Summary

"Lord Marldon took Clarissa's hand and kissed it. She knew at once this man would be her master and tormentor. While the thought filled her with dread, an unfathomable desire, deep and fierce, twisted like a knife within her."

It's 1875, and the morals of Queen Victoria mean nothing to London's wayward and debauched elite. Young but naïve Clarissa Longleigh is visiting London for the first time. She is eager to meet Lord Marldon, the man to whom she's been promised, knowing only that he's handsome, dark, and sophisticated. In fact, he is depraved, louche, and has a taste for sexual excess.

Clarissa has also struck up a friendship with a young Italian artist, Gabriel. When Marldon hears of this, he is incensed, and imprisons Clarissa in his opulent London mansion. When Gabriel tries to free her, he too is captured, and the young lovers find themselves at the mercy of the debauched lord.

Critic reviews

"An edgy, decadent affair full of intrigue, with lots of down'n'dirty and decidedly kinky sex." (Desire)

Hmmm...

I'm a bit of a generalist reader and by adding the odd bit of erotica to my repertoire I like to think my mind is always kept broad and open. I?m also a fan of the very straightforward erotica that Black Lace seems to manage so well so I thought I?d give someone else a try.

This is a notch up from the Black Lace books in terms of kinkyness and erotic language and I got the impression this book is an attempt to take erotica more up-market in the literary sense, but sadly it didn?t work for me. It started out really very promisingly and I thought it was going to deliver the goods; captive falling for nasty captor was quite inspired and it was certainly very kinky, I found myself having the odd sharp intake of breath in a few places! However, I don?t think the author did enough homework and the subject (captive falling for captor), could have been handled better. It seemed to lose its momentum half way through and key characters disappeared. I was left feeling like the author hadn?t really thought through the ending properly, which was a shame as I was looking forward to the clever middle and end to match the clever beginning.
