The Best Thea Devine Has Written,
By A Customer
This review is from: Secret Pleasures (Mass Market Paperback)
I found this book exciting, thrilling and wonderful. It was one of Ms Devine's better novels. Ms Devine has always written juicy novels that are on the cutting edge of romance and pure unadulturated sex. Her character Roark is both intelligent and sexy to a fault. He is the type of man any women would love to be romanced by. His shrewd powers of deduction along with his innate sexuality is a force to be reckoned with

Secret Pleasures,
By Judy Edwards (Kent, Wa United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secret Pleasures (Paperback)
There is a good story plot if you like murder mysterys. Probably most people do not read erotica for a mystery. Throughout part of the book there was WAY too much sex. It just went on and on and nothing else. It has some rather sick characters and overall there was no love between the sex partners. The ending is rreal strange. But I would recommend.

Sex without Romance or Intensity,
By A Customer
This review is from: Secret Pleasures (Paperback)
I was very disappointed with this book. Other reviewers have already noted there is no emotional connection between the main characters. Throughout the story the female protagonist (Genelle) knows almost nothing about the male protagonist (Roak) except that she is in lust with him whenever he's around. There are plenty of sex scenes, but unlike good erotica there isn't sufficient sexual tension (or intensity) to really get things going. The book is essentially a dozen scenes of stranger-sex (each scene almost exactly the same) overlaid by a flimsy (and dull) murder mystery. Yes, the "underground" sex industry in London is referred to, but somehow the peep shows and cross-dressing are bland with Devine's depiction. There are far better romance novels, erotic romance novels, and erotic novels that you could spend your time on. The only redeeming aspect about this book is that Genelle is more sexually adventurous (read the prologue) than most romance heroines, thus putting her on a more level playing ground with Roak.
