitely not a trun on for the heroine to have to rip the foil wrapper off a condom 20 or 30 times in the book. It's a given OK the girl practices safe sex..just say it and then lets get on with the story please ..... I mean when they get into a car you do not have to be told ... every single time ...they take out the key and put it into the ignition ..... right ...
