4.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic - but not for the faint-hearted, 8 April 2008
Having heard mixed reports on this novel, I was eager to read it myself. My first thought was that since it was the first Black Lace title ever published, that it would be a little tame. However, this is far from the truth! Cassandra's Conflict is the tale of a young woman employed as a governess to two young children. However, Cassandra soon discovers that her employer has an ulterior motive. She is soon drawn into the wild and decadent world of sexual perversion, where games include submission and domination, spanking, humiliation, toys and much more.
Cassandra, who had previously had next to no sexual experience, resists. She doesn't understand what is happening and believes that it's wrong. However, she is more than a little in love with her employer, the Baron, so she eventually submits and does as she is told just to stay close to him. Soon, Cassandra comes to realise she more than enjoys the world of sexual pleasure, pain and humiliation. At the same time, she is pitted against the Baron's fiancee, Katya, in a desperate battle of wills to see who gets to stay with the Baron, and who will be leaving the Hampstead mansion. Only reading the book will tell you what happens next...
Overall, I really enjoyed this. As I said, I wasn't sure what to expect, given the mixed reviews. However, it's incredibly well written. I did find the plot a little far-fetched, but I was drawn into the book so quickly that I soon forgot my misgivings! The characters are excellently portrayed, and their kinky games were described in great detail. There were some things which I did find went almost beyond perverted and didn't do anything for me. But the vast majority of this book was really sexy and got me going! However, I'm pretty unshockable, so I think those that have more gentle tastes than mine perhaps wouldn't appreciate this. But those who enjoy reading about sub/dom relationships, particularly those taken to extremes, will love this book.
Excellently written, and completely compelling. I couldn't put it down.

Submission and domination at its best, 11 Feb 2006
Really enjoyed this book, one of her best, good plot and characters with lots of very erotic and sensual submission scenes. Wish she would write more in this genre as well written ones are difficult to find. Perversity and pleasure definately went hand in hand!

He said he wanted a governess, but he makes her his toy., 10 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Cassandra can't understand why she allows an attractive, but cruel Baron and his decadent girlfriend to use her as their sex toy. Definitely only for the fetish crowd. I did not enjoy this book, but if your fantasies involve having a cruel lover force you into utterly humiliating situations this is the book for you.
