The Barrington library is unique. . .and Miss Portia Carew just peeked into a tempting tale of desire--forbidden, lusty, and desperately erotic desire. She wants more. Much more. How fortunate that she is alone and hidden. . .well, almost hidden. That handsome rake Mark Knightson has witnessed her session of secret pleasure and he knows she's ready to experience what only he can give her. Delicious, unmentionable, carnal delight. . . Warning This Is A Really Hot Book (Sexually Explicit) Celia May Hart discovered erotica while at university and spent long, lonely hours in the library writing out her desires. She discovered Anais Nin, Erica Jong, John Cleland, the Earl of Rochester and John Donne. Her first ever sex manual was Richard Burton's "The Perfumed Garden." Her collection has since expanded. It certainly keeps her married life interesting
This story is a great beach read or poolside erotic novel. Mostly it is M/F but there is one girl girl (F/F) pairing. It's a Victorian era sex romp that takes place in the Country House of British Aristocracy. I hope to see a sequel that might center around the character of Lucy!
Wow!!

I loved this book. It is about a strong young woman who starts out believing she wants nothing to do with men, and so must learn to pleasure herself. She is observed in the midst of this self exploration by an incredible man of passion and expertise. The very sexy hero takes our young heroine on a journey of carnal exploration that is (sigh) amazing.
Good but not great.

Compared to other books I've read published by Aphrodisia, this book was relatively tame. Though I did enjoy reading it, at times I wished the main male character, Knightson, could have been a little less 2 dimentional. I know this is erotica and I shouldn't ask for much in the character development department, but I've read better. The ending dissapointed me the most. It just somehow seemed rushed. But, overall, like I wrote earlier, I did enjoy reading this book and would still recommend it for anyone looking to get lost in erotica with a 19th century British twist.
