A Romantica® Regency historical erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave
I’m newly published erotic romance author with Ellora’s Cave. My first release "Temporary Mistress" debuted December 2011 with "Back in Your Arms" in January 2012.
Preparing for a special night out, Bella is reliving an afternoon of erotic pleasures with her lover. She has arranged to meet her lover at a masquerade party for four couples, who will ‘compete’ for a prize of one thousand pounds and the winning man obtaining the unofficial title of “Best Lover in London”.
While the story was quick and short, Cecily French maintained the ‘feel’ of the era, utilizing language appropriate for the time, and providing small details for readers to visualize the clothing and furnishings. Very quickly, the story becomes a series of sexual encounters, conversation and scenes between Bella and Ian, and while none are particularly unusual in this day and age, the frequency and experimentation, particularly in the time period in which the story is set does help to explain the intrigue. And, the wicked twist at the end was a clever surprise that added to the story.
Looking for a quick, short read that is different from the norm? This is the book.
