I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. In the quest to complete challenges, I chose this book for my menage category. It was a little dirty, though frankly not too dirty and light. There was an attempt at a plot to keep the book moving along and the sex scenes actually stayed quite fresh. Considering this was erotica, I think that can be an impressive feat. My usual issues with erotica exist. I don't understand the relationship between the two men. I understand Sophia's attraction to them, sure, seductive and powerful. How are they best friends though? Why? What benefit does this relationship have to Huxley & why can he afford to forego heirs? (And frankly, the historical aspect of this had very little to do with the book|) My usual issues with menage exist. I have trouble understanding the dynamic and why it works well for the three of them. Yes, Huxley was sweeter, and yes, Stone was more wicked... All in all, an entertaining enough read about a "lusty virgin" and the two dukes who show her ecstasy. (Note also, this was a novella.) I read a copy of this book obtained from the publisher from a NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. This book is a novella by Lorna James and while I thought the story had some ideas and plot points the would have been better served by a longer book it does deliver everything promised.... Two hot Dukes, a lusty Virgin and some very steamy MMF scenes. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
On the surface, Cromwell Stone and Huxley Brigmore loathed each other. From their school days at Eaton to their ascension as peers of the realm, the two dukes could be counted on to be on opposite sides of an argument. However, only a trusted few knew that the passion they shared was deeper and more forbidden than whose horse would win at Newmarket. Not only did they go through women like they changed their cravats, they did it together. Lady Sophia Hodges¿ obsession with tarot cards and the spirit world would have labeled her as odd, if not for the fact the Queen shares her interest. While searching for a connection with her dead mother, she narrowly avoids a scandal with Cromwell Stone. She blames that erotic manuscript she's been reading in secret for giving her such unnatural curiosities. When Sophia is powerless to stop her father from gambling away their livelihood, and even less able to stop him from arranging a marriage to Stone, she consults her tea leaves and sees a future rife with passion and other confusing portents. Little did her father know, she secretly loved another duke. Huxley Brigmore never even looked her way, but she had fallen for him ever since he chased off a gang of ruffians who had been about to accost her. Now, she was going to marry his arch enemy, Stone, and be hated by default.Only it doesn't work out quite that way as it seems both men are intent on pursuing her and fulfilling every naughty fantasy a well-bred virgin shouldn't even be having. When the tarot leads the three of them to try to solve a mystery surrounding Huxley's family, they face peril and forbidden passion in an attempt to find the perfect future.

I liked this story. Stone and Huxley really do get into fights at balls. Sophia is afraid they will kill one another. Sophia and Huxley also have spiritualism in common which Stone does not believe in. Sophia reads her cards, but they are not clear for her. I liked that she has something in common with both men. Each can explore their connection with the other. When it all comes together, it is hot. I liked their solution. I also liked that they looked into the mystery of Huxley's family. It seems the acorn did not fall far from the tree. They secret was unexpected by me and the characters.
I look forward to more from this author. ( )
