Delighted

Having enjoyed Captivated & Fascinated, I was interested to read Delighted with 2 new authors. As usual, Bertrice Small and Susan Johnson did not disappoint. I can't say the same for Nikki Donovan. Enchanted basically reads as a disjointed, flat, Beauty and the Beast with sex. Very uninspiring, almost didn't finish reading it. With His Promise by Liz Madison, on the other hand, is engaging within the first 2 pages. Her story line is well developed, the characters have depth & personality and her descriptive writing flows so well it pulls you in immediately. The sexual innocence and erotic build up is extremely hot and is coupled with a believeable love story and likeable protagonists which makes the sex even hotter. You don't want to miss this one. Great prelude to your own delights!

Was much better than her last novel Again and Again. The hero and heroine were much more likeable in this story and I actually found myself rooting for the hero to win his lady. It was refreshing to see Prince Radovsky stay faithful to Lulu even after the two part ways. In other Johnson books, the hero most likely goes out and has marathon sex with any willing female when there is a crisis which I find somewhat distateful and unnecessary. I loved the ending and will more than likely re read this fabulous, erotic and romantic story.

"The Awakening" by Beatrice Small. In 1793 Renee trades her virginity to save the life of her infant niece Marguerite. After the Terror ends, Renee establishes a brothel, but keeps Marguerite away until years later when her niece is forced to become one of her girls. Beau buys solo use of Marguerite for the next few months. Instead of sex, he courts her as best as one can in a brothel. "Out of the Storm" by Susan Johnson. In 1894, Lulu enters a shack followed by a stranger William. She tells him her name is Sarah. They share an evening of lovemaking. Two weeks later, William, who is Russian Prince Mikhail, visits Lady Darlington who is his "Sarah". "Enchanted" by Nikki Donovan. The knight abducts Esmay and takes her to the Beast Alexander who wears a mask to hide his disfigured visage. Alexander has seen Esmay and wants her, but also prays that she fall in love with him in spite of his monstrous face in order to lift the curse that ruined his face. "With His Promise" by Liz Madison. Port's army besieges Victoria's castle until Stephen arrives with help. Stephen offers marriage to Victoria that will enable them to combine forces and stop the powerful Port. Victoria fears the loss of her independence. Though F is an overused word as if the authors vied to see who could apply that profanity to their writing the most times, each tale is a well written erotica romance. None of the stories provide deep characters, but fans of erotica tales will find each contribution delectable.Harriet Klausner

i'm very delighted with this book. it's very exotic and it's also very sexy, a warning to people who don't like exotic reading stay away from this one but for the rest it is a must read.

I read this book in 1 day! All of the stories were rivating as well as sensous! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoy erotica! I also recommend "Captivated!"
