So, what should we expect from erotic fiction? Definately something like this!
The setting is England in the times of the french revolution (one of cartoonist Gothas favorite settings), but the "mood" is - at least to some extent - victorian. We meet a world where men are dominant, cynical, arrogant and seeking only their own pleasure in their encounters with the opposite sex. The women are obediant playthings, willing to be used for any - and i mean ANY - kind of sexual game at the snap of male fingers. They also engage - erotica correctly - in concensual and non-concensual lesbian sex in between the battles.
Behind there is a fairly well written story, and characters that could be developed better, but certainly also poorer.
I liked it as a good porn story, with some build-up, a lot of sex scenes and a tuch of D/s, though not intended. But this sex is not for the feminists!

Not my kind of thing., July 23, 2001

This review is from: Purity (Nexus) (Mass Market Paperback)
This historical 'erotica' novel features poorly described (and somewhat emotionless) sex. Even worst is the main female character's attachment to watersports, which grossed me out and kept me from finishing the book (which wasn't particularly interesting to begin with). I doubt very seriously that I will be reading anything else by this author. Skip it.
