"Between the Lines" takes you into the publishing world of erotica. Alexandra Tate, also referred to as "The Ice Queen," has spent more than ten years creating Tate Publishing which is a successful publishing company. Alexandra has a very hard edge too her, and while she might be respected by others in the business, she is not well-liked. In her private time, she likes to use erotica fiction to fuel her fantasies so that she can take care of her own needs. When she discovers that her favorite erotica author, Sterling Morris, is looking for a new publisher, she does everything she can to recruit him into her company and into her life, and I do mean everything.

Sterling's actual experience with women is very limited. As a matter of fact, until he steps into this story, the majority of his experience is in his own mind. Obviously he has a very creative and active imagination because his books are so popular. As he gets sucked into Alexandra's world, he enjoys his time with her, but he discovers that there is someone else who is more able to capture his heart. Alexandra will stop at nothing to try to keep Sterling in her bed. She is a ruthless woman. Sterling has to decide what is most important to him.

"Between the Lines" is a tale that takes you into the wicked world of publishing. The women in this story are actually more aggressive and experienced than most of the men. This was an interesting twist in this erotic story. Having the main female character not well-liked also made the story more interesting. Schwersenska takes you into her mind, and she doesn't have too many redeeming characteristics. This made the story much more fun to read. The erotic scenes, both created in the characters minds, and in between the sheets, are also well-written and descriptive. The author brings them alive on the pages. The book runs just over 100 pages, so for someone that needs to take a break and escape into a fantasy world, "Between the Lines," is a perfect place to run away too.
