Product Description

It is an evening for rakes and rogues, courtesans and demimondes, and lords and ladies in disguise, all wishing to sample the array of erotic delights around them. But this ball is not the talk of the ton, it is a taste of forbidden ecstasy...Lilly had never dreamed that hiding in her brother's carriage would end in her arrival at a ball such as this. She should be shocked by the bawdy behaviour before her, but instead she is intrigued. And when Vincent St. Jerome, London's foremost rake, offers to help her find her brother, she follows him to a room filled with peep holes in the walls. What Lilly sees is pure carnal pleasure and all she desires is complete sexual surrender...Lady Wentland is a worldly widow who misses the sensual delights she used to share with her husband. So attending the Cyprian's Ball disguised as a courtesan allows her to sample the erotic pleasures she's missed - until she meets Winston Greyton, her brother's best friend and the one man she knows she might have once loved. She resists his first advances toward her - but the heat of their arousal soon ignites a fire of wicked, reckless passion...

5.0 out of 5 stars Being Wicked, May 9, 2009

By	M. Nix "Joyfully Reviewed" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not willing to believe what is being said about her brother Lily devises a plan to find out for herself what's going on in her brother's life. Stowing away in her brother's carriage as he leaves for the evening she finds herself at the Cyprian Ball, a ball unlike any she has ever known. There she loses her brother and encounter society's foremost womanizing rake Vincent St. Jerome.

Grace was on the opposite end of the spectrum from Lily. Grace was a widow who's husband took pleasure in watching her have sex with other men, but even with her experience, Grace was nervous about attending an affair such as this for the first time without her husband. When she encountered Winston, her brother's best friend since childhood, she's drawn to him and knows he's the dominant her submissive side craves.

This is a hot and tantalizingly sexy story of two women exploring within themselves and reaching out for what they want. Lily and Grace were on different levels when it came to their sexual experiences but both women were willing to explore the yearnings inside them that some would deem very unlady like. I really enjoyed Grace and Winston's story because even though Grace was once married she never felt what Winston made her feel. I also love that he was the man she always wanted and it was as if her life was coming full circle. Being Wicked was packed with great characters that were very easy to care about and a storyline that was a lot of fun to read. Being Wicked was a great way to spend a couple of hours.

4.0 out of 5 stars two heated erotic romances , January 30, 2009

By	Harriet Klausner - See all my reviews (#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

"Willful Surrender". Her plan seemed simple when she hid in her brother's carriage to find him at a gala and prove his innocence. However, Lily never expected to end up at the Cyprian's Ball where she meets notorious rake Vincent, who wants her with a craving she shares.

"Willing Seduction". The Widow Grace returns to the house where her fondest sexual memories of her late husband occurred. At the Cyprian's Ball, she disguises herself as a courtesan hoping to taste some of what she lost when her spouse died. However, she never expected Winston, her brother's best friend to be there; Winston the star of her fantasies whom she plans to seduce into sexual nirvana this time.

These two heated erotic romances star likable lead characters finding perfect sex partners at a Regency Cyprian Ball. Although, the two novellas lack a sense of time, fans who relish their romances equatorial hot will appreciate the lead couples BEING WICKED.
