Another lovely story from Emmanuelle de Maupassant

This is a wonderful erotic love story with a twist. Gareth J Davies does an amazing job with the narration. I love all of the books written by Emmanuelle de Maupassant. If you love very steamy, hot historical romance, this is for you.

3.5 Overall

I usually enjoy books written by Emmanuelle de Maupassant. This one wasn't for me. If you like women in control over a man, and mostly erotica (vs a mysterious storyline like I'm accustomed to from this author) this might be a five star for you. I did remind myself that this is a beginning of series, book one of three.

Gareth J Davies is a great narrator. He has once again taken me to a world I see in my head through his narration. It is unique and well done.

Erotic Regency Romance at it's finest!

Yes, it's a panty drenched erotic tale of Regency England. So, if this isn't your cup of tea, I suggest this author's work may not be what your after.
On The other hand, if you want the pomp and ceremony, together with swoon worthy scenes of erotica, then ensure your either alone, or equipped with a good pair of headphones. so you don't miss on salacious word of this romp.

Steamy!

How refreshing to read, or in my case, listen to a historical story in which a woman of nobility takes charge of her own sexuality. This won't be a story for everyone, but if you like your FMCs strong, you like open bedroom, and other places doors, I believe you too will enjoy this story. Oh! And I do love Garreth Davis narrating! Off to the next one!

Wonderful book to read and listen

In a few words, unexpected story, gothic, forbidden desires, secret rebellion, headstrong heroine, humoristic part. Very well written.
The performance of the narrator is wonderful, as expected. I very much enjoyed this audiobook and I am looking forward to part two of this trilogy.

Well okay

As the start of a series, this was cool. it sets the stage and was a complete dose of erotica with a Gothic edge. Definitely gets the imagination going. Not a hearts and flowers romance but appears to be the foundation for more.
