No Begging involved in the reading of this book

Beg Me by Lisa Lawrence is another good novel, a superb new release in 2007, and a sequel to Strip Poker by the same author. It's not necessary to have read Strip Poker, though, as Beg Me is a separate episode and all relevant background information is thoroughly covered in the novel.

It's a sophisticated modern book, a detective thriller offering a superb mix of entertainment and insight. In this novel, the main character is Teresa Knight, a black-British freelance detective with a strong personality and independent sexuality. With one of her friends murdered, she travels across continents to pursue the case, crossing dangerous individuals in her path.

Beg Me is a fine sensual thriller that exposes the reader to plenty of well-researched culture and history. It's quite heavy on African cultures and mentalities, with large sections devoted to the recent history of a country Teresa finds herself in. Barely over 300 pages, it's an easy read, not terribly heavy on lectures, and superior to your run-of-the-mill detective novel. I'd recommend this book to all who don't mind explicit narrative on deviant sexuality.
