Veronica

Genre: BDSM Historical
Length: Novel

Public scandal and private tragedy force sexually curious Veronica Cooper into an unwanted marriage with Talbot Bowdoin, an urbane and isolated gentleman about whom she knows nothing.

Talbot insists that it’s kept that way. Though the eccentric publisher fell in love with the “free-love” author at first word and would give her the world gladly, fearing societal repercussions, he withholds the truth about himself. A voyeur of the first water, a bisexual by experience and a romantic by nature, he is more comfortable with his steam-powered automatons than he is with people, and so he keeps anyone with a beating heart at arm’s length.

Not Veronica. Her heart pounds...with lust...and she refuses to tolerate her standoffish husband’s conjugal neglect.

To satisfy his beautiful...and assertive...bride, Talbot touches another human being for the first time in years and allows her the sexual freedom she craves, including dressing in male attire as well as exposing her to steam-powered toys...and the gazes of other men.

Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Anal play/intercourse, BDSM theme and elements (domination/submission, spanking) dubious consent, exhibitionism, voyeurism.

When the man who was her erotic tutor tries to blackmail her father, he leaps at the offer presented for his daughte

THE ETHIOPIAN: His early years in Ireland spent in shackles as a brothel slave, forced to perform perverse carnal acts on demand, Amaurus the Moor now craves the delights of dark carnality. His particular specialty is provoking climax in a partner by dispensing pain in equal portions to pleasure. A woman crying out in tethered bondage, her every orifice filled, her greedy buttocks raised to the whip’s sharp kiss comprise both his skill and his inclination. His unwillingness to inflict his unnatural predilections on a wedded wife condemns him to the solitary life of a nomadic mercenary. No home. No begotten children. Definitely no innocent virgins...
 
Then he’s seduced by a fair maiden whose illicit passions match his own.
 
THE WITCH: Disenchanted with her many spell-casting screw-ups, the Council of Immortals strip Treasa of her magical powers and erase her memory. However, the gods and goddesses are not without mercy. In their infinite wisdom, they give the shallow and vain virgin a second chance, a quest to redeem herself. To accomplish the feat, Treasa must employ her vast store of womanly wiles on Amaurus the Moor...
 
...while disguised as a lad, hampered by amnesia, and without knowing the simple quest was a complicated ruse all along.

Genre(s): Paranormal Romance, Erotic Romance, BDSM
In 9th-century Ireland, a feisty young witch named Treasa and Amaurus, an Ethiopian mercenary, make an odd couple in this tale of multiple deceptions and mistaken identities. Author Louisa Trent does her usual outstanding job of immersing her historical characters firmly in their time and place and weaving a complex tale. Amaurus is the mercenary with the heart of gold and strong moral ethic despite his back

Icon

Genre: BDSM Historical Paranormal

Length: Novel

In an age of brutality, a Scottish clan imprisons Noci behind the bars of an animal cage. Only one man can save her now--

Taracut "the Gelded", the unfeeling overlord of Northumbria. The fierce warrior draws breath only to serve his king, and his impenetrable heart beats only for duty.

Although a vision warns Noci that Taracut is numb to all emotion, even lust, she offers the overlord the use--and abuse--of her naked and chained body in exchange for her freedom. The bargain: satisfy Taracut's dark urges, all his depraved desires, and she will live; fail to submit to him, and the self-righteous bastard will condemn her to a fiery death at the pyre.

A sweet kiss seals the bargain, and so the bitter battle for the overlord's soul begins. Tricking him with games of seduction, teasing him with a purring acquiescence to his every punishing demand, tempting him with wanton acts of perversion, Noci introduces the warrior to the full spectrum of feelings, from passion to...betrayal.

And when her treachery is discovered, the enraged Taracut exacts a terrible retribution for her deception. The fierce warrior will force Noci--his sweet pet, his enthusiastic whore, his secret obsession--to crave him as much as he craves her.

In 936 England, Taracut nicknamed "the Gelded" ruled a fortress in Northumbria under King Athelstan. Taracut wasn't really unaffected by women and sex -it was just that no one and nothing really turned him on. He entertained any who would venture in to try to please him, until one day the Scots were said waiting to lay siege to his land. He was being blamed for stealing the Icon and the Scots wanted it bac

Genre(s): Erotic Romance
Icon was entertaining in of itself, in fact the delivery could be said to be comic. However, I was highly distracted by the amount of adverbs, adjectives, and the sheer overwhelming amount of over-writing there was. If one were to take this as some sort of epic poem - not that impossible considering the extremely short paragraphs - then it might have gone over better. As it was, I found it entertaining, but i

Courtesan

Genre: BSDM; historical

New York 1883

With her deceased father's creditors pounding at the door, starvation imminent, and nothing left to lose, eighteen-year old Sarah Winslow signs a note to excuse her indebtedness. Little does she suspect that she's just sold herself into an exclusive brothel, her ruination orchestrated by Sebastian Turner, a wealthy gentleman who has bought and paid for her virginal innocence for reasons all his own.

For eighteen long years, Seb has methodically plotted to destroy the Winslow name. And he succeeds. He now owns all of Michael Winslow's possessions, including his lovely daughter, Sarah. Seb has everything he ever wanted.

Only now that he does, it's not enough. He wants more...from Sarah. His needs know no bounds but those of pleasure--a rawhide lasso and gold bondage bracelets--when it comes to the prim and proper lady he has made his Courtesan.

Genre(s): Erotic Romance
This is the first book that I have ever read by Louisa Trent but I have to say this is one of the better Erotica novels I have picked up in a long time. (Although it does contain some content that may offend some readers. I.E. Bondage and anal sex.) This is a book that while it does have many emotional twists and turns and moral complications for the characters (you will see what I mean if you read a bit furt

Hip avant-garde artist, Blue Heron, meets ultra-conservative businessman, Lou Franco, in a pickup line at a trendy vegetarian restaurant and quickly convinces him to participate in a weekend of anything-goes sex. But Blue's walk on the wild side hits a snag with the soft-spoken and highly controlled Lou.

Lou wonders if an uptight sort like him is ready for kink, but one look at the gender-bender Blue confirms he's way ready for any challenge she throws his way. Including, but not limited to, bondage and threesomes...and oh yeah, maybe even love.

The Acquisition

Genre: BDSM Multicultural Historical

Length: Novel Plus

New Bedford, Massachusetts. The year 1844.

When brothels and taverns lined the seaport's cobblestone streets, and brawny seamen transacted business with bawdy wenches between the bed linens before the start of long whaling voyages, an honorable gentleman of indeterminate background lusts after a female servant of questionable repute....

Captain Joshua Kane made his fortune on the high seas. While working his way up from cabin boy to wealthy ship-owner, he developed a taste for exotic artifacts from far-off places. Recently, he added a new object d'art to his collection: a fiery redheaded whore-thief from the wharves.

Harriett Clark is easily Josh's most beautiful possession and his most frustrating acquisition, for the lusty conniver agrees to trade her wanton body to escape a locked jail cell, but stubbornly refuses to barter the key to her heart.

Publisher's Note: The Acquisition is a revised and re-edited version of a previous book by the same name. This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: BDSM/spanking, exhibitionism.
