Wicked Wednesday is pretty much self-explanatory.
It's the day for those book reviews of select nommy tales that are so super steamy and erotic, they must come with a warning label. So hang your cloak of virtue on the rack and join me in the debauchery.

Elizabeth Petre is the perfect politician’s
wife. She supports her husband’s climbing career to Prime Minister, she helps
her mother with her father’s job as Prime Minister and she loves her two sons
more than anything. However, she’s lonely. Her husband hasn’t touched her since
she became pregnant with her youngest son and she’s determined to seduce her
husband. But how to go about it when you’re a properly brought up Victorian
wife? By arranging secret lessons with the Bastard Sheikh, Ramiel Devington,
that’s how. She refuses to cheat on her
husband, so Ramiel gives her a book to read and demands that she return each
morning for discussion of each chapter. However, during these intimate sessions,
they become close until it’s nearly impossible to refrain from acting on their
attraction. But when Elizabeth’s life takes a sinister turn, all the things she
thought she knew are torn away from her and she’s left with the raw painful
truth. Will their budding relationship survive a condemning and ruthless ton?
I derive a secret giddy pleasure from historical
erotica. It’s just so very naughty! While this historical romance has erotic
subject matter it’s all just discussion and the reading of the book until much
later when Elizabeth and Ramiel finally give into their attraction. The buildup
is delicious! I really like the characters, even the secondary ones. It’s a tad
wordy for me, but the twists are wonderful even if the drama toward the end is
a bit overdone. Still, this is a book that will tug at your heart as well as
other *ahem* places.
Well, this one certainly sounds good. :D Nice review, Carol.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda! I liked the graphic novel you reviewed. Sounds like a hoot! :D
DeleteI've only read a few historical romances so far and had expected the genre to be pretty mild when it came to sex, but was surprised when that didn't always turn out to be true.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a good book with the long build-up. The plot sounds interesting with how he is teaching her and she ends up falling for him. Great review!
Older ones tend to be more mild. Usually. Not always. :D They've become more steamy in the last decade or so. :)
