Black Lace - The Accidental Mistress by Portia Da Costa

I was really looking forward to reading this book after loving the first book in the series and it certainly didn't disappoint.

The book picks up where the last one left off but don’t worry if you haven’t read the first book, there’s enough information to get you up to speed.

I immediately got engrossed in John and Lizzie’s love life and the other characters. There are plenty of twists and a few shocks within the story and I can’t wait to read the next book.

The story as usual was beautifully written. Although they were fewer sex scenes in this book than the original they were still excellent.

When I ordered this book I hadn't realised it was part of a trilogy. It was on offer so I ordered it on a whim with the hope of an interesting read.

Thankfully it is written in such a way that I was able to pick up on the storyline instantly without going back to read the first book in the series.

For all the readers out there who enjoyed the Fifty shades of Grey trilogy, then this will appeal to you. It follows the same sort of storyline of a young women meeting a dominant, well to do, handsome man. Basically every women's fantasy. So I found it very easy to relate to and was happy to imagine I was Lizzie the main character in the story.

Although there are quite a few sex scenes in the book, the book is more of a romance novel than a naughty sex book. The sex scenes are detailed but not to a point where they become vulgar and distasteful like in some previous books I have read. I did find myself getting turned on by the sex scenes and had to stop reading at several parts as I was very aroused.... Not that my partner complained.

I do no want to go into too much detail in this review as I do not want to give the storyline away, however I found it to be well written and a fantastic read.

The two main characters where both very likeable and I found myself unable to put the book down. In fact I read it cover to cover in 24 hours. Unfortunately Lovehoney do not seem to stock the final book in the trilogy at present, so I will have to shop else where as I am already excited to find out how the story will end.

This book is the sequel to the accidental call girl, but you don't need to have read it.

It leads in quickly to a fast paced romance, with an interesting plot. The sex scenes were hot and steamy, with no repetitiveness, and the characters were believable and relatable. I would have enjoyed slightly more between the sex scenes, but the plot was good and you could pick this book up at any point and be sure to find a scene to strike your fancy.

Overall a great book for getting yourself going.
