Review
"Four and 1/2 Hearts! While much of this story is filled with hilarious comedy, it is very intense as well. The sizzling chemistry between Bronson and Alex is there from the beginning, even before he realizes she-s a woman. It builds to a heated frenzy until Bronson takes what he wants. He is an aggressive hero, but Alex is strong enough to handle him. I hope Ms. Keaton plans on giving some of her wonderful secondary characters stories of their own. I-m sure they would be just as entertaining as this fabulous medieval romance." The Romance Studio
"BEGUILED is a non-stop adventure of love, laughter, and stubborn pride. To say that the chemistry between Bronson and Alex is explosive is the understatement of the century! The secondary characters add to the humor and spark of this wonderful tale, and readers can only hope that Ms. Keaton will give the other Blackmore brothers their own stories, for they are promising alpha males as well. If you are seeking a book that will leave you breathless and longing for the perfect hero, look no further. BEGUILED will not disappoint!" Edith Morrison, Romance Reviews Today
"Four/Five Stars and HOT! Beguiled is a lighthearted, amusing read with humor strewn throughout the book. Bronson is a powerful, primitive hero, determined to keep Alex for himself. I was surprised at the first sex scene, as it was not the vanilla beginning between Alex and Bronson I'd expected. The writing of the love scenes was so well done, I could almost feel how badly Alex wanted to be touched in a certain way. I'd love to see Ms. Keaton write another book based on one of the secondary characters." Just Erotic Romance Reviews

Unique historical erotica...,
This review is from: Beguiled (Paperback)
This historical romantic erotica set in Medieval Scotland is different in tone and content than most erotic romances out there. The tone and narrative in this New Concepts Publishing novel is darker, more explicit and graphic than the stuff you'd read in romanticas published by Berkley, Brava, even Ellora's Cave. And that is quite a refreshing change of pace. Beguiled is one scorching novel not for the faint of heart. Lady Alexandra disguises herself as a young man and escapes her castle in Scotland, fleeing from an arranged marriage. She rescues a damsel in distress while en route to her cousins' home. And that is what changes her life. The damsel in question is Lady Constance Blackmore and her four enormous brothers decide to keep Lord Alex imprisoned in their castle, afraid that the boy may be a spy for the McPhersons, which happen to be her cousins. All of the Blackmores are wary of Alex, especially Lord Bronson, who thinks that Alex may be after his sister. When he discovers that Alex is a woman, he is overwhelmed with desire and begins a unique and delectable game of seduction that will scorch the reader. There are some twists throughout the novel.
New Concepts Publishing is an erotic e-publisher, which is why I am not surprised that the book is only 212 pages long. However, I enjoyed this novella (too short to be a novel). The sexual tension between Bronson and Alex is amazing. I couldn't wait for those two to hit the sack. Their initial sexual encounter is quite shocking. As said earlier, the content of this novel is not for the faint of heart. Alex maintained her guise as a male almost throughout the entire book and Bronson seduced her as he would a male despite knowing that Alex is a she. I found the seduction quite different from typical romanticas out there. Bronson is scrumptious -- an alpha male through and through. The author keeps you guessing on whether his feelings for her are loving or sexual ones all the way to the end. And the ending has a pleasant surprise. My only complaints are that the secondary characters are underdeveloped and that the pace of the story changes in an abrupt way. At first, the novel has a leisure pace and the seduction and sexual tension are prolonged in a smolderingly enticing way. Then the story in the last forty or so pages of the book seems rushed. I wish the novel had been longer. All in all, I enjoyed Beguiled very much and this won't be the only NCP book I will read. I recommend it if you're in the bargain for a quick, erotic read.

Beguiled beyond reason, tempted to the forbidden, Bronson knows of but one way to delve her secrets.... Rating: Contains graphic explicit sex and language; some instances of sexual content which could be offensive to delicate readers; and a sexually aggressive hero. That's the book's description on the back cover. When you just read this description, this books doesn't seem very unusual. What makes it so is the unusual mixture of humour with a rather dark sensuality (the hero is very dominant in general, and at first he tries to keep up Alexandra's disguise as a boy and takes her like one as a result). So if you're into politically correct romances and nice sex, this is definitely not your book. But if you like your hero a little darker and dominant, this book is very entertaining and erotic. I found it a pleasure to read and look forward to more books by this author.

Smart, engaging read...,

This review is from: Beguiled (Paperback)
In 1540, Lady Alexandra Montague is running away to her cousins the McPhersons in Scotland, when she unwittingly saves damsel in distress, Lady Constance Blackmore. Problem is, for safety's sake, Alex is dressed as a man, moustache and all. As thanks, the infatuated young lady takes the reluctant 'Lord' to her father's house, where adventures in mistaken identity ensue. When Lord Brandon, Constance's brother, discovers Alex is a woman, he becomes obsessed with the idea of seducing her. However, he worries she may be a spy sent by the McPhersons. He will stop at nothing in order to discover what her true intentions are, and the best way get the answers he requires is to ignite her lust with his own.
I loved this book! I read the whole thing in one night. The story is just fun, fun, fun! Julia Keaton's characters are smart and charismatic. It is very refreshing to encounter a spunky heroine who knows what she wants and goes after it, and although slightly misguided, isn't a completely irrational ditz. The main male character is devestatingly sexy, in a take-charge, alpha kind of way. The secondary characters just add to the fun. The are many luscious, erotic scenes, including some not for the faint-hearted. I found they were very well executed, and remained very hot, considering certain pivotal plot elements. This is indeed erotica - keep this in mind if you've only ever read regular romance novels before. 'Beguiled' is a story that doesn't take itself seriously, remains consistent throughout, and where the writing flows in a delightfully straightforward manner. I especially enjoyed the way the dialogues were written, using the parlance of the times, i.e. aye, nay, 'tis, "I must needs be on my way." This could have seemed contrived, but the author manages to make it all feel natural. I'll be looking for Julia Keaton's 'Lady of Sorrow' and upcoming 'Stranger in my Bed', as well as any of her future novels.
