Confined to an institution and incorrectly diagnosed with acute nymphomania after being falsely accused of promiscuity by a powerful judge, eighteen-year-old Lucy Priven has no idea what to expect when she is removed from the asylum by two handsome doctors. After she is informed that she is now their legal ward, she soon finds herself being prepared for a thorough, intimate medical examination. Her refusal to disrobe for the exam earns her the first spanking of her life, but once she is stripped bare and fully on display she cannot hide her helpless arousal.
Doctors Benedict Crane and Thomas Allard are Victorian London’s foremost experts on curing sexual frigidity in women, and their intensely humiliating but highly effective techniques have helped them build a thriving practice. But as they embark on a new study exploring potential treatments for wanton female behavior, Benedict and Thomas are in need of a suitable subject for their research, and Lucy seems to fit the bill perfectly. To their surprise, however, it quickly becomes apparent that Lucy has been misdiagnosed.
While her body responds beautifully to both firm discipline and a man’s pleasurable touch, she is no nymphomaniac. Upon learning more about her past experiences, they decide that the best course of action is to regress Lucy to a childlike state, and before long she is delighting in the attention of her new guardians. But as she flourishes under their care, Benedict and Thomas must confront their growing attraction to their ward. When it becomes obvious that her need for them is just as intense as theirs for her, will the doctors be prepared to claim Lucy fully and give her exactly the medicine she requires?

Ava Sinclair is a best-selling Amazon romance author who caters to readers who appreciate a plot driven book where the steamy sex complements the story, rather than overshadowing it.
A hopeless bibliophile, Ava avidly reads across multiple genres, and this is reflected in her varied body of work that spans contemporary, medieval fantasy, western, historical, time travel and sci-fi. She especially enjoys world-building and crafting interesting and relatable characters.

Ava lives in southern Virginia in a farmhouse tucked away on a wooded hilltop. The first thing she did after moving in was to rip out the dining room and turn it into a library/office. This is where she spends most of her days, writing and being ignored by her cats.

Wow two Dr help me get out of the Santorum I was put in here by my husband anecdote not know anything until my saviour came sand took me home awesome story
Yet again, Ava Sinclair penned another delightful historical age-play and age-gap romance with Lucy and the Doctors. It chronicles the romantic journey of Lucy and Dr. Thomas Allard, and Dr. Benedict Crane. Both men specialize in female health and sexuality. Destiny brings them together when the head of St. Bart’s Assylum contacts them regarding a new patient, Lucy Priven Bonham. Her life is a sad tale as she became the victim of mean, arrogant man, Judge Archibald Bonham. He is a man more than twice her age. He married her hoping to cure his impotence. When he does not his cruelty erupts and has her confined to a mental asylum. Thomas and Benedict gain custody of her and become her guardians. They become captivated with her innocence and beauty. In the process they begin a polyamorous relationship. She begins to blossom until, Judge Bonham’s secretary, Nathan Stiles, decides he will use Lucy to destroy the Judge. Will Benedict and Thomas keep her safe? What happens to the Judge and Nathan? To find out, you must read this book.
With this character-driven romantic plot, I like the chemistry between the three lead characters. In particular, I liked caring and nurturing way the doctors helped Lucy overcome the trauma she suffered. Ms. Sinclair expertly uses dialog, point of view, and descriptive language all move her plot along. I enjoyed how she adds suspense through the antagonists—Judge Bonham and Nathan Stiles. They definitely exemplify true villains who stoop to great lengths to gain what they want and are willing to use an innocent and then discard her. This trend was a turn off for me as they were without redemption.

This was an interesting and delightful story that gives the reader a brief glimpse into the medical views and treatments of sexual dysfunction among women during the Victorian era. In the opening chapter we meet Drs. Thomas Allard & Benedict Crane who have a thriving practice where they provide help for women who may or may not be suffering from a sexual malady. I found this chapter to be quite entertaining as we are introduced to a method of treating frigidity in women. Mrs. Haversham accompanied by her husband is having a bolus (capsule) inserted anally, which is then slowly absorbed into her body. This mixture acts as an aphrodisiac by lowering a woman’s inhibitions while heightening her arousal and sensitivity to touch, thus allowing her the freedom to enjoy the pleasures of sex with her husband. Amusing really when you picture a prim & proper woman allowing herself to be subjected to this type of medical treatment!
Thomas and Benedict are looking for a research subject suffering from nymphomania to study when they receive word from Dr. Litman, who oversees St. Bart’s Asylum, that he has a new arrival that would be perfect for them. Lucy Priven finds herself in the asylum, drugged and in a straitjacket, after her husband Judge Bonham falsely accuses her of being a whore and a diseased nymphomaniac after a traumatic wedding night. Upon seeing her, Drs. Allard & Crane decide to take Lucy as their research subject.
Once in their care, Lucy is given a brief examination by Thomas to assess her current condition. Discovering that Lucy is still a virgin, both men now realize a grave injustice has been done. They decide to keep Lucy and help her recover from the sexual trauma she has experienced while documenting their methods.
From here, the story takes off as Lucy blooms under the loving care of Thomas and Benedict who allow her to explore and question her burgeoning desires as a woman. Their various methods of mild age play, spanking, and dominance have an unexpected, but pleasurable result for the three of them. I enjoyed the fact that Thomas and Benedict never made Lucy feel ashamed of anything she felt or did with her body. They encouraged her to always be open and honest with them, to never be afraid of the newly awakened sexual feelings she was experiencing. Allowing Lucy to make her own decisions in certain matters, you can see her becoming a confidant young woman who is comfortable with her newfound sexuality. Of course the story wouldn’t be complete without some intrigue and danger in the form of an unexpected nemesis who comes calling.
By the end of the book, I had fallen in love with Thomas and Benedict. IMO, their unorthodox and progressive treatment of Lucy will endear them to you as well! I thoroughly enjoyed this book, highly recommend it, and cannot wait to see what aspect of the Victorian period Ava Sinclair writes about next!!
A lovely romance that is not expected given the circumstances. I read this in one sitting as I was hooked from page one, turning page after page, and I would have happily kept right on reading. A steamy read with a hint of a soft gentle AP. Don't miss this one! I received this book from Stormy Night Publications as an Advanced Reader Copy.
Although this had the age play, this one delivered a story. The blurb caught my attention by it being a period piece with misdiagnosed female issues. Those can be fun and this one delivered.
There was a nice bit of suspense here too that added some drama. A good read.
The book was excellently written with a strong plot. The characters were well developed and very memorable. This is one of my favorite books by Ava Sinclair who is becoming one of my favorite go to authors.
