REVIEW: Equal Opportunities by Mathilde Madden

Dear Ms. Madden: I confess that my only experience with Black Lace has been Emma Holly and at the time, she took me places I had never been. It was a bit of an eye opener for this girl. Since then, I’ve read, it seems, reams of erotic fiction and erotic romance but I admit(…)
