5.0 out of 5 stars
Certainly a beautifull piece of classic erotic lit, September 13, 2001
This review is from: Hardcastle (Blue Moon) (Paperback)
This Blue Moon book, published in 1991, is certainly a classic in every sense of the word for erotic Victorian literature.
The story deals with Astrid, the young, beautifull and petulant daughter of a British member of parliament, who is sent to visit Lady Julia Tingle (don't ya just love the names) at her estate in the countryside, Hardcastle. In a letter of introduction from her mother to Julia, the mistress of Hardcastle is asked to take Astrid under her wing and teach her about the finer things in life the same way that she(Astrid's mom) was taught when she was young and willfull.
The lessons to be taught concern the classic Victorian specialties of subduing and controlling the males of the family with all sexual and sensual tools at their disposal, while at the same time consider it a sport of sexual intrigue to make all others around, you succumb to the basest and, most delicious desires of the flesh.
I absolutely love these kinds of books since although there is some domination and discipline, it is so gentle that it does not fall into the trap of being the more common 'whip me - beat me' type of book ..... A pleasant surprise considering some of the more recent published eortic stories that I have read ....
