I picked this up at the Border's Bookstore, from the bestseller section. I was incredibly surprised to find that it is straight up erotica and would have been more appropriately titled "The House of Bizarre Sexual Proclivities."
I blushed through at least 200 of the 300 page book, which is the second in a three part "historical series." The book can be read alone, (without the other 2 books, not people)... and while I could easily imagine it in the supermar...more

Louisa Burton’s first book, House of Dark Delights, is an erotic fantasy set in a place which is literally enchanting. She has followed it with Bound in Moonlight, a collection of three stories, or novellas, which resemble a set of Russian wooden dolls, each containing a smaller doll down to the tiniest in the center. Each story takes place in a different historical period and each is referred to in a later story. In fact, the sexual imagery of objects hidden in other objects recurs throughout t...more
The way this author touches upon a fantasy and turns the phrase of it into a beautiful scene, is incredible.
I can't get enough of this series.
I am a published paranormal romance writer, and my goal is to be as captivating as this author.
She has the gift of being able to delight your senses, while she weaves so many small stories into the background, your head will spin.
Buy it, enjoy it, and pass her name around.
Burton is as good as Gold.

Each erotic tale is as unique as the heroine it is written about. Each story saturates the reader in a heavy dose of the sensual and the sexual, and this erotica is detailed, explicit and titillating. Nothing is taboo in the Grotto, anything goes, and the stories are definitely not for the prudish. While I like to think of myself as an open minded and audacious kinda gal, there were a few scenes in Slave Week that were a little too much for me; they edged a little too closely on the Sadomasochis...more
If you enjoy well-written erotica interwoven with a large dose of mythology that slips into the real world, both past and present, you'll enjoy this book. Written in three parts, from different perspectives, at different points in time, it will be a difficult book to put down. Interesting characters, use of language and description that provides a quality read. Highly recommended.
I didn't think it was possible but I enjoyed this second offering from erotica author Louisa Burton even more than her first book (which I loved). This is author is a must-read for those who love pure erotica. Highly recommended.
Loved it as much as her first!
Overall I liked this book, but not as much as the first in the series. This time around there was more history about the grotto and its inhabitants. And the stories about some of the guests delved more deeply into their relationships. Which would be fine, but I really just wanted more smut. ; )
Sequel to House of Dark Delights--Burton continues to reflect on the life and times of the follets, their keepers, and their consorts, depicting hot steamy encounters with heartbreakingly vivid emotional scenes as she continues to unfold the rich and erotic history of the chateau. The modern day plot thread is spun out a little further, adding the hook and tease for the next book in the series.
If you read this book before bedtime you will most likely have very sexy dreams. My only problem was the last story that ended rather abruptly. So, if you like erotic stories check this one out.
Not as good as the first book, but it's still good. Burton still got me enticed.
