The author of the Ironwood series. Master eroticist Don Winslow looks back to the ascendancy of the Roman Empire for this tale of power and pleasure. Never was a city as depraved as Romeand never were women so relentlessly used as were Rome's voluptuous slaves! With no choice but to serve their lustful masters, these captive beauties perform their duties with the passion and purpose of Venus herself.
(Pseudonym) Who is Don Winslow? Hard to say; but we can only tell you who he is NOT. He is not the REAL Don Winslow. That honor belongs to a guy who writes whodunits for a living. In a case of bad timing (for him) the fake Don Winslow emerged in the golden age of erotic fiction and had established an international reputation as a writer of quality erotica. Then along came the author with birthright to the name and, as he struggled to become a literary icon in his chosen genre, he found to his alarm that people kept asking him if he still wrote those “dirty books.” One can sympathize with a writer who tries so hard to be taken seriously, only to find his reputation soiled by a common pornographer! And so it goes. Life is unfair.
And so we can tell you dear reader that the fake Don Winslow is an internationally best-selling author who has written some 20 books of erotic fiction.
I picked this up while looking for historical erotica. I wanted to read something about this era, and was hoping to find something that was somewhat accurate. This is not it. This book has loads of sex, followed by more sex, with a bunch of sex thrown in for good measure. So, if that's what you are looking for, give this a try.
