A Study in Shame

by Lucy Salisbury

Lucinda Salisbury is the perfect PA, as elegant as she is efficient. But her reserved exterior hides a secret.

‘A Study in Shame’ is an intensely kinky erotica novel perfect for anyone lusting after much more than ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’.

Sex makes Lucy feel ashamed, and the more ashamed she feels, the more she likes it.

An executive team building trip in the country provides her with the public undoing she has always craved.

Lucy is a lonely young woman with a hell of an erotic imagination. Her limitless libido is based mostly on fantasies of being shamed, to the filthiest, naughtiest, most humiliating degree. What's great about this book is the protagonists voice--she's all at once slutty, self-deprecating and yet somehow...sweet and innocently lusty through all of it. Many of the sex scenes are purely fantasy but described in such wickedly hot language that the fantasies are as satisfying as her actual rendezvous. The story is fun and you really root for Lucinda and her exploits the whole way through!

First off, I really liked this story. The author knows how to write. She has a fabulous albeit very British-seeming style, very descriptive with characters that pop off the page with their own distinctive personalities. The main character, Lucy, is a woman in two-handed touch with her own wants, needs and desires. If you take a chance on this book (and I do suggest it), then settle yourself in for a truly delightful romp through both her real and imaginary sexual encounters as she struggles to find a creative outlet for her 'shameful' sexual needs. In so many ways, this book went way over the top and could so easily have painted the main character out to be crazy (particularly in regards to her demonic teddy bear--omg, what she does with that bear has got to be a crime somewhere!), and yet it didn't. There is some bdsm in here, some consensual erotic spanking, and definitely the main character's attitude that she should be sexually and sensually punished for her 'bad' behavior might not sit well with everyone, but it worked for me. As so many authors have before her, Ms Salisbury could so easily have written the heroine up as a slut, something to be used, abused and degraded--especially considering the context of the story. But she didn't. She walked that fine line expertly, and Lucy ends the book the way she starts it: as a beautiful, sexual, competent woman. I loved that.

What really drew me to the series this book is a part of, is the sexuality of Lucinda the heroine. She's a bright, intelligent young woman who is totally uninhibited and unashamed in her sexual adventures, which are not at all what would be called 'mainstream.'

Lots of hot, hot, hot sex and some bizarre, but side splitting moments with her strangest and most unlikely sexual partner.

What was with the teddy???? A very strange story that will have you glued, and a naughty teddy that will bring a smile to your face. I could not tell you if I enjoyed the story because it was a surprise and I am still thinking about how I feel.

This was a sexy and very kinky read. A certain amount of suspension of disbelief was required - some of the plot points are just too convenient. The book almost read like a woman's kinky fantasy.

Lucy's creativeness is mind blowing and extremely kinky on so many levels!! I was not disappointed.
