Historical Erotic Romance

 

Sugar and Spice, is erotic, very naughty and not for the faint hearted, as explicit sexual scenes and language. The setting is a very special house in Cornwall, where your fantasies can come true. Mrs. Bertram was the hostess and passed no judgment or boundaries, on her guest’s deep secrets.

OBSESSED, is prim and proper Gwendolyn Farrell’s tale. She is in love with her husband, but he treats her with disdain. She’d thought being married would be a dream come true, but instead it is a nightmare. Desperate, she persuades him to join her at a house in the country. She wants more than a man spilling his seed, and begins to live out her fantasies with the help of the willing hostess.

ENSLAVED, is Lillian Rutherford’s last hope, when she finds herself unable to satisfy her husband. When she discovers he is taking another woman to the erotic hideaway, she takes matters into her own hands. With the help of his lover’s husband, Lillian ruthlessly pursues her dream.

EXPOSED, is Gareth and Cora’s tale, as he fulfils her fantasies and exposes the secrets she keeps hidden. Gareth may not be a gentleman by birth, but Cora discovers how gallant an ex-coal miner can be. 

The three tales are easy to follow, with plenty of action, especially of the sexual kind. The scenes are well paced and the characters are very life like. Human with many flaws they have a fascinating time at this interesting house of erotic games. Each conflict was different and resolved in some unusual but valid ways. The conflicts were real and kept the stories on track. Each one had it’s own style and were always solved in a satisfactory way for the reader.

The characters motivation was clearly defined, keeping each tale fresh and the mood well defined. This reviewer found the stories flowed smoothly, with the scenes and moods changed enough to keep the readers interest. The overall structure was very good and the theme was consistent throughout. The sexual encounters were varied and very explicit bringing a new perspective to the meaning of Victorian romps. If you enjoy your sexy books to have excitement, and interesting and different sexual encounters, this is an ideal book to read.
