enjoyable erotica

After the Terror ends, Renee establishes a brothel, but keeps Marguerite away until years later when her niece is forced to become one of her girls.

“Out of the Storm” by Susan Johnson.In 1894, Lulu enters a shack followed by a stranger William. She tells him her name is Sarah. They share an evening of lovemaking. Two weeks later, William, who is Russian Prince Mikhail, visits Lady Darlington who is his “Sarah”.

“Enchanted” by Nikki Donovan. The knight abducts Esmay and takes her to the Beast Alexander who wears a mask to hide his disfigured visage. Alexander has seen Esmay and wants her, but also prays that she fall in love with him in spite of his monstrous face in order to lift the curse that ruined his face.

“With His Promise” by Liz Madison. Port’s army besieges Victoria’s castle until Stephen arrives with help. Stephen offers marriage to Victoria that will enable them to combine forces and stop the powerful Port. Victoria fears the loss of her independence.

Though F is an overused word as if the authors vied to see who could apply that profanity to their writing the most times, each tale is a well written erotica romance. None of the stories provide deep characters, but fans of erotica tales will find each contribution delectable.
