Nuns in Love: A Novel of Desperate Acts

Summary: Oh so naughty, but, oh so nice!
Review: Fresh off of reading The Sisters of Montebello, or Nuns in Love, I find myself extremely satisfied, no pun intended! Eric George writes vividly, giving you every pertinent detail imaginable, and giving you the ability to visualize what you are reading.

Although this novel can be classified as very erotic, it is erotic in all of the good meanings of the word. It is not disturbing in any way, and in fact, George relates to what we know we all feel, but are sometimes too uncomfortable to speak of. But that is how he really pulls you in to this story, because his characters are sincere and convincing as being uncertain and a bit frightened, as well.

The setting for the story was perfect, a mysterious old castle, with many secrets holed up within. A cold winter atmosphere that tends to bring people closer together. This tale was actually very historical and interesting, and as such, I was glued to it for two days during any of my down time.

A great deal of emotion actually sparks the passion within this work, and I hope that is never overlooked. I could not pull myself away from this piece due to the value that George places on all of his characters. Every woman can relate to a character in this novel, whether it be Therese or Portia, and every man will love trying to relate to the women in this novel. Therese, the Mother Superior, turned regular woman, craving intimacy from the man she loves, is fantastic. She keeps the novel going because she is so painfully human. If she were a real woman, I would even find myself kneeling at her feet. Mefist is charming and debonair, the kind of man that inspires many a girls imaginations, I'm sure. You truly begin to care for these characters the more you get to know them, and that in itself is worthy of a good read, not to mention the bonuses you get when reading George's work--he always adds a little something extra to keep the audience happy.

While I was reading, I could not help but notice that George is very sensitive to the female perspective, which was very refreshing, as well, to not have a one-sided point of view in the area of love or sex. This was a wonderful read, and I would recommend it to anyone who has a naughty side, even if that may mean one that is secretly tucked away.

Summary: Erotic, but not pornographic
Review: A, story of forbidden pleasure, intrigue, and lust. The author clearly has talent. Mother Theresa must face the fact that the army has taken over the convent. There is no way to make them leave. Forced to either give up her young virgin sisters to the army or have them rape the wives and daughters of the village (whose families might not be so forgiving) she chooses to sacrifice her sisters. The sisters are brought to a sexual awakening, and the fulfillment and joy that sex can bring by the officers of the prince. Theresa faces demons of her own; she alone is responsible for what has happened to her sisters. She must face her growing feelings of sexuality, and her attraction to the prince. The Princes sister seduces her, but the prince himself remains aloof. Her confusion over her sexual awakening and her growing feelings for him, are multiplied by his desire to have her come to him of her own free will. He does not want Theresa for just a playmate he has that in his own sister. He wants Theresa for his own. She must make the choice for he will not have her blame him in the end. An Excellent story, really worth reading.

Summary: The Editor's Comment
Review: Jane Gallion, literary editor and author of 'Biker' and 'Going Down' calls Nuns in Love "the finest thing I have read, combining history, characterization & erotica--believable erotica--in decades. The characters are fine, the plot is excellent, the good guys believable without being insipid, the bad guys abominable without being demonic. The story line gives insight into aspects of the period I had never known before and hardly suspected. Higher praise I don't think I could find for a literary work."

Summary: A Sexy Winter Romance
Review: Nuns in Love is one of those rare books that are doorways to another world. From the moment I started the first paragraph I was swept back in time to a place of passion and suspense. I was in the magnificent castle of Montebello, somewhere in Central Europe. It has been seized by the Imperial Army and they have installed a high-class bordello for Army officers. Beyond the castle walls the dark, snowy forests held mystery and partisans, beauty and danger. In Montebello Eric George has created a unique world with exciting people. The girls who had been nuns so recently and their Mistress Therese, Prince Mefist, his brother officers and his exotic sister Wanda, all stayed with me whenever I put the book down. In fact, Nuns in Love is one of very few books that kept me awake at night.... And when I slept I dreamt of Central Europe in winter.

European history, culture and social beliefs are the backdrop for a extraordinary erotic romance between Therese and the Prince. She is forced to run the bordello but fights to remain a nun at heart. Mefist waits for her and watches as she questions her beliefs. The erotic atmosphere surrounding her and her attraction to the handsome Prince lead her step by step to a different life, a life she had not even dreamt about. Therese is a strong woman fighting her emotions, but Mefist and the beautiful Wanda are lying in wait.

The book took me through an emotional journey of love and war, which triggered my mind and made my body shiver. The story is romantic and sexy. Just get comfortable, turn off the phone, light a candle and get ready for a fantastic erotic tale."
