Rating:  Summary: I really didn't find this very erotic. Review: First off - I must say I Love Katherine Greyle (Jade Lee)! I was really looking forward to this book since I do love the more erotic writing of Cheryl Holt, Emma Holly, and Nicole Jordan. And the premise of this book would really make you think that it was going to be steamy! Wrong! The first thing that drove me nuts was that the Viscount states he had once been in debtors prison. During the regency period a peer of the realm could not be thrown in debtors prison. Another thing - the viscount began to sell girls to old men for marriage to get money for his entailed home. It didn't sound like to me he would have had such a bad reputation had he not started peddling flesh. I'm sure he could have found a rich banker's daughter to marry instead of selling young women. I thought the book would be filled with erotic scenes from the start - but no! There really was only one erotic scene towards the end of the book. I didn't think that he taught Lynette anything more than she could have taught herself - in fact it sounded like he taught Audra and the other girls much more. It also sounded like he loved all the Marlock girls - I really didn't think he had any real chemistry with Lynette. I actually don't think Lynette had any real chemistry with him either - she was ready to marry another man when he twisted her boob and played with her hand - actually that was more erotic at that moment then anything the viscount did to her. Another thing that threw me off was the mention that Lynette had a chipped front tooth. In my mind I imagined a giant chip out of the tooth and could no longer think of her as attractive. I also was ready to throw the book across the room after the 100th time that she mentioned that Lynette was a minister's daughter! The main reason Lynette was searching for a rich husband was to get her brother a commission and her sister a season. At the end she stays with the Viscount who although his debts are paid will obviously not have the money to pay for a season for her sister or a commission for the brother. I think that the book could have been much better if there was an epilogue at the end that showed the couple living happily in the future. I just don't get the feeling that this couple would make it through the test of time.
Rating:  Summary: Hot! Hot! Hot! Review: Watch out! Another Sizzle coming your way! Very Good! And I'll look forward to reading more of this author!
Rating:  Summary: exciting erotic romance Review: With the death of her father, a poor country parson, Lynette knows her impoverished family is in deep trouble. The Earl of Songshire visits Lynette suggesting a way out of destitution for her and her family. He gives her the address of Baroness Huntley, who runs a thriving business arranging marriages to wealthy elderly aristocrats.A desperate Lynette meets with the Baroness, who takes her on as a client and assigns her to her notorious nephew Viscount Adrian Grant to prepare her for her "mature" spouse in a marriage that should not last more than a decade. Adrian trains his latest pupil in how to behave as a willing biddable bride, but the intelligent Lynette keeps shocking him with her curiosity and her questions unlike his previous students. As he teaches her how to excite a man, even an old one, he finds the kisses and caresses and more stimulate him as no one has ever done before. Adrian suddenly knows he has a heart and that organ (and another) belongs to his pupil who has taught him to love. This exciting erotic romance will heat up fans of Regency tales as the tyro Lynette teaches the professor Adrian the difference between sex and making love. The story line focuses on the debate between these two protagonists as the innocent Lynette believes love and that her sex mentor deep in his soul wants someone to simply love him while Adrian insists it is all about lust as love does not exist. Readers will appreciate the hands on philosophical debate that Jade Lee presents her audience. Harriet Klausner
