|
An ENE Review of the novel
Lawless Games by Emma Kaufmann
|
| |
|
|
| |
| The lawyers are everywhere! Turn on your television, and Ally McBeal
will be prancing across it, all legs and arms and very little else. Go to
the movies, and you'll find similar fare. Check the mainstream shelves at
your favorite bookstore, and you'll see authors like John Grisham, not to
mention the many mysteries that revolve around the legalsystem. Erotic attorneys?
Well, why not? |
| |
| Lawless Games centers around Chloe, a young British woman who has just
graduated from school and is ready to begin her career in law. The British
system is a little different from the American one, of course; she needs
to find a job where she can get into a training program and learn how to
become a solicitor. She does have the necessary schooling to be a paralegal,
and thanks to Jaspar, a young man she meets while on vacation in Australia,
she lands a position with a law firm in London. There is one place open
in the firm's training program, and Chloe hopes it will be hers. |
| |
| Chloe is lovely, of course, and in possession of an active
libido which can be enhanced with alcohol. Her charms are not lost on Jaspar,
nor are they lost on John, his uncle and Chloe's new boss. Felicity, Jaspar's
sister finds Chloe rather attractive, too. So, in between the blackmail
and scheming, there are many moments of raging hot passion -- between Chloe
and John, Chloe and Greg from the mailroom, Chloe and Felicity, too. |
| |
| If you're looking for a hot read for the long trial of summer, Lawless
Games is definitely on the docket. It not only has plenty of sex, but a
fair helping of intrigue, too. This book is a quick read that will have
you panting in places. On that -- I rest my case! |

| |
| Imagine a cocktail, one part Anais Nin, another part John
Grisham, laced with a secret ingredient, a little something
that gives it that extra zing, and what have you got? The
new erotic thriller by Emma Kaufmann: Lawless Games. |
| |
| Emma Kaufmann leads you into an exclusive, high-stakes world
of passion and deception - where two ambitious lawyers are
locked in a furious power struggle. |
| |
| John Richardson, the ruggedly handsome partner at a top
London law firm, handled his business affairs the way he handled
his women - with charm, daring and ruthless self-control.
A man used to the very best, John hired Chloe Hamilton, and
assumed the proud beauty would be just another easy conquest. |
| |
| Destined for each other, yet wary of each other's motives,
John and Chloe engage in a dance of suspicion and passion
that tests the very soul of their star-crossed love. |
| |
| As a twisting path of secrets takes them from London's courtrooms
to the witchcraft-imbued Cat Island, Chloe finds herself ensnared
in a bewildering web ... a seductive, dangerous trap of pride,
passion, loyalty, and overwhelming lust. |

| About The Author: |
| |
| Emma Kaufmann lived in London, England for the first thirty
years of her life. Then, tiring of the constant rain and hectic
pace of London life she immigrated to Baltimore where she
now writes full time. |
| |
| Emma Kaufmann has published one previous novel, Lured by
Lust (Black Lace). Guilt, a psychological thriller, will be
out soon. Her short stories have appeared in numerous webzines
including Clean Sheets,
the Erotica Readers
Association, Hercurve
and Sexilicious.
Last year she appeared on a UK television documentary on female
sexual fantasies. |
| |
| She toiled in the real world for several years, at a law
firm, in public relations and later, broke and between jobs
as a maid in a London dominatrix' parlor. This experience
caused her imagination to start working overtime and soon
she was penning and publishing erotic literature. |
| |
| She says, "It annoys me the way people always assume that
a book can't be great literature if it has a fair amount of
sex in it. That kind of attitude is just ridiculous! Of course,
there is badly written sex out there, writing that gives erotica
a bad name. However, my work does not just encompass sex,
it's always about sex and SOMETHING ELSE. I am constantly
pushing forward the boundaries of erotica, and enjoy mixing
genres together, as in Lawless Games, which is a legal thriller,
but also very sexy." |
