Review by: Delilah Fawkes on Dec. 14, 2011 :
HOT and fascinating!

This story is the first part of what seems to be a longer series, and feels like part fairy tale part Regency erotic romance.

Sex oozes from the pages, but is broken up by strange fantasy creatures I want to know more about, as well as the strange family the heroine is forced to serve.

The erotic scenes were intense and lush, the language really making you feel both the arousal and fear of the main character. It's very well done, and I really enjoyed it :).

The one thing that makes me give this four stars instead of five is that a couple of times I felt like there was some POV confusion. I thought I was in one person's head, and then another person is smelling something or thinking something. Not sure if I wasn't following, or if there were small mixups, but it made me pause a couple of times.

It definitely wasn't anything to detract from the story, though, and I can't wait to read more!
