Review

4.5 Blue Ribbons: "Inside one of London’s most exclusive clubs several gentlemen gather once a month to visit with one another. As a diversion, Jonas Maxim suggests they each reveal their most daring sexual exploits. After all, they are men and sex is one of their favorite subjects. The Earl of Grayson requests the opportunity to be the first to share his tale...
     Emma Wildes’ Brothers of the Absinthe Club series is off to a brilliant start with this gem of a tale. Arabian Pearl satisfies that wicked fantasy that many women have of being kidnapped and thrust into the life of a harem girl while still retaining a sense of independence and a hope for freedom. I love how Celia changes throughout the storyline - she goes from a shy virgin to a self confident young woman who rejoices in her own sexuality. Robert’s blatant adoration of Celia really endears him to me.
     Arabian Pearl captured my interest from the very first page and held me enthralled right to the end. I can hardly wait to find out which of the other men tells his story of daring sexual exploits in The Bloodstone Affair." —Chrissy Dionne, Romance Junkies

4.5 Stars: "Arabian Pearl is the first book in the Brothers of the Absinthe Club 1 series which promises to be filled with great heroes and heroines as well as sizzling molten lava sex. I enjoyed the story of Robert and Celia who were both put in a situation out of their control. Robert didn't want to harm Celia but if he didn't use her as a pleasure slave she would be lost to the harem forever. Celia realizes giving Robert pleasure for two weeks is a small price to pay for her freedom and she begins to fall in love with him." —Racine, Ecataromance

5.0 out of 5 stars ARABIAN PEARL satisfies that wicked harem fantasy, June 3, 2008
Inside one of London's most exclusive clubs several gentlemen gather once a month to visit with one another. As a diversion, Jonas Maxim suggests they each reveal their most daring sexual exploits. After all, they are men and sex is one of their favorite subjects. The Earl of Grayson requests the opportunity to be the first to share his tale...

Robert St. Claire, Earl of Grayson is stunned with the Sultan's gift of a beautiful slave to see to his carnal needs during his visit. He's not exactly comfortable with this unorthadox practice. To further complicate matters, Robert learns that the woman meant for his pleasure is no ordinary slave girl. She's English and the daughter of a friend. If he has any chance of freeing her, he'll have to avail himself of her many charms and pray that the Sultan will allow him to take her with him when the time comes for him to leave.

Lady Celia Davenport had been the belle of London society. Then she was abducted, sold into slavery, and expected to pleasure a guest of the Sultan's is most overwhelming to her gentle breeding. When she discovers that the man she is to service is English and knows her father, she is great relief. She now has a smidgen of hope of being able to return home but only if she is submissive to Robert's desires and pleases him. Otherwise she may be lost to the harem for the rest of her life.

Each night Celia is brought to Robert's room where they share a bed and indulge their growing passion for each other. Neither of them is able to speak freely because they are watched through carefully constructed peep holes in the wall - in this manner the Sultan can be assured that indeed his guest is pleased with his generosity. If she doesn't please him, she will immediately be punished and replaced.

Fortunately Robert is a very skilled lover and goes out of his way to ensure that Celia enjoys each of their sessions just as much as he does. After their first night together, the Sultan gifts Celia with four perfect pearls - one for each time the esteemed guest found satisfaction inside her body. Over the two weeks that Robert is a guest, his feelings for Celia grow while he worries about the future. Will he be able to successfully rescue her from a lifetime of slavery in the harem? If so, how is he going to explain all this to her father?

Emma Wildes' BROTHERS OF THE ABSINTHE CLUB series is off to a brilliant start with this gem of a tale. ARABIAN PEARL satisfies that wicked fantasy that many women have of being kidnaped and thrust into the life of a harem girl while still retaining a sense of independence and a hope for freedom. I love how Celia changes throughout the storyline - she goes from a shy virgin to a self confident young woman who rejoices in her own sexuality. Robert's blatant adoration of Celia really endears him to me.

ARABIAN PEARL captured my interest from the very first page and held me enthralled right to the end. I couldn't wait to delve into the rest of the groups stories!

5.0 out of 5 stars delightful historical series, June 3, 2008
This review is from: Brothers of the Absinthe Club, Vol. 1 [ Arabian Pearl: The Bloodstone Affair : Initiating Christian ] (Paperback)

ARABIAN PEARL
Emma Wildes' BROTHERS OF THE ABSINTHE CLUB series is off to a brilliant start with this gem of a tale. ARABIAN PEARL satisfies that wicked fantasy that many women have of being kidnaped and thrust into the life of a harem girl while still retaining a sense of independence and a hope for freedom. I love how Celia changes throughout the storyline - she goes from a shy virgin to a self confident young woman who rejoices in her own sexuality. Robert's blatant adoration of Celia really endears him to me.

THE BLOODSTONE AFFAIR
THE BLOODSTONE AFFAIR is the second book in Emma Wildes' BROTHERS OF THE ABSINTHE CLUB series. Right from the start I was intrigued by the characters and fascinated by the history of the various ghosts of Bloodstone Manor. Each scene adds a new level of tension and excitement that had me enthralled in the storyline and anticipating what would happen next. The lovers who are using Gavin and Carlotta to reunite will touch readers' hearts almost as much as their hosts budding romance.

INITIATING CHRISTIAN
Emma Wildes concludes her BROTHERS OF THE ABSINTHE CLUB with this truly sweet tale. INITIATING CHRISTIAN isn't the `walk down memory lane' that the other stories of this series were but that certainly doesn't detract from it at all. I found great amusement in the characters' secretive maneuvering and the emotional turmoil caused by the whole situation. This book is infused with humor and even a bit of suspense as you wonder if Christian and Lauren ever make their relationship public and how long will it take for Adam's wife Susan to learn the truth about what's really going on between her husband and his ex-lover.

NOTE: this review is a condensed version of the reviews I did for each individual stories as they appear on Romance Junkies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy new historical romance series, February 6, 2008
This review is from: Brothers of the Absinthe Club, Vol. 1 [ Arabian Pearl: The Bloodstone Affair : Initiating Christian ] (Paperback)
Emma Wildes has created a sexy new historical romance series not to be missed!

The Brothers of the Absinthe Club is a marvelous series whereby each of the members of the private club is asked to tell the story of their most daring sexual exploits.

Arabian Pearl begins the first story with the Earl of Grayson who finds an English beauty, Celia Davenport, in desperate need of a rescue on his travels in the East.

The Bloodstone Affair has ghost hunter, Gavin St. John telling the chilling tale the haunting at Bloodstone Manner where he encounters the divinely beautiful Carlotta Stone.

Initiating Christian has Christian Foster finally able to express his long-held silent love for Lauren DeSerre in a liaison where both of them will learn something.

Very diverse stories, yet each one has the signature Emma Wildes sexy, satisfying storytelling applied.
Bravo!
