BLACK ORCHID - Roxanne Carr
Black Lace
ISBN: 978-0-352-34188-4
July 2008
Erotic Romance
 

London, England - Present Day
 

Maggie is thoroughly bored with her sex life.  Her latest ‘boyfriend’ has become much too demanding, when all Maggie really wants is to have great sex.  Lamenting to a co-worker about the situation, Maggie finds herself invited to what she believes to be an exclusive health club.  The health they serve, however, is sexual in nature.  It turns out the Black Orchid club is for adventurous women who crave something a bit more exotic than the norm.  Maggie is immediately smitten with the concept, and the men.
 

But just how far is Maggie willing to go to satisfy her desires?  Exhibitionism?  Propositioning strange men?  Sex with other women?  BLACK ORCHID is one woman’s erotic journey into learning who she is.  Maggie initially thinks it’s all about sex, but soon discovers there is much more she needs to learn about herself.  While the story is erotic, it is tinged with a bit of desperation that negatively impacts the reader’s enjoyment.  Maggie, while ostensibly enjoying the sexual attentions and activities, is often shameful of her actions and scared in regards to the things Antony and Alexander, owners of the Black Orchid club, ask her to do.  This makes it difficult to engage completely with the characters.
 

How far would you be willing to go?  Check out BLACK ORCHID to see one woman’s decision.
