About this listen

An eye for an eye, a sin for a sin... The Pleasure Wars, Book 1

Amid all the lies and scandals that fuel Society's gossip mill, one truth has stood out: House Rothcastle and House Windbury have always hated each other. Lady Ava Windbury prays the feud will someday end, to no avail. One dreadful night, her brother accidentally causes the death of Christian Rothcastle's sister, a tragedy that leaves both men maimed.

Consumed by grief, Christian makes a grim decision. He will kidnap Lady Ava so that her family will feel the pain of loss as keenly as he feels the loss of his own sister. But once he has Ava in his clutches, desire takes unexpected hold. Even more surprising, she willingly surrenders to his every sexual whim - after haggling over the terms of giving up her virginity.

Too late, he realizes she is using her body for peace, not war. But just as their affair of revenges turns into an affair of the heart, the past rears its ugly head to take matters into its own hands...

Warning: This audiobook contains scenes of erotic seduction, sexual revenge and the healing power of love.

Barely any story on top of too fantastic spice.

I am not entirely against stories not pretending to focus on anything except the bedroom activities, nor even against those where the chasing hero miraculously awakes his untouched prey to bring them both the ultimate pleasures in every attempted contact, but this one went a bit too far for my taste. If she is so sensitive to a brief touch of presumably unfriendly stranger, how did she manage through several seasons of balls and other social events without even noticing any hint of physical arousal? The lack of any tension between the central couple and the poor backstory made this book flat and quite boring compared to the others available among the genre.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
