What She Craves

I loved Lust's Vow and Checkmate,but The Taking was a big miss with me. I would buy the book just for the first two stories. Lucy Danes does know how to write a really good erotic story, and give you a story with substance and erotica, not just throw sex scenes at you.

Lacy Danes gives us a naughty look into the past, where women dare to be tamed by the men of their dreams. Ms. Danes seamlessly weaves in all manner of wicked delights, such as menage and bdsm, to enhance her story. And unlike many similar books in this genre, there IS a wonderful story. With courtesans and orgies, a hero who's more than human, and ladies who shed their inhibitions. The best part about What She Craves is the intense historical FEEL of the story. Ms. Danes nails her time period and her character's genuine need to find a place--and person--where they belong. A personal favorite was Hannah from Lust's Vow. A delightfully wicked tale. Highly recommended!

In a market flooded with erotic romance meant to titillate sometimes the story can get lost. Not with Ms. Danes What She Craves! Three unique, well-written, imaginative works will leave you craving more! My favorite was Night of the Taken. Ms. Dane weaves a tight tale allows the reader to live the story along with her well thought out and complex characters! I'm definitely a fan!

"Lust's Vow". In 1815 England, Hannah Rosworth's late husband insisted she was to sexually inexperienced so the widow attends an orgy to see what he meant. There she meets rakish Kenneth Walker, who sees the passion that he plans to release in her. "Checkmate". By 1818, Cora Durand is tired of being London's most popular courtesan caring for the tastes of her customers, but not her own. She thinks she has found the lover to satisfy her craving, but Rupert Roland has his own carnal fantasy. "Night of the Taking". At the Full Moon Festival of Catus on the Isle of Skyas, selected virgins participate in an erotic ritual. In the 1802 gala, Jessica is a chosen one by the green-eyed hunk, who believes she is his goddess of love. These three torrid Regency romances are exciting tales that readers will enjoy, but this is not mom's historical as bondage, orgies, and ménage de trois are intimately interwoven parts of the novellas.
