Possession of Celia

Rating:
Summary: Sweet, cute, sexy book
Review: I have not yet read "The Captivity of Celia" but I just plunged in with "The Possession," and it was great. There are lots of flashbacks to the time of "The Captivity" so I didn't feel lost. The plot is really great--I just love stories of sexual initiation and awakening--and the sex scenes are hot, delicate, imaginative, and detailed. The author creates a whole world that I find it hard to get out of my mind. The idyllic, yet perverse, atmosphere of the villa in Provence has just the right balance of ecstatic pleasure with a seasoning of purely psychological cruelty. This is the first book by this author that I've read, but I'll definitely be back for more.

Summary: Insatiable sequel!
Review: The Captivity of Celia was a wonderful, delectable surprise and I looked forward to reading the sequel. The Possession of Celia picks up right where Captivity left off. Celia has finally been freed from her sexual obligations -- Sir Jason Hardwicke has decided to let Celia and Colin go free. But Celia cannot forget the erotic encounters she'd had with Sir Jason. So, just when you think things are over between Celia and Sir Jason, a new twist comes along, and the erotica sizzles even more than the first time. But how does Celia feel about the two men in her life? Who will possess Celia? There are various twists throughout the novel.

The scenes in this installment are hotter than the first. Sir Jason Hardwicke is such a dark, delicious character. I couldn't get enough of reading about him. Also, I love the backdrop of the French countryside. The setting makes the novel all the more interesting. But the thing I like the most is that there is a compelling plot along with the erotica. This is classic erotica you cannot miss. M.S. Valentine has become one of my favorite erotic authors. I recommend The Possession of Celia, but you'll have to read The Captivity of Celia first.

Summary: Valentine has once again excelled in writing classy erotica!
Review: The Possession of Celia is a worthy successor to The Captivity of Celia. Sir Jason, Colin and the delicious Celia have moved on to the French countryside, where Sir Jason - as a form of revenge, does his best to expand Celia's erotic horizons. And what revenge! Celia excels in her new role, finding the delights of her own gender nearly as pleasureable as the delights she shared with Sir Jason and Colin. But just when you begin to think that she has at last found her paradise, a mysterious stranger arrives on the scene, changing the dynamic of the Hardwicke household.
