With an unconventional upbringing and a reputation as a shameless flirt, Lisette Delornay-Ross is not your typical young lady of the ton. Unlike her peers, she is not afraid to follow her desires. And what she desires is Major Lord Gabriel Swanfield. . .
Returned to England after his harrowing ordeal as a war prisoner, Gabriel has shunned society. When Lisette brazenly confronts him, he feels an overwhelming stirring of lust. He's sure she would never entertain the illicit desires he indulges at Madame Helene's. But when he kisses her, he discovers her thirst for pleasure--and adventure--matches his. . .
Finally the 6th of the series!
You cannot imagine how I am so relived that I am about to finish this series.
I'm not much of an erotic reader but to say that though this series is highly unusual to appeal my taste - it did. Surprisingly. I don't know why this did. The series contains m/m/f, anal, m/m, BDSM, etc.,. Not for the faint heart. I'm not into this kinds of books. I love romance. I love love stories. Not sadomasochism. But probably I'm a masochist myself (only in terms of reading!) so I take pleasure reading books that will torture me.
So what I have to say about this book: First, I am surprised to say that in the House of Pleasure series this book is the tamest of them all. Second, there are less m/m/f action and the hero is not incredibly hungry towards sex. Unlike the previous book wherein the heroes are REALLY into sex.
Anyway, Gabriel and Lisette stands second to my favorite couple in this series just because they want their relationship just just between them. Thank God. I think I had enough of the menage a trois. hahaha!
I think the book was a little dragging because I got a little annoyed with their behaviors. But then it could be be looked over. I love that this book made me feel I am reading my usual historical-romance, the hero has a tortured past while the heroine has a strong personality. Also, the story does not only revolve around sex but you'll read how they developed their relationship as a couple. Lastly, their conflicts in their past has more depth.
You might enjoy reading this if you are not squeamish because there are scenes that MIGHT cause you to cringe ~ mostly in the sex scenes. But hey this is an erotica book what do you expect?
All in all the book was good. You'd like it if you are an erotica/historical romance reader.
Rating: 3/5
