Duet of Desire

Paris 1901 is the setting for the erotic Duet of Desire.

Elise Montfort has pulled herself out of a life of poverty to become a haughty young opera diva. She becomes a member of Paris society because of her singing, plus the men who gather where ever she is. She has learnt to think only of herself and to put the past and her deadly secrets behind her. When Gustave Dufarge, the man she fears comes into her life again, she’s devastated.

Marc le Marquis de Drammond offers her his love and care, but Elise has been used, her heart broken too often and despite caring for him, removes herself from his life. Look forward to the ending in this passionate tale as the story is worth reading.

This reviewer found Duet of Desire to be a refreshingly different story. The language is erotic and sensual with explicit sex scenes, which may offend some people. The action is easy to follow, with good rhythm and flow. The conflict is an integral part of the plot and is very well done. The story, written with passion and verve has a dialogue that has a good tone and depth. The character’s motivations are clear where needed and the hero is a man with tenderness to go with the dominance he seeks. The character’s passion is mirrored in the prose. “She gasped and shook like a sapling in gale winds, as her body vibrated with untold pleasure,” is an example that rang with this reviewer. The sense of historical era is well done and there are only a few editing mistakes.
