The Seductress begins a trilogy about the sexy adventures of the heroine, Emma. It all begins in this book when, after several years of blissfully happy marriage, she finds out she is barren and unable to give her husband the all important heir. He betrays her trust and love by devising a plan to secure a child with another woman! She just can't live with his scheme (and who can blame her?) and picks up the pieces of her shattered heart and begins a new life for herself. She's determined to live life to it's fullest and, knowing she will never be able to have children, she seeks out and takes advantage and great pleasure in all of the sensual adventures that come her way.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The historical setting of the story made it all the more enjoyable and forbidden. The heroine is a realistic and strong character who goes after who she wants with a vengeance. She's not always likable and does some wicked things but under it all I felt she had a good heart. She seemed to prefer schooling young inexperienced males and females in the arts of love but does eventually meet her match in the form of a mysterious man who follows her on her travels and drives her wild each time their paths cross. There's nothing that I found overly kinky in this book. There are plenty of m/f, f/f, and group sex scenes. And all were written with a very sensual touch.

This book could actually be listed as a very spicy romance novel rather than a Black Lace erotica book.


In this story we follow our heroine, Emma, in the late 1800's as she travels Europe in search of adventure and mischief. Learning that she is barren, Emma takes it upon herself to leave her husband and then basically take a deep seated revenge on any young man that crosses her path by being the first 'woman' to seduce them. The un-erotic part of this book for myself is that many of these 'young' men are well into their 20's ..... in my mind thats not really seducing young men but rather doing them a favour ...


The book is well written and the characters well defined, but in the hot sizzling sex department that I would expect from Black Lace it fizzles rather than sizzles ...
