From the Back Cover

Nothing is more important to Reynard than winning the favours of the bright and wilful Juliet, a pupil at Madame Nicol’s exclusive but strict 18th century ladies’ academy. Her captivating beauty tinged with a hint of cruelty soon has Reynard willing to do anything to win her approval. But Juliet’s methods have little effect on Andreas, the real object of her lustful obsessions. Unable to bend him to her will, she is forced to watch him lavish his manly talents on her fellow pupils. That is, until she agrees to change her spoilt ways. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

This review is from: Juliet Rising (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is my own personal favourite.I loved the idea of a woman gaining empowerment in the days when all her property and riches would be owned by her husband. It's a gorgeous romp and maybe a bit more subtle than some of my other erotic work. Hmm, think that's debateable, really. I think this book has lots of underlying tension and specific imagery. And look out for the scene in the old music room - the table and vase of lilies... just loved writing that scene!Forgive my presumption in giving my book five stars. You can tell me if you agree with me - enjoy!

This review is from: Juliet Rising (Black Lace) (Mass Market Paperback)

I will have to agree with you Cleo Cordell, this book deserves 5 stars. I purchased this book while I was deployed in Turkey and I could not put it down. It was my first Black Lace purchase and by far my favorite. I can still remember my favorite scene (I will not spoil it for you) and it has been around seven years since I read the book. An absolute great find.

This review is from: Juliet Rising (Black Lace) (Paperback)

Set in the eighteenth century, when women were what their husbands allowed them to be, Juliet was a woman whom decided to call the shots. Attending the

Madame Nicol's Academy for young women where she is to learn poise, etiquette and the ways of a noble woman, Juliet learns a lot more than what Madame Nicol's Academy can teach her.

Juliet Rising is highly erotic and entertaining. It opens on a lust and passion filled note that continues throughout the story. Readers looking for a story about female domination, and a woman who knows how to use her feminine wiles, will very much enjoy Juliet Rising. Cleo Cordell is a descriptive writer; she paints vivid pictures of the desire and heat between her characters. Juliet Rising is not a book to be missed for the erotica fans.
