About the author
Susan Johnson
270 books574 followersAnd it all began rather serendipitously. Long ago, as they say, in another time, when fast food hadn't reached our area and the only shopping was what the feed mill offered, I was reading a book that annoyed me .
My husband was lying beside me in bed, watching TV. Turning to him, I sort of petulantly said, "How the hell did this book get published?"
"If you think you're so smart," he replied, with one eye still on the TV, "why don't you write a book?"
So I did. And very badly.
I've since learned how to do, he said, she said, and a great variety of other adverb heavy, sometimes lengthy explanations of why my characters are saying what they're saying, along with finally coming to an understanding of what things like POV means. Point of View for you non-writers}.
Although, I still don't fully comprehend why it matters if you switch POV and I cavalierly disregard it as much as possible. So while my technical skills have hopefully improved, what hasn't changed is my great joy in writing. There's as much pleasure today in listening to my characters talk while I type as fast as I can, as there was the first time I put dialogue to paper--in long-hand, then, in my leather bound sketch-book.

Wow what a book. It kept my attention and had me breathing deeply. Hot, racy, interesting, and fun. Each author had a story to tell that was uniquely their own. If you are feeling a bit naughty, I highly recommend this book.

Thinly disguised porn, and improbable plot, at best. The last story was the least boring, but still had a cringy "sexual assault" like moment. I would actually give this zero stars if I could.

I remember reading this years ago. I bought this anthology solely for the Susan Johnson novella as I had read an earlier novella by her and had thoroughly enjoyed it. The blurb on the back sounded intriguing.
'Susan Johnson brings you to the decadent Regency period, where four bored debutantes concoct a most delightfully wicked contest: to seduce the so-called reformed profligate, Simon Mar, Marquis of Narne...'
I was extremely disappointed in the story and the description of 'four bored debutantes' was so wrong. If I remember correctly the four women weren't debutantes at all, and they certainly weren't as young as you would imagine a debutante to be.

A collection of five short steamy romance stories. Only the first one, by Susan Johnson is a historical; the rest are all contemporary.
